Description mjmac 2000-12-06 10:20:00 UTC

Could you please add in the FAQ that you will need to recompile the kernel
somewhere in the section of the FAQ below.

I assumed wrongly that this option was like kernel boot time option and went
around half arsed looking for it. :).

Thanks for reading this email.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

If you modify the kernel config file you have to recompile the kernel. 
Assuming you've read the docuemntation on compiling a kernel, this should be 
rather obvious.
