well, you won't find it in menuconfig. Or at least I couldn't. You can
reach that option in xconfig.
On the other hand ZLIB_DEFLATE is turned on by a douzend of other
options that it is VERY probable you never have to touch it.
xconfig doesn't turn on options that aren't there in menuconfig ... you just
might be able to navigate xconfig's interface better.
Any time you can't see how to enable a kernel option, just search for it and
look at the Selected By field to see what you need to turn it on:
Symbol: ZLIB_DEFLATE [=y]
Type : tristate
Defined at lib/Kconfig:198
Selected by: PPP_DEFLATE [=n] && NETDEVICES [=y] && PPP [=n] || BTRFS_FS [=n] && BLOCK [=y] || JFFS2_ZLIB
[=n] && MISC_FILESYSTEMS [=y] && JFFS2_FS [=n] || LOGFS [=n] && MISC_FILESYSTEMS [=y] && (MTD [=n] ||
BLOCK [=y]
My personal preference is nconfig ... easy to navigate, nice colors on black
bgd.
There's always a lot to learn :D
I will have a look at nconfig and give it a try in the future.
Many thanks for the tips, Bruce
