I ended up going with 17.1 since I downloaded the current-stage3-amd64 |
38 |
package and the Handbook made it clear the profile needs to match the |
39 |
stage3 file you download. |

I didn't emerge portaudio or pulseaudio before emerging espeak so will |
42 |
have to reemerge espeak to pick those USE variables up. |
43 |
Another mistake I made was emerging espeak before emerging |
44 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources but since I'll have to reemerge, the |
45 |
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources package has been emerged on the system now. The |
46 |
right order of operations here is critical! |
