Thanks for all the rsponses! why downtime? just create a directory, install the 64bit gentoo in that directory. Tar everything up, boot from livecd, untar the tar into the old system. Done. Downtime depends on the speed of your harddisks. Something between 5 and 30minutes. Top. Btw, why mailserver?
[gentoo-user] trying to run firefox
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I just did a emerge --update of firefox, and while that seemed to emerge with no errors, when I tried to run it, it tells me it can't load the XRE functions. This doesn't mean anything to me; does anyone know what that refers to, and how I might clear it up? BTW, the earlier version I'd had in, of portage's firefox, worked fine. I CAN say that, just previous to trying the update of firefox, I updated my gnome. That required a great deal of installation of dependencies (probably more, all told, that 100 packages) but worked fine and executes fine. However, perhaps some part of that is what hid my XRE functions? -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkixjP4ACgkQz62J6PPcoOm4lQCeJBzQejA9UyNGcf2A3aAXGUyn AMAAniW+O0scHh0uMjWr5GviDwdkN941 =+/fD -END PGP SIGNATURE-

I've had '-nls' in make.conf for a long time with LANG = en_US.UTF-8 . The latter allows apps to show Russian, Chinese, Esperanto etc , while AFAIK the former disables non-English help files etc. BTW the best way to set up make.conf is to have USE=-* then add all the flags you positively need here .

Could you try explaining this again, please? The adsl modem will not be connected with eth0, because the ADSL modem will (surely?) be ppp0. The aim is to close all incoming traffic except for, say, httpd port. As I'm reading it you can simply firewall all unsolicited incoming on ppp0 - ignoring all other interfaces - then open port 80. But since your explanation doesn't make sense I can't be sure I'm not missing something. Stroller.
