Hardly anyone was on the channel at the time. Also once I was silenced someone commented on the channel being quite? Not sure what your definition of trolling, but I was not? > he was pointed at the .src.rpm 5 times, but his mindset of building out > of kernel-devel instead was hard to shake off ( he carried that with him > into the mailing list ). My bad already stated. I did build a kernel using something other than the src.rpm. I mistakenly though it was the kernel-devel package. Now I am thinking it was a actual kernel rpm. Since I know it was not src.rpm. I had to many problems with that. > I recall being pointed at a few kernel > tarballs that had been built out of this said kernel-devel package even!

I was looking for someone who has built a custom kernel for x86_64 on CentOS. If that was not you or anyone else in conversation. Everything that was discussed was irrelevant to the question originally asked. > its a no issue as far as i am concerned, this guy does not know about > centos or how its setup, we can try and tell him - whatever info he > takes away with him, is upto him. I used to use solely RH up to the RH9 -> Fedora -> RHEL thing. What I am not familiar with the the RHEL4 way of doing things, which is what CentOS 4 is based on. IMHO they made something harder that used to be rather quick and easy. > but if he is going to be a problem and > troll, he is going to get the +q treatment, just as anyone else does. It was only a problem for you. Continued name calling "troll" when I have been nothing buy polite. Unfortunately was not treated that way in return. No one had to respond. Ignoring someone is more mature than booting them from a IRC channel. Because you do not like what they are trying to do etc. At first I was happy to get a working solution off CentOS kernel sources, how ever I got them. Was pleased with that, and thankfully to the CentOS community. However my brief exposure to the community, reveals one I would rather avoid. Heck I would rather pay RH than be treated like this. Really not that hard to ignore, and/or answer question asked, which has yet to be. Or politely ask someone to stop, rather than without notice, silence them or kick them? And for the record, I have asked at least as many if not more CentOS related kernel ?'s to gentoo channels and no flack. In fact I kept some of them up to date with what was going on in the CentOS channel. -- Sincerely, William L. Thomson Jr. Obsidian-Studios, Inc. http://www.obsidian-studios.com
