My / (root) lives on /dev/sdb1. My /dev/sda has no partitions and no data
except for what I presume is the mbr written by lilo. [history: sdb is an
SSD and I never wanted to use the slow sda]
I have been playing with ZFS on a USB drive and I am ready to create a
zpool on /dev/sda.

But why don't you install lilo on /dev/sdb? You change change the boot
order in BIOS after that.
Michael,
Thank you, that worked perfectly.

Where is the proper place to specify the gentoo network configuration nowadays?
I do not have a file called /etc/conf.d/net.example on my hard drive.
That surprised me.
The handbook talks all about eth0, but my machine does not have a
eth0. It has eno1. Perhaps the handbook is not up to date?
Hello,
Can anyone tell me why portage is insisting on upgrading me from
opencv-2.4.5 to opencv-2.4.8?
I would not expect portage to want to do this because:
1. opencv-2.4.8 is unstable (and I run a stable system)
2. opencv-2.4.5 is masked
Thank you,
Chris

You need opencv as it's a dep for something, and portage wants you to
have a version that's in the tree. The only stable version is 2.4.5 but
you have masked that in package.mask
Hi Alan,
I attempted to mask only

You did post emerge output using -t and it shows up at the top level
which is a bit odd, it implies portage wants to update opencv anyway,
not as a result of it being a dep.
I agree it's odd and I agree it appears

This is solved:
1. opencv has USE=cuda. I have opencv-2.4.5 installed.
2. I had these mask rules:

Hello,
The following page describes kernel, VIDEO_CARDS, and portage settings
for nvidia video cards:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/NVidia/nvidia-drivers
Is there a similar page for Matrix MGA G200 video card?
In particular, I would like to know:
1. What kernel settings should I use?
2. What
Hello,
At the moment I am running and receiving my network connection from
init.d/wicd. init.d/net.eno1 is not running and I do not want it to
run.
Now I want to connect to a VPN: /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Apparently as a dependency to init.d/openvpn, something launches
init.d/net.eno1.

Eric,
Thank you. I will try to use beignet as I am using Intel hardware.

Hello,
I have a small system:
- 6GB drive
- ext4 partition mounted readonly
- swap partition that is not listed in fstab and not enabled. (I will
swapon it every few weeks or so if I need it for a large compile job)
- 2 GB RAM
When the system boots it processing video from a USB camera.
I am trying to ssh into a site using PKI. I have a private key in my
.ssh directory that requires a passphrase.
ssh is asking me for my passphrase using a terrible program called
pinentry. It's terrible for a bunch of reasons, and if you are
interested you can just google pinentry sucks.
