I hope I get to tackle it soon. I learned last evening that *She-who-must-be-obeyed* has just volunteered me for a community function that may keep me fully occupied until next year. I don't think she understood just how all-consuming this was going to be, but we covered 300 miles today just to get an idea of the scope of the project. Now she's wishing she hadn't been so public-spirited on my behalf! Ha!

It is covered in the Alternatives section and is mentioned here and there throughout the document. It really looks like you've done a heck of a job on it, too. I had found your page before and had wanted to give the process a whirl. When I first heard about the updates I was really eager to try my tyro hand at this. Now I'm wondering just when I'll get the chance to nonchalantly drop comments about my latest kernel build amongst my fellow ancients at the community center. I hope it doesn't have to await my final plunge into retirement! I will most certainly let you know how it goes, when I do get around to it. I admire the spirit of people who work to provide how-to guides to help the uninitiated. I've tried to do the same in my so-called fields of expertise and found that teaching was a terrific way to attain a deeper understanding of the subject matter for myself.

Updated Kernel-building Web Page Available
Based on new stuff that I've learned over the last month and a half, much of which has been learned from Camaleón's recent thread about reducing kernel compilation time, I have published a revised version of my kernel-building web page http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm The top entry in the Maintenance Log section briefly summarizes the changes. If anyone finds any errors in it, I'd appreciate being notified. I am grateful for the many valuable tips that I've learned from others here on the debian-user mailing list. Together, we know it all! Note: if the top entry in the Maintenance Log section doesn't show a date of September 29, 2011, you're looking at an older cached version of the page. Reload the page (F5 in iceweasel) to see the most recent version of the page. -- .''`.
