The solution to this, ugly though it might be, is to leave udev in the

Hi, Gentoo.
As I've said a few times in the current threads, the only thing

I have this horrible sneaking suspicion that it will be more complicated
than /sbin/init + OpenRC, just like udev + initramfs is more complicated
than udev, and CUPS is more complicated than classical lpr.

this might have been caused by a recent update to the ?event
library (I can't remember exactly what this was).
I hate it when people do "clever" things like this. How can I make it
stop?

. So I need the udev use flag. This is somewhat distressing, since
I've been running my system on busybox's mdev for several months. It's
looking like I'll not be able to continue doing so.
Any suggestions, anybody, how I can

Hi, William.
Thanks for the help! I had to emerge foomatic-filters-ppds, after which
it was easy. My printer now prints.

Hi, Gentoo!
I would like a telnet client installed on my gentoo amd64 system. When I
try
emerge telnet
, I get told that telnet doesn't exist.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a telnet client on gentoo?

it becomes /dev/sdc. However, my DVD drive is not /dev/sdc, it's not
/dev/sdd.
I've tried 'ls -lrt /dev', yet there's not entry there after boot time.
Would somebody please help me to mount this CD.
Thanks!

layouts in XFCE, how to make it's terminal have a black background and
things like that. I also need to find a decent PDF viewer, and a decent
