I would guess that that would "refresh" your .config, thereby skipping the interrogation. In my case: [kumar@bluemoon ~/Software/Kernel/linux-git master] make [snip] scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig * * Restart config... * * * RCU Subsystem * RCU Implementation > 1. Tree-based hierarchical RCU (TREE_RCU) 2. Preemptable tree-based hierarchical RCU (TREE_PREEMPT_RCU) (NEW) choice[1-2]: I now hit Ctrl+C. Next, I do make menuconfig I just select Exit. When asked if I can save the configuration file, I say yes. Now, observe: [kumar@bluemoon ~/Software/Kernel/linux-git master] make scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig CHK include/linux/version.h UPD include/linux/version.h ... The interrogation step was skipped. Hope this helps. Kumar -- > Where in the US is Linus? He was in the "Promise Land". -- David S. Miller <davem@caip.rutgers.edu>
