By manually you mean editing the .config file directly? If so, you must run make old-config to update everything else before running a make, or it'll use the old settings. The .config file is simply a nicely portable way to package up all the settings in one place, but the build system doesn't normally use it until you import it using make oldconfig, updating the multitude of settings in the multitude of locations that the build system normally uses. If that forces it on as well, then you have something else configured on that requires it, somewhere. Perhaps grepping the sources? I don't know where all the help texts are saved or I'd suggest grepping them only since they tell what dependencies they set and the like. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
