Of course one does not _have_ to follow Torvalds, and one certainly does not have to say Yes to all kernel options. However, if you are going to save .config, I don't see any advantage in _not_ doing it as suggested by Torvalds (or his team). Personally, I think there are quite a few places where Fedora has opted to "go its own way" without as far as I can see any very good reason for this. Admittedly the same is true of other distributions. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
