I've never used the ebuild personally, but that sounds like it should work. > 2. i think i could get freenet working, but all the documentation suggests > that there should be more lines in my conf file. isn't that so? > > GNU nano 1.3.7 File: /etc/freenet.conf > > ipAddress=xxxxxxxx.xxx.xxx > listenPort=xxxx > seedFile=/var/freenet/seednodes.ref > logFile=/var/freenet/freenet.log > storeFile=/var/freenet/store > diagnosticsPath=/var/freenet/stats > routingDir=/var/freenet > nodeFile=/var/freenet/node > > thx for any input, Yes, freenet.conf should have rather more in it than that : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/freenet $ wc -l freenet.conf 865 freenet.conf Personally I would unmerge the ebuild and just download a tarball (http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.tgz), unzip it somewhere, then you should be able to generate a full configuration the 'normal' freenet way. Stop the node if it's running, delete or rename your freenet.conf then run ./start-freenet.sh and answer the prompts. Be aware it might take a while to carry on after the first couple of questions (because it has to start freenet in a special configuration mode).
