[Solved] - Can't find my '.config' file.

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading through "Kernel Compilation from Source for New Users".
Here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … sers_Guide

With the view to compile my own Kernel (For educational reasons). However, I seemed to have
stumbled at step 2). of the 'step by step' guide. I can't find a '.config' file on my system!

Can i generate this file on my system some how?
Do i need to download a '.config' file from somewhere?

Please help.
Regards, PollyMath.

Hi JokerBoy,

Thank you for your response. "zcat /proc/config.gz > ~/.config" got me my 'config' file.
