Nice... a small question: how do you keep up with what gets installed? Do you ferret them out at /lib/modules with cmds like find . -name '*.ko' Or is there a log created at compile time.. or maybe create one like make modules_intall >mymod.log. Just thinking outload. Following a `genkernal all' I saw a very big list get installed but didn't think to log them. I guess it would be harmless to just run the `make modules_intall' part again and catch a list. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
