i learned that the configurations settled with i.e. menuconfig is stored in /usr/src/ linux/.config
so i guess the next steps: make dep, make bzImage... will compile the kernel according to .config
if that is true, i just have to save several .config files as other names. and when i need one of them, i can just name it ".config" and compile it. consequently, i don't need settle the options by menuconfig. can anyone comfirm?
thanks!!
forget to mention this. this can solve u much time when u meet big problems. but as i know, unless u change some improtant settings like smp support, and if u only change some device setting, u can omit this step and save some time.
