  And converting an rgb/grayscaled picture to b/w is no option,

  I there any Icon-Editor which is able to handle text (kiconeditor

  Or any other application with which I could acchieve what I want?

 No, never used one on a gentoo box before. That's a fedora thing, isn't it?

Nope! Its not distribution specific. It's a kernel feature.

 Hi all,

 I am new to gentoo and so far I really like it. But now, I am running
 out of disk space on my root partition (10 GB), although I have a
 rather small system with fluxbox (no KDE, GNOME,...). Thought gentoo
 would not waste my resources that much. Now I am thinking about how to
 resize my ext3 partitions. Bellow is the output of fdisk:

 sda8 is my root partition and sda9 is my home partition where there is

 Hi group,

 Using xubuntu on a usb stick to install gentoo on a eeepc, 4g,
 900A. I've gotten as far as kernel config(Quick-install Guide -
 Kernel Configuration) but when I try to emerge gentoo-sources portage
 can't resolve any of the addresses and the process fails.

Can you browse from your xubuntu? Looks like you are not connected to
internet. If you are able to browse from xubuntu, then copy the
/etc/resolv.conf file from xubuntu to gentoo partition:

cp -L /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/gentoo/etc/resolv.conf

 Does it have something to do with the previous section, Set your host
 name and domain name? I followed the model given:

 hosts: 127.0.0.1 eeebox.at.eeeplace eeebox localhost

 hostname: HOSTNAME=eeebox

Nope. Nothing to do with this.

 BTW, it took 22mins for the portage snapshot to be unpacked, is that
 similar to anybody else's experience?

22 mins is very long time. Generally stage3 tarball should take longer
than portage, probably have to do with the verbose flag of tar command
(it slows the process when using a slow terminal).

 BTW2, I'm using dialup via a serial/usb cable to complete the job at
 home, whereas the stage3-i686-20090422 and portage-20090502 were
 downloaded over wireless at the Wifi-Cafe. Don't tell me the numbers
 must match exactly!

No the numbers don't matter.

 i had installed gentoo without splash screen on boot up (ie., bootsplash)
 how can i configure now
 
Hi Prakash,
Gentoo developers have discontinued the support fo bootsplash,
i.e., the gentoo kernel sources do not contain bootsplash patches.
You've to use fbsplash (splashutils) instead..

Check out : http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash

Also note that you can emerge boolsplash-themes, they'll get
automatically get converted to splashutils themes..

Bye,

It can be done, the best example of it being done is the NVidia kernel
module. Although it seems, you want to compile a module inside a kernel
tree. I think it'll be lot complex. I dont have any hands on experience
in this, but i suggest take a look at the Makefiles of other kernel
modules available outside the kernel tree. Sorry cant give you specifics
on how to do it. 

PS: Also ALSA-driver package are nothing but kernel modules, you may
want to check thier makefiles as well.

 Yes.
 
 cd /usr/src/linux
 make menuconfig or make xconfig
 choose the module option you wish to enable
 Select whether to build into the kernel or as a module.
 exit and save
 make
 make modules_install
 
 You should not have to copy bzImage unless you built your new modules into
 the kernel.
 
 Then edit your /etc/autoload directory to include the module you want to
 modprobe into the system.
 

This sounds simpler than what i had thought. I suggest giving this a
try. My earlier suggestion to read the Makefiles has been taken back
now.. :)

 Thanks Masood, for the pointers.. I have a question about your sig.

 Do you get that info from a single command or several?
 

The answer is several,
for kernel version i did 'uname -r'
for gcc-version i did 'gcc -v'
for processor i did 'cat /proc/cpuinfo'
for ram 'free -t'
for CFLAGS 'cat /etc/make.conf | grep CFLAGS'
for CXXFLAGS 'cat /etc/make.conf | grep CXXFLAGS'

I think this is not what you expected. I dont have enough sed and grep
knowledge to automate the process, but i'm learning it. I'd like to
write a script that would output only the required contents from the
output of the commands above. 

Got any idea's anyone?

 You want to set MAILPATH in .bashrc. man bash and search for MAILPATH.

I set the MAILPATH in .bashrc as 
MAILPATH='~/Mail/Gentoo-User:~/Mail/Gentoo-Announce'
but still when i login no message notifying me of new mail is displayed. The 
list is long
so, some mbox's have not yet been created.. Does it has anything to do?

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: install windows after gentoo on two different physical drives

i have a machine with two SATA hard disk. I would like to know if
 there are some possibilties to install windows (XP in particular) on
 the second hard drive AFTER gentoo has been installed on the first
 one, and, if yes, how to perform this task.

You can do it. Although I have not tried it, i think you can install 
windows XP as usual on the second drive, then edit the menu.lst file
and add the following entry..

title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd1,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

Again i have not tried this, if I'm wrong please point it out..
