That's because we didn't have the "select INPUT if VT" yet.. Anyone, can we at least get a different option for this thingy then? CONFIG_EMBEDEDDED is even more wrong in this context than in the old one. What about two new options to replace the old CONFIG_EMBEDDED? - CONFIG_AUNT_TILLIE - for this kind of shoot yourself in the foot protection and - CONFIG_NONSTD_ABI - for the original sense of a kernel so limited that parts of the usual userland ABI may disappear - 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/
