There are already help files that start out, "unless you really know what you are doing, you should say Y here" and go on to explain why. Hopefully most people who have the initiative to compile their own kernel will have enough to press "?" or "h" when configuring it. ___ Trevor Johnson <trevor@jpj.net>
