My question would be the opposite. Why emerge kernels you are not going |
| 21 |
to build anyway? The only kernels I have installed here are the ones I |
| 22 |
have emerged, built and installed for either current or future use. |
| 23 |
There is no reason to have sources for kernels that I know I will never |
| 24 |
use. The same could apply to others as well. |
