I know that, and make oldconfig shows them one at a time, but an option to show only new items in the normal view would be nice. I wonder if xconfig does this, I haven't used it in a while. -- Neil Bothwick c:>Press Enter to Exit pgpAxWwb4NnIK.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Not the same, I know, and you have to go scanning for it, but at least it is there. -- Regards, Peter.

It's been that way as long as I've ben using it, menuconfig only displays items you can actually select in its tree listing. However, the search results return all matching options, and show what you need to enable to make an option available. > Menuconfig is an absolute mess and, is it too much to ask for > alphabetical order, and the less that I need to interact with it the > better. Have you tried xconfig? It is somewhat more user friendly. But, yes, and alpha listing would be nice, as would an option to show only new items. -- Neil Bothwick Windows - software package to turn a 486 into an Etch-A-Sketch! pgpB2BCku78DN.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

A little while back, I needed to enable something for my drive file systems. It wouldn't let me see it until like three or four other things were enabled. Thing is, when I would enable one and go look again, it would have added another one that had to be enabled. It is frustrating at times. I'd think there should be a better way but I'm not doing the coding. Maybe show all options and if others need to be enabled, a little popup letting you know that enabling that will also enable others. After all, if you have to have that driver, you'll have to enable those others whether you have to go dig for them or not. :/ I guess this is one of those, 'it's to late to do it better' things. It may require a complete rewrite to get it to work better and no one wants to step up and do all that coding. ;-) I know I don't, and can't. Glad you got it sorted out tho. Hard to have a GUI with no mouse nowadays. Dale :-) :-)
