I'm curious, aside rsbac, what in the .config is altering the

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION

Ah, ok - I feared something less obviously more complex. Do we need
this options at all? People can still just edit the EXTRAVERSION
line in the Makefile - at least I always did so ...
It makes it easy for people who build a lot of different kernel
versions and patchsets with similar configs. When compiling a kernel
for "aphrodite", I use my "config.aphrodite4" which has
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-aphrodite4". I may patch the kernel first with
-mm or another patchset for testing which modify EXTRAVERSION, and
with the localversion change I get the following kernels, depending
only on patchset and my config:
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-aphrodite4
/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-mm4-aphrodite4
[...etc...]

Somone asked me why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/
philosophy/) software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Schulz
had the best answer:
"Why do musicians compose symphonies and poets write poems? They do
it because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't.
That's why I draw cartoons. It's my life."
