No, not for that use, but for other uses, yes. But you need to specify

I wouldn't go the road and use LFS, as suggested here. IMHO, LFS is
absolutely not the way to go when in need for security updates and
stuff. Gentoo does it just fine.
OTOH, you won't be able to run Tomcat with 64MB of RAM without it

My suggestion would be to setup a master chroot environment on some
crafty machine and compile binary packages for all the software you
need, then distribute them to the VMs by setting up stage3's and set
PORTAGE_BINHOST appropriately. If you want to strip down documentation,
locales and stuff, have a look at the scripting facilities of portage:

It is free and if you don't like it you could just replace it with another one which would serve you better. If you also need reverse resolving then you have to ask your ISP to put your domain name in their DNS. HTH P.S.

Another approach:
When linux loads the modules it assigns the names by the order of
loading. If the module for the Intel NIC is loaded first it becomes
eth0, the next NIC whose module is loaded becomes eth1 and so on.
If you have your drivers built into the kernel then the names are
related to the PCI slots - the NIC connected to the PCI with lowest
number become eth0 and so on. So you could change their places on the
main board.

The magic of Samba/CIFS is that the other computer have absolutely *No Clue* what the *underlying* filesystem on the physical drive is - they don't care, and they don't need to care, as the Samba server on the Gentoo side takes care of all of that. The filesystem on the client side (the Windows box - NTFS) won't make any difference whatsoever when transferring files to the Samba share, as Samba is Samba is Samba - no matter the underlying physical filesystem that the Samba share is from.

[gentoo-user] [OT]Real compute cycles in a laptop?
Hi, I'm in the market for a new laptop. I sold mine about a year ago and it's time to get a new one. I will run both Linux and Win XP on the machine. The Linux workload will not be anything substantial but when in Win XP I have a program that I'll be running that is very compute bound on my only XP desktop machine. Does anyone know of good comparative data on BogoMIPs in Linux vs. real compute speed for different processors? I'm looking for some way to compare different processors in the laptops I'm looking at vs. my current XP desktop which is my slowest machine. The application under Windows is doing neural network stuff. I have no idea how much of it is floating point based but my assumption is that is a pretty big part of the whole picture. Is the AMD FPU still superior to the Intel FPU or are they at parity these days? The current machine has 768MB. The application never uses more than 256MB and there is no significant disk I/O but the processor sits at 100% in XP for hours doing it's work optimizing the neural network.

Then from the windows XP where the conversion application resides find the source file and give the destination of the mpeg files onto one of the NTFS partitions on the win box. Time that run then do it with two windows XP boxes with source on one and conversion tools on the other. time that run and compare.

Re: [gentoo-user] X crashes randomly
try a revdep-rebuilt. A lot of such crashs are caused by some changed dependencies. (oh, and you can remove the BusID line from your xorg.conf. It won't make your problem go away, but you don't need it too. Or do you have several cards installed?). -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] USB mass storage - WD My Book
Greetings. Wondering if anyone can help me out on this. I got a Western Digital My Book, 500G -- and it's not happy with my main computer. I tried it on a Windows system and my other computer, running 2.6.17-r8, and it's happy there. So the drive is working. However on this box, running 2.6.12-r6 I get the messages below from dmesg. I should mention that I can not mount the drive on the 2.6.12 box, but it mounts fine on the 2.6.17 system. The error messages start shorty (a minute or so) after plugging the device in and doing nothing else. If I try to mount it: Mon Nov 06 22:18:38 ~ root $ mount /dev/sda /mnt/500G/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type Mon Nov 06 22:20:39 ~ root $ mount /dev/sda /mnt/500G/ -t vfat mount: special device /dev/sda does not exist --- root $ cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 120060864 hda 3 1 13671976 hda1 3 2 13672008 hda2 3 3 13672008 hda3 3 4 1 hda4 3 5 13671976 hda5 3 6 976720 hda6 3 7 64396048 hda7 33 0 293057352 hde 33 1 489951 hde1 33 2 1 hde2 33 5 979933 hde5 33 65855661 hde6 33 7 11719386 hde7 33 87815591 hde8 33 9 266188986 hde9 34 0 160086528 hdg 34 1 160079661 hdg1 8 0 488386584 sda 8 1 488375968 sda1 - I mention kernel versions as that is my first guess about the problem. I'm currently compiling 2.6.17-r8 for this box to see if that makes any difference. I might be barking up the wrong tree however. I've also done a bit of googleing for that error message, nothing helpful there. This computer works fine with 2G and 6G usb memory sticks, also works fine with my ipod, and I've used a digital camera -- thus I know that usb works in general. As always, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Re: [gentoo-user] X crashes randomly
Hi, I would try without any of these: Option AllowGLXWithComposite true Option AddARGBGLXVisuals true Section Extensions Option Composite true EndSection You say that you are not running packages in ~arch and I must believe so, but that config seems to similar to this of people running nvidia beta drivers and beryl or something like that. Anyway, this Backtrace: 0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x71) [0x480171] 1: /lib/libc.so.6 [0x2b31e4b055d0] 2: /usr/bin/X [0x50e7ec] 3: /usr/bin/X [0x50eb53] 4: /usr/bin/X [0x50acea] 5: /usr/bin/X [0x500916] 6: /usr/bin/X(Dispatch+0x1b9) [0x448249] 7: /usr/bin/X(main+0x44d) [0x43103d] 8: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf4) [0x2b31e4af3134] 9: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xa1) [0x430339] Does not seem glx or nvidia related at all, but still try without composite, in case it help. You config seems sane, indeed. Jesús. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Thank you. A Okay, at least the simle one is out of the way. I would suggest either kernel version or the built modules are your problem. You are already trying updated kernel version, maybe that will do it. If not stick it in the working computer and do an 'lsmod'. Identify which modules are used by the device. Then make sure those modules are built and loaded on the non-working system. usb 1-6: device descriptor read/8, error -110 scsi: Device offlined - not ready after error recovery: host 7 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 scsi7 (0:0): rejecting I/O to offline device printk: 522 messages suppressed.
