You would need to understand the syntax of the config file with a different tool. It should not be used. I think, all files belong in a single well-defined location. We already warn about that since the last release. In the end, we should aim for no config file at all here, instead of providing features to needlessly complicate things. :) Thanks, Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-modules" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
