Understood. I think it sort of morphed into something more general,
like what to do when the rest of us run into the occasional problem we
all run into. Yesterday our MythTV backend server crashed 4 times. It
hung completely killing X, etc. and I was in need of a good way to
bring the machine down. I found this topic both timely and helpful, at
least for future problems.

I just use bind - setup to lookup from my ISP's nameservers and cache only.
The main reason for this was my ISP's ones are very slow (sometime 0.5 s
to resolve!) - turning on the cache made an enormous difference to the
perceived performance.

In general, is there an easy way to determine what is using a module?
For instance, if I do lsmod and see that a module is in use by one
process, how do I tell which process that might be?

Hi,
OK, so this machine I Was speaking of earlier seems ot have a
number of issues created by a profile update. I'm attempting to move
from 2005.0 to 2007.0. I'm using these documents as reference:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml#doc_chap3
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage
Thanks Alan,
Sorry for top posting. I noticed these very old machine have only
8GB drives in them. Looks like I'm actually going to replace the
drives and then do new installs from scratch.
Thanks for your help!

Extra points I suppose if it can write the output to a different
machine across the network - Windows XP or Gentoo - so that I don't
have to deal with storage issues in this end.

I was wondering that myself. I suspect you can change the profile and
then look at something like emerge -pvDuN world and see what it would
do.
I use eselect but didn't know about this profile option. Nice.

cannot get to the net for
updates. I think now I'll start on the Gentoo install, get a drive set
up that the XP partition can see (small FAT or NTFS drive) and then
use Gentoo to get the drivers onto the system so that XP can start
working. You might not have that problem with your OEM di
into
programs that spew so much stuff into /var that they will fill up the
partition. If that happens then I cannot log into X until I clean it
up. It's just what I do.
I put in a 2GB swap partition. It's not 2x memory but I really think
it's unlikely that I'll need it. If I do then I'll size down the data
sharing partition which I'm putting at the end of the drive and put it
out there.

have them. The nVidia instructions say I have to install
Service Pack 1a first and without networking I had to scrounge around
for those, burn them to a CD, and hopefully get them installed
tomorrow.
The basic lesson is that M$ pushes the OEMs to abandon XP and its
getting harder and harder to install XP all the time.
Just a small heads-up. Not an issue if you like the version of Windows
your system came with.

save a brand new system.
In that thread one person pointed me toward this page:
http://blinkeye.ch/mediawiki/index.php/GNU/Linux_System_Backup_Script_(stage4)
which I tried out. It seemed to work OK for me. I had to edit jsut a
coupl eof lines to work with my setup
but other than that I
virus scan.
I'm thinking I might as well treat data like data and just back up the
windows partition just like I back up the Gentoo partitions, using
Stage4 to do that and creating something I can reinstall using Gentoo
quite easily.
The only risky portion might be the quality of a
t to mess up
the exiting drive.
If this is correct then I'll chroot into the new environment for
testing, adding grub, etc., and then do a BIOS change to boot off of
the second drive and hopefully be live.
Thanks,
Mark

This seems 'relatively' straight forward. I haven't built it yet
but I found isomaster in portage. Is it a good tool? Should I just do
this from the command line and if so how? How do the Gentoo packagers
put together the in

you want, or pop it if you want, and best of all:

Yeah, now that you can do pop or imap, gmail is pretty convenient. With
respect to spam - I've got 993 messages in my gmail "spam" folder...
which I think is quite a lot, are you not being deluged in this
here and wait for me to type in the
stuff that's in grub.conf anyway?
Thanks,

are complete I move the images for both Windows and Gentoo to the same

have Windows and Gentoo backup
