Hello, Sorry this isn't really SuSE-specific but I don't have a more convenient place to ask right now. At least I'm running it on SuSE :-D When working on a new kernel to compile, is it safe to fiddle around with make menuconfig and exit, and come back to it later? It would seem like it should be perfectly fine, and certainly when I 'come back later' all my changes seem to still be there, but who knows.... Additionally: for those who compile their own 'vanilla' kernels, I'm curious to know: 1. What your favorite patches are to render your system more useable under normal conditions (I'm not talking about bleeding edge things, but rather things like RieserFS); and 2. What modules you usually have to enable that aren't enabled by default. I turned on some things related to parallel port and USB that looked like they should be on for an average workstation. ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com
