Re: [gentoo-user] win4lin

I'd just get vanilla or even better emerge gentoo-sources 2.6.11? and then go 
to the w4l site and get teh patches for that kernel, the patching is pretty 
simple and described there pretty well, then just build yourself a new kernel 
with the patches and go to town..

(I'd go to the kernel building howto's, and don't use genkernel. make 
oldconfig, and make menuconfig is your freind after the patching, I have no 
success with 2.6.12 yet tho), 
Try www.pickledonion.net for more info too.
