Or we make sure the descriptions are generic enough to fit >(s/lilo/bootloader/, et al).
Each arch has its own list of installable targets. VMLINUX is always allowed for every architecture because everything has to build that before converting to a bootable format. In CML1 the help text for a choice is filed under the first option on the list, i.e. VMLINUX. I tried to make that text as generic as possible but don't sweat it, in CML2 each choice gets its own help text and the problem goes away. _______________________________________________ kbuild-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/kbuild-devel
