because it is plain boring to just use GENERIC. fiddling with your kernel, you can waste a lot of time to get it to compile, then brag about that over beer with your friends, and while they keep drinking your pager alerts you back because your kernel crashed, since you also like to play with compiler "optimization" levels. While you are allowed to play more iwth your kernel, your friends just sit somewhere and drink, what a choice. After a while you don't have friends any more, but a custom kernel that boots 3 seconds faster than GENERIC and is stable for some time. Certainly worth it. -- Henning Brauer, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] BS Web Services, http://bsws.de Full-Service ISP - Secure Hosting, Mail and DNS Services Dedicated Servers, Rootservers, Application Hosting - Hamburg & Amsterdam
