sometimes, CONFIG options are removed from Kconfig files but they're not simultaneously removed from the defconfig files because that would just be redundant. as i recall, the defconfig files are eventually rebuilt, at which point those redundant values would be removed. in the meantime, they're not doing any damage. if you're interested, i regularly run a set of kernel source scanning scripts i've written and post the results. if you're interested, i document such things here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Kernel_cleanup and the scripts themselves are here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Kernel_cleanup_scripts some day, i'll probably rewrite those scripts and bring them up to date, but they seem to work pretty well so far. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
