9 Nice thing about genkernel (and other such tools in other distributions)
10 is, that they also create an initrd. "Bad" thing is, that they compile
11 way too much (which only harms in so far, as it makes the time needed
12 for compiling stuff longer and makes /lib/modules bigger than it needs
13 to be).

15 I suppose the initrd is the driving factor for developing genkernel-like
16 tools.
