If i was to remove the source packages would i break portage? once before i tried removing the sources in portage and nothing would install anymore. The unpacked sources are not stored anywhere; they are unpacked during the build phase, and after that only the compressed version is kept, in /usr/portage/distfiles, and it's perfectly safe to delete everything inside that directory. Of course, keep in mind that if you delete the sources for a package, the next time portage needs them it will have to redownload them. So, if you don't have an internet connection deleting the sources might break something, in case you want to recompile a package for which the source tarball has been deleted. -- You start coding.

Re: [gentoo-user] ATAPI burning doesn't work
I am not talking about coasters, but the scsi emulation loops one has to jump through, long howtos that are so generic they leave the average user groping in the dark. Kernel devs having arguments with the developer of the main cd burning tool and not sitting down and mapping a way forward so the user is left having to burn as root, or using patches designed to bypass the problem. Some ways to address a burner used DMA, some dont allow it. Some systems can use /dev/hdX, some require magick in the form of /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, others as ATAPI:0,0,0 but not all are equal and not all will work depending on kernel and software versions. Then if you sort it out and finally get burning again, you upgrade the kernel and find it doesnt work, so you start again ... Then there's the software itself - I used to like gcombust, simple reliable and it worked - then it couldnt deal with the non-scsi stuff. Then I found nautilus-cd-burner - great for the quick job. The kernel mess cured me of that (I will go back to it when it starts working again). I have now settled on k3b, but I wonder how long that will keep working ... This is worse on gentoo than systems like Mandrake and redhat because their philosophy allows them to modify the upstream software for their users in ways that are difficult for gentoo to do (i.e., patch around the kernel nonsense which I presume they have done because CD burning just seems to work for them. I setup my first burner in the Mandrake 6 days - that was a nightmare! They now simplify things for their users - I am not saying gentoo should go this route, but cd-burning has far to much black magic involved at the moment. Sorry if I sound a bit bitter, but this is a real pain for the average user (gentoo or otherwise). And dont say if you tweak this and tune that it will work, thats bunk, of course I do that I do that, and it will work, but not for long. Its fixing the whole CD burning mess thats needed.

[gentoo-user] 3Com 3C996B-T: Software shows 1000Mbps, get 100Mbps or less speeds
Sorry if this is a repost, it seems to have disappeared into the bit bucket. I put a 3Com 3C996B-T 1000Mbps NIC in my system. It uses the tg3 (broadcom) driver, which I have compiled in. The kernel messages show the link at 1000. The light on the NIC shows this. The lights on the switch show this. ethtool eth1 shows this. However mii-tool eth1 shows 100. Also, the speeds I get over it (FTPing directly to eth1's address) are the same as 100Mbps or lower. Eth0 is a 100Mbps card, and is also the default route. Could incoming FTP connections, even directly connecting to eth1's IP, end up forced over eth0 (100Mbps) somehow? I can't think of another reason. Even then, I find it strange that mii-tool reports eth1 as 100Mbps. Any ideas? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] ATAPI burning doesn't work
I look after multiple systems (all gentoo/doze at the moment, but other distros -except debian - over the past ~10 years) Trust me, there are a lot of failures in amongst the success stories like yours. I am not saying things have not improved (/dev/hdX is nice when it works), often a clean, new install will work out of the box (like yours) but its the whole thing that needs attention, standardisation and a general cleanup. I would also wait until your install has aged a couple of years or so like some of mine (first gentoo was 1.0, still going though has been incrementally upgraded to a current 2.6) and look back on the travails you have had! If you just installed it and it works, are you using 2.6 or 2.4, scsi,ATAPI,hdX,/dev/cdroms/cdromX and is it working with/without DMA, can you burn as a user, does the users favourite CD burning software work, how about multiple users. If all this works, you are quite lucky in my experience of the current state of the art. Windoze users are luckier in this way - theirs mostly just works - though I have had cases where I had to reinstall the whole OS in order to get it to work with users because of permission problems with the initial install of a package!
