Interesting, but this would require manually updating the patch every |
| 8 |
time, right? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Or could the 'patch' be configured to automatically pull the right |
| 11 |
version (compatible with the kernel being installed) every time? That |
| 12 |
would not be such a bad thing... but if not... well... |
| 13 |

Computers excel at automating things. People excel at breaking things, |
| 15 |
and I'd like this to be automated as much as possible. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
That said, I've never applied patches in this manner, so, is there an up |
| 18 |
to date how-to on how to do this? It might be something I can get |
| 19 |
comfortable with unless/until an automated process is implemented. |

There is for those who *do not want modules enabled on their servers*. |

Why is it so hard for some people to just not get that their way is not |
| 30 |
the only way. |

Again, Joerg... please *stop arguing* about this point, it has *nothing* |
| 33 |
to do with the thread. |

Ok, I left out two words: '... I know ... ' - and the fact is, most |
| 44 |
everyone I know (over a dozen) who runs linux servers (not just gentoo) |
| 45 |
runs them with modules disabled, and I've seen countless others say the |
| 46 |
same thing over the years... |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
The fact is, *many* people do this, and if it trivial to implement it in |
| 49 |
gentoo (which appears it is), then why not do so? |
