Re: how to edit the kernel....make menuconfig???



Well, OK.. I  guess *somebody* has to patch the kernels,  so it may as
well be the people who "sell" them, i.e. distribution "vendors" like
Debian and RedHat..  as long as the patches  aren't forking the kernel
source tree, official or effective, I'm happy -
