I dont think you will build correctly unless you use the advanced kernel setting for the AVR32 and AT91. Copying the build configuration to the root file system is in line with the open source model, since it helps people to reproduce whatever is on the board if they buy the product. If you want to debug something, then it is good to know how it was configured. If someone calls in with a board without this, then it is too late to do anything about it. Obviously, since I put it there, I want to have it ON for all my customers. As for the copyto, this is a convenience, and people can configure whatever they want. I find that it saves time to have this on. BR Ulf Samuelsson
