Firestorm ? Just comments. But maybe you were being humorous.
Actually, facetious ;-)
Anyway, thanks to help from here, I am now sitting at Chapter 8.3. Wondering
and debating a couple of things.
The debate is whether to change out the default Tux logo with one of mine
own, and what to use.
I would suggest that you first boot the system to make sure it
works. After that, play with the logo when you next update the
kernel (except on production servers, frequent kernel updates are
good IMHO but always carry a risk of breakage).
Also, on modern software the default Tux only appears briefly. On
my haswell i7 I see it for a few seconds during boots and during
resume from hibernation. On machines which need a lot of firmware
for the graphics (amdgpu, R600) I now put that firmware in
/lib/firmware for late-loading rather than waste RAM in the kernel.
But this means that I rarely see the logo.

I went ahead and just built it. It sort of booted with a Kernel panic.
It was easy to find out why. I had built it on a flash drive then tried
to boot it. There should be a section/caveat on the now popular option
of booting off a USB flash drives.
Thanks again!
