Most of what I want can be installed simply by doing emerge name-of-app. Occasionally when I want to live on the bleeding edge and install a more recent version than they have available, of e.g. jack or alsa, I use emerge's "inject" feature to tell the package system that I've installed it myself so don't mess with it :-) This way I can still emerge apps that depend on jack even though I've installed it myself from source. Sure does take a long time to install, though :-) -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
