hi, in my spare time i was trying to compile openoffice, but i later realised that it requires more than 1 gb to compile... i have an smb share of about 1.7 gb available, however all attempts have gone in vain.
given here is the fstab excerpt. i know its *highly* insecure... but.. option 1: //exodus/openoffice /home/rbs/openoffice-1.1.0-r2 smbfs defaults,users,username=rbs,password=tha,noauto 0 0 emerge openoffice fails with 'cant perform rm openoffice-1.1.0-r2' option 2: //exodus/openoffice /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2 smbfs defaults,users,username=rbs,password=tha,noauto 0 0 emerge openoffice fails with 'cant write to /var/portage'... or a similar error... any ideas on what permissions to give to 1. smb share 2. /var/portage ? also, after mounting, i am unable to do a [EMAIL PROTECTED] chown portage.portage /var/portage (although frankly i dont know why is that not allowed...) any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks robins _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
