if i start with the latest git kernel repo, it *looks* like i can use the /boot/config-4.2.8-200.fc22.x86_64 config file as a starting point, copy it in as .config, then:
$ make allmodconfig $ make localmodconfig
How much simpler could you make it? :)
The place you're most likely to screw it up is to forget to plug in all your USB and other widgets at least once before the 'make localmodconfig' to make sure they get modprobed.
As a practical matter, if 'make allmodconfig' had slightly different semantics, we could do better. 'allmod' has semantics of 'turn on every possible =m'. If there were a semantic of 'convert as many existing =y into =m, but *don't* convert =n into =m', we could do this and it would almost certainly be faster.
yeah, that's definitely what i'm after. i see no immediate way to fake or emulate that. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P. J.
