So it's totally simple to do it right. The only nuisance is that you always have to update B's dependencies and selections whenever A's dependencies are changed. Furthermore: If you are worried that people don't figure out how to switch on support for board XYZ because it has several dependencies which may hide CONFIG_XYZ, there is a very simple trick. comment "XYZ cards need ABC" depends on ABC=n config XYZ tristate "XYZ cards" depends on ABC This way you avoid "select ABC", but still see how to get XYZ support while ABC is off. See for example drivers/ieee1394/Kconfig for an application of this comment trick. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- -=-= --==- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ --
