Automate compiling of linux kernel
Hi,
I'm a newbie at kernel compilation.
Currently trying to do a bash script to automate the compiling process of the linux kernel.
I'm having some problems with automating the configuration.
I know its possible to load an existing .config file in the make menuconfig screen prompt.
But it is possible to load the .config file by passing it as some kind of argument?
Something like make some-command /path/to/my/.config/?
If not, is there any alternative to that, so I can go through the configuration process without selecting manually?
Thanks in advance.

load Loads the NetLabel configuration specified by /etc/netlabel.rules into the kernel.
EXIT STATUS
Returns zero on success, errno values on failure.
NOTES

Kernels version 2.6.25 and later. The domain mapping address selectors are only supported on Linux Kernels 2.6.28 and later.
