Re: [gentoo-user] Discover IP address of random Windows boxes on network?

You could try findsmb, its part of samba.  It will list all systems
which respond to netbios requests, on your network.

Extra points if there's a way to discover if a machine has attached by
wireless.

Thanks,

Re: [gentoo-user] Booting up without X

You should just be able to pass the nox kernel
command line option at boot, the xdm init script,
from baselayout, contains a line which checks the
kernel command line for the xdm parameter.

  I want to add a grub menu entry that will load
  the system without
  starting gdm, just like the livecd does when the
  'nox' kernel parameter is
  passed. I poked around the CD a bit to figure out
  how that's done but
  failed. Does the kernel have to be modified to do
  this? Thanks for any
  pointers.
