Re: [gentoo-user] Can't boot from livecd
Hello, you probably have a recent chipset (blanking on name currently) which is recent such that support is not yet present in the linux kernel...

You should take note of the error message that occurs when you experience this problem and paste the error msg here
Re: [gentoo-user] nfs server problem
The error you are receiving indicates that you already have a service occupying the port that the nfs server wants to bind to, however only one service can bind to a port at any one given time. So you must find the service that is occupying the port nfs server wants to bind to and either disable that service or configure it to run on another port.

Don't install 64bit linux, there are unresolved issues with 64bit linux
Re: [gentoo-user] /tmp directory: best policy for clearing?
This can be done easily as shown:
*find /tmp/ -mtime +1 -exec rm {} \;
Change +1 to the number of days old you want the files to be before deletion

Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrading the kernel
It is quite simple, take this config file which is the default distro config: http://esc69.midphase.com/~moiress/good_config (compiles most everything as modules, if you don't want the compile to take forever you might want to change the config to only include what is absolutely necessary to boot your system) Then: 1) Download: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2 2) tar xvjf linux-2.6.22.9.tar.bz2 3) cd linux-2.6.22.9 4) copy the previously mentioned config file here, be sure it is named .config! 5) make oldconfig 6) make 7) make install 8) sudo update-initramfs -k kernelversion -c -v 9) sudo update-grub 10) edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and add initrd line below kernel line for the kernel you just compiled and installed 11) reboot and enjoy!
Re: [gentoo-user] Upgrading the kernel
Oops sorry forgot this was the gentoo list XD ... Just use this config: http://esc69.midphase.com/~moiress/good_config (rename to .config!) and do a make oldconfig and enjoy :)
