In conjunction with these two docs, i've now put together an overlay, |
| 18 |
with instructions, for people to use to test. All of this can be found |
| 19 |
at: |
| 20 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~latexer/files/koutput/ |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Download kmod-overlay.tar.bz2, unpack it to somewhere, and follow the |
| 23 |
instructions found there or in the README included in the tarball. |
| 24 |
There may be small buglets in a few of those that i haven't had time to |
| 25 |
give my full attention recently, but generally they should work fine. |
| 26 |
Thanks in advance for all those testing! |

I'm going to work on fleshing out config-kernel, so for now that part is |
| 29 |
needs to be done by hand (explained in the README) |
