My thoughts about script to install ...@W. Anderson:<br />My thoughts about script to install complex drivers is misplaced in the first instance because it is on my blog, not on bug tracker or any other official page. But you're right, Gentoo should think about the script, not Sabayon.<br />Now, when I have my Broadcom 4311 WiFi card working just after one command (see above), there is no need to write the script.DarkDuck (m)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06273784224243667602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-52451738312363117102011-06-07T23:04:50.659+01:002011-06-07T23:04:50.659+01:00@Chen Xiao-Long:

Entropy is the Sabayon Linux binary package manager and it has two user interfaces: a GUI named 'Sulfur', and a CLI named 'Equo'. Portage is the Gentoo Linux source package manager and it is usable in Sabayon Linux if the user is experienced in Portage and Entropy and knows how they interact.<br /><br />The Sabayon Linux Forums post from February 2008 that you referenced regarding the Broadcom 4311 driver is way out of date, and was for an earlier version of Sabayon Linux (3.4F). It pre-dates the arrival of Entropy, when only Portage was used as the package manager for Sabayon Linux. The initial steps to prepare the package managers after installation of the distro are given in the article 'Entropy' in the Sabayon Linux Wiki.
