I had the same idea - I intended to produce a very basic config file for
2.2.13 (because it's what I'm using at the moment) but I couldn't produce
one config file (really simple, no networking, no SCSI) which would produce
a successful make on SuSE and Mandrake boxes, so I said "screw it !"
Oh no - it's happening - Linux is forking :-) But seriously, I do wish these
distribution vendors would at least leave the kernel source tree in a
pristine state.
