Topic: how to customize kernel with buildroot

hello everybody!

my question is how to customize the kernel with the buildroot.
the buildroot-system is very great, but we have no possiblity to configure some kernel specialities. or do we?
the toolchain-doc doesn't mention this case. is it just a "make menuconfig" in the kernel-directory?

concrete: we want to remove the connection-tracking, because it causes a lot of trouble and we don't even need this feature, because we don't use nat. imho you can't disable this part in a running kernel so we have to remove it.

thanks for solutions!
ciao,

You exactly have to be in the kernel source directory, then make menuconfig, and configure your kernel in the way you intend to do it. Finally, do not forget to store the .config file to <buildroot directory>/target/linux/linux-2.4/config/brcm (for svn version)

oh, great.
i only have the cvs repository, i'll update to subversion and will have a try

thanks!
