You're asking _me_ if I can read? Ten years ago, people used 'depends on' to fix the tools, so that then you want to enable something like USB_STORAGE, it can automatically turn SCSI on for you. Isn't that what you wanted? You don't need to screw over the technical users -- the _common_ case -- in order to achieve that. We had it. TEN YEARS AGO. In the tools. -- dwmw2 - 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/
