Re: [gentoo-user] "Package in world file is not installed"
This is somewhat off topic, but where, exactly, is the 'world file' located? I was looking for this the other night, and couldn't find it.

Re: [gentoo-user] Xfree 4.3.0-r1
Actually, it should be ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" Sorry I missed that before.

Re: [gentoo-user] CDROM not usable
Hey Richard, make sure that /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 actually exists, and is a link to your correct cdrom device. Here's mine: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -> /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd bus0 would be primary and bus1 would be the secondary. In this case, my cdrom is hdc. If that looks right, try supplying some output to your mount command. Use a '-v' switch for verbose mode. if the mount doesn't work, try using the "normal" devices to mount. PM = hda PS = hdb SM = hdc SS = hdd mount -v -t iso9660 /dev/hdx /mnt/cdrom -mark On Monday 10 March 2003 02:44 pm, richard terry wrote: > Bear in mind I have limited linux knowledge: > > I can't seem to access any cdrom/dvd on my system. > My fstab is as below > > /dev/hda1 /boot ext2noauto,noatime > 1 1 > /dev/hda3 / ext3noatime > 0 0 > /dev/hda2 noneswapsw > 0 0 > /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro > 0 0 > proc/proc procdefaults > 0 0 > > It was obviously found during install. > > Could someone point me in the direction to fix this? > > Thanks > > richard > > > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] I'm no tar geru
Hey Jesse, Another solution would be to create a text file with what you want to backup. i.e. backuplist.txt --- /usr/ /etc/ --- tar cvjpf yourbackup.tar.bz2 -T backuplist.txt -Mark On Monday 10 March 2003 10:58 am, Meir Kriheli wrote: > On Sunday 09 March 2003 22:45, Jesse Jacobs wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > > > I would like to backup my system minus some dirs. > > > > I print to a file the files/dirs i'd like to skip > > > > mount /dev/hda1 /boot > > find /proc > /tar.test.txt > > find /exports >> /tar.test.txt > > tar -cvjpsPf -X /tar.test.txt / /exports/backup-full-090303.tar.bz2 > > > > But when the archive starts the specified dirs are included :) > > > > I hope to use this for compiling a optimised i686/athlon-xp base to be > > used for my own rapid deployment. > > > > Also I've noticed the archives in /usr/portage/distfiles/*.tbz2 or > > tar.bz2 I was hoping I could tar these and extract to the fresh base for > > a little bandwith savings. > > > > Jesse Jacobs. > > Hi Jesse, > > You don't need to specify each file in the excludes file.
