OK, |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
This is an interesting approach. |
| 13 |
So if I use a very restricted subset of kde-4.2 and call it @james-kde-4.2 |
| 14 |
and filter on that, it should work. |

Thanks for the suggestion. I get the feeling we're all hacking our own |
| 19 |
install semantics here for kde-4.2. With dozens of workstations to eventually |
| 20 |
support, I'm looking for something (error free) in my systematic approach. |
| 21 |

"Winging it" a little bit different each time brings about risk and |
| 23 |
inhibits my conservative nature, when doing admin work. It just seems like |
| 24 |
every thing I read, there are different wrinkles to the various approaches. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So we now have evdev (xorg.conf going on a diet), |
| 27 |
kde-4.x gymnastics |
| 28 |
and no installation media for '09. |
| 29 |
Very smart folks have recommended using different media |
| 30 |
to install (most of which have worked for me) and |
| 31 |
things like the kernel/distro function for drivers keeps changing. |
| 32 |

Ya just gotta love Gentoo. Just when I was ready to completely |
| 35 |
script up my job, I have to relearn how to install and |
| 36 |
maintain systems all over again. It's going to be real interesting |
| 37 |
to see how the official gentoo docs end up. |

"So. We have lots of work to do on the handbooks just for the autobuilds. |
| 40 |
Should we have a new directory layout as well?" |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I'll keep all of this in mind. |

thx, |
