[gentoo-user] Myspell and Linguas variable
Hey Was just going to install my dictionaries for myspell, when I was wondering why myspell doesn't pull in the dictionaries depending on the languages in the LINGUAS variable in make.conf ?? - This method wouldn't require the user to be aware of the dictionaries when uninstalling myspell (or what ever might be depending on it) Just a thought to make the world just a little bit easier Thomas -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Everyone makes mistakes, and it is can be good to point them out, though I do think this thread is a bit of overkill - a private message to the person who made the mistake is usually enough. The problem with pointing it out privately is that that doesn't educate anyone else - thus it's more work to point it out privately to the next person, and the next, and one has to continue suffering hijacked threads in the meantime. I think this thread appears overkill because I used ALL-CAPS in the subject, which has propagated to the replies. I won't do that again in the future, and apologise if this has led some of you to believe I was having a go at the original hjacker. I was perhaps terse in my request, but did not intend to be rude. Stroller. To be honest I never had a look at if I was the orignal hjacker or not ... think I was, or at least have done it in the past But anyways, never thought anyone has a go on me, just glad I know a bit more about how to compose new messages, to make everyone happy :-) (Just to take this further; you good argue that the mail clients is using a wrong method of detecting these threads, cause it depends on the users' habits. I guess most of us choose the reply-button, cause it' easier than having to look-up the email address. But yeah things are like they are, and I'll use the compose button from now on, so everyone is happy :), hope others is following my lead...) Thomas -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] HIJACKING THREADS
Two points: 1) Yeah you're right about not living in a glass house, and make a big deal out of nothing ;) 2) Thanks for letting us know about the differences about clicking reply and compose new ... I'm actually sure not all of us was aware about this difference Just a comment... Thomas -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] My Book® Home Edition™
Hey Was thinking of buying the Western Digital' My Book® Home Edition™, specially because of the eSATA connection... I heard they have an internal USB-hub for making the capacity gauge working. Anyone tried having one of those connected to a gentoo box, and does it work straight out of the box ? -- I just want to be sure, before spending money on something useless Thanks Thomas -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] Harddisk priority
Hey I'm running a few processes in a cron-job, which makes the harddisk quiet busy, like the emerge --sync command. I know it's possible to nice them to use less CPU power, but is there a similar approach for reading/writing to the disk? Thanks -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

AFAIK it needs a kernel patch. Knowing the name of what you're looking for sure helps... ionice is already installed by the lastest util-linux It seems to require the CFQ I/O scheduler, anyone know if it's a big disadvantage to run this scheduler instead of the Anticipatory ??? ...and does anyone know if this works in a default stable Gentoo installation?? -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
