I will then use "echo n | make oldconfig" by default. I'm not sure that really removes the danger. What if they split out a driver you need into some other config option? If there's a way to echo a newline to all the questions, that would at least accept the defaults. Pardon me for being reactionary, but does "non-interactive kernel configuration" give anyone else the cold sweats? --=20 Ryan W Sims -- gentoo-kernel@gentoo.org mailing list
