(Leaving all text intact for others to find all in one place.) Walter Thank You! This sounds very like what I am looking for for the consoles (though I would prefer longer lines). *And* it sounds like it won't mess with X. If I can't get X said wider console both working, I'll certainly try this. May even try it next time I boot Gentoo (in win now...) to ease the rest of the install work. Also printing this! ( B.T.W., Matir in LinuxQuestion.org provided an ATI-X link :: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers that looks hopeful; checking now. ) Thank You!, Robert G. Hays.

With $ make ARCH=x86_64 menuconfig there is no option for PCIe. You could try building a kernel for the i386 arch, then see if Xorg can access PCIe.

Re: [gentoo-user] help finding files
frankly maxim, your question would have been a lot more understandable if you had explained the problem something like this: I am trying to get dial up networking going, and portage wants me to install the following packages, but I need to download these on another system/os before i can connect to the internet on this box. how can i find and download the exact files I need? The answer is then simple, emerge -pf package will tell you what files portage wants and a list of urls where they should be found. simply download those files and get them into /usr/portage/distfiles and you should be fine. portage will find them there and not attempt to download them Like Holly i was confused about why you would want to download the packages outside portage, and that led to a lot of futzing around.

Thirdly, why are you Googling for the files? packages.gentoo.org links to the homepage for every package in Portage (and the homepage is usually correct). Fourthly, alternative to what? wvstreams, wvdial and mpg123? There may be alternatives, but since we don't know what is requiring them in the first place, it's hard to know if any alternatives would be appropriate. You might just as well be able to remove the flags from the requesting programs USE options and not require these programs at all. So the first thing I would suggest is doing an emerge -avt whatever and seeing why these packages are being installed in the first place, then you can make a more informed decision about what you want to do.

[Heck, I was worried about it because it would answer my roommate's win-box.] distcc does NOT check to make the the command-line it is executing is a compile, so you are basically given local access to the box as the distcc user for anyone that the daemon will listen to. I'm not *exactly* sure what webmin is for.

It is still not newbie friendly. More importantly, if you don't know what you are setting up, it doesn't really matter which firewall you use. Perhaps you should consider reading up on firewalls, which essentially try to hide your services from the rest of the world, rather than make them secure outright. also, how do i know if a packet/port is TCP, UDP or IMCP? when i go to set this up i need to know that, is there a way to tell? im kinda new at this. first firewall...woo-hoo, never figured i needed one until now :-/ thanks for any and all help. Nick Essentially, IP traffic is ICMP, TCP or UDP. Most that you care about is TCP. ICMP is used for pings and traceroutes mostly [other stuff you aren't likely aware of like resets]. TCP is the most common traffic, used in about everything popular [http, ftp, telnet, ssh, nntp, etc]. UDP is used in broadcast type information such as some times of broadcast video or audio. To get an idea of the services and their types, take a look around in /etc/services. Tom Veldhouse -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Did you build the driver as module or in kernel?
I went back and checked my settings, and it is built in to the kernel('*'
instead of 'M'). Still no luck. I tried a modprobe on it and it just
spewed errors from insmod. I can post them if necessary.
I have just built a 2.6 kernel and will try that. I heard whispers (on a

Are you using NFS by any chance? Or some other network-mounted file system for home directories (run 'mount' with no options to find out). Good idea! If you don't deem it sensitive, it might be a good idea to post it here too. I for one have had trouble with mounted volumes before, both local and remote ones. If it's not an nfs-mount, what filesystem are you using on the volume hosting /home? ext2, ext3, reiser or something else maybe? If it is indeed a network mount, you need to make sure you have necessary permissions on the server as it may not honor your local 'root' privileges. Also, in this case you need to double check if your 'cp ' commands above didn't screw things up i.e. you didn't end up with local copies of that stuff instead of the network mounted directories (could happen if you are running an automount). Automount seems to take control over the mount even to the extent that root is denied access in some cases, if youre running autofs, check your configs thoroughly, I've seen some cases where it (autofs) starts up with no errors, just to refuse all access later... The only other thing that comes to mind is a corrupt filesystem, in which case you can try 'shutdown -r -F 0' , where '-F' should force 'fsck' on reboot (even for journalized filesystems).

Nathan, Hi. Now I'm even more confused... OK, so I did the 'shutdown -Fr now' and let things proceed. fsck said it found one inode that should 2 but was 1 so it corrected it, rebooted another time and then came up fine.

At least in my case (desktop/home usage box), I originally used ext2/3. About a year ago, I switched all my boxes over to reiserfs, and the improvement in responsiveness and overall speed was, in a word, drastic- so much so that I would never consider going back ( I do use ext3 on my Gentoo /boot partition). I've never lost one bit of data when having to do a reboot after a lockup (I do lots of kernel and app testing with Gentoo ~x86 systems, and Mandrake cooker). The reiserfs journaling has always worked perfectly for me. I do work with generally small files, which reiser is suppose to excel at. I generally defer to Spider's expertise, but since it became clear that he was not a reiserfs fan, I thought I'd offer a different opinion, based on my personal experience with reiserfs. As usual, YMMV, and reiserfs might not be the best choice in all cases. Robert Crawford -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
