[gentoo-user] changing firebirds default startup page globally?
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. -- Merritt Krakowitzer Confucious say "He who play in root, eventually kill tree" - Disclaimer Legal Notice: By having opened and read this electronic mail, you are deemed to have understood and accepted all disclaimers and conditions pertaining to electronic mail emanating from and received by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority, further detail of which may be viewed at the following link: http://www.sira-sa.co.za/disclaimer.htm -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

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. > Cheers, > Dan > > -- > Dan Fairs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > spiderplant.net - Disclaimer Legal Notice: By having opened and read this electronic mail, you are deemed to have understood and accepted all disclaimers and conditions pertaining to electronic mail emanating from and received by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority, further detail of which may be viewed at the following link: http://www.sira-sa.co.za/disclaimer.htm -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] cloning a gentoo installation
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. Contributed by: Merritt Krakowitzer Comments on this hack: 0 [05/19/03 | Discuss | Link to this hack] 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. See also: man ssh man dd --- Contributed by: Peter Schillerwein 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). > Try "ghost for Unix", or g4u: > > http://www.feyer.de/g4u/ > > I'm curious to hear if it actaully works myself ;-) > > | > > -- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > > -- Merritt Krakowitzer - Disclaimer Legal Notice: By having opened and read this electronic mail, you are deemed to have understood and accepted all disclaimers and conditions pertaining to electronic mail emanating from and received by the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority, further detail of which may be viewed at the following link: http://www.sira-sa.co.za/disclaimer.htm -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
