Doesn't address all the> issues I mentioned here, but it's a start. defconfig is a different thing - my idea (that I've dropped) was actually introducing new config options per board (and sub options for board features) which switch on all the neccessary things. The defconfigs are nice thing for starting off with some board, but they're basically examples, not production configurations. Yet another point why I've decided to cope all of this in a separate tool. --mtx -- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult Free software and Linux embedded engineering info@metux.net -- +49-151-27565287
