Ah, gotcha. [ … ]
But this still doesn't solve Linus's initial request. That would be a single option that makes your distro boot, and work well. Again, that option wont have the drivers needed, but it will enable all the core infrastructure that you need.
Oh I'm being additive here. You'll have feature profiles for the stuff we talk above and distro profiles which solve Linus' issue. Basically one coarse-grained config option will either select a feature which has a lot of small subfeatures of which some are sane and want to be enabled by default when selecting the topfeature. Or a distro-specific feature which could itself select other topfeatures. I haven't tried this in reality to actually be able to say that a tree-like configure approach would actually make sense and work. It sounds like a nice idea though, especially having the hierarchical structure. :) -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
