Hi
I'm VERY new on GENTOO
I'm from Argentine, my english (and my spanish too), is very poor
I was using RedHat until 6.2, I allways made all configuration, compilation,
etc, etc by hand
I have scripts to install a complete RH 6.2 server with more than 1000 lines
Now, I'm trying to understand how
Stable x86 just got a new apache server, and it's puzzling me.
For one thing, /etc/conf.d/apache2 now ends with this
# Environment variables to keep
# All environment variables are cleared from apache
# Use this to preserve some of them
# NOTE!!! It's very important that this contains PATH
# TODO

What did you think? I thought it was super cool, except it's resource
utilization is so high i don't run it anymore if I can avoid.
I thought it looked interesting, but much more then I really need.

Knoppix is *NOT* a rescue disc! It lacks some essential tools, eg.
LVM stuff.

You only need an initrd, if you wish to have / on LVM. But if you put
/ (incl. /boot) on a normal partition, there's no need at all for an
initrd.

Current stable version of bash is 3.2_p17! Maybe try this one.
3.2_p15-r1 is not in the tree anymore. Maybe you should sync your tree!

Thank you. I noticed that when I ran "make oldconfig" on a new kernel, the
configs were not what I'd expected. The wrong CPU type was configured.

I'd like to adjust the sound levels coming out of my computer in a
manner similar to an equalizer. I'm using a Sound Blaster Live and
alsamixer only has the standard bass/treble adjustment available. Is
there a way to get a more fine-grained control over the sound before
it hits the sound card?

Right. I think I might have confused the necessity to have an initramfs
