Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1052 Lines: 33 Hi, Today I downloaded 2.6.1 kernel and tried to configure it with "make gconfig". After all changes I selected "Save As" and clicked "/root" folder to save in. Then I clicked "OK", without giving a file name. I expected that it opens root folder and lists contents. But this magic configurator removed (rm -Rf) my root folder and created a file named "root". It was a terrible experience!.. Please fix this. I didn't check that same problem (I even didn't launch them) exist for other configurators then gconfig. I send this mail here because I guessed that the configurator is a part of kernel. Note: (As you wished) Please CC me your responses. TIA -- Comp. Eng.
