Well, I have been toying with building a custom Smoothwall/IPCop type |
47 |
firewall/router for my own use (not for distribution), based on gentoo |
48 |
and php (instead of redhat and perl). A couple years ago, I managed |
49 |
to pick up a bunch of U1s from eBay for literally a dollar a piece, |
50 |
and just recently, a friend passed a U5 to me. So, I was looking to |
51 |
use what I had available. |
52 |
|
53 |
So, if I wanted to *test it* and/or live with restarting it once a |
54 |
day, how do I unmask it so emerge will install it? |
55 |
(/etc/portage/package.keywords didn't work) |
