genkernel is a program which automatically configures and builds a |
| 6 |
kernel for you. Its handy if you know nothing about the hardware you |
| 7 |
are building a kernel for. You'll do far better taking the 10 minutes |
| 8 |
to look at lspci, lsusb, etc & manually configure via menuconfig. |

Didn't even know it existed. I've always used menuconfig, even back when I was a Suse user. |

Judging from the current gentoo-sources patch list there not really |
| 15 |
much of a difference from the stock kernel. To use the untouched |
| 16 |
kernel.org sources just emerge vanilla-sources, then use 'eselect |
| 17 |
kernel' to modify the /usr/src/linux symlink (or do it manually). |

If I use eselect, will that set emerge to automatically use the switches to change my symlinks, etc, in the future like it does now with the gentoo kernel? |
