Hello Bill,
I recently built and installed Linux v2.0.0 from tsx-11.mit.edu. I noticed some small problems with the *make menuconfig* program.
a. In the Main Menu the selection "Load an alternate configuration File" has extra spaces between the word "load" and "an". I know this is nit pickin.
b. In the Main Menu the selection "Save an alternate configuration File" would be more clearer if it said, "Save as an alternate configuration File". An extra word.
c. The real problem is when I save/load a file using the shell bash I can't do the following.
-- I can't enter $HOME/file.cfg. It doesn't read the environment variable $HOME.
-- I can't enter ~user/file.cfg. It doesn't recognize the tilde following by a username. The error is "Can't find the directory".
Also if I made a mistake or entered that stuff above and then I change my mind whereby I don't want to save/load a config file, I can't exit. I've tried deleting all the characters such that the line contains nothing and replacing the entry with a space(s) to no avail. I must do ctrl-c to abort.
Other than this, I didn't have any other problems using menuconfig to build Linux v2.0.0 with all available options.
