[Tony Gettig]

On a related note (and possibly helpful to this problem), is there a way to extract the settings of a kernel to a file? For instance, the stock RH kernel is fine for me, but maybe I want to add or remove support for some hardware or service. It would be cool if I could find out what is in there right now, extract it to a file, load those settings in xconfig, and tweak from there. When you run make mrproper, everything is pretty much reset and you have to configure it to your liking. Is there a way to do this?

Okey, I'm running a fairly fresh Debian install (liking it so far) but 
had to roll my own kernel to get the sound card to recognize (annonying 
but I'll live)

Now I'm trying to set up an ipchains firewall and seem to have left 
something OUT of the kernel.  But for the life of me I can't figure out 
what it is.

Off hand does anyone know what options need to be compiled in to the 
kernel to get ipchains working??

I'm compiling 2.2.19, sources fresh off kernel.org
