This is just my problem list when installing rc5, which is otherwise wonderful. 1. First off, "emerge rsync" appears to clobber /etc/make.conf and /etc/make.globals. Admittedly my CONFIG_PROTECT was "", allowing such a clobber, but the clobber reset my CONFIG_PROTECT to the default; I think this is by design but is slightly annoying. 2. Depmod -a always shouts about unresolved symbols in all modules, although the modules still work fine. From #gentoo I gather this is a known problem with rc5, and doesn't stop anything working. 3. After an emerge I get a warning about all missing info files. Again, I believe this is a known issue that doesn't stop things working. 4. BitchX installation creates incorrect symlink. Following "emerge bitchx-1.0.18-r2.ebuild", the link /usr/bin/BitchX pointed to something non-existant, instead of the correct /usr/bin/BitchX-1.0c18. Unfortunately I can't remember where precisely it did link as I've already pointed it to where it should be. My setting were default USE flags, CONFIG_PROTECT="", CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu", CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe", CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -march=i686 -O3 -pipe" Hope this helps. Great work folks, I love the OS. Brgrds, Iain C
