Recently purchased the Jackass 2005.1 cd, installed Gentoo and after a lengthy kde compiling am up and running.
Two minor issues.
Problem one:
I emerged alsa, alsa-lib & alsa-tools but alsaconf, alsamixer and /etc/init.d/alsasound are missing. I am guessing that some alsa components are missing. I prefer and am using a vanilla 2.6.12.5 kernel that has alsa compiled as modules, meaning I don't need alsa-driver. This setup works fine in Slackware & Arch, so I'm sure it's not a problem with the kernel configuration. How exactly do I emerge alsa so that I know I have everything? I know I have to rc-update add alsasound default, but it's just not there.
Problem two:
Emerged ntp. Have ntp-client set to start in default runlevel. It does and adjusts the time using us.pool.ntp.org. Ntpd is set to start next. The start screen says it starts, it does, but when I check it using top or ps aux it has exited. It leaves the /var/run/ntpd.pid showing it started and shut off. If I manually start ntpd in root it will then keep running and use my custom /etc/ntp.conf file. Any ideas? The dependencies say I need dns responder. Could that be the problem? I don't see it in the boot or run level, or in /etc/init.d.
Thanks for any assistance. Other than that am impressed thus far. Very crisp and responsive with lower memory usage than even Arch.

As for ntp. It is working on my system, but I thought it ran on startup then ran again from cron at regular intervals to correct the clock. It does not run constantly. I could be very wrong though.
