[gentoo-user] jabber
I am trying to get a jabber server working under Gentoo. I emerged the package, but noticed there is no jabber.xml file for configuration. In fact, most files are not where the Jabber site says they shud be. I tried man jabber, and nothing there. I tried to find/locate all assocated files, but still no luck getting to work. Any suggestions? TIA Bruce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] cant not start Gentoo
My biggest problem is I try to run before I can walk. Alway crunched for time, and just dont take it when I shud. I am learning to slow down, and read more carefully. I gravated to Gentoo, because I do not have a vanilla computer, and hope to push it to its limits, farther then other Linux distros have allowed. So pse bare with me as I ask more questions and get into more trouble. Getting scsi to load, and now Gentoo to start were my first two biggest hurtles. Next X with my ATI Fire card and dual nic cards (something I never got to work with SuSE).

If you're new to Gentoo (like me) then let me point out that when you start doing a lot of updates you are one of these days run etc-update and the program is going to give you a 'new' fstab file. When it does, those names ROOT. BOOT and SWAP are going to reappear, and you'r going to have to enter these again. Write down the values and watch out for this problem as it's pretty common. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list Those names,ROOT. BOOT and SWAP won't reapear all by themselves. When you do some updates and portage tells you that there are 12 configuration files that need updating, BE VERY CAREFUL Look over every file that etc-update lists. In most cases, a file that you've never altered yourself can be safely overwritten but files like resolv.conf, make.conf and fstab will hurt you bad if you're not careful. Also, For Bruce, I tell anyone about to install Gentoo to get very stupid. Those of us with some Linux knowledge may get ahead of ourselves and make assumptions. If we swallow our pride and follow the instructions TO THE LETTER we are usually successful -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] remounting root as read/write
I almost have my system working, I got the scsi drives to work. But somehow I managed to damage my reiserfs root partition. I need to remount it as r/w to fix it, but I cant figure out how to do that. Pse help Best Regards, Bruce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] SCSI module loading problem
I tried to recompile the kernel from my working system (SuSE 8.1), but no luck. I tried to make a boot floppy during the initial creation of Gentoo, but I guess the kernel is too big, and I did not discover the boot floppy did not work until I rebooted and needed it. It seems my only option is to reinstall Gentoo again and start over since menuconfig or genkernel wont from my working Linux. But is there another way? FYI, I hope to make a permante switch from SuSE to Gentoo. SuSE 8.1 worked great with my dual Athlon SCSI system, but 8.2 is broken, it wont load my SCSI driver, but 8.1 did. Go figure. Gentoo did detect it and created the partitions during install. Best Regards, Bruce -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
