I thought that the LINT file was only intended to yield a maximal set of sources, suitable for linting, and could not compile, because many of the options chosen for lint would be mutually exclusive. No one would ever, ever be intended to run a LINT kernel. If you added some off the wall option and wanted to (at least minimally) document it, the first place you'd stop would be to insert the option into LINT, with some appropriate comments. > > Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom > Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 > Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313 > > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
