Did I miss something? Be kind: rewind... According to man rsync: "There are two different ways for rsync to contact a remote system: using a remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh) or contacting an rsync daemon directly via TCP." I'm using remote-shell and I'm wondering what benefit the daemon has. I probably wouldn't have to enter the username/password? - Grant
[gentoo-user] Building and Installing with gentoo to non-gentoo Linux
Hi, I have small device running linux. I've set up crossdev and compiled a few binaries for it and tested that they don't break, including recompile of the original kernel. I wanted to use emerge to build binaries for my device, but I don't want portage on it, only to build the binaries and copy them. I've build python, but I don't know what files should I copy and to where, exactly. There's nothing about in the embedded handbook, the handbook assumes I would build and mount a gentoo like system for my device.

That's the one. Imagine every gentoo user needing a shell account on rsync.gentoo.org to use when they emerge --sync :-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Re: [gentoo-user] Building and Installing with gentoo to non-gentoo Linux
You can tell portage to build binary packages, and then decompress those packages to get all the files you need specifically for that package. You can also build a whole gentoo system and then remove /usr/portage (about 1Gb), this will leave you with something very close to a LSF (linux from scratch) system but with few minor gentoo files. In both cases, maintenance will be your main problem (upgrades mostly) and unless you don't mind having a system that is hard/impossible to upgrade, I would look into that also!

Just to follow up - turns out this is the problem - when I change from separate x screens to only one x screen, or even to xinerama, the problem is not there... -- Iain Buchanan Life is a whim of several billion cells to be you for a while.
[gentoo-user] unicode losting
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I update last month to new profile (using eselect) and since that time I nitice that my unicode doesn't work properly. I configured my gentoo-box using unicode wiki on gentoo website, but it seems that new profile disactives my unicode setting and by update I lost unicode support. How can I solve it?

[gentoo-user] mounting NFS (RW RO)
Hello I have exported 2 directories via NFS - one RW - second RO - both directories are on the same partition. I noticed that order of mounting those shares is really important - when i mount first share RO and second RW - the second one is RO as well - when i mount first share RW and second RO - everything is OK Of course in my scripts I have changed the order of mounting and everything works fine but I think it's a bug and sometimes can be harmful... Has someone had some problem ? ? ? PS. NFS server is on mandriva, nfs client is on gentoo when client is on mandriva as well everything is OK - so that's why i think it's gentoo issue regards nichu
