Note, it the local config is only as good as the starting .config. That is, it never touches =y settings, because it only uses loaded modules as a base. Thus if something is set to =y it will always be set to =y. What would you have in mind. Just randomly enabling modules? If we enable a "y" config then the next local*config will still keep that set. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
