You might get into the situation, where you need a linux-kernel ".config"
for example after a disk-crash and a loss of data or if you building an embedded
device and need to know about the manufacturer's original configuration or if your
intend to learn about kernel-configuration or if you are developing programs or drivers
and need a certain configuration for your development-procedure. |
Either you could choose to run the kernel and access the ".config" directly
but maybe you do not have that possibility or the access to the configuration file
was not included in the compilation-process. |
This is where extract26config comes in. extract26config can extract a ".config"
for you from a kernel-image that does not need to run. Or it can reconstruct a ".config" by downloading
the kernel-sources and compile them to compare the image with the compiled sources. last but not least it
can read a "System.map"-file and write back a ".config" that comes quite close to
the original configuration |
Please notice: This program is not supposed to support any form of abuse. Please do not harm anybody or steal someones work by passing a ".config" off as yours. |
