Hi, |
2 |
Hm. I managed to follow most of what you said, though your comments |
3 |
about different versions of Baselayout are a little confuxing to me. I |
4 |
didn't know there were different ones. |
5 |
As for Speakup, I wonder if I can do this before I need to reboot the |
6 |
newly installed system according to the handbook. Does that Gentoo-sources |
7 |
kernel need to be the running one before I emerge speakup and all that? |
8 |
Thanks for your help. It's very much appreciated, and I guess I just need a |
9 |
little bit more clarification--I remember things being ~-masked before, I'll |
10 |
have to see what is this time. |
11 |
Best, |
12 |
Zack. |
