Subject: Dell firmware default config options?
Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 12:15:58 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0510071209140.8299@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <43469A9A.2070104@beezmo.com>


I'm just curious why the Dell firmware configuration options are default
to "m" instead of "n".  Since it only matters if you have a Dell System.

So for the huge number of systems that are not Dell Systems, they are
probably wasting CPU cycles compiling these as modules, and taking up
space in loads of /lib/modules directories throughout the world ;-)

DCDBAS explicitly states default of "m", and DELL_RBU has no default which
just makes it automatically on.

Is there any reason that these shouldn't be turned off by default?

Thanks,

-- Steve
