Then things like random can be included here, and it allows the adventurous to use nodevice and nooption to disable... This has the added benifit that other options that are now "standard" could be made optional with a bit of work, and those that try to reduce the kernel config could impore their changes for others w/o breaking things for the rest of us... Thoughts on this? -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
