[gentoo-user] Question about 2006.0 and order of NIC detection

2006-04-10 Thread Sieb, Glenn E (Glenn)
Hi everyone! Relatively new to Gentoo. Been more of a FreeBSD guy the past few years, but current job is setting up Gentoo boxes, so I get to learn a bunch of new stuff (yay!). Machine in question has an Intel gig-E PCI card (e1000 driver) and two Tigron gig-E ports built into the motherboard

[gentoo-user] Quick vnc question..

2006-04-11 Thread Sieb, Glenn E (Glenn)
Hi everyone! I'm looking for a little app called vncconfig--everything seems to point that this should be a part of RealVNC's package, net-misc/vnc. Unfortunately, it seems that the package is only the viewer, when I need the server as well. Is there a package that has vncconfig in it that's

Hi everyone :) In installprofile.xml, there's an option to list packages you want installed in a space-delimited format. Just wondering--can I specify *versions* there? Like: app-admin/logrotate-x.xx app-admin/sudo-y.yy app-admin/syslog-ng-z.zz app-admin/sysstat-q.qq and so forth (where

[gentoo-user] Hotpluggable SATA question...

2006-04-21 Thread Sieb, Glenn E (Glenn)
Hmm. I have servers using the SuperMicro P8SCT motherboard, which supports hot-pluggable SATA drives. In Gentoo they show as being SCSI, fine, no problem with that. If I hotplug a drive into the chassis--it powers up, but Gentoo doesn't see it until reboot. Has anyone else used
