Subject: miss-leading help in configuration options
Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 21:08:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <502AA240.8050403@googlemail.com> (raw)

I was configuring a kernel build and stumbled across some options, which
default to [n], but the help says "If unsure, say Y".
Also the other way round defaulting to [y],
but the help saying "If unsure, say N".

So now I am really unsure, what to pick.
Here is a list of options, which I found with a script to have such
unsure help:
