[gentoo-user] Odd USB external hard disk does not play nice with KDE

2009-07-21 Thread brullo nulla
Hi, I just bought a novel, 1.5 Tb USB external HD. The kernel recognizes it nice and well, and I can mount and unmount it as root, lookin' its content etc. without problems. But KDE refuses to "see" it as a new media. It does not even appear in the "media:/". The odd thing is that it is the first

[gentoo-user] Installing Gentoo from another Linux distro

I'm getting ready for a remote Gentoo install. I'd like to avoid any sort of CD/USB/floppy usage. I can select a variety of different distros to be preinstalled on the system. Can I end up with the same Gentoo system installing from another distro as I can from a LiveCD? I've read over: http://

So what's the question? You can install gentoo from a live cd, in fact you could try to drop to single user mode and fire up a new kernel via the LiveCD, but alas that may be a bit precarious. Next to that I'd say format your file system and go from the LiveCD, why don't you ahve console access?

Hi folks, I use dial-up and sometimes my ISP "looses" its DNS server for some reason. If I try to go to a site, it just says looking up and sits there until it times out. Going to the IP directly still works. My question is this, is there a way to "reset" the DNS servers listed in /etc/resolv.c
