That's fine if I want to follow the stable branch and update the whole system. All I want to do is update my kernel to something more appropriate for my needs. I have 4.0-RELEASE right now. I know it's highly recommended to follow the stable branch but at this point that's not what I want to do. Has the ability to simply recompile the kernel been obscured so much in this release? Thanks!
