I looked into this and apparently RedHat does NOT enable this feature in their default kernels. It is rather cool though. In `make menuconfig`, under general setup, the help option does not elaborate on how to get the compressed config file out of the kernel image. How is this accomplished? Thx, Bart >>> Well, as I said. RH may have compiled-in support for /proc/config which is the currently running config file direct from the kernel itself. I enable it on all my Gentoo kernels just in case.
