I think defconfig with an empty initial config file makes a lot more sense than allnoconfig so that we're using the default values from the normal Kconfig files. > See one of Linus' replies on June 3: > Message-ID: See this response: Message-ID: http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?message_id=%3cAANLkTik%2dQCXFnjma3J28B9h27uajOcDhthTGz99zKgVi%40mail.gmail.com%3e g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
