It's harder to explain and traditionally in LILO you couldn't remove any options (in grub you can now). I think it makes much more sense to have an positive option for this too, not a negative one. Also I must add my patch fixes real bugs in the code, not just adding the new option. > I'm not going to be the only one confused by this! I think there is much more confusion in the current way. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
