You do, for the same reason you need electricity; you may not use |
| 21 |
electricity directly, but something you use does. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Similarly, you may not need this config option, but something you use |
| 24 |
does (or something you use uses something you use which does). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Further, the config option won't be available unless all of the things |
| 27 |
_it_ uses are enabled. So, if this config option X isn't available |
| 28 |
because it needs config option Y, you need config option Y, because |
| 29 |
you need config option X, because you need udisks, because you need |
| 30 |
something which needs udisks. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So if some option X says "don't enable this unless you need it", and |
| 33 |
you need some option Z, which says it needs option X, then, yes, you |
| 34 |
need option X, because you need option Z. |

This is what Volker meant when he said that there was no 'unsure' at |
| 37 |
play. Since you're sure you want udisk (because you installed it), |
| 38 |
then, logically following, you're sure you want whatever udisk depends |
| 39 |
on. (Either that, or you're not being logical. ^^ ) |
