Please, why did you take this so personal? I didn't mean to criticize you by 
any means!

Manual installation allows newbies to forget to copy/setup some stuff (as 
system.map in our case) and this tends to end up with an unbootable or 
incomplete system.

In my case I don't do anything "make install" doesn't do, hence prefer to use 
the automatic install. On the other hand - I've never used genkernel stuff 
and prefer to configure kernel by hand. So manual config, automatic install 
is my way.

[OT] Yesterday I managed to finally compile OpenOffice on my AMD64. Boy, 
that's the speed improvement! For successful compilation I just needed the 
"JAVA_PKG_FORCE_VM=blackdown-jdk-1.4.2" trick.
