True, I did go a little off base. I did try genkernel once a long time ago. It included things for hardware I didn't have then omitted the driver for my IDE chipset, did include that slow as crap generic tho. Anyway, to me, genkernel is a waste of time. This is Gentoo, we want only what we need and not one bit more. Dale :-) :-)
