IMHO, providing options info is important during the install. How am
I supposed to read the kernel source without loading up my ethernet
module and fire up dpkg-ftp? It is not just about ethernet modules.
It's slightly surprising that there doesn't seem to be a document
listing all the module options and syntaxes, considering that modules
are used by many nowadays.

Yep, that fixed it. Thanks. Isn't it better to compile serial in the
default kernel?

No, texbin doesn't configure.

Anyone has any ideas? Emacs (and other binaries) finds the X
libraries but not mf. I have purged and re-installed texbin and mfbin
but to no avail. texbin and mfbin doesn't seem to have changed since
buzz. I am stuck!
