No, I was tempted to try genkernel, but again, OCD got the best of me; I |
| 29 |
like Gentoo because I tell it what I want and need, and it does that and |
| 30 |
nothing else. Genkernel, in my understand, does everything (and |
| 31 |
apparently does it pretty well), but it means that it's bigger than it |
| 32 |
needs to be. Plus, I hadn't gotten a reply back in a while, and I'm |
| 33 |
limited on time with this laptop, so I went back to that which I know |
| 34 |
better. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
And I thought the Live CD used genkernel; I thought that was where |
| 37 |
genkernel came from in the first place? Is it different? |
