God, I hate dicking with the kernel.
What would be nice is a really well-thought out Wizard that just tells me what to do. My process for answering the questions is pretty formulaic: favor modern features over archaic ones, favor simplicity, and don't use every feature under the sun.
I am pulled in opposite directions when I have to get a new kernel:
a. I just cannot see having every module under the sun (?). So I want to have just what is necessary.
b. But I want it working well, and complete, for my particular installation. E.g. just a few months ago I found out about VIA82CXXX chipset support on 2.4.22: it solved a very bad hang situation on my HDD's I had for 2 years!
So I second that thought:
WHAT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IS... a kernel wizzard: telling me what I need and what I can do without.
I got 2.4.22 working well now. Dread the thought of facing 2.4.23...
Hugo.
