Hi, Ive been playing with my kernel options and trying out a few 
different kernels, and Ive got a few small ideas.

first of all, there are a few packages that need to be re-emerged when 
you compile a new kernel (ie nvidia-kernel and emu10k1)

it would be nice to have a way to be able to run something like
emerge new-kernel
after compiling a new kernel. this could be done with an ebuilkd 
variable that registers an ebuild as being dependant on the kernel?

the other thing is that if I am using two different kernels, only one 
can have external packages (like nvidia-kernel and emu10k1) because they 
get cleaned out. I dont know how this would be possible, but It would be 
nice to implement something like SLOT (only different because its the 
same ebuild) that would allow you to have two versions of the same 
ebuild installed.

oh, and by the way, I just niticed that if you emerge a different 
*-sources, your .config gets copied over. That rocks.


Thanks for your time,

-AMIel
