Re: custom kernel config

Hello! Related to that (somewhat :-)), it’d be great to have a kernel config specialized for VMs that can boot very quickly. The Kata Containers folks (it has the word “containers” in it but it’s really about VMs) pride themselves on having a kernel that boots in 600ms in KVM. Ludo’.

custom kernel config

I'm playing around with the idea of creating a custom kernel for my laptop and I started by following Gentoo's kernel config instructions. I'm including what I have currently. I want to create a kernel which is good for my laptop and takes less time to build than the standard kernel. By leaving the

Hi Laura, I have finished updating the transcripts and I am preparing to do the recordings tomorrow. One question about the makefile: am I right in thinking that the makefile automatically adjusts the duration of each slide according to the duration of the corresponding audio file? In other word
