Hi,
I'm about to build my first custom kernel.
I've read some documentation in order prepare myself to this thing.
The AlienBob's article being my primary source of documentation.
I've a few questions :
- How can I be sure that the kernel I'm building will have all the required drivers for my external devices ? e.g Xbox360 controller, USB 3.0 ports, Intel Wirelless + Bluetooth card...
Of course, I'm aware about the proprietary firmwares not being included in the Linux kernel.
- If I don't plan to use LVM or LUKS, should I build a "huge" kernel ?
I'm asking this question because the diff file that I've got from comparing the generic kernel config and the huge one doesn't report much differences between these two configs.
For example, I've seen that the NTFS Read/Write feature is disabled in generic.
Since I need to access NTFS partitions, I will have to change this line :
like that :
Is that correct ?
Thanks.
