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.
