Hi Corbin,

here they are! :)

No, for the first I want to access/use overlays provided through
the people of the internet.


The installed layman:
[I] app-portage/layman
     Available versions:  2.0.0-r1 2.0.0-r3 ~2.1.0-r3 ~2.2.0-r7 ~2.3.0-r1 ~2.4.0-r1 ~2.4.1-r1 **9999 {bazaar cvs darcs g-sorcery +git gpg mercurial sqlite squashfs subversion sync-plugin-portage test PYTHON_TARGETS="pypy python2_7 python3_4 python3_5"}
     Installed versions:  2.0.0-r3(10:16:19 12/18/16)(bazaar cvs darcs git mercurial subversion -test PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -pypy")
     Homepage:            http://layman.sourceforge.net
     Description:         Tool to manage Gentoo overlays


The config methog:
I added the block

#---------------
# Repository config types used by layman
# (repos.conf, make.conf)
conf_type : repos.conf

to the end of /etc/layman/layman.cfg
conf_tyoe was not mentioned in that cfg-file as it was installed,
so I dont know, whether the docs was outdated, which mentioned it.

/etc/make.conf (yes, it is at that place on my system...why? dont
know...;) was not altered while tryong to layman anything...

Cheers
Meino
