Dear all,
I'm in the process of fiddling around with the config of my kernel. This means using the "menu config thingy" that "make menuconfig"
builds. It is very frustrating. Does anyone know why stuff is not in alphabetical order? It's a pain in the clacka trying to find some of the entries. For example "Device Drivers -> Android". You would expect it to
be near the top of the device drivers, but no, it's near the bottom.

No, I'm not expecting anyone to "fix" it, just basically a
whinge.

Yeah, someone should clean that thing up… But I guess a lot of people
would complain because they are used to the current structure. 😄
Did you know you can search with / and then jump to the results with
the number keys?

I actually set aside an hour or two to go through the whole tree, paying particular attention to everything marked NEW. I actually enjoy seeing
what new functionality has been added with each upgrade even if it is irrelevant to my hardware. It's still good to know. Like the new built
in NTFS support in 5.15. I might have missed this if I hadn't come
across it!
make oldconfig feeds you the new items, one at a time, complete with
access to the help information.

I've been using the search for decades*. But I didn't know about the
number keys to jump until reading this message and trying it. #TIL

Number keys? I got to go test this. That would be one nifty trick.

You are not alone Grant. I started with my first puter back in 2003
and I had no idea about the number thing. I gave it a test run and
gosh darn it, it worked. That's a lot better than trying to hunt the

I got nconfig to work. The others didn't because of missing packages. It's interesting how many different ways there is to config a kernel. I went to a link that was posted, still reading it. May learn something
else, if I can remember it when I need it. lol

Apart from the fact I think I lost /var in my recent rebuild, I set up dokuwiki on my system and used it to make notes of all sorts of
interesting stuff.
If you can't remember things, find some package (like dokuwiki) that
will let you make notes ...

I'll look into that. I have a file in /root named freq-commands. I
keep it for frequent commands I use and explain what they are for. I
just cat and grep the file to find what I'm looking for. Sometimes I
have to cat the whole thing but most of the time I remember enough to
grep for it.
I used to work for a magazine company and I tracked over 10,000 magazine issues. I could look at the cover and know if it was out of date or
not. I always had the lowest late return rate in the company. Now, I forget what I went to the kitchen for. Sadly, I do that a lot. :-(
Got emerge working on that now. See what it looks like. Could be a
nifty tool. ;-)

Got it installed, got apache to work as well. Thing is, it does .php
pages and my web browsers don't open .php files. It just wants to
download them. I'm not sure how to fix that, yet. I'm making progress tho.
