Tried the update directions to update the config used by 2.6.31.5 - It gets into a pissy-fit about our symbols not having the form "CONFIG_*" - - - just ignore that. (And the fact that make oldconfig re-writes it to suit itself.) choice prompt "whatever" help Some sort of meaningfull message. - - - - - - - endchoice **DOES NOT** work in the kernel.org version either. Yes, Virginia, they use that form see: choice of kernel compression. This parser is badly broken and has been for years... Might just be easier to patch the language description. ;) Mike > Found by: > clean clone of repository; > checkout tag 2009.11 > make menuconfig > > now select 'help' on the first screen. > Note lack of help text (it used to default to the general help). > What is that 'selected by: m' ??
