It happens WAY too frequently here (*especially* on here on the GUML) and on the LKML. I find it _much_ harder to follow a thread that has been broken by top posting. Mind you, if you have a _proper_ cleint (KMail does this beautifully), threads that have no new messages are collapsed when you switch to a certain folder, and threads with new messages are expanded. Also, your 'Goto Next Unread' button is your friend. Top posting is out of hand on this ML, IMHO. When a thread has 7 top posts in one day, it's just plain silly.

[gentoo-user] donations to what?
(cross posted to gentoo-user gentoo-dev) Hi- Can anyone describe what the gentoo donations go toward? I would assume servers, bandwidth, etc., but I would feel more comfortable donating if it were clearly documented where the money goes. As far as I can tell gentoo is a for-profit company; does that mean my money could just go straight into Gentoo Inc.'s profit margin? Is there any way for me to make a donation that I am sure will get back to the community? Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] Automatic update of packages related to the kernel
Is there any way I can inform the portage system of a kernel upgrade - so that it can automatically recompile packages which depend on the kernel (like, alsa-driver and the nvidia modules)? I upgraded my kernel from 2.4.19 to 2.4.21 (due to the ptrace-exploit). The emerge vanilla-sources just unpacked the tarball in /usr/src/linux. I compiled and copied the kernel image manually. So the portage system did not know about the change. The next time I rebooted into the new kernel, alsa did not work and neither did X. So I had to manually (re)emerge alsa-driver, nvidia-kernel, and nvidia-glx. Is there a way to automate this process? Nandz -- http://home.iitk.ac.in/student/nanda -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

So I had to manually (re)emerge alsa-driver, nvidia-kernel, and nvidia-glx. Well, to begin with, emerge any of the kernel just extracts the sources. None of them are SUPPOSED to automatically compile it (this is due to the fact the the kernel usually needs a lot of configuration). Emerging alsa is normal, although I've never had to remerge any of the nvidia stuff. (I believe you used to have to do that, but newer versions don't. IIRC it has to do with placement of the modules.) Now, the easiest way to set it up to do all that and a bag of chips is to write a bash script.

[gentoo-user] DMA and ide-scsi
Hi, I have found references in several places which state that you should be able to use hdparm to enable dma on ide-scsi devices, however when I enable ide-scsi the /dev/hdX entry (in this case /dev/hdd) for it vanishes and hdparm refuses to work when pointed at the SCSI entry. Any clues as to what is happening? This is of particular interest to me as I am about to replace my CDRW with a DVDRW and while PIO seemed to be fine for a 4x writer it's not going to be able to sustain 6mb/sec! -- This line intentionally left blank. 05:30:19 up 40 days, 15:43, 1 user, load average: 0.99, 1.06, 1.03 Current number of open Freenet connections: 67 E-mail address munged to prevent spam. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
