I've been working on a build/compile environment in DSL-N to enable me to compile applications and modules away from an Internet connection.

Basically, I have a simple script to install a set of deb packages I downloaded previously and (if needed) a second script to install and prepare the full kernel sources.

It's not a big deal, but rather than having to manually execute the following actions, is it possible to use a script to achieve the same thing?

Code Sample

# make menuconfig
<select menu item "load alternative configuration">
<load knoppix .config file>
<select "exit">
<select "save alternative configuration">
# make modules_prepare

Instead of using make menuconfig where it requires user interaction, why not overwrite defconfig and use make oldconfig (or whatever the equivalent is on 2.6.x)?
