By tuning do you mean "make menuconfig" ? if so then that is not possible. The build system currently uses a monolithic makefile system. Though it is possible to compile source subtrees separately you cannot yet exclude pieces from a full build. > (2) is compiling as simple as in Linux ? Once you have the compiler, tools and sources downloaded setting up your build environment just takes 5 minutes. > (3) Are there any turorials for tuning and upgrading the OS to bleeding edge > kernel ? Yes. You need to use BFU.
