I'd need it by Wednesday at the absolute latest and I don't know if ALL the options are necessary, though it'd be nice. I'd certainly settle for just the most common ones! Once it's generated the user's config file, it should then offer to build and then (optionally) install it, also giving the user helpful hints about booting with /kernel.old in case of trouble. Oh yes, it should also mention the `-c' flag as an alternative to configuring the kernel at all before you start.. Now that we have dset working, the -c changes are permanant and a definite alternative to compiling up a whole new kernel. Thanks! Jordan
