How big is the kernel source? I have a feeling it would take a while to get a
kernel on my slow, unreliable connection. I live in a rural area with poor
lines and access. I don't think downloading the entire kernel source would be
the easiest for me... tho I guess with wget I'd get it eventually (after a
few dropouts :-)
And I understand where you are coming from, but it still seems that you have
to make compromises, or at least go to a bit of trouble, if you want to use
win4lin. To sell a product and make money, a company needs to minimize the
downsides and try to take notice of the sorts of things that make people
unhappy with the product.
IMO
(unless you are microsoft, it seems)
