Know how to do that... |

I don't see a file called "menuconfig" in here. Will this work? All |
| 15 |
I see (that looks relevant) is Makefile, include/ and kernel/ |

No clue whatsoever how to do that. I've never built a kernel before, |
| 20 |
not on Debian, not on Red Hat, not on anything. |

What'll that do? Make and make modules_install? I don't see anything |
| 25 |
called "modules_install" either. |

I think mine is a i686... I think I should say that I did just take |
| 32 |
the kernel off the live CD... I wasn't brave enough (at the time) to |
| 33 |
build a kernel. |

I use grup. |

Did so. However, the Battery Monitor for KDE still tells me to |
| 56 |
rebuild my kernel with this ACPI enabled, most specifically "AC |
| 57 |
Adaptor" and "Control Method Battery," though if it'll support more |
| 58 |
then I'd certainly love to do that. |

I've been using Debian (Debian and Kubuntu) for the past 5 months or |
| 71 |
so to build my skills to the point that I can squeak through Gentoo |
| 72 |
with only minor injuries : ) I'm also in that odd area of learning |
| 73 |
C++ where I'm not ultra-good, but I'm not clueless, either : ) So |
| 74 |
eventually I'll be attempting to interrogate all of you about these |
| 75 |
fascinating bash scripts. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Even so, I'm really loving Gentoo.... it leaves a smaller memory |
| 78 |
footprint than even Debian! Coming from ten years of Windows use, |
| 79 |
that's like... going to heaven without having to die, really. |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
Thanks for your help. I'll try and see if I can get this to work the easy way. |
| 82 |
|
| 83 |
Also, emerge now tells me that I have 19 config files in /etc to be |
| 84 |
updated. How would I go about doing that? emerge --help config |
| 85 |
confused me more than anything else (that was what emerge reccommended |
| 86 |
I do). |
