Hi Collins,

I updated the kernel packages yesterday, you can now use
linux-sources-2.4.4.9

If you want the default configuration copy
/usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-sources/files/2.4.4-ac9/config.bootcomp to
/usr/src/linux/.config before you run make {x,menu}config.

This kernel package uses the following USE variables for extras "lvm
lm_sensors pcmcia-cs alsa".
Add the ones you want top the USE variable in /etc/make.conf.

After you have build the kernel you can build the extras modules and
utilities by installing

linux-extras-2.4.4.9.ebuild.
