/ UNIX
Symbol: UNIX [=y]
Prompt: Unix domain sockets
Defined at net/unix/Kconfig:5
Depends on: NET
Location:
-> Networking
-> Networking support (NET [=y])
-> Networking options
Symbol: UNIXWARE_DISKSLICES ...
...
What would be more useful:
UNIX
Unix domain sockets
Networking > Networking Support > Networking options
UNIXWARE_DISKSLICES
Unixware slices support
File systems > Advanced ...
I.e. strip the Defined and Depends lines and crunch the Location lines inasfar
as that the full width of the window is used (break at col 70).
DEEP_FS
Just a symbol
File systems > Advanced filesystems > Very advanced filesystems >\n
Extremely advanced filesystems > Deep filesystem

At the moment, entering e.g. UNIX in both the / and \ menus return the very
same output. Bug?
The \ should include everything what the original / had, plus the symbol
description ("Say Y here if ....").
