That's not the confusing part, though this label could, perhaps, be made more clear by saying "Minimum supported target kernel version" to make clear it's the target that's being talked about. The more confusing issue IMO is one level below that one, where it says: Let ./configure decide Same as kernel headers (default) Specific kernel version None of these three options imply that support for all kernels is provided. For the first one, the Help doesn't say, btw, *how* configure makes that decision. The label "Let ./configure decide" did not make me look in the Help to learn that this provides support for all kernels. Perhaps change to "Support all compatible kernels" or something like that? The third option "Specific kernel version" makes it sound as though only this version is supported. Perhaps change to: "Choose minimum target kernel version"? - Godmar -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
