2012-01-24 Thread András Csányi
Dear All, I would like to ask what should I do in this case? I would like to make a new kernel using genkernel but there is no 1.8.1 version of busybox and it's not available in portage. To be honest I don't want to do a new kernel by hand despite the fact it would be a few commands. Thanks for
