[gentoo-user] Emerge PHP+ Apache
Hi, I've been messing with gentoo for around 2 years now and still have not learned the full functionality of emerge. I've got 5 systems and I'm building a new one and would like to use the full functionality of emerge. To install apache and PHP i've always manually compiled the two. How does emerge do this and what is the command to type in emerge to get it to do this? Thanks! CR -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Since you have read the manual, you will know how to set the appropriate options to get the configuration you desire.

If so you might try No, from what I can tell 'stop' works correctly, even if dhcpd was not started via start-stop-daemon / the init script.

RE: [gentoo-user] Emerge PHP+ Apache
I use the package system for a lot just not everything. I'm beginning to use it for more stuff. I use to work in Redhat a lot so the package system was not the first thing I noticed in gentoo. I really like gentoo a lot, I'm trying to get more familiar with the workstation end of it, and at the the same time clean up the systems, remove the manually compiled programs and use the package system to make them more proficient. -Original Message- From: A.

Compile all the promise and all theintel device modules into your kernel (Not as modules). Reboot and it should pick it up. Then start removing modules 1 at a time from the kernel, recompiling, reboot, etc, until you figure out which one it is you need. For me it was the Promise TX2/4. I think.
