Hi,

I think this version is supposed to illustrate much better what I've had
in my mind.

localconfig(9) Generating local configuration localconfig(9)

NAME
        localconfig - generate a .config for the local computer

SYNOPSIS
        make localconfig
        make dep ... etc... pp...

DESCRIPTION
        Generate a .config for the local computer, so that the kernel
        could be built right in that moment. Therefor the local
        computer is being examined, probed and configured and all the
        devices that we find go into your .config.

        This is supposed to be a first step into a new direction where
        we no longer copy vendor packages from the vendor CD to the
        system in the first place, but rather compile new packages for
        each system, hoping that somewhen the boxes will be fast
        enough to handle it in no time. It's basically a binary
        distribution -> source distribution transition.

AVAILABILITY
        Linux 2.7+

SEE ALSO
        make(1), kbuild(9)

        scripts/localconfig.pl

BUGS
        The version is probably never overly accurate, it might be a
        good idea to manually recheck the .config (e.g. via make
        menuconfig) in the first versions.
