ohhh... My first reaction was to say "since when has Gentoo been about |
| 11 |
dumbing down the options just to suit the ...er unenlightened?" Then I |
| 12 |
thought "How crazy could you be not to _read_ what you're doing when |
| 13 |
upgrading your kernel?" Of all things to upgrade this one would be |
| 14 |
vaguely important! I closely read the output from make oldconfig, and |
| 15 |
I've avoided all of these problems. Oh well, I'll continue to tinker |
| 16 |
and break things - that's how I enjoy learning, but I guess it makes |
| 17 |
sense to keep the upgrade guide as it is... |
