My experience with "make menuconfig" is that I sometimes/often can't turn off an option because another option depends on it. There's nothing difficult with "make menuconfig" because you can search for a specific config value with "/" except that you like to ask for help but never seem to like the advice that's given. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
