There's still some setup to do, but I can handle it from my desktop. One thing I might forward to the maintainers as a documentation bug/suggestion... If you're doing a remote install via ssh, *BEFORE THE REBOOT* run "ssh-keygen" on the install target, and then... scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub root@:/mnt/gentoo/root/.ssh/authorized_keys This allows a root connection from your machine to the target machine, so that you're not locked out . In my case, I only had to walk a few steps to the laptop, run ssh-keygen, edit /etc/ssh/sshd.config, restart sshd, and login manually via ssh. If you're doing a really remote install, it could be embarressing. After uploading my key, I've changed sshd.config back and restarted sshd. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

It depends whether the `gpm` USE-flag is set or not. From the ncurses ebuild:
(See [1] for documentation regarding the ${MULTILIB_USEDEP} eclass variable.)
DEPEND="gpm? ( sys-libs/gpm[${MULTILIB_USEDEP}] )" [2]
The list of architectures you're seeing is an expansion of ${MULTILIB_USEDEP}
as defined by the `multilib-build` (or in this case, `multilib-minimal` eclass);
this can be removed from the output by passing the local option -U to depgraph.
As all of these are disabled, I'm guessing you're not running a multi-lib
profile.
> Note that there's a gpm USE flag for ncurses, but it's *--*
What do you mean, "but it's *--*" ? Do you mean it's disabled ? Equery lists
dependencies as specified by the DEPEND ebuild variable, regardless of your own
system's USE-flags. Try running the same equery command for something with lots
of optional dependencies, such as Firefox, and you'll see the same behaviour.

Hi, If I enter "equery uses sys-libs/readline" on one machine, it gives my a bunch of USE variables for sys-libs/ncurses-6.2-r1, some enabled, some not. When I run the same command on another machine, it tells me !!! No USE flags found for sys-libs/ncurses-6.2-r1 What am I doing wrong?

As I mentioned in another post, the "toe" command shows which TERM types you terminal supports. xterm (the app) doesn't support "linux" TERM type. The solution was to set TERM to "xterm" at both ends.

Knowing that it was a TERM mismatch, a bit of googling turned up the "toe" command, which lists what your terminal supports. It looks like the install CD defaults to TERM="linux", which xterm (the app) doesn't support, according to "toe". Setting TERM on both ends to "xterm" solves the problem. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
