2.6 sources PROVIDE virtual/alsa, so you'll probably have to edit /var/cache/edb/virtuals Unless the alsa-driver ebuild has some other method to prevent you from installing while running a 2.6 kernel, go for it. You mention alsa from cvs, if that means you'll be building it manually, ignore what I just said and just go for it. As you'll be working outside of portage, what portage does or does not know about isn't relevant. - -- Mike Williams -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAIZP8InuLMrk7bIwRAo4SAJ9Z2NaBFAw+O3/0v7OKKFTuVeDNYQCgovWQ tEttwZIi2h2g2yX4e8kqThc= =o3WC -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
