That's one approach. In some ways it is the easiest, especially if you already have a script that deals with copying the config, running make oldconfig and mounting /boot to avoid forgetting this later. The route I chose was to emerge the kernel sources first when they show up in emerge -u world. Then compile and install the new kernel before rebooting and running emerge world again. Thinking about it, removing the symlink USE flag may be easier. -- Neil Bothwick Bus: (n.) a connector you plug money into, something like a slot machine.
