Re: [gentoo-user] LiveCD distcc/Live CD's are Wonderfull
Rob, I have a similar problem with my short-term memory, but I don't think nearly as extreme; however, I'll be working on something, my mind will wander, and I'll forget what I was doing. But I'm only 22, I don't drink, and I've never done drugs.

Oh, this is OT, but perhaps not for the Absent Minded Professor Type hacker. Remember that there is a fine line between genious and insanity, LOL, per Nikola Tesla, my phantom mentor. Yes, it seems to be true, no short term memory. Yesterday I got my Disabled Motorist Permit, so I can park right next to the mall or store. If I venture out into the parking lot, I lose my car. It is a green Camry so it looks like 1000 other cars, so I have to contact security and they come help me find my car. It is not so bad as my doctors have competing theories. 1. Theory is that I burnt out my short term memory using drugs and alcohol, LOL. I have been clean and sober for years now, but I am 43 years old. 2. Theory is that since driving and parking is primarily an unconcious activity, I am unconsciously parking and not REGISTERING my car's location in memory. Thus it is always lost when I go to find it. Thus the solution is to sit in my car an meditate after parking so that suddenly I am living in the moment and the car location REGISTRATES in my brain. I am going to try this last procedure, as I don't want to be having Alzheimer's disease in my 40's. Thanks for all who listen. Now you know alot about me and who I am here in Hillsboro, Oregon, where all sun is liquid sunshine i.e rain, haha. I am Rob, disabled Berkeley BSEE, now turned Gentoo Linux hacker. I hope I can have coffee with Linus the next time he is up here. He works only 3 miles from where I live. Best regards, and sorry for this very OT OT subject.

The slow one is running Gentoo Linux, while the fast one is running Windows. I'd like to put together a LiveCD that can run distcc on the faster computer just via a reboot. There's a Knoppix mod with distcc, but apparently there are problems because of the version of gcc that Debian uses. Gentoo has some extra patches for better security, which can conflict with the Debian version of gcc. Is there a way I can build a CD with a Gentoo-compatible version of distcc? Hi Pingveno, Yes. An alternative would be to to run your distcc node as a diskless node. I have my system set up so that my diskless node shares all the same root fs as the server except for var and etc. That way the diskless node always have the same versions of everything. If you want you can also leave windows running if you run your distcc node on a colinux kernel. So which will it be, livecd or diskless node? You can use catalyst to build a livecd (that's how the official installation cds are built). I prefer to build livecds by hand. For both my diskless node and livecds I use a genkernel initrd that is patched to use unionfs for copy on write functionality. Zac __ Discover Yahoo!
