There are a few problems that hopefully can be avoided easily, such as post |
8 |
installation routines. I was planning on using a modularized script to update |
9 |
the LIDS ACLs, and letting every new program add ACLs for itself in one |
10 |
directory (one file for each program) upon installation. The problem (if one can |
11 |
call it that) is that I've recently decided to make a deny-all type of LIDS |
12 |
configuration, so every program that intends to do anything in particular will |
13 |
need specialized LIDS ACLs... So unless there is a special way of doing this, I |
14 |
think I'll have to modify a couple of .ebuild files... :-/ Luckily, I don't |
15 |
intend to include all the programs you guys have made .ebuild files for, such as |
16 |
X, Gnome, KDE, and other applications that are strictly unneccessary (and maybe |
17 |
even a security risk) on a dedicated server. |

Hopefully, I'll get an ADSL connection tomorrow (after waiting for a couple of |
23 |
years...), so I can install Gentoo for the first time. I downloaded the .iso, |
24 |
but downloading tens or hundreds of megabytes of source isn't really feasible |

when you're connected to the 'net with a 56k modem ;) |

#gentoo, here I come! ;) |
