Looking good, thanks. Are you satisfied with the kernel you have this
way? I mean, are you using it in production, how many nodes etc.
A few minor suggestions for the script itself:
1. "#checking packages" better be moved before read -t 10, no need to
wait then see that we can't build
2. s/$(fgrep processor /proc/cpuinfo|wc -l)/$(grep -cw ^processor
/proc/cpuinfo)/
3. print_usage could be improved to not hardcode current defaults but
take it from KERNELINFO
