I am installing new Linux distro (gentoo) and I want to copy the linux kernel config I have here in the linux mint live USB to the Gentoo system. The way Mint has the kernel config file is /boot/config-3.19.0-32-generic but in Gentoo it has to be /proc/config.gz (specific file path in this situation is /mnt/gentoo/proc/config.gz). Could I take the config-3.19.0.32-generic and turn it into config.gz and just copy? Is there other way to do this?
