  This seems like a backwards step.  What's the reasoning for breaking the
  ability to configure the kernel for a completely different machine to the
  one that you're running the configuration/build on?
 
 He didn't.  If you want to do that, run make menuconfig instead of make 
 autoconfigure.

I detect a slight lack of symmetry here, shouldn't it be make autoconfig?
Pardon me if this has been beaten to^W^W discussed above.

Yes. It should be make autoconfig, for symmterty reasons :-)
I called the files and the project autoconfigure, because
'autoconfig' is already an utility made by GNU. (not related
to kernel)

This is kernel autoconfig, different namespace, same idea.  I don't think you 
have a problem.  Besides, last time I checked, autoconfig wasn't copyrighted.

Ross Vandegrift [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
 1) I noticed you've been pining the lists for EISA information.  I don't 
 know a whole lot about EISA systems or anything, but I do have a 486 EISA
 board and an EISA network card I'd be willing to send you if you wanted a
 system to play around with.  I don't use it anymore and it's just gathering
 dust in my basement.

Thanks for the offer, but the question I was after has been answered.

 2) It seems that searching is broken.

Got it, I think I've fixed this.
