Is there a finite number of passes the program needs to make? I left it running for six hours yesterday and it had done something like 11+ passes without finding an error. Is that anywhere near long enough?

I dont want it to be launch at boot, but I dont want to delete it either because it eases some things when I want to bring eth0 up. My problem is although i del it from the boot process with rc-update, net.eth0 is attempted to be brought up by some other tool. When no cable is plugged, it slows as hell the boot process. The message is device initiated services: net.eth0. Then bringing up attempt comes. who the hell is trying to bring it up? The answer is here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2520311 /etc/conf.d/rc - RC_PLUG_SERVICES= + RC_PLUG_SERVICES=!net.* -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list I tend to set the eth0 dhcpcd timeout at ~5 seconds. The DHCP server I usually use (the gentoo based server under my desk!) always responds within 5 seconds. When I'm out and about and using/borrowing a wireless connection it means that it only slows the boot process by 5 seconds and doesnt require me to manually enable or disable eth0. David Note: These views are my own, advice is provided with no guarantee of success. I do not represent anyone else in any emails I send to this list. it might be a nice idea to look into how knoppix backgrounds the dhcp process and implement that into Gentoo's init, i think i did get annoyed with the dhcp process taking ages a few years back and just put a '' at the end of the dhcp line, i cant remember if this worked or not tho. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] ssh2 and xover LAN
yea sounds like it, however, ping uses ICMP and file transfer applications normally use TCP i have had one case where a computer could ping stuff but nothing else because the tcp stacked was messed up and only icmp was working... was a winXP box tho lol . !

Re: [gentoo-user] Arrrgggh!! rm -Rf /proc
Will rm -Rf /proc hose a system? I didn't run rm -Rf /proc directly, but I did do it indirectly. I had mount --bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc and then forgot about it. I then ran rm -Rf /mnt/gentoo to start a stage 3 again forgetting that /boot and /proc were both mount --bind[ed] to /mnt/gentoo. Could this hose my system? I don't want to reboot yet if it could. I want to fix what ever I can. Grrr, I just looked and /boot/ is wiped clean! I guess I can redo grub and I still have my kernel under /usr/src. What about /proc? Would running rm -Rf /proc kill anything? mlaptop proc # rm -rfv /proc/config.gz rm: cannot remove `/proc/config.gz': Operation not permitted are you sure ? proc is like a dynamic filesystem they aren't really files just virtual files that the kernel are displaying ... if you some how have whiped proc you can probuly just ... mount -o remount /proc n it will be fine... give ... mkdir /mnt/proc mount -t proc proc /mnt/proc a little seein' too ;) but no you should be fine .. as for /boot .. you silly billy :) hehe! and just be thankful you didn't get the wrong terminal and remove your current filesystem, lol Matt.

[gentoo-user] Same setup different machine
Hello, I use gentoo for X11 and diskless clients (aswell as other things) and was just wondering if its possiable to make an existing server spit out a list of packages that are currently installed so i can copy to a new server and have it install everything without me having to go through spending lots of time running emerge lots of times. Thanks, Matt. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
