Hi Folks
Nearing the end of my journey now (Gentoo to Debian migration.) Setting
up VMware Workstation from the official distribution (this is the
commercial one that I use) requires me to re-build the kernel so that it
and the VMware modules are compiled with the same version of gcc.
I derived the .config for the kernel I am building from /proc/config.gz
This is a HUGE build, taking forever. May sound like a daft question,
but is the ease-of-use of the stock kernel due to the fact that drivers
for EVERYTHING are built as modules?
Not used to distros that just work - especially with odd wireless
drivers - so forgive me if I sound a little stunned!
Cheers
M
