Well. I can't see the future :) But in the current situation, I have to look for workarounds like, mentioned by you, installation from package cd and then patching kernel. And I do not see any steps forward. So I told never. Of course may be one day... But may be there is a possibility to create ebuild, which will download the patch from http://www.polbox.com/h/hs001/ , and then patch the kernel? I think this ebuild can be GPL'ed, but then user can decide does he want this bad kernel headers and other code be changed or not. What is the gentoo position concerning ebuild for packages with proprietary license? Is there any possibility to have such ebuild in portage? Of course such solution does not solve problems with live-cd but it can improve gentoo's package system: the user can know nothing about pathing, but has everything necessary installed. I think that is the reason for package system to exist. ________ Peter. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
