If You have somewhere running PXE configuration, You can run liveCD remotely from some pretend-nfs-serwer. I've done that using simple pxe-configuration as follows : LABEL gentoo-nfs menu label ^Gentoo over NFS KERNEL gentoo/gentoo APPEND initrd=gentoo/gentoo.igz ip=dhcp root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.1:/srv/nfs/gentoo And files gentoo and gentoo.igz was copied from live-cd i suppose, and /dev/nfs was was livecd as far as i remember.

I have both kde-3.5.10 and kde-4.1.2 and there are a couple of small
incompatibilities... and that's why they are still masked. If I recall
right... I had to upgrade to the latest ~x86 portage and then I had to iron
out kopete for both versions of kde... No show stoppers, but there are a few
issues you'll have to iron out.

to not to try kde-4.1.2.

I'm sure there are many exotic options to choose from, but I'd rather not have to learn too much new stuff to get this done. Can anyone recommend a simple method? I have a wired/wireless LAN/internet connection and 3 systems on the LAN running Gentoo. No USB drive though. - Grant
Re: [gentoo-user] start-stop-daemon sets USER=root - expected behaviour?
2008/10/6 Erik Hahn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > No, it simply shouldn't change them, there's no reason to do that (to my > knowledge). If start-stop-daemon is executed by a normal user it should either not change the user to root or deny the execution if the user is not root. I think it is a big security issue if a normal user could start arbitrary daemons with root privileges. So you should file a bug at bugs.gentoo.org or better a new ticket at roy.marples.name/projects/openrc/wiki. I think only root should be able to execute start-stop-daemon and the user should be changed with the proper command line switches. I actually don't know if it is --chuid or --user as this has changed between old baselayout and new openrc. -- Regards, Daniel

On my ~x86, I had to add:
~app-misc/strigi-0.5.11
to etc/portage/package.unmask/autounmask-kde-meta to resolve a blocking
issue between strigi-0.5.10 and strigi-0.5.11
app-misc/strigi:0
('installed', '/', 'app-misc/strigi-0.5.11', 'nomerge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'kde-base/libplasma-4.1.2', 'merge')
('ebuild', '/', 'app-misc/strigi-0.5.10', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-4.1.2', 'merge')
('ebuild', '/', 'kde-base/nepomuk-4.1.2', 'merge')
('ebuild', '/', 'kde-base/kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer-4.1.2', 'merge')
(and 4 more)
BTW, I also changed all of the '=' to '~' to catch any future revs...
Compiling now...
HTH,
