Also, that only works if ppp is a module. What if it is compiled into |
| 9 |
the kernel? |

My suggestion is to agree with Henrik. We should have a warning |
| 12 |
instead, that first checks the kernel type (no point in making a stink |
| 13 |
on *BSD), then the config. If it isn't found, give some nasty beeps and |
| 14 |
a pause with a big fat warning, then continue. |

By the way, this breaks the current way we build a livecd. While we can |
| 17 |
move the ppp compile to after the kernel is configured, it means we need |
| 18 |
to move anything that relies on ppp also. This really is a PITA when it |
| 19 |
isn't necessary, as ppp compiles perfectly fine without a configured |
| 20 |
kernel, as witnessed by every release up unto and including 2005.1's |
| 21 |
release. |
