I didn't know about those. Remember that those are 'seeds'... So, after familiarizing yourself, you *are* expected to experiment until you have *your* system. Happy hackin'! :-) Rgds, --

Is it a legacy thing, a way to force users into reading documentation and becoming more self sufficient, or are we just trying to stay true to the upstream developers? Maybe something else? I'm not completely sure, but I believe it's just the config that comes from upstream. For Gentoo users who want a kernel automagically configured, there's genkernel. Welcome to Gentoo! Have fun! :)
