Get an usable minimal non-modules/non-initrd .config file for my new AMD64-based machine took me three days, I understand you :-/ The most frustrating part for me is that the options dependencies are not in a clear linear-tree layout. I.e., selecting/unselecting some option from the last menus can activate/deactive some option from the already visited first menus, thus forcing to review at lest two times all entries to can know what is actually selected. -- Manuel Canales Esparcia Usuario de LFS nº2886: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org LFS en castellano: http://www.escomposlinux.org/lfs-es http://www.lfs-es.info TLDP-ES: http://es.tldp.org -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
