And it's IMHO great.

But it's not a problem with drivers/ata, is it? Personally I think I'd prefer a dialog box listing dependencies and asking what to do with that, and other improvements. I guess I should start hacking kconfig some day. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
