That's one approach. In some ways it is the easiest, especially if you |
| 8 |
already have a script that deals with copying the config, running |
| 9 |
make oldconfig and mounting /boot to avoid forgetting this later. The |
| 10 |
route I chose was to emerge the kernel sources first when they show up in |
| 11 |
emerge -u world. Then compile and install the new kernel before rebooting |
| 12 |
and running emerge world again. Thinking about it, removing the symlink |
| 13 |
USE flag may be easier. |
