[gentoo-user] Would you like a little WINE with that?
Well after weeks of fscking around with Bochs (cool but way too slow at this stage) and VMWare (Windows XP and 98) I finally got Lotus Notes up and running on my Gentoo system with WINE. http://ar.com.au/~keppy/index.html (A text-based browser will not help you.) I'm still in a state of shock as to how well it runs. It's actually better than on Windows because you are not risking having to reboot your computer when it crashes. Way to go WINE devs!! A tip for all those VMWare users out there. If you are running Windows XP as the guest OS and value the information inside it at all, stop what you are doing and proceed to backup that information the best way you can. Why? I had it setup nicely when one day the virtual machine was killed without shutting down properly (don't ask how - shit happens). So you think it would just run scandisk or some other pseudo disk integrity checker, right? Wrong! After trying many many times to restart XP all I got was the infamous blue screen of death. No access to my data!! Whether you can access the data some other way I do not know. Maybe you can, maybe you can't. Perhaps you can boot from the Windows XP CD and attempt to recover that data that way. Who knows. All I knew by that stage is that there was no way I was going to risk my files with such as setup. That's what makes WINE better. At least your files are stored on the disk natively. Now, off to see what other Windows apps I can install with WINE... -- |eppy -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

For a single-user computer, I would normally have only two accounts: root and (say) 'dcarrera' -- a regular user account. Since I install stuff very often, I would add 'dcarrera' to the 'wheel' group, so I can su to root. Now, here is my idea. Create a third user, 'admin'. Add 'admin' to the 'wheel' group instead of dcarrera, but give admin the ability to install regular packages. In other words, admin would have write access to /usr. So, when I want to install a regular package I would su to admin. And when I need to do something more (like modify /etc, /boot, /bin, etc) I would su again to become root. I figure that this would be good because 'admin' would not be able to access any of the truly crucial components of the system. Would this be a good idea? Except that you would get permission hell when you install as root, and that you need to manually modify suid applications, I believe there are no real security implications to this. I think you can better look into some kernel based security packages though that work with capabilities.

[gentoo-user] Newbie question - migration from RH8
Hi, I've been a RH8 user for a few months, and I'm really sick of the rpm stuff. I had a lot of problems installing a few things, and I still have things not working, like video conferencing. I heard of the gentoo distribution and thought I'd give it a try. I'm a freelance Java developer, and I have two machines: one that serves as develoment server (CVS, Apache, JBoss, OC4J, SAPDb, etc) and another one that I use as development workstation (Gnome, Netbeans, and the usual stuff like Mozilla, OpenOffice,...). I have taken a look to several reviews of Gentoo, and they all tell the same about installing it: it takes a loong time. I cannot afford having one of my machines down for a long period of time, so I was thinking about the way of migrating from RH8 to Gentoo. I have thought of buying another hard disk, install Gentoo on it, pass all my files from the old system to the new system, and use the old disk to repeat the same process in the new machine... what do you think of this? Any other solution? Please, notice I don't want to have several distributions lying around, so I think that making another partition and adding a new system to GRUB is not a solution. About installation time... my machines are AMD (1Ghz and 1,66 Ghz) with 256 and 512Mb of RAM. I have an ADSL connection that gives me 25Kbytes/s. How much time do you think I may spend installing these systems? Is there any way to leverage the downloaded sources, so I don't have to download the same twice? May I install Gentoo in several short steps shuting down the machine between them? Another question... is it possible to rollback an installation in Gentoo?

It's just a warning - don't worry about it. In some case the program has a construct that is no longer used but it hasn't been updated to a new way of doing things.

As for 5, aesthetics are probably FVWM's weak point, but that doesn't mean it has to look *bad* just that it doesn't look as good as some of the others. Personally I love it because you could run FVWM on a calculator and still not notice the load and I genuinely think it's the most powerful WM in existance... does anyone know of one that beats it in that regard? It does take time to configure it the way you like it, but the good news is that with enough time you can make FVWM do *anything*. (as an aside, the developers are also very nice people..

I had a lot of problems installing a few things, and I still have things not working, like video conferencing. I heard of the gentoo distribution and thought I'd give it a try. I'm a freelance Java developer, and I have two machines: one that serves as develoment server (CVS, Apache, JBoss, OC4J, SAPDb, etc) and another one that I use as development workstation (Gnome, Netbeans, and the usual stuff like Mozilla, OpenOffice,...). I have taken a look to several reviews of Gentoo, and they all tell the same about installing it: it takes a loong time. I cannot afford having one of my machines down for a long period of time, so I was thinking about the way of migrating from RH8 to Gentoo. I have thought of buying another hard disk, install Gentoo on it, pass all my files from the old system to the new system, and use the old disk to repeat the same process in the new machine... what do you think of this? Any other solution? hmm, do u mean compiling one one machine and move the allready compiled programs to the other machine? im not sure, but i suppose that should work if the machine have equal hardware Please, notice I don't want to have several distributions lying around, so I think that making another partition and adding a new system to GRUB is not a solution.

How much time do you think I may spend installing these systems? Is there any way to leverage the downloaded sources, so I don't have to download the same twice? yes, downloaded files are saved and are not deletead unless you do it by yourself, so u could do one of the boxes one weekend, then nfs share the downloaded sources and move them over to the other machine May I install Gentoo in several short steps shuting down the machine between them?

I am running blackdownjdk-1.4.1 The reason why I think this should not matter is that I this gcc is sucha basic package in the nix world that I cant imagine it having a dependency on jdks.

Dont forget about bochs! http://bochs.sourceforge.net Welcome to the Bochs IA-32 Emulator Project Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486 or Pentium CPU. Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux, Windows? 95, DOS, and recently Windows? NT 4. Bochs was written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by this project. Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still in development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. For instance, let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run Win'95 applications. Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated software on your Unix/X11 workstation, displaying a window on your workstation, simulating a monitor on a PC. A little slower than VMware, but its F R E E! :) -- Louis C. Candell -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] is gcc compiling?
This is definately a gcc bug...(well... I am almost sure :) ) Roger
mailed me offline that 3.2.2-r3 is now masked unstable.. try downgrading
to 3.2.2-r1 (apparently emerge will ask you to do that if you now rsync
and then update).. Also may be try to use a little less aggressive
CFLAGS?
Hope this helps.

I there a way to print where grub is running from once inside the grub command line? I had dual booting Win98 working fine but I think I did something in grub and now all it does is reload grub when I select Windows. The Windows boot partition is still readable by Linux (/mnt/win-boot) but is an unknown system when I use a Win98 boot disk (in fact there is no drive C: except in fdisk). I've tried fdisk /mbr but grub still runs (from somewhere).
