If you do test a kernel you build yourself, you may want to use "localmodconfig". Which will look at all the modules that are loaded on the local system and turn off the configs for modules that are not loaded. This will save a lot of time compiling the kernel. Especially if your basing off of a distro config. $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git $ cd linux $ cp /boot/config-[whatever your kernel is] .config $ yes '' | make localmodconfig Then build your kernel. $ make -j10 $ sudo make modules_install install > > (By the way, of course I meant that throughput *de*creases, not increases.) of course ;-) -- Steve
