Two small notes: 1. I'm not sure what to do with "maxusers n". It's not part of GENERIC in 5.4. 2. I really hate the current structure of section 8.4. It's confusing, since it mentions mandatory options first, followed by "optional" things. I would like to restructure it and sort all options in proper order, as they appear in GENERIC. A new user should be able to compare his version of GENERIC, line by line, with the examples in the kernel configuration chapter, without jumping up and down in the text. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: --- kernconf.diff begins here --- Index: chapter.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig/chapter.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.154 diff -u -r1.154 chapter.sgml --- chapter.sgml 13 Feb 2005 10:24:08 -0000 1.154 +++ chapter.sgml 6 Mar 2005 11:25:17 -0000 @@ -724,6 +724,18 @@ This is the basic hard drive file system.
