That means that a user must actually > decide on running a prekernel my main problem with this is that Gentoo for obvious reasons never unmerge a kernel. if ~x86 would yield a few kernels every week for someone who has both vanilla-sources and development-sources installed, well, that'll take _space_. first in DISTFILES, then as a package if one uses buildpkg and last under /usr/src. for most people, this will be two compressed and one unpacked piece of kernel source for each installed kernel. this would, if nothing else, make "emerge -U world" slightly annoying to deal with. -- Terje -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
