OK; continue making your changes to ebuild-pete. I'll need to think more |
9 |
about the best way to handle an interactive compile process. |

The way I upgrade to a new kernel is to first merge linux-sources. Then |
12 |
I cd to /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig and compile and install the |
13 |
kernel by hand. So for linux-sources, an interactive merge isn't needed. |

The "linux" ebuild contains the default pre-compiled kernel for Gentoo Linux. |
16 |
This kernel should be pre-configured by us to support the widest variety of |
17 |
hardware configurations possible. You shouldn't need an interactive compile |
18 |
mode for this kernel. |

I think we avoid this whole interactive compile problem if people who compile |
21 |
their own kernels simply use linux-sources instead. Which reminds me, I need |
22 |
to fix the install guide again :) I forgot to mention that the linux-sources |
23 |
need to be merged first. |
