Hi list. |
2 |

I've been using Gentoo for quite a long time, and today I decided to try |
4 |
compiling the kernel myself, Thing I've never done before. I want a smaller |
5 |
kernel, a faster boot (without initramfs) and, of course, some fun :). |
6 |
|
7 |
I'm still reading the oficial documentation, but I don't think it will be |
8 |
enough, so, if anyone of you know some documentation more detailed, I'd |
9 |
appreciate reading it. |

I've just ran 'make xconfig', and I noticed that the configuration is the |
12 |
same from genkernel (genkernel --menuconfig). Is it good? Should I get an |
13 |
original .conf, with less garbage, or this is just the 'normal default' |
14 |
instead of 'genkernel default' as I'm guessing? |
15 |
|
16 |
Is there any tool that can scan my pc and help me out with the .conf or |
17 |
even generate one? I guess not. There are lots of options that I have no |
18 |
idea what they are for. I think this will be the fun part, but I think I |
19 |
can't get a running kernel before I optimize it, so I can do it gradually. |

Just for curiosity, what is the size of your kernel? Mine is 3.4 MB. |

Thank you, |
