It found MOST of the dependencies, but not all, and it was still easy to confuse it and get a bogus kernel made. I finally got sick of the bug reports from people who really just had bad kernels and I made config much more aggressive. If somebody wants to really go track down all the dependencies and make sure that they're being generated properly, I'll consider taking this back out again! Jordan
