[ILUG] SuSE 7.2 install kernel config file

Under SuSE, (I don't know about other distros) you can create a .config file
which is an exact copy of your running kernel using the command 'make
cloneconfig' in the /usr/src/linux directory. This can then be modified as
required.

Yes I was sure to install the source package but the make menuconfig pulls
the default [You have an i386 processor and that's about all], config from
the /arch/i386 directory.

What a pain in the ass.

Oh and yes my screensaver works fine [I'll trade you for sound support ;-) ]
