You can do this with two small changes. First, add the --backup option
to mv_opts in /etc/etc-update.conf. Note: The default backup option will
create a single backup named filename~. If you do want to maintain
previous backups, you can use something like --backup=numbered. Take a
look at the man info page for other backup options.
The second change is to the etc-update program itself. Unfortunately,
etc-update's current method using when using '-5' is to reset mv_opts to
. To add backups when using the '-5' option open /usr/sbin/etc-update
in an editor and locate the lines:
if (( ${input} == -5 )); then
input=-3
export mv_opts=

Change the export line to: export mv_opts=--backup. Or
--backup=numbered etc.

Yup. If you are worried about the delay, you can always take it out of
the fstab and mount it manually.
It seems to me that a speedup would be to first attempt to ping the host,
and if that succeeds, then try to mount the NFS share. This would have to
be optional, of course, since some hosts may be configured not to reply to
pings.
A bit late on this, but you can setup dhcpcd to execute a script when a
machines ip is updated. Just add -c /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.exe to your
dhcpcd_eth0= variable in /etc/conf.d/networks. Then every time dhcpcd
receives an update it will run the script dhcpcd-eth0.exe with the path
to the new info file and some other parameters (they're in the man
page).
The info files are setup as VAR=value so you can just source $1 in the
script to get the new info, then you can do things like:
if [ ${DHCPSHADDR} = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ]; then
#mount nfs shares/samba shares here
fi
Just put your dhcp servers mac address in for XX:XX... and it will run
the code whenever eth0's ip is modified by dhcp. There are a few
caveats, but that is the basic idea. If anyone has questions, let me
know and I'll write up something with more in depth examples.

Just for future reference, configure errors often show up in the
config.log file in the work directory for the package you are building.
For example, the gettex-0.11.5 work dir is in
/var/tmp/portage/gettext-0.11.5-r1/work/gettext-0.11.5 by default. This
directory wont be cleaned up if there is a build error, so you should
still have it. Take a look at the config.log file for the information
following the line: configure:1817: checking for C compiler default
output, hopefully there will be a bit of information about the error.
Here's what the error will look like if one of your CFLAGS are wrong:
configure:1817: checking for C compiler default output
configure:1820: gcc -ftracer -mfpmath=sse -mpni -march=pentium4 -O2
-pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fVERYWRONG conftest.c 5

When I'm on the console and press Alt+Left or Right arrows it switches to the

behaviour?
The Alt+{Left,Right} functionality is setup by your chosen keymap file.
The files you want to modify are in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/include .
You'll want to edit linux-keys-bare.inc and comment out the following
lines by placing a # in front of them:
alt keycode 105 = Decr_Console
alt keycode 106 = Incr_Console
After these changes, find the KEYMAP variable in /etc/rc.conf and then
run 'loadkeys KEYMAP'. For example, if you have KEYMAP='us', run
'loadkeys us' from the console.
Good Luck,
Doug
P.S: A few non-us keymaps use linux-with-modeshift-altgr.inc instead, so
if the above fix doesn't work for you, try changing the Decr_Console and
Incr_Console lines here as well.

If xfree didn't emerge properly the first time, why would it work now? Well it does seem like an error in the xfree install process, so with a re-emerge you should be able to end up with a proper install, a reported error in making the symlink, or (if no error is reported) a bug for that version of the ebuild.

@{$mail-body()} works here. If you want, you can also use

@body_text = split(\n, join( , @body_text));
@ntfy_mail = (Date: $msg_date,

for ($i = 0; $i 20; $i++) {
@ntfy_mail = (@ntfy_mail, @body_text[$i]\n);
}
Since you only want 20 lines you can use @body_text[0 .. 19] in the
join. If you want to reduce everything to a few lines, you can use a
second join to add the newlines:
$text = join(\n, split(\n, join( , @body_text[0 .. 19])));
or use map to keep the result as an array:
@body_text = map { $_ .\n } split( same as above );

I've never had a problem using X11 after compiling a new kernel, but I can't say for certain whether or not this is necessary for specific configurations. The problems I'm seeing right now are: 1) depmod -a produces a large number of errors: snip I believe I did: make dep clean bzImage install modules modules_install Is the new kernel the same version as your old one? I ask because if both kernels are version 2.4.20-gentoo-r2 then there may be modules lying around /lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r2 that you did not configure into the new kernel. If you are recompiling a kernel it is best to move the old module tree out of the way before running 'make modules_install'. Probably related to question #2, the USB hotplug page talks about modprobing the USB drivers (modprobe usb-ohci.o) but when I try this it tells me it cannot find the file: Wizard usb # modprobe usb-ohci.o modprobe: Can't locate module usb-ohci.o Wizard usb # This should be 'modprobe usb-ohci', don't provide the .o when using modprobe.

Re: [gentoo-user] problem pinging
Tom, I would guess that your problem is due to having both devices initialized when only one is actually connected. Due to the change to a static ip, eth0 will be initialized whenever the nic drivers are loaded, regardless of whether or not eth0 is actually connected to the network. To test this possibility take down eth0 when you are trying to use just the wireless connection with 'ifconfig eth0 down' and then ping the router. For a bit more in depth explanation see my responses below. On Mon, 2003-09-01 at 17:08, Tom Hosiawa wrote: snip Yeah I'm running both nic's simultaneously, but use the wireless connection most of the time. If you are only using the wireless connection this is likely to cause problems when communicating with local systems as the data may be sent over eth0 or 192.168.1.3. For example your ping results: or ping 192.168.1.2 (the other pc on the lan), I get: PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
