I have to agree it seems kind of silly to have linux-headers if you already |
19 |
have *-sources.. I mean the rest of gentoo is so cleanly done, this doesnt |
20 |
seem to fit... linux-headers shouldnt even exist!:) |
21 |
|
22 |
Hmmm.. couldn't the bootstrap process build against linux-headers, then when |
23 |
you get to the part in the install that you have to build a kernel, unmerge |
24 |
linux-headers and setup all the proper symlinks to /usr/src/linux after the |
25 |
user emerged a kernel... or perhaps have the user d/l the kernel source |
26 |
before the bootstrap.. or maybe someone else has a solution |
27 |
|
28 |
CC:ing gentoo-dev.. I'd really like to know if this is feasible |

DISCLAIMER: im not a hardcore C developer, so maybe I'm just not getting why |
31 |
this wouldn't work |
