Hi Zack, |
6 |
|
7 |
The difference with the baselayout comes with baselayout-2.0.0, which is |
8 |
~masked right now. Basically, the init system gets reworked in that |
9 |
version. But, for now, if you are running the stable baselayout, just |
10 |
put the module in /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and you will be |
11 |
fine. |
12 |
|
13 |
No, you do not need to be running the latest kernel before you emerge |
14 |
speakup, just make sure that the /usr/src/linux symlink points to the |
15 |
latest version of the kernel. |
