Yes, my "binary" was to be intended as "binary" ;-) |
| 21 |
Joking a part, yes, I'd like to make a package with vmlinuz and modules in it. |
| 22 |
If I understood well, that's impossible, at least as standard operation because |
| 23 |
there are no such gentoo package and so it can't be built from the installed |
| 24 |
ones and the portagee ebuilds scripts. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
In gentoo the kernel has to be compiled. |
