is there something that I can use in redhat 7.2 that will print out all my hardware... or a list of item marked (y) from my present running kernel?

I'm about to install the new kernel... mainly to get access to my ntfs. I've installed the kernel before... that not really a problem... I am just wondering if there is anything that will print out or let me view all items marked yes in my kernel. I tried doing a make menuconfig and looking there, but what comes up is the same old default settings that are with any kernel.

thank again,
will

Usaually you can use the .config file in /usr/src/linux/ to view the present settings. To get all variables set to yes just do cat /usr/src/linux.config|grep =y. You should even be able to use the old file for the new kernel as default. Just beware of any new settings that don't appear in the old kernel version or have different names there. They will be set to the default (which most of the times isn't what you want)

FYI.

On my Red Hat 7.1 box I used:

cat /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/configs/kernel-2.4.2-i686.config | grep =y
