Hi, I have noticed in PCLinuxOS 2010 there is the option to use several different configured versions of kernel 2.6.32.8.
I was wondering if one could be configured specifically for Laptops, and other portable variants, would this be a viable suggestion?
It might be an extra plus for PCLInuxos 2010, though its already the best imho.  Smiley

I would like that also, but i fear that it will only incorporate the famous Intel Atom family cpu and chipsets.

Problem is that I myself have a HP Mini 2133 netbook, and this one has a Via C7/M chip and some exotic graphic chipset.

I personnaly think, that if it is possible, some elements are extremely necessairy to include, like frequency scaling for example and temperature monitoring.

Hi OnlyHuman

Its my understanding that new packages etc should be requested in the Package Suggest Board:

I also remember when I read it (long time ago mind you  Grin) something about not requesting kernels, but that may of changed.

Oh, NO! NO! NO!

You most definitely didn't tread on my toes - no offense taken whatsoever

I took it in the spirit you posted it in!

So, please, please don't worry.
