i like the automagical reference to genkernel
the reason i chose it was because the first time i
compiled my own kernel, for whatever reason things
didn't work so I decided to start with the easy way
and later , once i'm more up to date with the whole
process, go ahead and compile it myself and choose
exactly what is to be compiled , etc. it's been hard
enough trying to get irssi emergerd, now that i have
that and lynx, i'm trying to emerge xorg-x11. second
try now so i';m hoping it'll finish. i'm having some
internet probs and i guess that's cuasing it to freeze
during the emerge.
