Rubbish, perpeptuating the myth that compiling kernels is some black art.. Very few configuration options cause problems, and these are well documented. Patching a kernel takes less than a minute, and even after pulling a kernel config from an earlier version, building a kernel package takes thirty minutes or so (for a single flavour). A bash script to automate the task is only a couple of lines, maybe six if you are uploading to a "proper" Debian repository. > that I don't really consider building new versions unless there > are really serious updates/problems.

Four i386 flavours along with associated header and support packages, 30 seconds to trigger the build script. A couple of hours of CPU time, job done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
