arddrive i think it has
ext3 write support..
Or should i go the other way around and put my data on an NTFS partition,
and if i do that is the NTFS write support stable by now.. it's been a long
time since i dual booted so back then NTFS support was not really a good
idea..
thank you in adv
here's a guide on the gentoo wiki to install the packages without portage
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_install_programs_without_portage
i guess it's the closest you can get if there's a way to do it with
emerge i'd like to know it for sure.

hello,
i was trying to install gentoo with the lastest gentoo-sources
(2.6.15-r3 i think) it's not detecting my onboard ethernet it used to
work fine with the 2.5.12
lspci shows the ethernet as CK804 (my board is MSI k8neo with nvidia
chipset) i compiled the nforce reversed engineered module it did
UPDATE
i loaded the forcedeath modules and ifconfig -a showed the card but as
i added it to the modules.autoload it said module not found what am i
missing?

ofcourse but i wanted to make sure it's clean since i have a 120GB
ext3 partition shared with windows so if the virus got in it would
re-infect the windows once i reinstall it and be on al
yep exactly what i need,
the way linux works would just make it hard to get infected but i had
a shared partition infected and that would be a good reason to have a
scanner

the new 2006.0 boots gnome and you can start graphical installer
now for the problem,
press ctrl+alt+F1 there you can kill configure your xorg with
xorgconfig when done restart X with
/etc/i
i know ati drivers suck but i booted the live cd on my x300se card so
i guess it's not really the problem.. maybe the screen don't support

this page shows that the 2.6.15-r1 is availiable for x86 and amd64
gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1
~alpha amd64 arm ppc ppc64 ~sparc x86
check if the 2.6 kernel is masked.. maybe sync again
though it's weird that all the other versions are masked .
That's very intresting, i actually only use windows xp since all my
university software don't run in wine (OU lan simulator, visual works,
mathcad) anyway having a power user seems to be a good idea i'll try
it when i reinstall windows
thx

i've run the live cd and the installer on my MSI neo4 with amd athlon

that i made myself by canceling the installation while still
partitioning the system it deleted the partitions but that was easliy
fixed.
a bug in the installer
Gentoo is pretty stable.. the installer isn't

i think this should be easy,
make the new partition copy the contenet of /usr to it
change your fstab to include the new modifications
i'm not sure how to delete the old one after it's mounted maybe mount
-o bind? or just boot a live cd and delete the content of your old
/usr from there when you re
try as root chown YOURUSER:users /home/YOURUSER -R
this should fix your permission problems
if it still don't load create a new user with a new home directory
start gnome there if it loads copy over your backups like .mozilla
.amsn and stuff
gnome once failed to load when i installed gentoo after

following the guide on gentoo.org gdm wouldn't start anymore.. i kind
of messed up the system after that.. now it wouldn't start X normally
i reemerged xorg 6.8 i was able to start X but fglrx is not working..
emerges are failing..
after an emerge -e xorg-x11 i got xorg 7 working again
however when i start gdm it just keeps restarting with no errors given
startx is working fine inface that's how i got into the system to

hello,i need to get my ethernet link speed to 10Mbits full duplex i'm using mii-tool to do it but is there a way to do it before net.eth0 starts at boot, maybe some line to add in /etc/conf.d/net i added the normal command i'm usign though it didn't seem to work, i then added it to /etc/init.d/net.
well actually it can function on 100 mbps but it would be extremly slow for some reason (really long cable) so the isp just told me to keep the link at 10 mbps.On 6/6/06,
