Re: modules and kernel elements

[Ben Ransom <bransom ucdavis edu>]

I see, looking in /usr/src/linux-<VERSION>/configs and grepping the 
appropriate file for "=m" will show the default list of modules.  It is 
still a little muddy however, as the list of "=m" from the above file does 
not match the list of "=m" from the .config file built with 'make oldconfig'

The main point tho is that I do not want to make a new kernel image and set 
of modules that is different from out of box -- at least as a starting 
point before customizing.  Is this why you suggest simply copying over 
/usr/src/linux-<VERSION>/configs/<APPROPRIATE_FILE> to 
/usr/src/linux-<VERSION>/.config?  (and then do make xconfig)
Thanks,
