[gentoo-user] cant boot gentoo

I then logged on to the net to get my email but had to log back off a minute later when a customer showed up. I took care of the customer came back in and tryed to get back on line but my modem wasnt being initialized (ok fine kppp had done this several times before just reboot and it works fine again) not this time.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on older Laptop
Hello I've been using Gentoo on my desktops for a couple of weeks now, and I really like it. So I wanted to fit my laptop with it, it's a PII 366 Mhz with 128 MB Ram. But it is way to slow to compile stuff from source (vi might still work, but KDE or even system would take a lifetime. Is there any way to keep it semi-current between Gentoo releases using mainly binary packages? If yes, is there any documentation about this (where to find packages, how to install them)?

Courier seems to be better.. Faster.. I have used both.. cyrus uses the mbox format and your back to using huge files again and the problems that go with it. I really liked courier-imapd, because it's much faster than any mbox-imap-server. Then I tried bincimap, which is also a IMAP4Rev1 server for the maildir format. It's a little bit strange, because it doesn't get started by xinetd or the like, but comes with its own spawning-daemon and log-daemon, but when I compare performance, bincimap always wins over courier. It especially can handle large folders much better than courier-imapd. I've got a folder with 30.000 messages in it, courier-imap in combination with sylpheed-claws takes about 2 and a half minutes to check for new messages and sync them. bincimap performs this task in about 20 seconds. bincimap is in portage, and it can, without any problems, be installed in parallel to courier-imapd.

You can install Gentoo using the GRP. However, those packages aren't maintained yet (the idea is there though). What you can do is ask someone to compile the packages you need with your CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/USE using emerge --buildpkgonly. Then he should hand you over all created packages (in /usr/portage/packages) so you can install the tools you want with emerge --usepkgonly. I have a Pentium 233 that runs Gentoo.

So far I've not found one and I've also been unable to get wmpager or wmpc to work with it. It's hard to say for sure which pager to use b/c pekwm can use both workspaces and viewports. Which one you use will determine with pager to use. I don't know why wmpager doesn't work but the pager for the gnome-panel works, the ROX panel works, and tpager (http://s1x.homelinux.net/tpager.php) works, along with sereral others if you are using workspaces, which i think is the default. If you are using viewports then the only pager I have found that works is wampager. Also if you are using the version that is portage (v. 0.1.3), I would consider downloading the cvs version directly and using that b/c a lot of new features have been added and is pretty stable(i've been using the cvs version for about a year with little problems). However, if you do use the cvs version, be sure to backup and rm your ~/.pekwm directory b/c a lot of the configuration files have changed and when you start the cvs version up for the first time it will place the updated files in ~/.pekwm if it doesn't exists. Good luck with pekwm, it's the best wm I have ever used. Also, if you have anymore questions I would recommend posting them to the pekwm-user mailing list b/c the people there are really helpful. As for golem the only issue I'm having with it is I don't see an explaination anywere of how to make it shade. I quite like the ability to double click the title bar and have things roll up on occasion. Now, I don't know about golem b/c I've only used it for a couple of minutes at a time and don't know much about it. I'm busy with xmass type things and other stuff. But I've found a few more things I may make ebuilds for. There is a theme tool wmtheme that I don't see in portage masked or unmasked and a few gkrellm2 plugins that also aren't in portage but gkrellm versions of them exist that wont work with gkrellm2. One more thing, I just remembered that someone made an ebuild for the cvs verison of pekwm. It is at http://codez.heckpart.homeip.net/~codez/gentoo/ You'll have to create a portage overlay though to use it. Hope that helps too. Anyways if anyone has any ideas on what pager might work or how to do the shading please pass it on. I couldn't find anything on the online docs nor what was installed that would enlighten me as what to do.

[gentoo-user] switching from uw-imap to courier-imap
I just converted my home LAN imap server from redhat 9 to gentoo (following my recent switch to gentoo as my desktop OS). At first I installed postfix, procmail, fetchmail, and uw-imap because that's what I was using in redhat. I am thinking about switching to courier-imap though and I had a few questions. What steps should I take to convert from my current setup to one using courier-imap (besides emerge'ing courier-imap)? Currently I am still using the default Mailbox mail box format in /var/spool/mail (and all the subfolders I created in my mozilla client were placed in my homedir). Is there anyway I can convert these files over to the maildir format or do I have to just start from sratch with an empty inbox? Thanks, Aaron -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] dhcpcd and Linux 2.6 ...
It seems that dhcpcd works fine when used to option an IP address and configuration for the 2.6 kernel. However, it doesn't seem to report that it was successful correctly (presumably it should be using the /sys filesystem to determine this). As a result, if net.eth0 starts up and is instructed to use DHCP, it will think it failed and all subsequent network dependencies will also not start. So, is anybody aware of a fix for dhcpcd for the 2.6 kernel? If not, perhaps dhclient will work better? Tom Veldhouse -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

In the end, I chalked up the performance degrade on gentoo to my having built gcc with too many optimizations. When I recompiled gcc with more conservative settings, my program ran as fast or faster on gentoo. If you recall, the processor/memory intensive part of my program is reading a 50,000+ line CSV file into memory. On my gentoo box, it takes about 1.6 seconds to load this into memory. On Windows, using MS Visual Studio 6.0, it takes five or six seconds to load into memory! I don't know how big a role computer speed plays, though. My home computer (gentoo) is an Athlon XP 2500 with 1 GB of ram. My work computer (windows) is a dual Xeon 1.5 GHz with 2 GB of ram. Judging by Windows Task Manager, only one CPU is used to load the data. So, loosely speaking, my home PC is 1.6 times faster, but the same process is 3.1 times slower (on my work PC). Again, this testing isn't scientific by any means, but I thought some folks might be interested. Looks good for gcc or AMD, in my opinion :) Matt It probably has more too do with machine load, disk I/O speed (in particular transfer speeds), memory speed and latency also will have a large impact, as well as the size of disk cache (some IDE drives have 8MB buffers in them which will likely do wonders on performance). Also, it depends upon the efficiency of your code and how it does the parsing. A good parser for CSV files should not be extremely CPU intensive as the bottleneck really should be I/O.
