[gentoo-user] python2.4 directory
Hi I noticed that I still had python-2.4 on my system. Did a quick run of python-updater, to make sure nothing is using python-2.4 anymore and then unmerged python2.4. Should I manually remove /usr/lib64/python2.4, or is there a way to make portage do it? Regards Dirk

If you have successfully migrated to python 2.5 you should normally be able to remove this directory as this are probably leftovers from the old install where portage can do nothing about. To be save, what are the contents of this directory? Just site-packages with byte compiled python modules? -- Regards, Daniel

[gentoo-user] backup program recommendations?
Hi all, I am looking for a backup program that can back up to my DVD+-R/RW drive to back up my private portage tree/distfile/music/web server. What programs would you recommend to handle this task? TIA James Wall

Interesingly when I moved the sed script (sed "s/;/\\n/g") from Linux to Solaris it failed as Solaris sed doesn't like putting the newline character as the "translated to" bit. Installing GNU sed on the Solaris box sorted that out.
[gentoo-user] Making changes to a statically build driver
Hello all: I made some changes to the e1000 kernel driver. I then recompiled the kernel without any issue. How can I tell if the change actually went through? Again, this driver has been statically built into the kernel. Is there a way to test that a change went through without have to setup a test environment? -- Ezra Taylor

In my case, I combine a bash script to compress, rsync ... with cron to do the back up weekly. It seem to be quite convenient. If you have big files using rar is faster and save more space than tar.

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: backup program recommendations?
If you want to make backups, don't do it on a cdrom. Try rsync, it's a great backup tool. Here's a guide to dip your feet in: http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 8:48 AM, Hung Dang wrote: > Nikos Chantziaras wrote: > >> Hung Dang wrote: >> >>> James Wall wrote: >>> Hi all, I am looking for a backup program that can back up to my DVD+-R/RW drive to back up my private portage tree/distfile/music/web server.

Re: [gentoo-user] Making changes to a statically build driver
Never made such thing, so just a guess: maybe a log entry on some event, like link up - at that time, probably, the log engine is already up and running.

try the gentoo-embedded list, better chances to get an answer there. Francisco On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 8:32 PM, dhk wrote: > Is it possible to put Gentoo on a Telxon gun?

Re: [gentoo-user] Making changes to a statically build driver
I missed the bit where you said it was staic in the kernel - that besides, make it print something during load.
