BillB member Registered: 13/04/2000 Posts: 134 Loc: Orlando, FL USA	In this case, this isn't empeg related, but it's possible that it could apply at some point - Is there a reasonable way to determine what options a kernel was compiled with? I need to recompile, but I don't want to leave anything important out, and I'm not too familiar with the specific platform (sparc, in case it matters). Thanks, Bill B.
