We can use this work elsewhere. Create 'sane defaults' for the kernel .config ... selecting which nic, framebuffer, DRI, apic, mtrr, etc ... ANYTHING that can be detected. As a part of the installer, have a 'wizard' that walks one through the kernel configure/compile itself maybe? ===== --- "To thine own self be true." - Shakespeare __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
