The necessary module should be part of every kernel and works without problems. I don't even have the e100 package installed. My NIC: Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82801CAM (ICH3) PRO/100 VE (LOM) Ethernet Controller (rev 42) Kernel Config: CONFIG_E100=m CONFIG_E100_NAPI=y Hope this helps, richard signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I believe it's exactly the other way round, otherwise it would not make much sense to set up a mirror in the first place... I've deleted the local ImageMagick file to see what happens: portage first tries to download the file from the first mirror in my GENTOO_MIRRORS list, then the second, etc... I guess if it still cannot find the file it uses the SRC_URI location defined in the ebuild. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [gentoo-user] distfile locations
Hi, There are dozens of HTTP mirrors for Gentoo, just look at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/mirrors.xml and find several close to you. Then add them to your /etc/make.conf using the GENTOO_MIRRORS option. This could look something like this: GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at/ ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source/ ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/gentoo " Maybe you should emerge sync as well, since portage seems to try downloading already outdated files. Hope this helps. Greetings, Richard On Sun, 2005-01-23 at 11:01 +0100, Antoine wrote: > Hi, > I recently posted a bug which was closed as a non-issue.

[gentoo-user] Safe to upgrade glibc?
Hi list, Is it perfectly safe to upgrade glibc to a newer version? In my case this would be: [ebuild U ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 [2.3.3.20040420] I remember reading somewhere that you have to recompile your entire system since everything is linked to glibc. I've also heard of people who managed to screw up their system just by upgrading... TIA, Richard signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
