Hi all,
I may be getting in over my head with this, but I'd like to make up an 
ebuild for the Globecom mp3 jukebox.  My question is this: installation 
options don't seem to be controlled by flags, rather they are set with 
an interactive installation script.  What is the best way to handle 
cases like this?  Do I need to construct a replacement installation 
script based on USE settings or is there some other way?

I would construct a replacement script as it seems to be the easiest way
to go about this.

Have you tried putting the configuration answers into a text file, and then 
running this:

	cat <answers file> | <setup-script>

That often works, and has the advantage of saving a lot of effort :)

Best regards,
Stu
