It seems that interrupted > miniconfig.sh leaves .config in close to empty state... That's why it insists you rename it in order to run it. I intend to fix that somewhat in a newer version of the sucker by having the script intercept signals and restore .config on the way out, but it can't be fully reliable (not against kill -9) because kconfig overwrites .config and the script is repeatedly running allnoconfig. (I can probably bypass the makefile and feed it some strange command line argument, but what Kconfig to run it on gets us into architecture dependence issues the make file handles for us...) > I'm not sure what I did wrong last time, it worked this time. My > miniconfig is 6K instead of 46K, good. Still its quite long. Thanks! You mentioned you set a lot of options. :) I agree scripts/miniconfig.sh is clumsy. I'm thinking about improvements (both to how it works and to the user interface), but I need to catch up on some other stuff first... > Pavel Rob -- Steve Ballmer: Innovation!
