You can find a lot of information on that by searching the gentoo mailing list and forums. I may be wrong on this second option, but it seems to me that if you can remove the harddrive, you could put it in the Athlon and compile everything there. Make sure you compile with settings for the K6-2. When you compile the kernel, make sure you are compiling with options for the K6-2. Once everything is setup, put the harddrive back in the K6-2 and then you can make little tweaks here and there if necessary. If someone can spot a big flaw in this approach, please let us both know :P -- Zachary P.

Can anyone give me some pointers? You'll need to setup /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts with the settings for your wireless network. for example, mine looks like this: *,*,*,00:06:25:*) INFO="Instant Wireless Network PC Card" #ESSID="rit" ESSID="any" MODE="Ad-Hoc" RATE="auto" FREQ="2" ;; then setup network.opts with your network settings You may have to add an entry to your /etc/pcmcia/config file. I know I had to for the same card. I added this: card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card" version "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network PC Card", "ISL37300P", "RevA" bind "orinoco_cs" But yours may be slightly different. Now run /etc/init.d/pcmcia start or do rc-update add pcmcia default. You should hear a click or a beep. If not, try removing your card and then putting it back in. Then type ifconfig to see if it brought up your network. Or emerge 'wavemon' to see if you are getting a wireless signal. Check the log files if there is a problem. Good luck. -- Zachary P.

I tried Spider's suggestion of using the /proc/config from the gentoo boot cd and I still had the problem. I'm wondering if when I thought I had booted using the live cd's kernel if I actually just had the CD in there and spaced out. Who knows. Anyway, I installed slackware 9.0 (my previous love, before I tried gentoo) and compiled a kernel there, and it worked. So I figured I'd save the config file and try it with gentoo again. Well, this time it worked. The only thing I consciously did differently was I left a few more little options I wasn't sure if I needed in, and I took out framebuffers. One day, maybe when I upgrade the gcc on my other machine so I can use distcc, I'll try enabling framebuffers to see if that was really the problem. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. -- Zachary P. Landau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG: gpg --recv-key 0x24E5AD99 | http://kapheine.hypa.net/kapheine.asc pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Maybe debian has their own version of a compressed folders patch. It is also possible that there is a 'source' command in the debian .muttrc that includes another file with the hook, but usually mutt will report errors when you start up mutt. If you were missing a file that had it, I would expect you to have been notified about it. -- Zachary P.

This is a newer option in the kernel config. I forget exactly where it is, but you can add an option which creates /proc/config, which displays which configuration options were compiled into the currently running kernel.

[gentoo-user] Where did my ping go?
My first question is, what package is ping in with gentoo? I know normally it is with netkit, but gentoo split up netkit into a bunch of packages, and none of them seem to have ping in it. Somehow within the past day or so, ping disappeared. I'm guessing I somehow unmerged whatever package it was in, although that sounds unlikely to me. My second question is, is there a good resource to find out what package a specific program is in, if you don't already have it installed? It would help in my situation, but there have been other times. Some are pretty obvious, but a lot of the little unix utilities don't come in a package on their own, they are part of something much bigger. -- Zachary P.

[gentoo-user] Computer Reboots Instantly
I know this isn't exactly gentoo-specific, but I think it is closely related enough to be warranted. When I booted up the gentoo install cd on my computer, it booted fine. I installed everything, recompiled a new kernel, and rebooted. The boot loader loads up, but as soon as it tries to load the kernel, the computer reboots. Then I tried having grub use the install cd's kernel but with my root filesystem, and that booted just fine. My question is, what type of kernel options could make the computer reboot before anything at all is displayed? The only think I could think of is the optimization settings (but I think that would just lock it up) so I set those to 386 and it still happened.
