sidebar smime smtp ssl -kerberos -nntp -qdbm -selinux -slang

I use Maildir, therefore I think mbox flag is useless.

Sorry :( If you have: TTYPERM 0666 And logout and login. What mode and ownership do you have in you tty (/dev/ttyX)? Ok, Matti, 0666 worked, now I can run screen as a user. Thanks. Do you think I have to try to run it 0660? Will it be less security risk? Well 0666 = 666. The reason it now worked is because you logged out and then back in. This is becaus login program only reads the /etc/login.defs-file when you login. I pretty much sure that I logged out and logged in back after setting to 666 and it didn't work, but setting to 0666 has worked. Strange. With mode 0666 every user on your computer can read everything (every character) you have in your screen (so not much privacy). If you set: TTYGROUP utmp TTYPERM 0660 And have: -rwxr-sr-x root utmp /usr/bin/screen Everything will also work and you have more privacy. I'll be the only user on this system. So I guess I can leave it as it is. When /bin/login us run it changes ownership of the tty to the user who logs in. Su -l does not do this. That is why the screen doesn't work. ConsoleKit is the program that is responsible for many of these permission changes. Do you have that installed? I think ConsoleKit was installed when I emerged screen, but I am not sure. -- -Matti -- German gentger...@gmail.com

You tell portage to not pull in unneeded dependencies by setting the
appropriate USE flags. The people you are asking for assistance will
determine this by reading the ebuild, or by using the appropriate
portage tools to figure it out. You should start learning these skills
yourself so you can answer your own questions.
1. Run eix-e networkmanager. There is nothing there related to x11.
eix-e: command not found. What to do?
2. Read the ebuild for networkmanager-1.0.0. There is nothing in there
related to x11, so that's not it.
3. Run emerge -pvt networkmanager. This will give an indented view of
what is pulling in what. Find the entries of x11-proto etc and see what
is pulling them in. Investigate those packages to disable x11.

It comes with CLI tools but it's usually used with a frontend GUI. See

Untar stage3 and portage snapshot to it (snapshot is faster than rsync). Chroot. Emerge portage and grub. I copied kernel from my old system to /boot. If you don't have this build a new one.

What worked: Typing blind after waiting for a while to make sure the CD had booted up to set up the root passwd and then to start sshd, allowed to access the PC over sshd and commence the installation. Of course, this will only work if your PC is connected to the LAN. I have no solution at the moment for air-gapped machines. On the keyboard type blind: passwd root my_secret_root_passwd my_secret_root_passwd /etc/init.d/sshd restart Then find the IP address of the new PC. In my case arping and some guessing of the next IP that the router would have issued worked, but you can use arp- scan, nmap, or some such tool, or even check your router's dhcp tables. Then ssh root@new PC's IP, enter the passwd you set up above and you're good to go with the installation, following the hand book and the wiki suggestions for UEFI. Thanks for suggestion, Mick.

If you have your /dev/sda only for Gentoo, you would install grub into /dev/sda and have /dev/sda1 for /boot, for example: /dev/sda1: /boot /dev/sda2: / The bios will load grub from mbr of /dev/sda and since you specify that grub can find it's stuff on /dev/sda1 (root), it can continue to find the kernel, etc.. Once found, it can load the kernel and mount root, because it's the kernel parameter. For example: root(hd0,0) setup (hd0) Check out http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/legacy/grub.html#Installing-GRUB-na tively Or for grub2: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2 https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Installation/Bootloader http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/GRUB2_Quick_Start You can also have your /boot and / on the same partition. All of this is good advice, but ONLY IF the MoBo has been configured to boot in CMS/Legacy_BIOS mode. Otherwise, UEFI will bail out at boot time because it does neither read, nor use the MBR bootloader. Depending on the boot options provided by the motherboard, the hard drive can be configured to boot in legacy-BIOS using an MBR, in UEFI mode using an ESP partition, or both depending on the BIOS selection at boot time. -- Regards, Mick

If you're building on the target machine, use the native CFLAG. It
has been around for a while. It detects the CPU, and builds for it
automagically. You don't have to do any more grunt work, figuring out
the flags for your CPU. Computers are supposed to do the hard work. I
use...
FLAGS=-O2 -march=native -mfpmath=sse -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe
-fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
Mind you, if you're cross-compiling on another system, and then moving
the binaries over, you will have to figure out the correct flags. See
below for a method.
Another problem is that there are also cpu-specific USE flags. You
can get a good start on figuring them out, as well as CFLAGS, by running
grep flags /proc/cpuinfo
on the target machine. There will be one line of output for each core.
You'll have multiple identical lines of output.
