 |
|
| Is there any way to make "make oldconfig" NOT prompt for new options, but just accept the defaults (ie make oldconfig --noprompt)? Or is there another "make xxxxconfig" option that will just take the defaults from .config and leave out any extras? Thanks! |

Doesn't work everytime but you can try this:
| Code: | | yes n | make oldconfig |
It will only work if all questions are y/n questions |

I tried it just as you said ("yes n | make oldconfig") and for some reason it doesn't answer yes OR no to the questions... instead it brings up the help menu ("?"). Any ideas? |

becasue that question asks for a number. You can also try make menuconfig and save immediately but it might give you undesired result. |
