Hello People,
I have been playing with binary packages in portage for a week or so
now, I have a laptop that takes AGES to do compiles. I've tryed a number
of other approaches (distcc, nfs portage ect) but binary packages seem
to work the best for my situation. However there don't appear to be
So if there are any people out there who deal with binary packages
alot... please can you help me out with the following questions.
I guess I should volounteer here as that is something I do ;)
Cool!
What and how is metadata stored in binary packages?

Hello All,
I recently got a little 166 laptop to play with and I thought I'd have a
go at getting into X. As such I grabbed XFCE as a lightweight window
manager. I was also looking at IceWM and FVWM. XFCE had the most amusing
logo so it won ;) (Tho I may check out the others later)
So in the

When reading the docs this line jumped out at me:
All XFce 4 modules depend on GTK2
I thought that stange as I don't have gtk2 installed. Anyone out there
understand that? Are the two gtk libs close enough that XFCE can be
fooled into thinking that gtk is gtk2?
No, they have different
Ok... so there are gnome and kde USE flags. The descriptions aren't too
informative... things like 'adds support for gnome'. Now as I
understand
it XFCE is quite gnome like... should I then use the -gnome flag when
compiling X apps to use in XFCE? Or is using that flag only going to be

You might want to look into distcc. Basicly distcc hands of some of the
compiling work from one machine
Hia,
I have been having a few odd stability problems with one of my gentoo
machines. It's a dual PIII500 with 768MB of ram running two SCSI drives
in a software RAID 1 array. It had crashed a few times so I used the NMI
Watchdog to try and figure out what was going on. Anyhow it's crashed

However, I never installed it or used it. We used NFS to

I would like to use my Pentium 3 (1GHz) to compile gentoo for my Pentium

How does this work? Won't there be problems with misdetecting the

How can I tell where scsi_free() comes from? I'm guessing that it's from
the aic7xxx driver but how can I tell?
When you find a suspect routine, grep the kernel sources for it.
Duhhh... sorry, forgot to engage brain.
The last time I used this technique, BTW, I identified some buggy SCSI

Hot Diggety! Nick Fisher was rumored to have written:
Every kernel I have compiled for this one machine has failed. My general
test is to recompile the kernel multiple times (As recomended by
DRobbins). One of my kernels once made it through three compiles. If I
