If so, I don't think its a good idea. While a kernel may have CKRM enabled, the user may choose not to use it. In such a case, he should have the option of not loading the rcfs module. How does one restrict the choices of a tristate variable to exclude just the N selection ? It wasn't clear from the kconfig-language.txt...any pointers appreciated. -- Shailabh - 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/
