1 Hi,
2
3 many thanks for this marvellous distribution of Gentoo !
4
5 Only some ideas how to improve it a little bit:
6
7 1. Wouldn't it be a good to make all the binaries in /bin and /sbin
8 statically linked?
9
10 This is standard with the BSD's and has the big advantage of having at
11 least some rudimentary commands working if some important libraries get
12 damaged or lost.
13
14 2. Could emerge output be set to non-colored mode (e.g. when output
15 stream is not a TTY or $TERM is not set)? That would a big help if your
16 terminal doesn't support colors, or not that kind of color codes, or you
17 want to use some filter program (like less).
18
19 Kind regards,
20 k.j.
