genkernel is a program which automatically configures and builds a
kernel for you.  Its handy if you know nothing about the hardware you
are building a kernel for.  You'll do far better taking the 10 minutes
to look at lspci, lsusb, etc & manually configure via menuconfig.


Didn't even know it existed. I've always used menuconfig, even back when I was a Suse user.


Judging from the current gentoo-sources patch list there not really
much of a difference from the stock kernel.  To use the untouched
kernel.org sources just emerge vanilla-sources, then use 'eselect
kernel' to modify the /usr/src/linux symlink (or do it manually).


If I use eselect, will that set emerge to automatically use the switches to change my symlinks, etc, in the future like it does now with the gentoo kernel?
