When I did "make menuconfig" after downloading linux-2.6.0-test4, I noticed
three issues:

1) In the main menu, there are two items called "General Setup":
  ? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
?
  ? ?           Code maturity level options  --->                         ?
?
  ? ?     ==>   General setup  --->               <==                     ?
?
  ? ?           Loadable module support  --->                             ?
?
  ? ?           Platform support  --->                                    ?
?
  ? ?     ==>   General setup  --->               <==                     ?
?
  ? ?           Advanced setup  --->                                      ?
?
  ? ?           Generic Driver Options  --->                              ?
?

IMO the items from the first "General setup" menu could go into the second
"General setup" menu, so the first could be removed.

2) several menu items react strangely to "help", for example "FDDI driver
support" in "Networking support":  no help comes up, instead the cursor jumps
to another menu item. The same thing happens if "help" is invoked for the
second time on a submenu item ( XXX --> ) in a submenu of the main menu (for
example on "Ethernet (1000 Mbit)" in "Networking support". I would expect in the
first case the "no help available" screen, and in the second case the general
menuconfig help, which appears if you invoke help on a submenu item for the
first time.

3) I can't invoke "make menuconfig" if I don't have write access to the
linux kernel directory, even if I just want to look at the configuration, not
save a modified one.

BTW, appart from these issues the 2.6 config menu is much cleaner than the
2.4 config menu, for example all filesystems are in one submenu of the main
menu. I appreciate that, thanks to all contributers!
