The option doesn't show up in my Intel .config file. I would have to say that this particular option is Linux/390 specific.

Could I build this into a PowerPC nucleus for example? Would it even work if I did? I'm just curious if anyone's tried this... (Don't ask me to try it on the iMac, I'm still getting used to it, although I suppose I could try it on the intel box...) Rod
