Hello Again to my Gentoo friends, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
ok, I am still enjoying using Gentoo. It's still a fantastic distro. |
| 4 |
I do have some issues with midnight commander though. The first thing |
| 5 |
is: why is SAMBA built into it by default? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have never, do not currently, and never intend to (yeah I know, never |
| 8 |
say never) run SAMBA anything on my box, so I would much rather not |
| 9 |
have it. And I really do not enjoy seeing those Codepage errors, which |
| 10 |
according to the reply to my previous message were being caused by the |
| 11 |
Samba in mc. Is this building in of it intentional? Any way that it |
| 12 |
can be turned into a USE option instead? We actually wound up removing |
| 13 |
the samba lines in the ebuild file. I hope that does not break |
| 14 |
anything though. It seems to barf at runtime - possibly because of a |
| 15 |
difference in samba config file placement? I do not know - I am not |
| 16 |
clear on this, I prefer to tango. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
While we are on the subject of mc, in fact, I notice that there are |
| 19 |
configuration options not being set at all in mc, eg |
| 20 |
--enable-mcserv-install --enable-charset and of course --with-ext2undel |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Anyway, they are easy enough to do by editing the config file, it's |
| 23 |
just SAMBA which is the sticking point... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Thanks again, |
| 26 |
