Not completely true-- someone has taken the opportunity to practice their ebuild writing skills, so there is a proposed ebuild on bugs.gentoo.org (b.g.o), found by searching ALL knetworkconf: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19413 While putting an unofficial build in one's overlay is also not 'simple' if you've never done it before, 1) it's a useful skill to have if you're a Gentoo user; and 2) it's easier than building from source for what is likely a complex build (suggested by the fact that no one has it but knoppix). So while there are likely to be problems, at least you can also contribute to the bug so that 1) you might get help/fixes if the ebuild doesn't emerge and 2) any problems with the ebuild get fixed faster, paving the way to get the ebuild into Portage that much sooner. You probably want to have a look at the following references: Adding unofficial ebuilds (Gentoo docs) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=3&chap=5#doc_chap2 HOW-TO Installing 3rd party ebuilds (gentoo-wiki.com) http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
