Is there an easy way to automate, or semi-automate, this recompile? As far as I know, every time a new kernel source is released, I must re-run "make menuconfig", build the kernel etc.... I'd just rather have a solution where I can set it up and then forget it. This is just a router, fileserver and firewall - it doesn't do anyhing else, so I don't really want to have to mess with it much - but it is required that it be as secure as reasonably possible.
Sure: cd new-kernel; cp ../old-kernel/.config .; make-kpkg kernel_imageKernel config files are upward compatible to new patch versions. 2.6 has an 'oldconfig' target to convert 2.4 config files.
