It also corrects some places where I omitted a CONFIG_ prefix. It should be applied after my previous patches 1, 2, and 3 under the same title. --- Configure.help 2001/04/18 03:04:27 1.4 +++ Configure.help 2001/04/18 05:23:14 @@ -93,6 +93,12 @@ you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase. +Prompt for drivers for obsolete features and hardware +CONFIG_OBSOLETE + Obsolete drivers have usually been replaced by more recent software that + can talk to the same hardware.
