If you're having these problems, then you have much bigger problems that |
20 |
need to be addressed before we will ever be able to troubleshoot |
21 |
anything else. I would suggest starting from the specs/kconfigs above, |
22 |
as they are the 2005.0 versions used to build the release. |

Yeah, I pretty much didn't read this because of all that extra garbage |
28 |
that was luckily stripped by my mail server. Please don't attach this |
29 |
sort of thing in the future to a mailing list unless it is asked for, it |
30 |
is not only rude to anyone on dial-up that has to wait for the enormous |
31 |
email to download, but it also uses up significant resources on Gentoo's |
32 |
mail server to process. |

Well, starting from the "official" specs will definitely get you going |
42 |
in the right direction. Hopefully you can also solve your problems with |
43 |
things being masked, which will more than likely just require an update |
44 |
to your snapshot to something made after the 2005.0 release. |
