Because, I have some people that use use these boxes in "headless mode" for LAMP servers, Asterisk servers, etc. So I want to keep all the vga stuff togethor and an "option" making their boot time as fast as possible. And I think it was Ron that once said that most options should always be set in targets Config.lb. Should I update the abuild Config.lb to reflect my normal Config.lb?
What's the normal usage?
If the most common usage is the headless stuff then it should default 0.
This is always a judgement call. One thing to note: if if has been 0, and you change it 1, you are going to have to tell any users of headless that they need to make new target with this set to 0.
How will the unconditional inclusion of the vga.o (from the other thread) affect headless users? It still seems to me that it would be easy to say if CONFIG_CONSOLE_VGA object vga.o end
to cover that case.
