Anyone know off hand what package the chkfontpath command is apart of? On a red hat box there is actually a chkfontpath package, but I can't seem to locate anything like this in portage. I know can just manually edit the /etc/X11/fs/config file but I kind of like having the chkfontpath command ar

RE: [gentoo-user] grub help (hda1=winxp, hda3=linux)

You could also install grub into your root partition, use dd to copy the first 512k out into a file, transfer that file to your xp c:\ root, and then use XP's boot.ini to give you the option to boot linux instead of xp. This is the way I have always done dual boots w/ nt/2k/xp and I find it to be

Re: [gentoo-user] grub help (hda1=winxp, hda3=linux)

I notice you said you tried "setup (hd0,0)". That would be the first partition on the first hard drive (/dev/hda1). To install Grub into the master boot record the command would be "setup (hd0)". Hope this helps. On Thu, 2003-03-06 at 13:04, Ajay Sharma wrote: > hey everyone, > > I just finishe

If you like to try a nice (dangerous? i dont know, to me works fine with w98) from dos's fdisk: fdisk /mbr This clear the mbr and then you go to grub and try again. Good luck On Thursday 06 March 2003 18:04, Ajay Sharma wrote: > hey everyone, > > I just finished rebuilding my machine and I rep

hey everyone, I just finished rebuilding my machine and I repartitioned my box so that it looks like: /dev/hda1 = windows xp (ntfs) /dev/hda2 = linux swap /dev/hda3 = gentoo (ext3) no, I don't have a separate /boot partition. Anyway, I followed the installation instructions (excellent btw!) a

Is there a way to use etc-update to update all config files at once, either merge or replace? The manpage didn't have anything and doing them one at a time is a huge pain. Thanks, -- -Jason Giangrande giangrande.org - http://www.giangrande.org Dog's I View - http:

Yeah ofcourse, GUI itself is a process and it is handled concurrently by the OS. But, my question was, does GUI itself have some built-in functionalities to enhance the way of handling multiple process at a time. I came across some GUI applications, where if a single process gets somewhere hange

Re: [gentoo-user] My gentoo grub does not work properly (Wasinstalling gentoo on Thinkpad R31)
