[gentoo-user] Updating a package on a box with no network
Hi All, I am trying to update a single package (gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2) on a machine that has no network (borked NIC driver).

I'm not entirely sure windows 'bridging' is equivalent to linux Ethernet bridging. Specifically, wouldn't linux Ethernet bridging require external IP addresses for all the computers behind the bridge? The ISP's router isn't going to know how to route packets back to you on a private address, is it? Furthermore, don't you want a firewall between your LAN and the internet? Even if your ISP will hand out DHCP leases to your internal hosts (I _think_ those will pass through an Ethernet bridge), it would mean that all those hosts are gonna be sitting on the Internet. Probably not an especially good idea. Of course, you could run a firewall on the bridge (transparent bridging firewall) but I don't think that's wise. For one thing, all the problems you suffer from currently are probably going to surface again. For another, transparent firewalls are allegedly difficult to configure and very tricky to troubleshoot. At any rate, I bet the iptables module does something. My guess is that if you can figure out how to properly configure it, it will work for you. Although there's no guarantee, this is certainly something to work on. Another option is adding another network device to the server. Plug one into the ISP and two into the internal switch. Bridge the external and one internal. Firewall the other internal. Route phone traffic to the bridge, rest through the firewall.

Re: [gentoo-user] Suspend or sleep *ON A DESKTOP PC*?
Am Samstag 18 August 2007 23:57:02 schrieb b.n.: Walter Dnes ha scritto: This is getting frustrating. All my searching turns up stuff that involves responding to some event that is triggered by closing the lid on a laptop. That is obviously not going to happen on a desktop PC. I've got a few reasons for wanting the desktop to suspend, or at least sleep... 1) Save wear and tear on the drive for the major part of the day when I'm not using the machine 2) Ontario (especially Toronto) runs close to the limit of electrical capacity during hot summer days and the authorities want us to conserve 3) Did I mention that I've just moved to a newer condo, where every suite is on their own electrical meterg ? Normal rebooting is a pain, because I usually run with 3 or 4 text consoles logged in for different functions, as well as an X session. So what do I have to do to get a *DESKTOP* PC to suspend to disk (preferred) or to ram (second choice)? Really interesting issue. If you are successful and can come up with an HOWTO, drop a mail here :) By the way, why suspend-to-ram is second choice? Shouldn't it be much faster? I don't know that much about suspend issues (heck, I even don't have a laptop), so I'd like to know. m. My experience (partly on Windows): Whether or not suspend-to-ram is significantly faster depends on how good it is implemented by the BIOS. On my desktops, it's not. You have to go through the whole POST and onboard controller initialization (a real pain if they come with an own BIOS). Therefore you can only skip Grub and reading the image by choosing STR. On my laptop, STR is much faster. It doesn't take more than a few seconds. Suspend-to-disk can easily be tweaked to be quiet fast: 1. Configure grub for a short timeout and/or an appropriate default setting. 2. activate suspend2's lzo compression (refer to their documentation or the gentoo-wiki for details) to reduce the amount of data written and read from disk Additionally, suspend-to-disk has got the advantage that the image is preserved as long as its location (swap or file) is not touched. That means, you can use it for dual boot and then resume where you stopped. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
