I can highly recommend you let portage handle virtually everything. sys-kernel/mm-sources (I can't recommend mm patches now, after troubles I had) sys-kernel/development-sources Genkernel is a great tool, for years I've done kernels by hand, but 'genkernel - --config' gives you all the flexibility of doing the configuration by hand with the bonus of a good starting point, and it does all the installation for you. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/nDtLInuLMrk7bIwRAnk5AKCcYrIbZXcYNPWnfjkJ/9fF6KR6uwCfbtWL YMBXJ+AsTvpmLaCBotOAAvg= =rAwm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
