I was upgrading from 1.3.68 to 1.3.70. I did "make mrproper", patched
the sources, did "make oldconfig". No questions were asked, the
process completed, but finally the configuration had almost nothing
to do with the previous one.
I also noted "NEW" suffixes since 1.3.68 when doing the usual "make
config". I don't know why that suffix appeared.
I thought "make oldconfig" should ask for all previously unasked
questions.
Who can tell me?
