When you update X or nvidia drivers, do you need to kill X before running emerge? I usually dread kernel updates because then I have to go through kernel menuconfig all over again, and for me, that takes some time. I guess one can reuse the old .config file, but I understand it's not always a safe thing to do. Is it reasonably ok to wait for every "major" 2.6.x release to update, or is it necessary to update on every minor 2.6.x.y release also? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
