| | A few I would like to see... in order... | | | 1-PROGRESS BARS... man-o-man would I love a progress bar during an emerge | update, instead of all the text that gets listed to console. And "updating | portage cache"... WOW. That's a real friendly, informative screen update. :') | Maybe just expanding the existing -quiet switch in emerge would be better? | maybe that one, but the others?
| 3-STARTUP SCRIPTS... Yup, Gentoo is beautiful. I use it all the time, on maybe | a dozen computers of various architecture and brand. But I really have issue | with the manner of organizing the system startup scripts. Could we please, | use something more granular, more static? Like the good, old fashion SystemV | stuff that they used in Caldera Open Linux? KDE ships with a SysV editor that | would be a PERFECT match for something like this. I'm so tired of booting the | laptops at work and wating for the "CACHING" to complete... If nothing else | is done, please see PROGRESS BARS above. i think these startup-scripts are wonderful, that had been one of the things which turned me over to gentoo!
| | 4-DEVFS is a horrible beast... Have odd hardware? Have odd drivers? You gotta' | edit the devfs config file... Blah... Please go back to using a static /dev | directory like Linus intended. :') It's one of the FIRST things I remove from | my Gentoo installs and it's soooo much better. | never had any problem with this one. think it's really useful and nice on all of my computers...
