That page describes an awful lot of shagging about in relation to

Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass. Nothing against gentoo, one day I may well give it a go when a garage session and a free weekend day coincide.

I'm very tempted to start from scratch with that installation and just never never ever update the kernel... until I have moved up the learning curve a little more so that all this module compiling makes a bit more sense than currently.
