xconfig doesn't turn on options that aren't there in menuconfig ... you just might be able to navigate xconfig's interface better. Any time you can't see how to enable a kernel option, just search for it and look at the Selected By field to see what you need to turn it on: Symbol: ZLIB_DEFLATE [=y] Type : tristate Defined at lib/Kconfig:198 Selected by: PPP_DEFLATE [=n] && NETDEVICES [=y] && PPP [=n] || BTRFS_FS [=n] && BLOCK [=y] || JFFS2_ZLIB [=n] && MISC_FILESYSTEMS [=y] && JFFS2_FS [=n] || LOGFS [=n] && MISC_FILESYSTEMS [=y] && (MTD [=n] || BLOCK [=y] My personal preference is nconfig ... easy to navigate, nice colors on black bgd. -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ supp...@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
