The facility has been in the > -ac kernel, and was recently submitted for consideration in 2.5 that's odd. the selection for kernel .config support has been in the red hat config menus for at least the last release, as well as the extraction script .../scripts/extract-ikconfig. but this never worked due to a missing "binoffset" utility. i even filed a bugzilla on that (bug 65677). just curious -- how did that ever end up in the distributed red hat kernel if it was never standard? strange. rday - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
