SubjectRe: config procfs patch
From

Hi,

+ We have a couple of operators who know basic UNIX
+ administration but don't much about the Linux kernel. In
+ my support role, I've found it helpful if they can provide
+ me with the kernel configuration. The attached patch adds
+ a build option for incorporating the settings in .config
+ into the kernel as a file in /proc. It can be added to the
+ kernel statically or made into a module.
+
+ Doing this:
+
+ echo /proc/config | mail apurtell
+
+ or this I guess:
+
+ /sbin/modprobe config && echo /proc/config | \
+ mail apurtell

I think it's very interresting idea and useful to make database
for PC hardware and kernel configuration.
But I can't try it because of kernel-version. ;-|
Have you made it for kernel-2.1.x? I hope it.

Thank you.
