It's only when you want 1 kernel/disk image to move to rather diverse hardware -- which isn't something users generally do.
No, but it is something distributions do - the idea is to have one solution that fits all users. I dare you to build one kernel that will work for all openSUSE users, or even just you and me
You are going off into installation issues, which I am NOT talking about. I'm talking about post-installation -- steady state systems.
Then you are talking about forcing users to build their own kernels, that is great, do you have more ideas on how to kill linux? Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
