As it is currently done, Portage cannot track the kernel itself, only the |
| 10 |
kernel sources. Also, it leaves the kernel in /usr/src/linux when it isn't |
| 11 |
really needed once installed except perhaps to save configuration (which |
| 12 |
genkernel has stuff for) and object files to speed future compilations (which |
| 13 |
Portage should do if you keep /var/tmp/portage around anyway). |
| 14 |
It makes little sense to compile and install other packages but not compile |
| 15 |
and install Linux itself. |
