Hi,
dunno if I'm interested in testing it, but I have a similar script,
made mostly in bash. So if you made one also I'm interested in looking
into it (I might be able to copy something from it :D)
Indeed, it is a naked bash script. The
Wicd require wpa_supplicant because that's what it uses, not you. Wicd
does all the hard work, you just give it the password etc. and let it get
on with things.
What is hard with wpa_supplicant? It is just three lines:
wpa_passphrase ssid [passphrase] /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
Hello,
yesterday I was working on an installer skript for Gentoo.
What does it do?
* It does the basic installation until you can reboot and login.
* That includes formatting of the given partitions.
* That includes compiling a genkernel.
* It is developed and tested on Ubuntu.

Apparently, though unproven, at 23:25 on Wednesday 18 August 2010, Elmar Hinz

Thank you all.
Even than, LINGUAS has rather to do with OpenOffice.
Has it anything to do with portage at all?
Several packages, not just OpenOffice, can include/support different
languages. Portage uses the value of LINGUAS to tell these packages
which languages to include/support.
When Portage
No, I think you're mixing up compile-time and run-time values -- and
also reading too much into the file names. make.conf should really
rather be called portage.conf. That would make much more sense IMHO.

As long as the source is the documentation, it should be possible by
concept to

On the other hand LINGUAS is still a general variable AFAIK and not
portage specific.
LINGUAS is strictly portage-specific.
Really?
Researching the web I understand it origins from gettext and portage
has implemented it. If I understand right, it would
With new enough kernel sources (gentoo-sources in stable are good
enough), there is `make localmodconfig` which removes all mods from your
current .config which are not loaded.
There is also `make localyesconfig` which does the same but doesn't
create modules.
Hope this helps,
Yes. Sounds

1.) Is there a Map: modules to configration parameters?
lspci -k lists me all modules of the running genkernel.
Unfortunately the configuration parameters of the kernel have
different names.
2.) Which approach would you recommend?
To customize the kernel I can either strip down the

A friend recently gave me a SimpleTech Zeus 8GB SSD. I'd like to replace my
hard drive with this SSD for the lower latency and faster access times it
will provide.
Currently my / partition is 24GB, 20GB of which is in use. Using xdiskusage

I am new in Gentoo. I installed Gnome.

I would suggest using Wicd [0] and disable all !net.* rc scripts
AFAIK Wicd is just a graphical frontend to wpa_supplicant.
So I would recommend to try wpa_supplicant on the command line to get
full feedback.
And once the card is running you maybe don't really need a graphical
frontend at
@ CJoeB
It can be really hard. I needed days. There is more than one difficulty.
For example I needed to set my laptop type in the kernel (asus_laptop).
Without that, the card is not turned on at all, even if the card driver itself
is loaded.
Then you need to compile the password for

Then you need to compile the password for wpa_supplicant with
wpa_password.
It doesn´t take the plain passphrase.
It does for me;
For pre-shared keys
psk=plainpassphrase
For .1x/EAP
password=plainpassphrase
Interesting. I'll give it a try.
By the way, what I really wanted to say is:
