Thank you for replying.  I will use that list instead the next time.

Mine are slightly different:

$ cat /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.10-2.6.10/debian/config/amd64/amd64-k8 |grep ^CONFIG | sort -u > /tmp/config1.sorted
$ cat /boot/config-2.6.10-5-amd64-k8 | grep ^CONFIG | sort -u > /tmp/config2.sorted
$ diff  /tmp/config1.sorted /tmp/config2.sorted

What does this mean?  Did I miss a patch somehow?

Thanks again,
Toni
