Re: [gentoo-user] Question about Evolution 1.4
Since you are using 1.4, maybe you can answer a question I have about it. How does it handle signitures? Does it still add your signiture to the bottom of the entire e-mail, even if replying top-style? Thanks!

I submitted a bug-report a long while back stating that while they may prefer bottom-centric emails, there are corporations out there looking to get away from Exchange/Outlook that require top-posting. I should know; I watched a 1000 client-license opportunity for Ximian Connector die just for that reason. Netiquette is one thing; corporate policy is sometimes quite another.

Re: [gentoo-user] Best way to start VNCserver KDE
Replace kdm with startkde (w/o quotes) From what I know, you cannot start a login manager with vnc, but the actual desktop/window manager itself.

Re: [gentoo-user] Confused
I sometimes have problems on various machines with the latest versions of the install cd. The problems are very similar to the ones you describe here.

RE: [gentoo-user] Confused
I believe that the installation CD's come with memtest86.

Re: [gentoo-user] DHCP Setup
If Meka's suggestion was not it, are you sure you have the correct network drivers installed (and if a module, enabled)?? One tip to get the drivers you need is to boot with the livecd, setup the network, and do an lsmod and see which network drivers you are using. Then, rebuild your kernel with those drivers selected either as a module, or built directly into the kernel. -Jon GenKiller Gaudette Digital Drip Webmaster On Tue, 2003-06-10 at 15:59, Lukas Fried wrote: Hi, all. I was wondering if someone could help me with an annoying problem I'm having. I successfully installed and booted Gentoo 1.4rc_4 from the LiveCD. During the installation, I had used net-setup to set eth1 (my one and only ethernet card) to DHCP mode and it worked fine. I could use emerge, lynx, and the other network software that boots with the CD. But when I booted Gentoo from my hard drive after I installed it, I simply could not emerge my system. I modified /etc/conf.d/net so that the only uncommented line reads iface_eth1=dhcp, used rc-update to add eth1, and rebooted my system, but it STILL didn't work. If anybody could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. I think moving from RedHat to Gentoo will be worth the trouble I've had.
