There's no way to quit a fetch run if a single fetch fails. The main problem was that I did not fetch all the record packages for either -f or -F. As for quitting a fetch run, I only need to know that the fetch failed somehow because if it did, that's when the human should pay attention. It would be nice to capture the output and send it on etc. etc. but that's just simple scripting. But the detection of any failure even if the rest of the process completes is sufficient in this case.

Also suggestions on how to make dark ice capture the stream as well as stream so we can make this audio available for later playback. my second laptop will be demonstrating speech recognition on Windows dictating to (gentoo) Linux via coLinux. warning: this will be a critical commentary because of the major shortfall links in the HCI space as well as positive statement of how to fix things. -- http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.03/view.html?pg=5 The result of the duopoly that currently defines competition is that prices and service suck.

[gentoo-user] Re: FC2 to Gentoo conversion
Hi, Sorry to be a pest but I received no answers on this yet so I thought I'd try again. The machine below is now happily dual booting Gentoo and FC2. I can mount the FC2 home directory and see the user's directories but there are unassigned owner and group values (500/501/502, etc.) Instead of using useradd to create user accounts can I just edit /etc/passwd /etc/group and place identical entries in the Gentoo side as the FC2 side and then have both distros use the same home directories? (Without Gentoo actually creating them?) I'd then run passwd for each user and hopefully folks could log in. Or is there more to creating a new user account? Thanks in advance for your ideas here. BTW: the 2005:0 install went really well. The only limitation I ran into was the machine was intended to be wireless and the emerge of ndiswrapper didn't work so I've had to drag a cable around to get net access. That should get fixed soon. Thanks again, Mark On 4/15/05, Mark Knecht [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm looking at converting my wife's machine over to Gentoo. It's a first step toward this media server we're working on as her machine is close to all the TV stuff and has lots of unpartitioned disk space. This machine is currently running FC2 and I figure I'll go to 2005.0. What sort of things do I need to watch out for? I want to keep all user accounts identical between the two distros so that the /home partition is used identically no matter which distro is running early on. Is this possible? I expect that I'll start the Gentoo thing but probably need to go back to FC2 a couple of times along the way for her. To that end I presume that I need to set up Gentoo to duplicate FC's user and group numbers for users as well as FC's private group setup? (mark:mark instead of mark:user) Is this going to cause any problems under Gentoo? I cannot see why but I've not thought this through deeply. Are there any other things to watch out for? I was thinking I'd use the same boot partition and just put all the kernels in one place. I'd then be able to manage grub.conf no matter which one is running early on. I'll mount the existing home partition for users and create a new root and var partition for Gentoo. I'll reuse the existing swap partition for both distros. Certainly Gentoo will probably have newer application revisions so possibly I'll set up package.versions to be identical to FC2 for a while until the conversion is done. Maybe that's not necessary but it seems a safer thing to do for now. Are there any gotchas I should watch out for? I've not tried this before.
