Commenting on the syntax only (my intels have pulled their kernel configs forward from past versions with make oldconfig) : It doesn't seem to make sense in that form, but the final =n is, I think, saying that _unless_ you set AGP to =y (or perhaps =m, the || implies two alternatives) then whichever option that 'help' relates to cannot be selected. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
