Re: Your earliest ooh, shiny (was: [gentoo-user] Floppy support question)
Guys, I feel with you - I was there, too. But please stop scaring the youngsters.

Re: [gentoo-user] mono and odbc
Hi, according to http://www.mono-project.com/ODBC the System.Data should contain everything you need (aside from odbc, that is) So you'll need dev-lang/mono (and dev-db/unixODBC or dev-db/libiodbc for odbc) But - are you sure you'll want to do this? Odbc - really? Yours, Nils 2011/8/22 cov...@ccs.covici.com: Hi. I have heard thet there are drivers for mono to work with unixodbc, but can't figure out which package if any, I should emerge to get that functionality. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com

Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo on Cygwin
Ok, thanks. I'll keep trying then ;-) Nils 2011/4/25 Alex Schuster wo...@wonkology.org: Although I like the idea very much, I never tried this myself. I only know that Al posted some questions here and told about his plan, and I see that he wrote the wiki article. Wonko

[gentoo-user] Gentoo on Cygwin
Hi, I kind of stumbled across http://gentoocygwin.sourceforge.net/ - sounds interesting... Since there is no News after 2003 I did not try to install... (need a vm first...) Does anyone know about the project? Is it dead? Nils
Re: [gentoo-user] What needs x11-libs/libxkbui?
Hi, equery depends doesn't show anything ... so I followed emerge --depclean's suggestion and unmerged it. Have I borked anything? Most probably not. I generally trust --depclean, But I generally follow --depclean's advice and run revdep-rebuild afterwards. I'm asking this, because it also suggested I remove dev-libs/boost-1.41.0-r3 and dev-util/boost-build-1.41.0, but akonadi would not start without them (dbus error). IMO, if akonadi depends on boost, the ebuild should reflect that. Have you tried rebuilding akonadi? (Did you ran revdep-rebuild?) Nils
[gentoo-user] The new guy
Hi, I'm Nils - the new guy. I have been using gentoo since 2005.0 (or something...) and linux (as THE single os installed) since '98. Im above 30, a bit on the heavy side but I can see my toes when I look down (and bend my head only slightly...) I kind of stumbled across the mailing-lists recently...

I find it nice when someone introduces him/her on a list, forum, whatever - for me that includes a word or two about oneself. The describing-myself part was not-so-serious. All true, though.
