True, I did go a little off base. I did try genkernel once a long time |
| 29 |
ago. It included things for hardware I didn't have then omitted the |
| 30 |
driver for my IDE chipset, did include that slow as crap generic tho. |
| 31 |
Anyway, to me, genkernel is a waste of time. This is Gentoo, we want |
| 32 |
only what we need and not one bit more. |
