i don't know what you're getting at here. are you saying this is a bad idea because it will make a mess of the current usage of CONFIG_EMBEDDED in the source tree? $ grep -rw CONFIG_EMBEDDED * ... lots of irrelevant defconfig output deleted ... drivers/pci/setup-res.c:#ifdef CONFIG_EMBEDDED include/linux/ide.h:#if !defined(MAX_HWIFS) || defined(CONFIG_EMBEDDED) $ i don't see a whole lot of impact here. more to the point, though, the word "EMBEDDED" in this context is just wrong. people might have *other* reasons to de-activate some of those features rather than just for an embedded system. granted, that's probably where it will *mostly* happen, but i prefer the idea of labelling those selections for what they really are -- for *saving* *space*, because that's exactly what they represent. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
