[Buildroot] Selecting custom skeleton hides terminal settings Why ?

[Sagaert Johan]

Hi
 
(2012.11 git)
 
When i select a custom skeleton the settings for the login prompt (ttyxxx) and baudrate are hidden .
Can someone explain why this was altered this way ? 
 
Regards Johan

Because it relies on a specific syntax in the default /etc/inittab, that
might not be present if you use a custom skeleton (perhaps you don't
even have an inittab).

Hi Peter ;

I will try to make a patch so when a custom skeleton is selected you get a choice whether you would like to configure the console
yes/no ?
Could you agree with that ?

Johan

No, when you select a custom skeleton you have full freedom, but you're
also on your own.

Why don't you just set the correct terminal setting in your custom
inittab?
