Where'd the .config go?

Where'd the .config go?

Just compiled 2.4.23-bk3 and noticed that the option to save the .config
somewhere in the kernel is missing.  Mistake somewhere or has this been
removed?

It's never been merged in 2.4.x.  Marcelo didn't want it.
It's in 2.6.x.
There's a 2.4.22-pre patch in this dir that you can try:
  http://www.xenotime.net/linux/ikconfig/

Odd, it's in my 2.4.21-ac3 tree.  Guess it was in the ac for a short
durration.

IIRC Alan took that patch and merged in his -ac patchset.

No, that's not odd at all.  You're confusing vanilla 2.4 w/ 2.4-ac.

There is a reason for this is not in 2.4?
Not essential, but it is a good help.
