Is there an "API"/hook that allows that? You can do this by creating a file in /etc/init.d/ following the standard runscript format, and which uses the Bash `read' built-in to prompt the user. Then just use rc-update to make it be run at boot. Implementing a 5-second timeout in bash is probably not going to be pretty -- but I believe it can be done.

Try looking at the shfs code. ;) I believe it is even slower and less efficient than the lufs sshfs module, which operates in user space.

If you aren't using LVM (and thus can't do what Matthew Kennedy suggested), the easiest thing would probably be to put Debian on the new hard drive, get it working, and then use Debian to tar your gentoo partitions into a file on one of the Debian partitions (hopefully you have enough space). -- Jeremy Maitin-Shepard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel 2.6 Test
generally when you compile external modules (alsa, wireless drivers, etc) that aren't part of the kernel source (luckily, alsa's part of 2.5/2.6), they'll look for the kernel headers in /usr/src/linux. I guess it doesn't really matter if you don't use any external modules, but it's still good practice.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gimp and Japanese Font(s)
Do you have japanese language support configured? I've set this up in Redhat many a time but I haven't tried it in gentoo yet. You'll need to "emerge canna" to get the cannaserver (A japanese font server if I remember correctly). It's a service, so you'll need to start it from /etc/init.d and maybe do "rc-update add canna default" so it's started each time. Then you'll need to set some environment variables and setup an X input method (i.e a program that runs in the back ground to let you enter japanese). I use kinput2, I think there are others. Generally I run my system in english, and since setting the environment variables will cause your whole system to behave like a japanese system (i.e. your menus and help files and such will be in japanese) I use a script to run whatever program I want with the japanese settings. Like so: #!/bin/bash LC_ALL=ja_JP LANG=ja_JP.eucJP XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2' $1 & As long as the canna server's running this should work. Save it as something like jp_on and do "sh jp_on gimp" and away you go. Also, check this site.

[gentoo-user] Soundblaster live 5.1 and multi channel alsa
Hi all. Finnally got KDE up and running (yeah!), now I thought I'd tackle configuring my soundcard. I've got the alsa drivers installed and running fine. I've got a Soundblaster 5.1 with the shared analog/digital output, and a set of cheap 5.1 speakers from creative (Inspire 5300). The speakers have center/sub, left/right front and left/right rear connections. To date I haven't been able to get sound from the center channel (except by unplugging the center channel and letting the speakers separate the signal, which is cheating). I did manage to get sound from the rear speakers by toggling the Live Analog/Digital output jack setting in alsamixer (also played around with gamixer in hopes that things would make more sense there, they don't). In redhat using the oss driver I have emu-tools and such to set up routing and what not. From what I can gather, I should be able to set this up with alsa using only a mixer. Can somebody point me in the right direction? The mixer settings are nuts. I've got 31 "EMU10k1 PCM" mixer controls alone in gamix (albeit only 2 seem to do anything). It's got me completely baffled.

[gentoo-user] Progress bar just keeps going and going...
I'm trying to install gentoo on x86 using version 1.4 rc4, and have run into a minor but increibly irritating problem. After boot when I'm dumped to the command prompt, the progress bar which ticked off and advanced while gentoo was detecting my devices keeps on going, writing itself to the screen while I try and type commands. This makes it really hard to type commands, but not impossible. The shell seems to ignore the characters that make up the progress bar, but it's a triffle hard for me to :). I do get a segfault while it's detecting my devices, but that doesn't seem to have stopped the ethernet from comming up (I can ping yahoo for instance).

[gentoo-user] naive question about distcc

It occurs to me that these things don't change very often on my system, and that the answer to these checks could be cached, perhaps associated with a hash or date of certain config files, such as make.conf.

Re: [gentoo-user] newbie question not in the faq: what package supplies the command
Thanks very much for your suggestions. I suppose that's possible -- I haven't found a reference that maps the output from /etc/cpuinfo to the suggested CHOST and CFLAGS, and I feel kind of unclear on that. I don't really know how names of processors, like "athlon", "celeron", "pentium", etc., correspond to the possible values for CHOST/CFLAGS. Is there a definitive reference? Speaking of that, why not just have there be an option for Gentoo to read /proc/cpuinfo and choose a reasonable CFLAGS value for it?
My last attempt failed the same way, after changing CFLAGS to "-march-k6-2 -pipe ". Will I have to recompile everything with different CFLAGS and/or CHOST values?
Currently, from /etc/make.conf
USE="X gtk gnome -alsa"CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"CFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -pipe "CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"RSYNC_RETRIES="3"

Re: [gentoo-user] newbie question not in the faq: what package supplies the command
Thanks for the pointer. Here is what I have (below). What do you suggest I do to make my cflags more conservative?

[gentoo-user] newbie question not in the faq: what package supplies the command
Here's a newbie question that should be in the FAQ (or is, and I just can't read): What package will supply the * command? The motivation for this question is that I was trying to do "emerge -u system", and groff is not compiling. Part of the output from that command is this: ... checking which system macro packages should be made available...checking for pnmcut... missingchecking for pnmcrop... missingchecking for pnmtopng... missingchecking for gs... missingchecking for psselect... missingconfigure: WARNING: Since one or more of the above five programs can't be found in the path, the HTML backend of groff (grohtml) won't work properly. Consequently, no documentation in HTML format is built and installed. configure: creating ./config.statusconfig.status: creating stamp-h ... So I wanted to know what packages I should emerge in order for those programs to be present so that I wouldn't get that warning. Is this the right thing to do? In case this helps with my real problem, which is "why does 'emerge -u system' fail?", here is what else is reported: ... make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/groff-1.18.1-r1/work/groff-1.18.1'imake -DUseInstalled -I/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/usr/X11R6/bin/xmkmf: line 70: 30112 Illegal instruction imake $imake_defines $args !!!

[gentoo-user] getting cygwin terminal type to be recognized by gentoo (?)
Hi, newbie issue here: I rsh from a Cygwin bash shell window on a windows box to a Gentoo box. The value of $TERM is "cygwin". When I attempt to vi a file, I get, "cygwin: Unknown terminal type". My googling (so sue me, Google(tm)) reveals that if I set my TERM variable to "linux", things work better. For example, see http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2000-06/msg00412.html. The operative word here is "better". It doesn't work quite right. But a possibly more informative post (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2000-08/msg00781.html) talks about adding knowledge of the cygwin terminal type to the terminfo system. But doesn't Gentoo use terminfo? I see that there is a terminfo entry for the cygwin terminal in /usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin. But there is also a linux terminal definition in /usr/share/terminfo/l/linux. Why is linux OK, but cygwin is not recognized? As I looked more, I saw that there is a termcap entry for linux, but not for cygwin, so it seems like Gentoo is using termcap, not terminfo. Is that right? If so, why? I located a termcap entry for cygwin (http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-bugs/2000/09/19/0001.html), and added that to /etc/termcap, and lo and behold, it works! Yahoo! What's going on here? Isn't it better to use terminfo rather than termcap? How do I make it use terminfo? Do I need to specify a USE variable and recompile? If so, which one?
