Hi,
I built a Gentoo machine for my dad who is located about 350 miles
away. He's been using it for 2 weeks now and is loving it. Cool to see a
75 year old guy using Mozilla and Evolution.
I have two drives at his site, one internal and one external. I've
set things up for me to do manual ba
IIRC the LiveCD does support ssh. You might have to start the ssh daemon
with /etc/init.d/sshd start. Long ago I used it to get the stage 1 tarball
from one of my machines to the box that was to be a Gentoo box.
Backups:
/home/*
/etc/*
/usr/local/anything you've added here.
Seems like I'm mi
What about making the 2 Drives software RAID 0?
That way at least 1 drive can fail and you can continue.
One thing about using a LiveCD is that you will need to configure the
Internet / Dialin Connection over the phone unless you modify the CD and
burn it

Ummm I think you mean RAID1

In RAID 0 if you lose 1 drive you lose the data that is on both.

I believe you will be limited in speed to the slowest drive in the pair.
Considering that one is an external drive, in the current setup RAID 1
will probably be unacceptably slow.

I'd add /var/cache/edb/world, so you know what packages you had emerged
before.
I'd also add, for example:
/root/* - who doesn't change things there ?
/var/cache/edb/virtuals (i removed that emacs monster because i

/var is not another /tmp directory, there are lots of things in it, specially
in /var/lib
You should definitely not exclude /var from your backups.
So keep /var in your backups, but remove /var/log, /var/tmp, /var/ru
