<p>The new "delete-old" and "delete-old-libs" target in /usr/src for 6.1 and
-current should be extended to support the NO_* knobs, e.g. NO_RESCUE or
NO_CRYPT, and delete files which are covered by those knobs.</p>
-current should be extended to support the WITHOUT_* knobs, e.g. WITHOUT_RESCUE or
WITHOUT_CRYPT, and delete files which are covered by those knobs. Some
switches have already been <a

You can view a list of all switches and what effect they have <a
