| Here's the problem:
|   1. Unpack the kernel sources, run make menuconfig.
|   2. Mark the necessary options.
|   3. Pick "Save an alternate configuration file", enter a filename (e.g. /root/kernelcfg)
|   4. Pick "Exit".
| ->5. Configurator exits without saving. If type "make bzImage", it builtd all the default options.
| 
| And there's no ".config" file in kernel root directory, so i have to move there my "kernelcfg" and
| rename it.
| 
| If i just run "make menuconfig", then pick "Exit", then it asks "Save kernel configuration?".
| 
| This happens starting from kernel 2.6.20 till 2.6.20.2
| Slackware-current.
