Side note, menuconfig has been superseded for a little while now. commit 692d97c380c6dce2c35a04c5dcbce4e831a42fa0 Author: nir.tzac...@gmail.com <nir.tzac...@gmail.com> Date: Wed Nov 25 12:28:43 2009 +0200 kconfig: new configuration interface (nconfig) This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg). Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel, form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is currently distributed with the kernel. Signed-off-by: Nir Tzachar <nir.tzac...@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mma...@suse.cz> I am not aware of any reason to keep using menuconfig. As far as I know, nconfig implements a superset. In projects like busybox and uclibc still stuck with only menuconfig, you're often wondering "where's X defined" and you can't just F8, type part of the Kconfig variable name, and get all the info you wished for.
