Hi,

No code available yet, but while doing the compras I've physically crashed
(on my bike) into an idea:

localconfig(9) Generating local configuration localconfig(9)

NAME
localconfig - generate a .config for the local computer

SYNOPSIS
make localconfig
make dep ... etc... pp...

DESCRIPTION
Generate a .config for the local computer, so that the kernel
could be built right in that moment. Therefor the local computer
is being examined, probed and configured and all the devices that
we find go into your .config.

The version is probably never 100% accurate, it might be a good
idea to manually recheck the .config (e.g. via make menuconfig)

This is supposed to be a first step into a new direction where
we no longer copy vendor kernels from the vendor CD to the system
in the first position, but rather configure a new kernel for each
system, hoping that somewhen the boxes will be fast enough to
handle it in no time.

AVAILABILITY
Linux 2.7+
