yep. I saw the "defconfig" used by "make menuconfig" after I did a
"make mrproper" several days ago.
Shown below, that's a pretty novel way to keep your .config safe. I
use make menuconfig. That has a dialog to pull in a .config and
another to save to file.

: ok, this is news to me. this suggests that, if there is no
.config,
: "make oldconfig" will use the file it finds in
arch/i386/defconfig.
: i was never aware of that. can anyone else comment on this?
