[m3000][root][~] emerge --ask alsaplayer These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "alsaplayer". OK guys, where is alsaplayer hiding? xine ==> almost as bloated as Windows Media Player. I want a simple *AUDIO PLAYER* dammit, not some honking big "multi-media" package that takes forever to build. I've had problems building xine, and swear by mplayer. I'd sooner use mplayer than xine. amarok ==> Even worse than xine. It's a Windows Media Player wannabee bloated frontend that ends up launching xine. In addition to building xinelib, it also builds kde-base, ruby, and a bunch of other junk. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://techsec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
