The thing that is driving my backups is a hard disk failure. Of course :) Hence I was using Ghost instead of something else so I can backup the entire drive and not just a single partition. That enables the quickest recovery of the entire system in the event of a failure. Depends. If you'd just store tar files, you'd just have to create the filesystem beforehand and then restore the tar files. Won't take much longer than restoring a Ghost image, I'd suppose. I have looked everywhere I can think of to find a tool that is similar to Ghost that will backup the entire hard drive to an image that I can put to DVD, without including free blocks on the disk (I don't want an 80GB image of an 80GB drive when only 5GB are in use at the time). That's why I'd rather use tar... An additional benefit is, that tar is *MUCH* simpler than Ghost (or partimage). Because of that, you could use your tar file in many more applications (for example if you want to have a look at what the file was at your last backup). Does anyone know of a tool capable of this that runs on Linux and has FULL Linux fs support? partimage. Michael -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Actually they don't all cost a fortune. You can pick up a cheap managed switch these days. We have like 20 of these Nortel Baystack 450s at my company that we used to use for development for our NAC product. They sell on eBay for about $50, we've gotten some as cheap as $7 + shipping. Hell, I've found an Asanti IntraCore 3524 in great condition (that I have sitting here at my desk) laying by the trash pile that some other company in our building was tossing out. eBay for managed switch and sort by price, lowest first. Having said all that, I would just go with a software traffic monitor like the ones previously mentioned. Dealing with a manged switch is absolutely no fun unless you're either really into Layer 2 or 3 masochism, cryptic commands, and have a pant-load of computers you need vlans and stuff for. BTW, that 'trafshow' tool is pretty slick! I've never used it before. Thanks Drew Tomlinson. One bug that I notice though, is that I run several vhosts, and when I hit some of the web sites, they all show up as the same domain name.

Downloading Alien::SVN has an interesting note: It comes with a copy of Subversion 1.4.6 which it will compile but only installs the Perl and Subversion libraries. The subversion binaries will not be installed. What exactly does this mean? It sounds troublesome -- I can't overwrite existing Subversion libraries. Additional Perl libraries are fine.

[gentoo-user] How do I get the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776-r1 back?

Subject: [gentoo-user] Upgraded kernel from .17 to .23 and
all sorts of broken things... (nvidia, splash, iptables)
I had to upgrade my kernel from linux-2.6.17-gentoo-r8 to
linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r9
Now all sorts of things are broken.
First and foremost, I used to use:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776-r1
But I can't re-emerge that now -- it's gone!? WTF!?
[I] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
Available versions: 71.86.01 (~)71.86.04 96.43.01 (~)96.43.05

Description: NVIDIA X11 driver and GLX libraries
So, I tried to emerge whatever the latest stable one was and
it told me that
I was fsck'd and to mask out =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-97.0.0.
Re-emerge again, and it gives me 96.43.05.
Now when I start X, I have a @#(*[EMAIL PROTECTED] blank/black screen! UGH!
What now? How do I get back the only working driver for this
piece of crap
GeForce 440 Go card that is apparently unsupported now in
newer drivers.
(It's in a Dell i8200 notebook -- I CAN'T replace the card BTW)
So this page finally loaded today:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Video_Card_Support_Under_XGL#nVidia
And it says:
nVidia GeForce 4 Go 440 32Mb (with latest
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774)
So again, how can I get this driver back since it seems to be missing from
portage now?! *sigh*

For the past few months (many months) I've had the 'gnome-panel' lock up on me. Nothing is clearly causing this. Rebuilding has not seemed to help. Of course, what to rebuild? Everything? I've seen this issue a few times and found that the esound daemon was to blame. Killing just that got things back in a workeable state again.

Re: [gentoo-user] How do I get the x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776-r1 back?

I emerge again, and it gives me 96.43.05. Now when I start X, I have a blank/black screen. This driver is NOT working with my card. I know. I didn't say you should use it, I just told you that Nvidia claim it should work with your card, which indicates the fault may lie elsewhere than the driver version. I also told you where to get the 8774 driver, did you try that? -- Neil Bothwick WinErr 00A: Promotional literature overflow - Mailbox full signature.asc Description: PGP signature
