I do not know if it is currently true, but it has in the past been the case that (e.g.) option Q depends on device F which depends on device B; while the relationship between Q and F is documented in the config file, the one between F and B is not. The easy targets are disk(/RAID) drivers and network cards. After that? Stay alert; trust no-one; keep your un-delete key handy. Respectfully, Robert Huff
