Not at all, it's definitely worth knowing if "make menuconfig" has problems. I've noticed that the .config generated by menuconfig is different from the one made by xconfig. They seem functionally equivalent, but they are not textually identical. I always use xconfig unless I happen to be building on a remote machine in an ssh session, and it's never given me any problems. Craig
