I know that changing the format of GENERIC is a potential bikeshed issue, but it would be nice if GENERIC wasn't _quite_ as crufty as it is... (There's a couple of places where options are listed in really odd orders... :-) BTW: it would be nice if mergemaster reviewed differences in GENERIC and the NOTES files also... Regards, Quincey
