Hi
In trying to update my system (server -- no X running) I looked in the docs and it said to
% emerge --update --deep world
This is trying to update a bunch of packages that I never had installed in the first place and is coming into errors since the kernel does not have things like sound enabled (this is a java server only).
The current problem is
>>> emerge (1 of 177) media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8 to / . . . * Your kernel doesn't have sound support enabled. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging * this package again.
I don't want sound enabled and never installed this in the first place. I may have installed a simple X system so that the X libraries could be used to link against in case I had some system utilities or monitoring programs that ran under X that I could redirect to my workstation. But I never installed sound and it worked last time I did this.
What to do?
Thanks Chad
