Not completely true-- someone has taken the opportunity to practice |
| 16 |
their ebuild writing skills, so there is a proposed ebuild on |
| 17 |
bugs.gentoo.org (b.g.o), found by searching ALL knetworkconf: |

While putting an unofficial build in one's overlay is also not 'simple' |
| 22 |
if you've never done it before, 1) it's a useful skill to have if you're |
| 23 |
a Gentoo user; and 2) it's easier than building from source for what is |
| 24 |
likely a complex build (suggested by the fact that no one has it but |
| 25 |
knoppix). |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So while there are likely to be problems, at least you can also |
| 28 |
contribute to the bug so that 1) you might get help/fixes if the ebuild |
| 29 |
doesn't emerge and 2) any problems with the ebuild get fixed faster, |
| 30 |
paving the way to get the ebuild into Portage that much sooner. |

You probably want to have a look at the following references: |
