"make xconfig" X windows (Qt) based configuration tool.

"make gconfig" X windows (Gtk) based configuration tool.
|

"make oldconfig" Default all questions based on the contents of

your existing ./.config file.
|

your existing ./.config file and asking about

new config symbols.

"make silentoldconfig"

Like above, but avoids cluttering the screen

with questions already answered.

"make defconfig" Create a ./.config file by using the default

symbol values from arch/$ARCH/defconfig.
|

"make allyesconfig"
|
||||
Create a ./.config file by setting symbol
|
||||
values to 'y' as much as possible.

"make allmodconfig"
|
||||
Create a ./.config file by setting symbol

values to 'm' as much as possible.

"make allnoconfig" Create a ./.config file by setting symbol

The allyesconfig/allmodconfig/allnoconfig/randconfig variants can

also use the environment variable KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG to specify a

filename that contains config options that the user requires to be

set to a specific value. If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=filename is not used,
|

"make *config" checks for a file named "all{yes/mod/no/random}.config"
|
||||
for symbol values that are to be forced. If this file is not found,
|
||||
it checks for a file named "all.config" to contain forced values.

NOTES on "make config":

- having unnecessary drivers will make the kernel bigger, and can
