[gentoo-user] Is Gentoo going to represent at SCALE 8x?
Seeing if there is plan in place to man a booth and, if not, get interest in manning one.

squawked:
you can make it even easier:
create:
/etc/portage/env/PKG_CATEGORY
put patch in that directory
create file:
/etc/portage/PKG_CATEGORY/PKGNAME
with this:
post_src_prepare() {
epatch /etc/portage/env/PKG_CATEGORY/NAMEOF:PATCH
}
Ooh, I didn't know that. I've gotta go write it down somewhere.
Thanks.
learned that from Nicos (RealNC) ;)
Similar, but slightly different:
I have a patch in file /etc/portage/patches/chkrootkit.patch
and in file /etc/portage/env/app-forensics/chkrootkit is
post_src_unpack() {
epatch /etc/portage/patches/chkrootkit.patch
}
Portage automagically finds the script in .../env/... and applies the
patch!

Now I can see that the associated help says it is for an amount between 1 and 4GB. Depends on the split used. With 2 GB : 2 GB you can have all-lowmem 1.5 GB RAM, without CONFIG_HIGHMEM*. 2 GB of per-process address space is usually not a problem. How do you implement that? What do you mean 2GB:2GB split ?
[gentoo-user] redirect connections to localhost
Hi. Is there a way to redirect TCP connections from external network interfaces to the local/loopback in network 127.0.0.0/8? I need functionality like DNAT target in iptables.
Re: [gentoo-user] Install Gentoo 64bit from 32bit running enviroment
I'm pretty sure chrooting to 64bit from 32 bit kernel won't work, so you'll have to reboot into a 64 bit environment.
