[gentoo-user] changing firebirds default startup page globally?

2003-06-25 Thread Merritt Krakowitzer
when editing the all.js file and changing the following

pref("browser.startup.homepage",
"chrome://navigator-region/locale/region.properties");

to

pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.mysite.org";);

Mozilla crashes on startup with no errors. Am I doing this wrong? All I am
trying to do is change the default startup page. I'm rolling out firebird
to 100 workstations and I dont want to set this manually for each user.

Changing other settings in the all.js file like the proxy have worked like
a charm.

Im using: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030611
Mozilla Firebird/0.6 on gentoo offcourse.

Um its nothing, It just beeps, let it annoy you for a few hours till its
finished, I have no idea why it does this. I think it has to do with the
firebird source itself rather than emerge.

Re: [gentoo-user] cloning a gentoo installation

2003-06-18 Thread Merritt Krakowitzer
I didnt catch the begining of the thread so forgive me if Im way off, but
I do the below to clone gentoo, below mine there is another way to do it
using rsync.

cloning disks over the network
I needed to clone a number of notebook hdd's for a small rollout. I'm a
lazy bastard so I thought the easiest way to do this was over the LAN.

First boot up the target machine, you need have an sshd daemon running on
the target machine with a network interface. In my case I used the gentoo
linux bootable cd.

start the sshd daemon with
#/etc/init/sshd start
you will also need to change the root passwd
#passwd
If you need more info RTFM.

next bootup the machine you are going to clone, login as root and type the
following

#dd if=/dev/hda bs=10k | ssh $TARGET_IPADDRESS
\ dd of=/dev/hda bs=10k

Wait a couple of hours and your done.

Note: The drive geometry needs to be exactly the same. There are probably
better ways to do this.

This clones a running linux-system (really):

rsync -v -r -p -o -g -D -t -S -l -H \
--exclude /mnt/   \
--exclude /proc/ \
--exclude /tmp/ \
--exclude /home/ / /mnt/fireball/

The target-disk is /mnt/fireball in my case. We assume the target-disk is
empty at the first time. My home is on a another disk, so i skip it . The
options are:

--verbose
--recursive
--perms
--owner
--group
--devices
--times
--sparse
--links
--hard-links
# next time(s):
--delete

If you want to see first what happens, add:

--dry-run

Boot from a CD-ROM and mount the target-disk. Fix fstab and lilo.conf.
Create /mnt and /proc and set the right permissions (for this
directories). Then run lilo and reboot. Next time you run rsync, add these
option to the command-line:

--exclude /etc/fstab \
--exclude /etc/lilo.conf \
--delete

Be carefull. This procedure works with a full-blown woody (~70,000 files).
