I'm using menuconfig, and trying to grab some wisdom at pappy's kernelseeds and numerous forum posts.
But still, many explanations of kernel configurations are just double dutch to me -- or simply have no explanation at all.
Is there a more talkative (and possibly gui-based) program?

There are the following nice UI's:
make xconfig - provides a qt4 based interface.
make gconfig - provides a gtk based interface
make nconfig - provides a nicer ncurses based interface.
none of the above is more "informative" than the help you can get by pressing 'h' on any item while running menuconfig.

Hi , i get
| Code: | emerge -av gconfig
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "gconfig".
emerge: searching for similar names...
emerge: Maybe you meant any of these: virtual/pkgconfig, dev-util/pkgconfig, sys-devel/gnuconfig, net-misc/vconfig?
|
Ma Google doesn't reveal anything useful as well
Which is gconfig's ebuild?

No ebuild. Just runinstead ofIf you're using genkernel, then the command line option is --gconfig.
