Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo installation on an old notebook with a little help from my desktop pc
On 5/4/05, Ezequiel Tolnay [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a decent desktop with gentoo, and an old and slow Pentium-266Mhz notebook, where I would like to install Gentoo. Can anyone suggest me how to use my fast processor to do the installation, perhaps mounting a drive using NFS and doing a chroot, so the installation does not take a whole month? I'm concerned that if I follow the guidelines for the installation like this, the packages might be compiled for the current processor (athlon) instead of the old pentium (586), or pick some hardware features from the new machine and install binaries that will finally not work. I've done gentoo install on P166 MMX 32RAM notebook. Here's what I did: 1. create a chroot from stageX on my amd64 helpful command: mount -o bind /usr/portage /chroot-pentium/usr/portage 2. set CHOST,CFLAGS,USE and bootstrap + build the system 3. compile a kernel for the old laptop 3. tar the whole chroot and copy it over PLIP to running windoze 98 4. copy over the gentoo liveCD 5. fiddle around with loadlin and boot linux from DOS MODE (my piece of junk doesn't have a CDROM) 6. set up partitions and untar the chroot 7. get it to boot with grub thats pretty much it. Its been a year or so since I did that so I don't remember any details :( I still keep c.a. 300MB of chroot on my amd64 to build upgrades. There's no /usr/portage on my laptop. Every package gets built by amd64 (emerge -b/-B), the portage tree is exported via samba (not NFS, cause I need samba anywayz). Every package I install directly is binary (emerge -K).

My only problem is, I have no clue where to start ... beginning from should I use 2 redundant and really strong or some more but cheaper servers? to which qmail distributions and patches should I use (ldap, mysql, ...)? and how to store data (mails) and do online backup w/o downtime?.

[gentoo-user] OSS software prototype
Hello, i've been thinking about a new software and i would like the opinion from the community about it's viability. It's not directly related to Gentoo but OSS in general. The name i believe would describe it the best is 'helpforge' the sameway it exists 'howtoforge' and 'sourceforge'. The main goal is to relate the sameway to 'contributing' as sourceforge to deploy software. It would abstract technologies (cvs,svn,whatever) from the common user enabling him to have an access to a portal whre he could browse 'task requests' in a categorized way. Perhaps the most elucidating example would be a translation. I'm coding software 'X' and would like to translate the manuals to some foreign language, i could (assuming my project is registered in the portal) submit a 'task request'. Then, Joe (an happy guy who doesnt now anything about cvs nor my project or even what is OSS) who has access to the site and was perhaps an interpreter would read the task information and think 'Hey i can do this', download the files, translate them and re-submit them. Then, another guy could 'verify' the task (check for errors) and evaluate the 'contributor performance' and rate him. Then task would then be complete and the developer notified. I'm considering it could have the profiles : - developers (the project owners) - contributers (the one who contribute) - reviewers (those who review the work done) The reviewing component seems interesting as it could minimize the chance for errors. Also the 'contributor rating' could enable better rated contributors to have access to harder and more important tasks. The portal would categorize the tasks like translations, database designs, UI designs, etc etc, the more the better. Also of could it would contain information on how to access code repository's, project information and such. Integration with sourceforge would minimize duplicate project information. As i say, these are mere guidelines, what do you think? begin:vcard fn;quoted-printable:Jos=C3=A9 Moreira n;quoted-printable:Moreira;Jos=C3=A9 adr:;;;Vila Nova de Gaia;;;Portugal email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard

[gentoo-user] bind 9.2.2-r3, refuse to work, may I emerge sync just bind?
Hi guys,
I just put my dns to work hear at my network, so now I'm wanting to
put it to my webserver with a real domain name.
At my office machine I have bind-9.2.5 that is working very fine, but
at the webserver I have bind-9.2.2-r3. My problem now is that bind at
webserver refuse to work. I even tried to completelly remove bind of
my system e re-emerge it, calling named with the default configuration
and it also doesnt't work.

How I telled, I'm trying to use the default bind configuration as you
can see below:

// uncomment the following lines to turn on DNS forwarding,
// and change the forwarding ip address(es) :
//forward first;

// to allow only specific hosts to use the DNS server:
//allow-query {
// 127.0.0.1;
//};
// if you have problems and are behind a firewall:
//query-source address * port 53;

};
zone . IN {
type hint;
file named.ca;
};
zone localhost IN {

file pri/localhost.zone;
allow-update { none; };
notify no;
};
zone 127.in-addr.arpa IN {
type master;
file pri/127.zone;
allow-update { none; };
notify no;
};
So what could be happening? Is that a problem with this version? I
can't do a full emerge sync now with the webserver operating, but if
I can just emerge sync bind, is there a possible?

Would depend upon what /dev/cdrom is mapped to, whether you're using the legacy devfs or udev, etc. /dev/hdc will always map to the ide device where /dev/cdrom might be incorrectly configured (i.e. via udev) to not map to the correct device.

RE: [gentoo-user] kde kwifimanager blocked by kdenetwork
Thanks Neil for the reply, I think many moons ago, when I first installed Gentoo via the online docs, I installed kde v3.2 via some emerge kde-base/kde or something like that. If I do an esearch kde, I notice a whole lot of packages I don't have?! :( I would like to use my /etc/portage/package.use file (as is the proper way right), so what package(s) entry should I put in there to USE 'wifi'?

Hi David, Yes, I use a notebook almost exclusively, and it is great knowing that if someone stole it, they wouldn't get anything of interest on me. Of course, I'm still out $3K, and they can just reformat the hard drive. I will in the next few days put together a draft step-by-step proceedure for doing it, as it seems there's some interest. However, I am still hung up on the shutdown commands, as my notebook hangs at trying to unmount the CFS directory. But since it has already unmounted everything else, I don't have any problem with shutting down the power manually. Sincerely, Rob -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] laptop-Modular Bay HotPLug possible?
Same here: I can swap the bay mounted cdrw with a floppy module for a short time, and as long as I swap it back before doing a software suspend all is fine. Any other combination (including leaving it out for extended periods) ensures a painful crash at inopportune moments. As well, my i82k has a stupidly designed catch on the bay that often releases when picking the machine up: leaving the device partially plugged in. Again, a crash often results. Hotplugging may help here. BillK On Thu, 2005-05-05 at 10:47 +0800, Ow Mun Heng wrote: Just wondering if there's code to mark the modular bay in laptops to be hot-pluggable.
