Well, to begin with, emerge any of the kernel just extracts the sources. None of them are SUPPOSED to automatically compile it (this is due to the fact the the kernel usually needs a lot of configuration). Emerging alsa is normal, although I've never had to remerge any of the nvidia stuff. (I believe you used to have to do that, but newer versions don't. IIRC it has to do with placement of the modules.) Now, the easiest way to set it up to do all that and a bag of chips is to write a bash script. Other than that, there's no current standard method. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
