I did have a similar problem, at first I thought that maybe I got too
few messages to read (2) so I collected a few more and put them in my
~/mail/spam-new (I use mbox) and ran:
$ /usr/bin/sa-learn --mbox --spam ~/mail/spam-new
And it worked...:-)

Both of them do work well with NTFS.
This is what I got on one box with grub:

title Windows 2000
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader  +1

One with lilo:

other=/dev/hda1
label=WinNT
table=/dev/hda

Another lilo:
other=/dev/hda1

All of them work.

FYI: I rebooted the box from the r9 kernel back to r8 and sound works

I still don't get it, these were running normally before I reinstalled

When I wanted to play some mp3 files with mpg123 there was no sound at

Ogg works fine though. This happened after alsa-driver re-install (after

[gentoo-user] logfile size

Is there a way to reduce the sizes of logfiles? For example my fetchmail
logfile weighs around 50+ MB now.
Lets say I would like to limit  some logfiles to only keep the logs 30
days, how would I do that?
In .fetchmailrc for example?

Strange things have been happening with fetchmail recently, often it
doesn't empty the server so it fetches the same messages several times
and now I get this error message:

fetchmail: SIGPIPE thrown from an MDA or a stream socket error
fetchmail: socket error while fetching from [my_mailserver]

One thing I miss in emerge is something similar to *apt-get show
[package]* which lists a rather (often) detailed description of the
package in question, similar to *rpm -qi [package]*.
emerge has --searchdesc, but when I've used that I've never received any
more info than the same spartan one-liners as I get when I use *emerge
search [package]*.
Is the information --searchdesc is supposed to print something that's
not quite implemented yet?

I don't know if you are totally wrong, but this is what i dug out; if
you take a look at the /usr/sbin/genkernel script then you can see that
it is supposed to search for a file called /etc/kernels/default-config
which is *Automatically generated by make menuconfig*!
It seems to be my default kernel-config file, am I right?
In that case genkernel should be using that file...

I want to upgrade my kernel from 2.4.20-gentoo-r8 to 2.4.20-gentoo-r9 as

In a way it does, this is from <http://eu.spamassassin.org/index.html>:


* Razor: Vipul's Razor is a collaborative spam-tracking database, which
works by taking a signature of spam messages. Since spam typically
operates by sending an identical message to hundreds of people, Razor
short-circuits this by allowing the first person to receive a spam to
add it to the database -- at which point everyone else will
automatically block it.


With razor I can report a spam message which passed spamassassin to the

Fact is: as soon as you expose your email address on a public email list it

What matters at least for many is that aspell doesn't cover as many
languages. Ispell will disappear in the future and aspell will take it's

Oh, I see. Similar thing has happened here. emerge seems to randomly
search a server if there isn't one in the list offering the package.
When that happens and the download is way to slow I usually hit Ctrl+C

FYI, in case you didn't know; there is a --resume function for emerge
thus:

# emerge --resume mysql

In case one has to continue a download for example.
You could also put this in your /etc/make.conf:

GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gentoo.linux.no/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.pudas.net/gentoo";

This gives you servers closer to you (there is also a Danish server

This happened here when installing on a stationary box. What I did was:

# emerge -p system | more

Then I installed all the packages listed except the wget package with:

# emerge package etc...

When that was over I ran the:

# emerge system

An then it installed wget without a hickup...:-)

You were right, it's the xfree86 package, r128 driver. This card doesn't
have any 3d accelleration.
