RE: [gentoo-user] Getting Photos From A Digital Camera
Why not set up your camera to act as a USB disk? I do it this way and use the very special tools like ``mount'', ``ls'' and ``cp'' ;o) I second this. Just set something like: = /dev/sda /mnt/sdaauto,vfat,msdos noauto,user,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 auto,vfat,msdos noauto,user,noatime 0 0 = depending on what your camera's flash memory is recognised as (look in your dmesg output when you plug it in) and then use ls, or your file manager to look at and manipulate its contents. If you have hald it should be picked up automatically without you having to create the /mnt/sda directory or manually mount/umount the device. -- Regards, Mick [Timothy A.

Failed at exactly the same place. Since each log file is 30,544 lines
long, it doesn't seem likely to be heat related (i.e., I would suspect
that a heat related hardware failure would not be so deterministic as
to fail after so many compiles in the same place).
I am not sure, but it might be that the ebuild forces -j1 by itself

also running and the available space never went below 5.9G. Once
again it failed at the same place.
So I don't see it as a hardware failure, due to the repeatability.
It is not inadequate disk space.

[gentoo-user] backup tool for my Windows 98 desktop?
Hello. Most of our computers in the Office runs Linux, however we have to keep a Win98 desktop (dual-boot with Linux) so that we can test several software. This is a purely testbed machine that need regular re-install. e.g. once a month, because it's placed publically and breaks frequently. I am tired of re-installing Windows 98, and then complete with other software (filezilla, 7-zip, extra editors..., OOO). I think perhaps it's easier after I re-installed everything I make a backup of the Windows partition onto a CDROM and later use that CDROM to restore the partition. The partition is 5GB but actual data on it is smaller then 600MB right after Win98 and complementary software installed. First I thought using gentoo live CD, use dd(1) to copy the partition to a file and burn it on the live CD. However the file must be too big to fit on CDR (en I think perhaps I can compress it), and yet how do I add it to the live CD iso image so that cdrecord(1) can burn it? I think perhaps I should first try borrow experience on gentoo user list. How do you think is the best approach? P.S. I know norton Ghost can do this but I don't think it's worth to buy a copy. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

To create an ISO image containing the file, you want mkisofs (included in cdrtools afaik): # mkdir win98 # mv win98.gz win98/ # mkisofs -o win98.iso win98/ From there, it's standard cdrecord procedure. To restore the partition later, simply boot to Linux and: # mount /mnt/cdrom # zcat /mnt/cdrom/win98.gz | dd of=/dev/(win98) If even gzip -9 can't get the partition small enough for you, I'm not sure what to do. Try using DBAN (dban.sourceforge.net) to cover the partition in zeroes before doing the Windows install; the repeated zeroes in the unused space will probably help reduce the compressed file size.

The program that is failing (ar) comes from binutils. Maybe you can try the 2.17 version of binutils...it's what I built OOo with. echo ~sys-devel/binutils-2.17 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge --oneshot binutils binutils-config -l # make sure it shows 2.17 as selected emerge --oneshot openoffice If this doesn't work, reverting gcc versions, or maybe even just merge openoffice-bin. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This time emerge -e world failed on sys-fs/dazuko kde-base/kdewebdev sys-apps/busybox app-office/openoffice kde-base/kdemultimedia and sci-astronomy/celestia before I gave up and reverted to 3.4.4. Could you file bugs on each of these with your errors? Also, it is probably useful to try building the ~arch version of each package. It seems that some of the gcc-4.1 fixes are still in ~arch versions. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
