Also, that only works if ppp is a module. What if it is compiled into the kernel? My suggestion is to agree with Henrik. We should have a warning instead, that first checks the kernel type (no point in making a stink on *BSD), then the config. If it isn't found, give some nasty beeps and a pause with a big fat warning, then continue. By the way, this breaks the current way we build a livecd. While we can move the ppp compile to after the kernel is configured, it means we need to move anything that relies on ppp also. This really is a PITA when it isn't necessary, as ppp compiles perfectly fine without a configured kernel, as witnessed by every release up unto and including 2005.1's release. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead Games - Developer Gentoo Linux
