Arch Linux and automating network

I found these while searching the archwiki.

so can I just manually edit kernel and then make && make modules_install
then cp over to boot

Yes, you can. You will need to remove the initrd line, unless you will be creating an init ramdisk as well.

A more automated way would be http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/...ation_with_ABSABS

very interesting reads. Thanks for the links guys. I personally am also pretty happy with the standard kernel but I always like to have the ability to do some tinkering if I so choose and now I have that option under arch. Thanks again.

I dunno if the wiki is down or something, but I couldn't get into it atm...

However I compile the kernel myself on Arch too, I download the kernel.org sources, untar them to /usr/src, "ln -s /usr/src/linux-* /usr/src/linux", and then a final "cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig bzImage modules modules_install" and install the kernel manually.

IIRC "cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig bzImage modules modules_install install" should work too.
