Description Mark Finnegan 2006-06-03 10:58:45 UTC 
from "/usr/bin/genkernel": GK_V='3.3.11d'

"man genkernel" description of command line switch "--kernel-config" reads:

  --kernel-config=<file>
   This specifies a kernel configuration file to use for compilation; by default

should read:

  --kernel-config=<file>
   This specifies a kernel configuration file to use for compilation; by default /usr/src/linux/.config

patch to fix manpage

The . in .config was preventing the man page from being viewed as intended. It might be better to escape the . but I couldn't find a way to (\ wouldn't seem to work).

I've added this to CVS and it'll show up in the next genkernel release.

Fixed in 3.4.0_pre1, thanks.
