I have used Linux for about 9+ years. I have built several kernels. The install process has gotten quite a bit better. The config menus are great!
I just downloaded and am setting up the 2.6.22 kernel. I joined this list to ask a specific question: Would it be possible to design a program to scan your existing system hardware and pre-select your onboard hardware options within the kernel config menus? I am building this particular kernel on a laptop and am not likely to be adding new hardware anytime soon! The only flaw I can find is in add-on peripherals. I guess you'd want some way for the kernel to anticipate & build in "useability" for common hardware plugins. Am I just crazy, or wouldn't this idea mke a lot of sense? Wouldn't it pretty much make the kernel "idiot proof" when installing from source? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
