I always remove pam, first thing during/after an install. Today, after the first emerge @world in the chroot, I unmerged pam-related stuff, and *TRIED* to emerge shadow. This had always workrd in the past. Today, I got a broken system. Emerge doesn't work, bash-completion doesn't work, yadda yadda yadda. I'm looking at running mkfs and re-downloading the stage3 tarball.
My question is... how do I remove pam during/after install, without breaking my system? -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
