I've played a bit with sed to to generate i386 INSTALL and (jsut for
toying) INSTALL_LAPTOP kernel config files from the GENERIC kernel config
file. Right now we have no way to tell confiig(8) to include GENERIC and
then e.g. disable all eisa/pcmcia/whatever, would sed be a solution until
we get that?

The INSTALL file that I get automatically now looks sane at least, diffing
it against the in-tree INSTALL file shows that the latter could need some
updating. ;-)

The files I made are at http://www.feyrer.de/Misc/sedconf.tgz, extract in
your /sys/arch/i386/config dir and type:

	make -f Makefile.config

to generate both INSTALL and INSTALL_LAPTOP. 

What's people's opinion on this?
