Re: [gentoo-user] what "F" mean ? :")
>From the MAN page: [ebuild F ] media-video/realplayer-8-r6 The realplayer package requires that you download the sources manually. When you attempt to emerge the package, if the sources are not found, then portage will halt and you will be provided with instructions on how to download the required files. Cheers, Max.

Or, you could point emerge directly to the ebuild. # emerge bar-misc/bender/bender-4.0.ebuild If bender 4.0 is ~arch it will still install it, however it won't attempt to install any other ~arch stuff.

Re: [gentoo-user] Blender
Or, you could point emerge directly to the ebuild. (I don't know why we're using 'bender', but I will continue with it) # emerge bar-misc/bender/bender-4.0.ebuild If bender 4.0 is ~arch it will still install it, however it won't attempt to install any other ~arch stuff.

Assuming you just want to adjust it to the correct time, and not a random time, you can use ntp. There is a thread here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=41099 that goes through setting up the ntp daemon to automagically update the time and date for you. Personally, I have 'ntpdate' in my crontab, and it runs every day. emerge ntp pick your local time server from this list: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2a.html I go to Adelaide University, so I use ntp.saard.net as my server. run this command as often as you need: ntpdate ntp.saard.net And there you go, the time and date will be set correctly. :) Cheers, Max. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Backups?
Can you share the script/crontab etc you use to accomplish this? Currently I just create a tarball of $home and put it on a secondary disk, but I do it by hand every night before I go to bed.

Re: [gentoo-user] reiserfs corruption likelihood?
I've been using it on everything but /boot for a while now, and it's completely fine. I have decent hardware and an up-to-date kernel, and it works great. My friends also use it, and they, too, have never had a problem. The only time it has ever failed on me (or anyone I personally know) was a webserver at work, which was a P120, running on old Mandrake Kernel. (I didn't set the box up). Personally, I backup my important data to another drive. I love the speed that reiserfs seems to give me, and I have no qualms whatsoever in using it (or recommending it). Yes, it can mess up, but so can most filesystems. If you have good hardware, it shouldn't be a problem. Max.
