[gentoo-dev] Several questions

[gentoo-dev] Several questions

[Marius Brügemann]

I've got several questions:

1) What file is been executing during boot-process to start the modules?

2) All my users are in the group "audio" but thy can't use the soundcard I'm 
using as root. What I have to do?

3) How can I "uninstall" programs I installed by ./configure && make && 
make_install? How do you do this in ebuilds (unmerging) ??

4) THANKS to all gentoo devs and their great support... Gentoo IS the best 
distro I ever used. Fast, stable and "clean". LFS for rookies. GREAT!!!

read the gentoo desktop guide. you have to add some entries to your
devfsd.conf file in order to have persistent rights in /dev.
btw, the guide is excellent for sound.

some packages provide a target "uninstall" in the makefile.
if you did emerge it, just type

ebuild /var/db/pkg/<category>/<package-name>/<ebuild-name> unmerge

afaik, there are plans to provide an uninstall feature in the high-level
emerge command.

You add modules you want to load at boot in /etc/rc.d/config/modules.

Yes, a better way of unmerging would be nice. eunmerge perhaps?, making
emerge unmerge seems a little strange to me.

I guess we could make an eunmerge, and whatever more we want then do a
epkg tool that takes flags (if one wants just one tool for controlling
portage).

epkg --install gnumeric-0.68.ebuild   (short -i)
epkg --remove  gnumeric               (short -r)
epkg --update  gnumeric               (short -u) 

I also thinkt that we should add the ability to just do

epkg -i gnumeric (which takes the latest non-blocked gnumeric-package
and emerges it). 
epkg -i gnome-office/gnumeric should also be valid.
