I noticed yesterday gentoo-sources-2.6.29 was released, and was wondering if
it's required that the kernel be upgraded (I'm currently running 2.6.28. I
did download the sources (Should I have done that?), but in the event it's
not mandatory or anything to upgrade the kernel I'd really like to not have
to recompile the thing. Related, however, if I do recompile it and decide to
do so with genkernel, will it respect the settings I've compiled into 2.6.28
or will they need to be reset again before 2.6.29 is compiled? thanks for
any information on the subject.
