Last hackathon someone changed the kernel to /bsd.my_very_special_kernel in boot.conf. I spent a few hours testing my kernels on that machine and not understanding why the hell my changes didn't do anything. Don't change settings and options unless you really have to. Because when you get used to the changes and for some reason need to change environment you'll get surprised and will make mistakes. The whole "don't fiddle with options" concept is not just to make people run GENERIC. It's everything between not compiling your own kernel to not change the color settings in your window manager (of course, I find the default fvwm settings awful and change them <- hypocrite). //art
