genkernel is pretty simple to use if you ask me. |
| 29 |
just |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
emerege genkernel |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
and then use |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
genkerenl --menuconfig all |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
it will do everything for you the same as in a regular kernel compiling. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
you have instructions on how to use genkernel on the handbook. |
