I'm new to gentoo and the main reason for coming to gentoo is that I |
| 4 |
have an extra machine that I'd like to use as a DVR. Thus, I've |
| 5 |
installed mythtv. |

In general, the experience has been pleasant. However, I wonder about |
| 8 |
two things regarding emerge and mythtv's dependencies. The first is |
| 9 |
that mythtv failed to fully compile the first time because unzip was |
| 10 |
not installed. Next, is once mythtv finished compiling I tried to fire |
| 11 |
it up (mythtv-setup) and it was apparent that X was not installed. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
These are not major "problems," since gentoo seems to be a friendly |
| 14 |
distro (so far) and emerging unzip and X went/is going just fine. I |
| 15 |
just found it odd that the mythtv package didn't "make sure" unzip and |
| 16 |
X were present before it was installed. |
