Yah, it would. CONFIG_M686 is now too general - unless we want CONFIG_M686 _and_ a specific arch, like CONFIG_MPII. Then we can check just the general case (M686) or the specific chip (MPII) as needed. Also, CONFIG_MPPRO is easier on the eyes :) > Only drawback is that people (ie - distros) could not just copy their old > .config and build... They should `make oldconfig' anyhow... Robert Love
