[NTLUG:Discuss] redhat 7.1 compile issue

[Will Senn]

Hmmm, I'll have to give make config a try.  BTW, the .config file
warns against manual editing, is it honest?  I get extremely tired
of going through every option when all I want to do is tweak the
current one.  I would much rather cp .config .config.1 and whack
away at .config?

Thanks,

Will
