I've been looking at the documentation for compiling the kernel, and something
seems missing to me.
There is ample documentation on configuring the kernel, but I don't see the
issue of the starting point addressed anywhere. It seems to be assumed that
if you're going to compile the kernel, then you want to individually visit
every configuration parameter and make a selection. There is good
documentation everywhere on how to do this.
If you have a working kernel, however, it seems far more logical to use its
configuration as a starting point and make the changes relative to that. In
SuSE, there are good instructions on getting this starting point, but I don't
see anything like that in Debian. I *DO* see a config file in the /boot
directory, but it is ambiguous (at best) as to whether this is the
configuration for the running kernel.
Being fair, when something is so pointedly not addressed, it usually means I
should have known the answer without asking - but I'll admit to ignorance.
Would someone be so kind as to point me at the place for the current config
(probably the one in /boot, but this isn't something I want to take a chance
on) for a starting point?
