[gentoo-user] ufed questions
Trying out the program for the first time and one simple question is if you choose an item how do you specify that you want it to be a '-'? Pressing the space bar selects it, and adds it to make.conf with a +, but how do you get it to add with the '-' in front of it? Thanks Sean -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Pressing the space bar selects it, and adds it to make.conf with a +, but how do you get it to add with the '-' in front of it? if the flag is on by default from make.defaults or from your profile, there would by a + sign appearing in the first two columns... if you then make sure to _unselect_ that item, it would be recorded in make.conf with a - sign. In otherwords, ufed only records a -flag for those enabled in the profile or in the defaults. It saves space. A suggestion that many on this list seem to follow is to select the -* flag and only add the flag you need.

[gentoo-user] mythtv and 64bit - does it work/is it worth it?
Ive just been reading up on 64/32 bit and gentoo. Does 64bit (athlon64 3200) offer any advantages for a mythtv system? Its a (now that I have good HW on it!) stable working system, but it looks like I will have to reinstall (no mean feat considering the setup time this took in the first place!) if I go 64bit. My only reason is to do it is probably better to leap now rather than in a years time when it might be more difficult! (and its probably a good learning experience :) BillK -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
