[clue-tech] Re: [clue-announce] Kernel Customization

[Ben Klopfenstein]

if the config doesn't exist in /boot, you can (depending on whether support
has been added to the current kernel) pull the current kernel's .config from
"cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip"
if you want to be sure you are building ONLY modules you need, you would
need to probably either manually tune the kernel after copying in your
current .config, or loading everything you think you will need and using
some variation of the pipe mentioned a few messages ago. if you are
interested, there's a LKML thread that might point you in the right
direction, and there's a few scattered blogs out there that discuss some
solutions. Nothing I have seen seems very current, but is probably all a
good place to start.
