I'll need to think more about the best way to handle an interactive compile process. The way I upgrade to a new kernel is to first merge linux-sources. Then I cd to /usr/src/linux and make menuconfig and compile and install the kernel by hand. So for linux-sources, an interactive merge isn't needed. The "linux" ebuild contains the default pre-compiled kernel for Gentoo Linux. This kernel should be pre-configured by us to support the widest variety of hardware configurations possible. You shouldn't need an interactive compile mode for this kernel. I think we avoid this whole interactive compile problem if people who compile their own kernels simply use linux-sources instead. Which reminds me, I need to fix the install guide again :) I forgot to mention that the linux-sources need to be merged first. -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
