Hey guys
I'm Strugling to set up wireless, have recompiled kernel to include wireless
i have folowed all the documentation and read and folowed tutorials on
gentoo wiki and also i have folowed the /net.examples and wireless.examples
but it keeps giving me errors when i want to start
I have a 20 inch aluminum imac:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7300 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I'm using the in-kernel alsa drivers. I have tried compiling into the
kernel and as modules. I cannot get
# emerge alsa-util alsa oss
Sorry, that should be alsa-oss
~daid
# emerge alsa-util alsa oss
...and alsa-utils
I should go to sleep...
So this is one of those times where why words come back to haunt me?? :-)
What I think I shall do first, is downgrade binutils to 1.19.x and rebuild a
few apps I've noticed that are affected. I think the odds of success are
pretty good. If not, well, a reinstall-rebuild is the certain route
I tried closely comparing the current working kernel with newly built
one. I mean side by side with `make menuconfig' running in both sources.
I cannot tell what it is I'm overlooking.
Please do not do this. Instead emerge kccmp to compare kernel
configurations! It is much easier...trust
There are files in /var /tmp which I can't remove:

Can anyone help ?
Did you try removing it from a live Linux distro (ie: on a USB stick)?
Or if it lets you move it, maybe you can move it to the temporary file

The stick will be used in MSWindows mainly.

What editor do you prefer, then?
I have been making a little effort in the last year or two to come to grips
with vi or vim, and am starting to prefer it, but ISTM that the problem with
traditional Unix editors (i.e. vi emacs) is that they depend upon learning
obscure keyboard shortcuts.
Apparently I have bodged the setup somehow on this system.
Each time I plug in a flash drive, two Nautilus windows open up. If I plug
three USB drives in, six windows open.
Any ideas please, to smooth this minor wrinkle?
