You only need Qt installed for this. Qt is rather smaller than the kernel source anyway :-) I think there's a GTK-based configurator around somewhere too, and you could probably rewrite a Tk one if so inclined... the configuration actually uses a library now, so the frontends are decently independent. > falling back to menuconfig...
