Jason A. Booth wrote: On Sunday 11 June 2006 00:00, Teresa and Dale wrote: DontVTSwitch not found.. but much love for trying.. It was worth a look I guess. As to stopping emerge to logout and such, emerge screen and give it a try. When you want to run a program, such as emerge, that will take a while and you may want to leave it running in the background, you just type in screen -S name that is short and hit enter. Then type in your command. If you want to detach or go away while it is still running, just do a ctrl a then hit d. Screen takes a bit of getting used to but it comes in real handy sometimes. I use it for long compiles, OOo, KDE or the like. When you want to reconnect to check on it, just type in screen -r name you gave earlier. Here is a example of mine right now: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # screen -list There are screens on: 10057.emerge(Detached) 30183.FAH1 (Detached) 2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-root. [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # I have two screens running, one for folding, one for a emerge -e system that I started a bit ago. If I want to check on the emerge one, I just type in screen -r emerge and it comes right up. Hope that helps. Maybe you can get the other sorted soon. Oh, check /etc/inittab and make sure these are in there: # TERMINALS c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux c2:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty2 linux c3:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty3 linux c4:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty4 linux c5:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty5 linux c6:2345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty6 linux That is what gives you those consoles. They should NOT be commented out though. Other than this, I can't think of anything else, unless a key is out on your keyboard. ;-) Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Here is a link: http://www.wyse.com/products/gpt/wy55es.asp I used to sit at one of those and it gets old. The beep that thing has drove me nuts. We had a IBM system with a blazing fast 25MHz single CPU. We had about 180 people running off that along with about 40 printers. Some of the printers were Genicom 4440's. Geez they were fast. That's what I remember that being for. Hope I'm right. Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
