Re: [gentoo-user] kergen package

kergen can be emerged.  A search for gentoo post-install uncovered a web
page on which it was mentioned.
Depending on command line options chosen you could build a kernel with
kergen but I don't know if it would be accessible once built.  The
package doesn't appear to take into account gentoo boot parameters if
gentoo stores those parameters in any variable.

There are two main ways to generat4e a kernel, genkernel or do the
steps manually.  I never heard of kergen.  Genkernel is controlled by
a .conf file, see the manpage for details.

[gentoo-user] kergen package

2020-11-06 Thread Jude DaShiell
It appears helpful in adding options to my .config file.  However once
options are added, it's very difficult to enable espeak.  So is my order
of operations in which kergen gets run first followed by make menuconfig
wrong?  If so I can reverse and see if that works better.  Another
possibility is for those would-be screen reader installers kergen should
not be used at all.
