I've been looking for documentation on genkernel 3.0.1_beta9 and not 
having a lot of luck. What I want to do is build 2.6.1-gentoo. 
From /usr/src, I did:

ln -sf linux-2.6.1-gentoo linux && cd linux

Then:

# genkernel -- menuconfig --install all
GenKernel v3.0.1_beta9
* ARCH: x86
* KERNEL VER: 2.4.20-gentoo-r7
* kernel: configuring source
* kernel: running mrproper
* kernel: using config from /usr/share/genkernel/x86/kernel-config-2.4 
-- prev backed up to .config.bak
* kernel: running oldconfig
* kernel: running clean
* kernel: Making dependencies for linux 2.4.20-gentoo-r7

at which point I freaked and killed it. I want to keep my current 
2.4.20-r7 kernel and play with 2.6.1 and the last line above made me 
think that I was somehow rebuilding my running kernel. I've been 
using Gentoo for just over a year now but kernel builds still scare 
me. First I need some assurance and second, If someone can point me 
to relevant Doc's I'd apreciate it. (the install option, begs at 
least a discription of what it will install and what it might 
overwrite)
