Can someone point me to the kernel .config file used in 1.0 Alpha ? Or even better can I suggest that it be enabled in the kernel itself (CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC). This came about while I was trying to determine if the kernel supported Multi LUN devices (CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN).
Supplying a .config or being able to pull the config from /proc/config.gz, would help other individuals and myself make those few kernel tweaks we need.

Re: Kernel config
@caliban
config is built as "M" so you need to load it first:
modprobe configs && zcat /proc/config.gz > porteus.config
please add [SOLVED]

Re: Kernel config
You learn something new everyday. It never occurred to me to modprobe configs. I usually just use it for hardware drivers and never really considered it for anything else. For the record, CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is Y (enabled).
Thanks and will mark it [SOLVED]

"It never occurred to me to modprobe configs."
vmlinuz (kernel) needs to be unpacked to the memory at each boot. bigger vmlinuz size = longer boot time. kernel config is rarely needed for the user (if at all), that's why i have decided to compile it as a module (M).
