Yea, I'm good at finding a bug. My recent experience with a stage3 |
123 |
tarball shows that. After several tries, I came to the conclusion that |
124 |
the stage3 tarball is basically worthless. I unpacked it, copied over |
125 |
the new tree, no need downloading a new one when I have one, then tried |
126 |
to update it with the default USE flags the stage3 provides. Right at |
127 |
the start, I ran into a circular dependency and some blocked packages. |
128 |
No matter what I tried, including posts on how to get around it, it |
129 |
never would upgrade. I just wonder if anyone else is running into the |
130 |
same issue. I ended up copying my OS over to the new build location and |
131 |
using it. It works. |
132 |
|
133 |
I like open source stuff. I've never "bought" a OS for any computer |
134 |
I've ever had. One reason I bought my Samsung cell phone, Linux. |
135 |
Before that, I had a Motorola Razr. I'd still have it if not for the |
136 |
charge port getting worn out. I could no longer charge the phone |
137 |
reliably. I have a Samsung monitor, Linux; LG TVs, Linux again. If I |
138 |
can find something that runs Linux that I need, it's my first choice. |
139 |
Look in the owners manual in the last few pages. It usually mentions |
140 |
the Linux kernel if its running Linux. |
141 |
|
142 |
Yep, I'd love to Gentoo head down this path. Someone posted a link to a |
143 |
image that shows all the offshoots of Gentoo. It's quite a lot. That |
144 |
was years ago. I'm not sure if more have been added or not. If Gentoo |
145 |
shut down and deleted the tree, a lot of people would be lost. It would |
146 |
also take a lot of people to pick it up and get it going again, if it |
147 |
can be done. |
148 |
|
149 |
I'm not offended at all by the mention of my name. I just thought maybe |
150 |
someone named a tractor brand after me. ROFL |
151 |
|
152 |
Oh, having my own OS on my phone would also mean I could uninstall those |
153 |
apps I don't want or need. Some can't be uninstalled since they are |
154 |
"required" even tho they show never being used, ever. |
