The blank=fast portion can be omitted if you don't want to erase the

I don' t need a /tmp backup (I guess) but there should be an empty /proc and /dev/ to serve as the respective mountpoints. When I would specify /proc then I would get all entries on the DVD, right? Which is certainly not what I intend. And when I specify /dev what will be stored on the disk? The devicenodes or will it try to store the content (which would obviusly be nonsense). I use partimage (in portage) to create a single file for each partition, then $ growisofs -R -J -Z root.000 /dev/sr1 partimage can also split the image at a certain size, for multiple dvd's and there is a copy of it on knoppix for the restore. -- Tom Wesley signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Can this DVD then be mounted as normal and individual files copied over? Also I wonder where I have to store that file, or does it do this directly from the partition? Your description sounds as if I would have to create a file first which is burned to DVD then. This is not an option because I don' t have enough diskspace to do this and I don' t want to have to keep a disk empty just for the purpose of creating every now and then a backup. Fair enough, this probably doesn't do what you want. I use to to backup my root partition, creating it temporarily on my home partition. You could probably get around this using packet-writing on the dvd, although I've never tried to get that to work.

Currently I have them in the official gentoo tree so there would be no need for it, but at some point in the future it would vanish there as well. Shall I copy the files to local and delete them in the normal tree or shall I keep them there and let nature run its course? Would emerge be confused in that case because then I have two ebuilds with the same files. Or is it ok to delete them, but I guess with the next rsync they would be recreated there anyway. As the next rsync will undo any changes you make to the official tree everything should be affected in the overlay directory. This will do just that, overlay any files of the same names from the official tree. So if you copy the 2.4.23 ebuild to the overlay, modify it in some way and then emerge $your_ebuild, portage will use the ebuild from the overlay directory. -- Tom Wesley signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Not at all picking, or in anyway violent in my language (I can come across a little pointed at times... :) In your mail client/server somewhere you have set the reply-to option. I use Evolution and have the option in the Mail Account settings to add a reply-to header to all outgoing emails. You, as many people do, have done this - therefore Evolution honours this request and by default sends replies to your address rather than the lists. As I am quite sure you have very little against the sharing of knowledge through a mailing list, you probably intended any reply to be returned to the list and your subscription ensure that you get the reply. I have deliberately used the Reply to all option in replying to this, so that the list and your personal mailbox will get this text, although I suspect that you will get both copies. I only add this as I feel my request was misunderstood. If it is standard list policy for all replies to go to the list then this should enforced. If it is not then people should either a, stop complaining about off-list replies, or b, stop requesting off-list replies via the reply-to header. As is seems to be general consensus on the list that replies should be sent to the list itself, should it not be time for the Gentoo list maintainer to add this header manipulation?

As I understand it, here's what I need to do: - Install kernel 2.6.0-test11 - Set the nptl USE flag - emerge glibc (2.3.2 ok?) - emerge wine This would do it. I'm not sure if wine would need to be re-emerged but it wouldn't hurt. As I understand it, NPTL is a different implementation of the threading API rather than a different API altogether. I read somewhere that I should use GCC 3.3 (I'm using 3.2.3). Is there any truth to this? Is there any reason /not/ to upgrade GCC? I don't think that gcc3.3 necessary for NPTL. gcc3.3 has other advantages (better optimization and such) but does not work for some apps. Fortunately, most (maybe all?) problem apps have patches in portage already. Do I need to re-emerge anything else? That should be it. Also be aware that some apps don't work with NPTL. The only one I have come across is app-i18n/canna but there are sure to be others. Probably very few, though. This method worked for me perfectly over the weekend, although I re-emerged everything as I changed my cflags too... Wine does make direct use of the nptl use flag, so I guess it should be re-emerged. -- Tom Wesley signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

On Sun, 2003-12-14 at 20:05, Patrick Börjesson wrote: Any postfix-gurus here? Thought I'll just post the question and see if someone might have mercy on me and answer it =) So... Say I have a unresolvable hostname (e.g. host.mydomain.com) because of being inside an unaccessible intranet. The intranet has a smtp-server which relays mail for us inside the intranet. The problem is now that I want all the mail that is send from my machine which don't have a domain in the to-address to be rewritten so that it uses $myhostname instead of $myorigin. I can't set $myorigin to $myhostname as the smtp-servers outside the intranet will try to resolve the envelope-address (which would be host.mydomain.com) and fail, which mean that they'll reject the mail. And if I set $myorigin to $mydomain and change nothing else postfix will rewrite all the to-addresses that has no domain (e.g. root) to username@$mydomain which will send the mails going from my daemons to the useraccount on our gateway (not something you want to do if you don't want to piss the admin off). So the best solution that I can think of is to make trivial-rewrite append $myhostname to the unqualified to-addresses instead of $myorigin, but I can't seem to find if and how this can be done... Another choice I have is to make a virtual map with all the local addresses that should go to local addresses on my machine, but this seems risky as if I forget an address then those mails will go to the gateway... I'm hoping for someone to give me a possible solution for this dilemma. Thanks in advance. Patrick Börjesson I'm certainly not a guru, but I recall there is a smart forwarding option with postfix, essentially other than that it can smart-forward emails to external addresses to an externally accessible smtp server. -- Tom Wesley signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
