I find this undersirable. - after F5/Save + filename entered, the OK prompt is difficult to see if the entire screen (window) contains kconfig menu items - make complains with: GEN /local/linsrc/lnx-2632-rc6/zz64/Makefile scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/x86/Kconfig Using /local/linsrc/lnx-2632-rc6 as source for kernel /local/linsrc/lnx-2632-rc6 is not clean, please run 'make mrproper' in the '/local/linsrc/lnx-2632-rc6' directory because $ make ARCH=x86_64 O=zz64 defconfig creates an empty include/config/ directory. --- ~Randy -- 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
