[gentoo-user] boot sector
I'm about to loose my boot sector because of a re-installation of a certain OS and was wondering the steps to get it back with the live CD(which i've heard that could be used as a boot disk). Do I have to mount everything and chroot in my hd system or i can perform it only by mounting /boot (/dev/hda1) to use my grub.conf file and do the grub-install /dev/hda from the live CD? thanks M.B -- __ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] Mozilla Firebird dependencies...
Hi, I'm totally in love with this software. Being a new browser, its evolution is pretty quick ans im trying to follow it to see improvement that is done. Today i tried to emerge -u mozilla-firebird but this came up [output] [EMAIL PROTECTED] mike # emerge -u mozilla-firebird Calculating dependencies ...done! !!! Error: the dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 package conflicts with another package. !!!both can't be installed on the same system together. !!!Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers. [/output] so i did...here's the output [output] [EMAIL PROTECTED] mike # emerge -up mozilla-firebird These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

[gentoo-user] iptables and nmap results
hi I've build myself a firewall with iptables. it's working great and all, except that using nmap to check how to see if i could see some difference on the OS detection option, and it's doing none. Remote operating system guess: Linux kernel 2.4.18 - 2.4.20 (X86) as i read somewhere on the internet, it's more secure if you're hiding the OS running on the web server. Does anyone knows how to block my server to deliver such informations? i'd like too to know if there's a way to make iptables to log unsucceful and succesful connections on my IP adress. another thing...does anyone has some programs or ways to check if my server is secure (on the connection side). thanks M.B -- __ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo and laptops (good one)

[gentoo-user] gentoo and laptops (good one)
Hi sorry for the other message, I've got a couple of questions... each time i boot my laptop, ive got to open /etc/X11/XF86Config as root and close it. if i fail to do that, my mice (the touchpad and the ps/2 mouse) keep going on the lower left corner and doing like a right-button mouse click...anyone knows a way to solve this? one thing i would like to know is how to make gentoo perform an hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda automaticaly on bootup cause now, ive got to do it manualy upon each bootup, same goes for internet, i got to perform an dhcpcd eth0, i tried things with rc-update but none achieve to solve my problems... is there a way to know how much power my batterie got left? (somewhere in /proc?) M.B -- __ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] comments on ebuilds
is there a place where gentoo users can rate the several programs that are in the portage tree?...like on the online package database accessible from the website, when you click on a package theres a rating or things like that ( a little like on Cnet) so other gentoo users could be guided when looking for a particular kind of software.

[gentoo-user] Tiny annoying problems
Hi, I will begin with a question, is it good to make a emerge -u system and how often should i do one? I heard it was dangerous to upgrade the system... i heard if it aint broke, dont fix it on the channel gentoo, but what's the point of gentoo if not for upgrades and up2date packages...I would have stayed with Debian if i wanted old stable packages. second, after an emerge -u world, some permissions changed on certain folder(well, i guess cause it was working just before), and chmod doesnt even change them i get no error message but the permissions stays the same... even a folder with read permission for everybody cant be accessed besides logged in as root. thanks all...
