May I repeat my request that nobody does "select SCSI", please?
Al Boldy, would you please explain like I asked you:
- what is wrong with the current solution which tells the user to
first enable SCSI to get the USB_STORAGE option,
- whether there are frequent end-user requests which demonstrate
that many people currently don't realize how to enable USB_STORAGE.
Please use "select" carefully, particularly *only* for options which
enable simple compact library-like code which
- is small,
- doesn't itself depend on anything,
- doesn't has further configuration options in some other menu.
None of this applies to CONFIG_SCSI.
