You system is in ARCH, so it upgrades only to packages in ARCH. Once you installed a package out of ~ARCH which was removed from the tree, so it is no longer a valid package.

this is different from mutt's standard 'folder' variable.
And yes, you changed it?

cur, new, tmp subdirs are missing.
Try 'maildirmake ~/.maildir' if you have courier-imap or maildrop installed.
Otherwise: mkdir ~/.maildir/{cur,new,tmp} (; chmod 700 ~/.maildir/{cur,new,tmp})
BTW: you should consider to change /etc/mail/aliases to redirect root's
mail to a common user. don't forget to run newaliases after that.

It's in app-portage/deltup. It is perfect when you upgrade. With this tool you can patch the old source to the new one preserving the md5 digest. (Of course it is necessary that someone provides this xdelta/patch). It works great. There are some drawbacks: 1) These patches are not generated automatically. So there are not so many. 2) Gentoo doesnot 'support' it. The serverspace is sponsored by sunsite.dk. 3) The sponsored 100MB are already filled. Well, i think this is a very good way to go. It is good to reduce the transfer volume to less than 10 percent.

[gentoo-user] kernel on livecd (rc3) won't boot
Hello Gentoo-users! I thought about switching to the Gentoo-distribution instead of my Debian system, so I downloaded and burned the latest liveCD iso, the 3stages one. However, when I boot from the cd, the kernel doesn't start its initialization, ie. I never get the "Linux version x.x.x. ([EMAIL PROTECTED])", all output I get is "Decompressing kernel.. Ok, now booting the system". Then the system hangs. This is with noapic / apic=off passed as boot argument to the kernel, otherwise it just restarts. I've searched through the forums.gentoo.org and found some similar problems, though no thread included a solution for it. The computer I'm trying to install on is a Acer TravelMate 351TE laptop. I've never had this problem before with other dists/kernels. Since I don't have another computer to test the CD on, I don't know if it's related to the CD or the computer, but since other people have had the same problem, my guess is that it is has something to do with the cd-kernel configuration. Any ideas what might solve the problem? Perhaps one of the older iso-images will work, but what differences are there? Tia, Torsten -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
