Bug#206616: modconf: too wide for 80-column console
Package: modconf
Version: 0.2.44
Severity: important
I just ran modconf from a virtual console, and was confused when
I saw all module paths start with "/drivers". Here's what it
looks like:
??????????????????????????????? Select Category ????????????????????????????????
Modules are loadable device drivers. Please go through the menus
for each category and look for devices, network protocols, filesystems,
etc. that you would like to have supported by your system. You should
not install modules for devices that aren't installed in your system,
as they will sometimes cause the system to pause for a long time while
it is searching for the device. Also, drivers for devices that you
don't have use memory that you could put to better use.
Please select the category of modules.
Finished. Return to previous menu.
/drivers/bluetooth .
/drivers/acpi .
/drivers/acpi/ospm/ac_adapter .
/drivers/acpi/ospm/battery .
/drivers/acpi/ospm/busmgr .
<Ok> <Cancel>

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
This may be also be a whiptail bug, or it may be due to the interaction
of whiptail and modconf.
