I installed a small gentoo based (q)mail only server from stage3 tarball on very old PC with 2GB hdd. (2GB is not much, but should be enough, 'cause no other services nor XFree ... are needed.)
I simply booted from Knoppix, and made these steps: fdisk, mkfs, mount fs's, setup network, downloaded stage3 tarbal, untarred, chrooted, source profile, env-update, emerge sync, edited make.conf => USE=" -X -kde -gnome -ipv6 maildirs" emerge gentoo_sources ... and now it cames ... emerge -pv lilo ... the answer is very surrprising:
[ebuild N ] media-libs/jpeg-6b-r3
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libpng-1.2.5-r4
[ebuild N ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.4 +doc +zlib -bindist
[ebuild N ] x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.9
[ebuild N ] x11-base/opengl-update-1.5
[ebuild N ] media-libs/fontconfig-2.2.1
[ebuild N ] app-arch/cabextract-0.6
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 -3dfx +sse -mmx -3dnow +xml2 +truetype
+nls -cjk +doc -ipv6 -debug -static +pam -sdk -gatos
[ebuild N ] media-libs/tiff-3.5.7-r1
[ebuild N ] net-print/cups-1.1.19-r1 +ssl -slp +pam
[ebuild N ] app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r1 +X +cups -cjk
[ebuild N ] dev-lang/nasm-0.98.38 +doc -build
[ebuild N ] sys-boot/lilo-22.5.1
For sure something went wrong ... !?!
USE="-*" emerge -pv lilo solved it, and only the last two lines were emerged, but I like to find where the problem is and how can I check/repair broken dependencies, so some good tips are very appreciated.
Thanks in advance ...
