I think the php eclass should have information to detect what mta is actually in use and where the proper sendmail compatible binary is and during postinstall, modify the php.ini. Or simply not have the check for /usr/sbin/sendmail. It makes sense on doing the check for /usr/sbin/sendmail as it would resolve some 'I cant send mail via php' issues. However actually trying to emerge php seems to have caused a new problem that doesn't need to be. Well, for the record... ln -s /usr/bin/nbsmtp /usr/sbin/sendmail did the job.

Re: [gentoo-user] A /etc/make.conf Question
Hmm, on the stage 1 installs I've done the instructions tell us to modify make.conf immediately after we've done the emerge sync. I've forgotten what step it's in but it's way before building the kernel. Certainly, Matthais. My apologies. The point here is simply this: The request for an edit of /etc/make.config as to kernel in the Note at the start of Step 15 has in mind the entry of appropriate CHOST, and C and CXXFLAG selections for the processor. Ordinarily, for a stage 1 install, these entries are made much earlier in the process, part of the reason for my initial confusion what with reference to the kernel and not the cpu. The purpose of placing this note at the beginning of Step 15 would seem to have very much to do with Stage 3 installers who start the stage 3 process at this juncture. Stage 1 installers beware. I must say, the Gentoo installation documentation has to be among the best in the Linux world, if not the best, particularly given the complexity of the install. This is an area that can use some clarity, however. John Lowell - Original Message - From: Matthias F.

[gentoo-user] Roving Internet connectivity with Gentoo while travelling?
Hi everyone, I hope it's okay to ask this on this list. If not please ignore this post. I just thought I might get some valuable input from some of you on this list. I am thinking of taking a long distance trucking job which would entail travelling for several days on the road. Switching between me and a co-driver. As such I would have time to kill sitting in the passengers seat for quite a number of hours each day. I would like to buy a laptop, install Gentoo, and access the Internet while riding in the truck cab but am wondering if there is such a thing as roving Internet connectivity. Through the body of a truck cab? Satellite perhaps? Are there drivers for Gentoo that handle satellite hardware? Does anyone know of any good links to information on this or does anyone care to share about any roving Internet experiences with me of the kind I am asking about? Feel free to email me if this is considered off list too much. I would appreciate any input on this. Money wise I would be making enough to afford what might normally be considered too expensive. My main concern is more whether such a thing is possible and how to go about setting it up. Thanks. Carlos -- www.internetsuccess.ca -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory
I don't think you can mount both on the same directory (mount point). However you can mount the one in (e.g.) /mnt/disk create a directory /mnt/disk/otherdisk and mount the second one on /mnt/disk/otherdisk. Hope that helps!

Re: [gentoo-user] mounting two partitions as one directory
Rick, you might check out the -o bind option for mount (man mount). It may do what you want. I don't think you can mount both on the same directory (mount point).

Re: [gentoo-user] Segmentation Fault Everywhere
Has this system been working till now? Seg faults are usually hardware problems - memory, cpu, motherboard. Mine was a defective ASUS board (they replaced it). Hi all, I'm running Gentoo on my desktop and somehow while I was working, su'ing to root and back, I got a segmentation fault while su'ing to root. Then I tried again and again and I started getting a lot of segmentation faults. Then I rebooted, at the start of boot Gentoo was not able to mount proc and stopped asking me if I wanted to enter as root so I did. I get segmentation fault with mount and su at least. What can I do? (do not answer panic please) Any ideas? Best regards, Paulo Jorge Matos -- Brett I. Holcomb AKA Grunt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Soundblaster live 5.1 and multi channel alsa
Hi all. Finnally got KDE up and running (yeah!), now I thought I'd tackle configuring my soundcard. I've got the alsa drivers installed and running fine. I've got a Soundblaster 5.1 with the shared analog/digital output, and a set of cheap 5.1 speakers from creative (Inspire 5300). The speakers have center/sub, left/right front and left/right rear connections. To date I haven't been able to get sound from the center channel (except by unplugging the center channel and letting the speakers separate the signal, which is cheating). I did manage to get sound from the rear speakers by toggling the Live Analog/Digital output jack setting in alsamixer (also played around with gamixer in hopes that things would make more sense there, they don't). In redhat using the oss driver I have emu-tools and such to set up routing and what not. From what I can gather, I should be able to set this up with alsa using only a mixer. Can somebody point me in the right direction? The mixer settings are nuts. I've got 31 EMU10k1 PCM mixer controls alone in gamix (albeit only 2 seem to do anything). It's got me completely baffled.
