Copying config file from the 2.2 series to the 2.4 series. 2.) Copying the config file from one minor version to another within the same series. I have seen plenty of questions asked about compiling a custom kernel, but I don't remember this issue being tackled in any of them. Thanks, Andyi did this with the 2.4.18-686 config file from debian to a clean source.It did not build and i had a lot of hassle to find options to make it build. But try by all means, but if you run in to ' unresolved headers' or something like that it probably is uncorrect options. The worst thing that can happen is that you spend time on it, if it builds you are ok.Kenneth
