If I'm going to do that I like to make it permanent. genkernel is a program which automatically configures and builds a kernel for you. Its handy if you know nothing about the hardware you are building a kernel for. You'll do far better taking the 10 minutes to look at lspci, lsusb, etc & manually configure via menuconfig.
Didn't even know it existed. I've always used menuconfig, even back when I was a Suse user. Judging from the current gentoo-sources patch list there not really much of a difference from the stock kernel. To use the untouched kernel.org sources just emerge vanilla-sources, then use 'eselect kernel' to modify the /usr/src/linux symlink (or do it manually). If I use eselect, will that set emerge to automatically use the switches to change my symlinks, etc, in the future like it does now with the gentoo kernel?
