I must say, I'm not sure if I'd want to do it just to bring up the initial prompt, but if there were some process where I could insert my source CD and let it rebuild all the source packages optimized for my hardware, and rebuild the kernel optimized for my CPU and the hardware that I actually ha

How about compiling a kernel that is optimized for your CPU at install time. How many times does one change CPU types after installing linux on that machine. ie. AFAIK my Athlon machine is running the same kernel as my K6-2's, it sure would be nice if when I installed linux would either prompt o
