No, because new options should be put in LINT and maybe in options[.i386] so that they get used (at least at compile time), so LINT is the right place to look for all new options - if they aren't there, then the code controlled by them probably doesn't even compile :-). It's convenient to document new flags there, so that there is only one place to look for new things related to kernel configuration. >By the way, where can I find information on the "kernel.config" file >syntax? It's the same as userconfig command line syntax (where is that documented? :-), except the file must begin with the keyword USERCONFIG. The file normally ends qith `q' to quit userconfig. Option USERCONFIG_BOOT and the normal USEERCONFIG option must be configured for kernel.config to work. Misfeature: USERCONFIG_BOOT together with kernel.config starting and ending as above stops booting with -c from working. The config file is preferred and there is no way to switc to interactive mode.
