I read all of that :-) I read the whole kernel config section, the source sync section, and a bunch of other sections of the docs. Wery thorough and easy to follow. I have a lot of respect for the people responsible. Any advice at all is great. This includes, but is not limited to performance tips, recovery advice, sources of more information, and safety precautions to avoid needing to use the recovery advice. But now that you mention it, I think I will practice booting from a kernel other than /kernel, I'll practice on kernel.GENERIC. Thanks!
