Matt AFAIR USE=java?? There is big warning message when compiling openoffice.org without java. More or less it says HELP won't work. HTH, Radek. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem installing GRUB
Marco Schuler napisał(a): Hi all, after using other distributions for years I finally decided to go with gentto to have to most flexibility. So here I am :-) I got trough the gentoo installation up to the point of installing grub. After the command 'grub-install /dev/hda' my machine hangs displaying the following meassage: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time I already searched the net to find a solution. The only thing I could find was on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml The comment on my problem: One reported cause was an exotic configuration of disk devices, like ultra/non-ultra DMA disks on one cable. I am installing on my notebook (only one HD) so the hint above did not help me very much... Any hint or tips? Thanks a lot in advance! Hi, Do you have floppy drive? I am not sure what was actuall message of grub while trying to probe non-existent floppy drive but try running it with --no-floppy switch. I've seen broken grub-install scripts that did not respect this though. If so, then your only option is to try to install grub manually by using 'grub' command (search the web for details).

[gentoo-user] Acecad tablet on gentoo
Hello, I have a tablet which is supposed to work with acecad driver. To be specific - it is Pentagram Quadpen tablet which seems to be simply rebranded acecad tablet (windows drivers come from acecad directly). I was able to (sort of) run the tablet but when I move the stylus over the tablet the cursor goes berserk and jumps all over the window, pushing random buttons. I know I should post here my X11 config but I am not currently in front of my gentoo box, I just thought somebody had similar problem and can help me. I can send more details in the afternoon. Thanks, Radek. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I would like to replace sendmail with something not so...shall we say prehistoric? I've been advised many times to do so on this list and others. Would anyone please give me some recommendations for a new choice of mail server? I'd like one with plenty if documentation. For my money I would say run postfix. Michael S: I agree with Michael C. I've been running postfix for several years. It's easy to use and it works! More than that I don't want/need (though I do use mailman with it to handle the bogofilter mailing lists). Hi, I have few (small) sites that run postfix under my control and I also would recommend it. However if you require some advanced features from postfix (anti-virus, spamassassin etc.) then be prepared for few surprises on upgrade and looking through configuration files + documentation + changelog. Once it cought me with my pants down and left my sites for few days without mail until I found source of the problem. Still, postfix is the best IMVHO.
