Re: [gentoo-user] Quickest/easiest Gentoo install?

2020-07-07 Thread Michele Alzetta
On an old laptop I tried all the various quick graphical options of installing a Gentoo derivative distro, with the idea that it would then be simple to gentooize it. I tried various distros derived from Gentoo, even quite obscure ones. This didn't work so well. I ended up doing a manual install

... I just hope the remote system isn't running systemd, if so, you have to do some additional tweaking before screen or tmux work. I know someone who was bitten hard by this. Apparently systemd by default closes all running processes of a user on logout. Il giorno ven 24 apr 2020 alle ore 09:47

HI all, I have the self-same problem with this card on a dual boot windows98 / gentoo system. In fact, I have TWO 8139 cards installed and the problem is present with both. Windows actually disactivates only the one it uses, and not the other. On another mailing list I found someone suggesting
