CRUX is the only Linux distro where, in Linux kernel, you have to "enable" mouse (out of SOURCEMAGE, Gentoo, Fedora, BLAG, Frugalware, Arch, gNewSense & some others i did not remember)
As Michele already said, there is no kernel configuration that comes with CRUX. What you see, if you run make menuconfig in a fresh tree, is the kernel-dev's "default" configuration.

Hi Jue,
Hi Clare,
This has me puzzled. I am installing the trial version of 2.3. To make my life easier I always copy the kernel from the CD into /boot and copy the modules from the CD also. That way I have no need to compile a kernel the first time, just get grub in and try it out. After setting that really useful variable LESSOPEN='|/usr/lib/less/filter %s' I was able to get the config used in the running CD kernel with less /proc/config.gz > gzconfig and then diff .config gzconfig showed it to be the same as the initial .config in the kernel source (except small difference in version and date).
yes, you are right, it's the same. I never noticed that setup copies the ISO kernel-config to /usr/src/linux-<version>. Whether that config is sensible as an starting point or not is another question, because there are lot of modules you never need enabled, and other more important might be not. Anyway, thanks for hint. Juergen -- Juergen Daubert | mailto:jue@jue.li Korb, Germany | http://jue.li/crux
