   Hi, thanks,   
      
   building this file from scratch with "make menuconfig" is what I tried   
   when building kernel 3.14.4. It works, but regarding those thousands of   
   options, it is very likely to overlook some of them.   
      
   I think, it is a more secure way to take a former .config file as a   
   template and only set / unset the new, additional options.   
      
   So, as a first step, I'd like to optimize an older kernel 2.6.39.4, which   
   is already in use, but I'm not sure, how to test several modifications.   
   I don't want to risk to lose the existing version by overwriting -- it   
   works, but only does not support webcams up to now.   
      
   Can the directory in /usr/src be copied from linux-2.6.39.4 to, let's say   
   linux-2.6.39.4-001 to get a completely different set of modules and   
   kernel / initrd files, or does "make" take the version string out of the   
   sources somewhere and overwrites the existing ones?   
      
   Thanks in advance,   
   best regards,   
      
   Markus
