[olug] What's In My Kernel

[Joe Catanzaro]

So, because I wasn't able to find a .config file, I went ahead with "make 
config" to begin compiling. Each CONFIG item has a default selection. 
([Y/n]  for example, and obviously the capitol letter being the default.) 
How is the default determined? Is that what the kernel developers think is 
going to be best, or is that what's currently in my kernel?

Thanks,
