For fun and profit: after spotting the words and in a build config help text I had to check how often the sources still refer to them…

@kernellogger OMG blast from the past! Your mention of LILO and loadlin took me back to 1993 when I started using Linux.

@kernellogger afaik slackware still uses lilo in the default install ;-)

@kernellogger LILO - all I remember after some mistake in my lilo.conf is a bootscreen full of 010101010101010... that required a live-system to recover from, since there was no interactive LILO shell.

@lkundrak you might be right - it's a long time ago and my memory is weak ☺️
@kernellogger

@lkundrak @ptesarik @kernellogger @vbabka christ don't even talk to me about that shit

Any arch that doesn't set CONFIG_MMU can set CONFIG_SELF_IMMOLATE_AND_DISAPPEAR also

@ljs @kernellogger @lkundrak @vbabka And I was hoping to port Linux to MOS 6502 on day when I retire. Now, all hope is gone.

@ljs @kernellogger @lkundrak @vbabka I'd rather set CONFIG_SELF_IMMOLATE_AND_DISAPPEAR on myself in that case.

@ptesarik @kernellogger @lkundrak @vbabka your dedication is both sweet and deeply concerning

I hope I can convert this into beer somehow
