The config files for all the Slackware/SPARC kernels are in /kernels/<name
of kernel>/config. Copy that to /usr/src/linux/.config, run make
oldconfig, then make vmlinux.

Yeah, that should be fun. :)

That reminds me, I think I'm going to start syncing back to the rsync
server for you guys to make use of. I removed it to save bandwidth, but
now I don't so much care. It's just another line in the sync script and
we just upgraded our LAN here to switched 100BaseTX, so one person syncing
doesn't slow down all of the other machines.
I'll let everyone know when I start using the rsync server again. You
don't have to worry about the FTP site getting overloaded. :)
