=46ranck,

what if we move this functionality to a script in ./tools?

Or we can come up with a compromise along the lines of:
1) have an extra .config.extra (included in .cvsignore)
2) make.sh will silently check if .config.extra exists and execute it

The idea is that your PXE and WWW vars are not likely to change between run=
s=20
of make.sh.  So why prompt for them every time?  You can save them in a fil=
e=20
and forget about them.

This way anyone can put whatever he wants in that extra config file without=
=20
everyone else having to answer questions in the build.
