375 | genkernel will save your kernel config in <path>/etc/kernels</path> and use that |

|
376 | config whenever you issue <c>genkernel</c> again. If you want to start off again |

377 | with the defaults, rename the file in <path>/etc/kernels</path>. genkernel will |

378 | then use the kernel config located in |
