Oh My Kernel: compiling the kernel: this is something that has succeeded
in average once every twenty five tries for me. So, these days, now that
I am old and wise, I don't try it any more. If I were a developer, one
thing I must have done: writing a nice cosy kernel-compile script in
python or something that itself would scan my /proc and everything that
is required, and do the xconfig for the kernel for me, and maybe, after
the config is done, as a gentlemanly gesture, ask me one or two humble
questions, after all I have bought the machine.
