Nope, I've downloaded the kernel from kernel.org (as I wrote).
... does this mean, that gentoo doesn't get the kernel version using
`uname -r`?????
$KV doesn't print anything (from a root shell) I don't have the time to
look through 10 scripts to see which shell scripts to script to get to
know which scripts to shell to set $KV.
Not long ago emerge -u messed up my fstab (what I realized in time) with
the unusable standard install fstab, messed up my strongly modified
modprobe.conf ...
Why the hick do you even try to overwrite configuration files which are
customized on EVERY machine????
I've never had more problems to install software than with Gentoo.
probably I'll switch to Debian.
