Peter, |
| 28 |
Using the instructions here for the pro-audio overlay I used layman |
| 29 |
and it's working OK for me: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
http://proaudio.tuxfamily.org/wiki/index.php?title=Usage |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I cannot speak to any other overlays. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I did have problems with eix not recognizing the overlay. That |
| 36 |
wasn't layman's fault but rather that eix doesn't currently recognize |
| 37 |
sourced overlay paths. (I guess...) When I put the path for the |
| 38 |
overlay directly in my make.conf file eix started seeing it also. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Hope this helps, |
| 41 |
Mark |
