Uuumph. Thanks for reminding me. That made me update the page and the Changelog in a hurry.
It does work for latest 2.4. I ported to 2.4.19 a couple of months ago. Nowadays it uses string common prefix compression to reduce the internal size. Probably 4-12K in total (there are a LOT of kernel compilation params nowadays), but the output from /proc/config is exactly as it should be.
Module Size Used by Not tainted config 10908 0 (unused)
betty:/usr/oboe/ptb/lib/www/proconfig% cat /proc/config | wc 855 855 18421
(855 kernel config options, with 18.4K of output chars)
betty:/usr/oboe/ptb/lib/www/proconfig% head /proc/config CONFIG_X86=y CONFIG_ISA=y CONFIG_UID16=y CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_MODULES=y ...
Now I suppose I need to port it to latest 2.5. Assuming I can compile a 2.5, that is! I haven't tried since 2.5.47, which was before that modules change.
