Well... it is a breeze... But having everything running perfectly isn't always
as easy or guarenteed.
What your friend has done to you is called, "dumping". He/she dumps on you in
order to make him/her self fell better, more superior. It usually comes from
people that are weak in th ego and limp in the libido. Not a real good friend
in my book. If his/her installation was so easy and perfect then they should
know the answer to your problems, right? They haven't a clue...
The fact is, the 2.6.0 kernel source is beta. That means that there's going to
be problems with using it on some machines. In fact, the kernel website
doesn't even guarentee it to even compile.

If you find an answer, post it here. I'm sure to welcome the message.
My reason for going to the mm-sources in 2.6.0, is that it is more full
featured. It had crypto-loop and synaptic support built/patched into the
kernel sources for me... no extra steps involved and a lot less head ache.
The later version of the vanilla 2.6.0 source, test 11 for instance, support
synaptic touch pads percfectly, thus for me I don't really need the
mm-sources anymore. But it woild be interesting if I could use them.
