Ugh. Please, let's not go the way of the sort of #ifdef madness that tragically afflicts other platforms. Modularity in the the Solaris kernel is achieved by creating separate loadable modules. So long as you understand what those modules do and how they relate to each other, you can build and change subsets of them to alter your system as you choose. I don't agree that 'make menuconfig' would be a good thing. It's a maintenance and testing nightmare. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
