I had this exact problem and spent a long time searching out an answer, I eventually found to add a line like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt vfat rw,user,umask=000 The important thing here is the umask=000 which makes the mounted volume world writeable.

I found the problem - I wasn't running an up to date Neverwinter nights version on my Windows system (which I used to copy the files from). After updating to the latest version everything is A-OK.

[gentoo-user] Resizing partitions
I have a slight problem in that I'd really like to be able to resize my / partition. The problem is that it is formatted as reiserfs so ParitionMagic won't handle it (unless there is a newer version that the one I have). At the moment I have got around the issue by creating /var /usr and /home partitions and moving that data from the old directories on the main (/) partition onto these newly mounted volumes. This has worked well but I worry a little about what I can do if one of these partitions fills up as I cannot resize any of them due to most of them being reiserfs. Does anyone have any suggestions of know of any tools to resize a reiserfs parition? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Setting up a DHCP Server
I've been trying to set up one of my Gentoo boxes as a DHCP server, but I am not having a lot of success. It just doesn't want to give out addresses. Is there an easy step-by-step guide out there geared towards setting up a DHCP server using Gentoo? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Setting up a DHCP Server
Further testing has shown that the DHCP server appears to give out an
initial address but will ignore further requests for IPs. Its almost as
if it will work once after a reboot and then won't give out any further
addresses.
Below is a copy of the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf from the machine in
question.
option domain-name-servers 203.96.152.4 , 203.96.152.12;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
ddns-update-style none;
ddns-updates off;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.200;
}
host Gir {
option domain-name-servers 203.96.152.4 , 203.96.152.12;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
hardware ethernet 00:05:1C:0C:1B:95;
fixed-address 192.168.1.100;
}
Perhaps this can shed light on the problem?

[gentoo-user] Problems installing Gentoo on Toshiba TE2100 Laptop
The install starts off well but sits at the 'CDIMAGE' bar for over 15 minutes before I give up hope and reboot the laptop. Is it worth me waiting longer or is there some trick to getting Gentoo 1.4rc4 to install on a laptop reliably? I should note that the install find the laptops NIC fine and assigns an IP from the DHCP server, it finds the USB bus but just never makes it past the 'cdimage root #' bar that makes it all the way across the screen and just sits there appears to be doing things (the 'spinner' at the end of the bar goes round and round) but nothing else ever happens. ...or am I just too impatient?

he only software keeping me using Windows is: DreamWeaver - I just love its ease of use and power. All the stuff from www.popcap.com as I love fun, quirky little games.

So if anyone can give me any pointers to software for Gentoo that will let me get rid of Windows and just use Linux then I'd appreciate it. I should note that because of issues in the past I'm not keen on anything not in the stable branch of Gentoo. :-) (But I'm prepared to be told that I have nothing to worry about should I try again) Cheers Jamie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] How to set up a mail server
Hi have several POP accounts that I want to check/fetch using getmail (which I believe to be more reliable than fetchmail), then be able to check those accounts by POPing into the server that I have downloaded them to. I have managed to get getmail installed and working (putting retrieved emails into /home//mbox but I cannot seem to POP into the account to check them. I have installed vm-pop3d and can see that it is running but whenever I try and POP into the 'server' PC I get password errors. Can anyone help me, or perhaps point me to some documentation on how to do this? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] CDRW
There are 2 ways of doing it, (AFAIK) 1/ you format the CDRW using a special format that allows you to use it just like a 'big' floppy, the downside of this is that it is very very slow (and I don't know how to do it under Linux) 2/ You burn it jsut as a standard CDR but make sure you do it as a multi-session disk so taht you can add more data to it later, then when you want to re-use the CDRW you just erase it and start over again.

[gentoo-user] Mailbox vs. maildir

[gentoo-user] How can I automatically save attachments
I'm pretty sure that I have asked this before and been referred to the perfect script to handle it, but I can't find the original reply. I want to be able to have all attachments that come in to a certain email address be saved automatically (called via. procmail most likely) to a directory of my choosing. Can anyone recommend a good script for this purpose, it should just decode and save all attachments to the email to the directory of my choosing. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Cannot get Parallel Port to work *RESOLVED*
After emerging kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r4 and compiling the parallel port now works and I can print successfully.

Re: [gentoo-user] Time issues

I had the same issue and resolved it by editing /etc/conf.d/clock and ensuring that the lines CLOCK = "local" and CLOCK_SYSTOHC="yes" are present. This ensures that your clock is running on "local" time rather then UTC (GMT) and syncs your software clock to the computers hardware clock on a reboot/shutdown. ...at least that's my understanding of it, someone please correct me if I am wrong. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
