This clearly states that the prompt you're looking for is a line that
says "open by fhandle syscalls" under "General setup"
Sure, it's not the absolute simplest interface (i.e. it doesn't give a
'enable this' in the search results) but it does give all the
necessary information about a given option to find it (as well as
dependencies and their current states, etc). The most likely reason
the news item doesn't list the specific "prompt" text (or even the
category) is that, across even sub release versions of the kernel
those are prone to change (and, at times, drastically) while the
actual CONFIG_<name> option tends to be fairly static through time
once it exists (even when superseded by new toys, i.e. older
IDE/ATA/ATAPI options vs newer PATA options).
But if you press "1" in the example above you will "jump" directly to
the menu item. Clue --> (1)
And that is by far the HANDIEST tip from this thread... awesome! Thx Dan!
