I think it's very convenient, I use it from within another script that |
| 29 |
mounts /boot, takes the current config, issues make oldconfig, calls |
| 30 |
genkernel, and in the end it rebuilds those packages that would break. |
| 31 |
It also add a bunch of lines in /etc/lilo.conf, call "lilo -v" and |
| 32 |
reports the exit error code. |

Even if I still think you assertions are quite vague (also speaking of |
| 35 |
the other post, the one about nvidia drivers), I guess the point |
| 36 |
is: "if you let genkernel do all the work it makes a lot of choices a |
| 37 |
user would never take, so for a Linux user it's better to know what |
| 38 |
kind of hardware is handling than rely blindly on a script". |

In this case I fully agree, having spent a couple of hours the first |
| 41 |
time(s) I configured the 2.6 kernel. |
