I couldn't be bothered installing qt on my rapidly shrinking harddrive. I've settled for make menuconfig. Its not too bad, only thing is I don't think there is a [next] button, you have to enter and exit submenus manually, so you have to pay attention not to miss things. But otherwise its quite good. From memory I needed to install libncurses5-dev before make menuconfig would compile. I've just seen Jeffs mail, so I'll give gconfig a try if it doesn't want to install too much dev packages. 2.6 is really nice on my laptop, but there was a few tweaks needed (ie reading Documentation/Changes is well worth while), ie the touchpad is handled differently, but now that its working its so much better than before. two finger taps on touchpad for middle click, three finger taps for right click, right side of touchpad is a scroll area, etc. It feels faster than 2.4 (I was running basically official 2.4 kernels, so no preempt, etc). But then it trashed my file system, burn out my LCD, told mum she was fat, I'm not happy :) (Its actually been very stable for me, still working on a few acpi issues, but otherwise no major problems.) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
