Re: [Devil-linux-develop] Setup script.

[Heiko Z. <hz...@pr...>]

Hey,

I took a quick look yesterday and the first thing I noticed is that we =
need
a help system.

Doesn't need to be much and you can "steel" it from "make menuconfig",
which is stolen from the Linux kernel  config. ;-)
I think it would be best to just show this help (only a brief explanati=
on)
above the parameter before the user enters something.

I didn't like that the user has to enter yes or no, I would suggest tha=
t
you let him switch between those values with i.e. SPACE .

OK have to go back to work now....

cya
