Right. This is what I'm asking for. Since there are only two options 
that prompt the user, I'm asking if there is a reason the user needs to 
be prompted.

I not, we can just remove the prompts and simplify the config.

If there is a valid reason to prompt the user, then we may need to add a 
menu, but I'd probably prefer we add the option in the platform menu, 
rather then generate a new driver menu.
