Hi Folks,
I usually compile the linux kernel by copying current system .config file. But the problem it compile bunch things that I don't which is required. My aim is setup filesystem environmrnt setup on my laptop.
Could somebody point the minimal .config file that will save from me reading all the options and compile the kernel quickly and test it.
1 - Plug in and turn on *all* your external devices, this step is to ensure that the laptop kernel loads all the required modules for your devices. 2 - On the laptop run: lsmod > /tmp/jitendra-laptop This will store the currently loaded modules in the laptop to the file: /tmp/jitendra-laptop 3 - Pass it in as a LSMOD parameter to make: make LSMOD=/tmp/jitendra-laptop localmodconfig 4 - Done ! 5 - Install ccache. It will improve your build time dramatically. It caches objects. So it will reduce subsequent builds. Some interesting history about localmodconfig is here: http://www.h-online.com/open/features/Good-and-quick-kernel-configuration-cr... Good luck - Aruna
