RE: Printing Kernel Options

[David Morrison <ddm beachnet com>]

Comments:

1) You can see whether you have a file  /usr/src/linux/.config
2) If you do  "make xconfig", there is an option to save the configuration to 
a file. Then, the next time you compile a kernel, you can reload that 
configuration.
3) I once made a Tcl/Tk interface to the kernel configuration. It will 
examine the configuration, and answer questions about it. It will
quickly answer questions like "Did I compile xyz into the kernel, or 
did I make it a module?" If this program would be useful, I can make
it available.
