Good afternoon,
While working in X, my monitor automatically shuts off after 10 minutes
idle. That is expected behavior. However, I've found my increasingly

possible to have it power off after a certain idle time?

Good morning,
Something that's been bothering me, although not that much, for about 3
years now. I've never investigated, and perhaps the answer is simple,
but every distro I've used (RH9, FC1, FC2, Suse 9.1, and now Gentoo),
has not shown the tiny blinking drive activity indicator on the front of

Good evening all,
I figured it was about time to start the Guarddog firewall script
automatically, instead of always typing /etc/rc.firewall. The obvious
thing to do was add it to /etc/conf.d/local.start. Easy enough. But it

Good afternoon all,
Is there a simple way to determine the order initscripts are executed,
taking into account ineed, iuse, before, etc...? Perhaps something that
would show a tree structure similar to emerge -auDt.
Thanks,
John

Good evening,
I've been fighting the install of OOo rc3 for a few days now. Everything

Good morning all,
I've been running the binary versions of oo for about three months now,
while waiting for v2.0 to become stable. It looks pretty close to me.

worried about what the pulling in of Gnome dependencies will do do my

I have the following 2 entries in /etc/conf.d/local.start
