heya, usually, the config is in /boot like you said, but if you think it might be incorrect for some reason, and since you're running the bf24 kernel, you can read the kernel config for it here: ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21/bf2.4/kernel-config i find it endlessly helpful to have the kernel config for the boot floppy in a file right next to the boot images. there have been more than a few times that people have said "it doesn't support this hardware", and then i could do a simple grep through those files and say "ok, try this boot floppy set". hth sean On Sun, Feb 02, 2003 at 04:48:06PM +0100, Andrej Prsa wrote: > Dear everybody, > > Is it possible to retrieve .config file for a running kernel somehow?
