HI group,
My netbook has only (4+8)G of sketchy SSD + SDHC RAM for everything
and I am determined not to emerge anything I don't really need.
But now that I'm mobile I have the capability of doing a -uD world
whenever it's required without having to take days of dialup time.
Question is, when's

Emergency here. After my eee pc boots I log in and enter '#ifconfig

On a related note, I see that CONFIG_NR_CPUS only allows for 8 in the
30 kernel. Trying any other number leads to an error "Invalid Number"
, whereas for the 29 kernel, 64 seems to be the default.

fyi, sound card problems when updating to 2.6.30 seem to be common.

I'm using it but can only download from a link to youtube in another
web page or google, for example. Shouldn't there be a button on
Youtube itself,
the browser and migrate away from the page on
account of my tiny bandwidth. But it works, very kewl :)

Hi group,
according to the docs the approved method of removing old
gentoo-sources is emerge --prune. But I've already used rm -rf on
them. Have I set myself up for a problem later?

Hi group,
When my netbook boots under battery power w/o the ac adapter connected
I get this warning msg in the boot window: 'Skipping fsck due to not
being an ac adapter'. Chaos ensues. The warning appears in
/etc/init.d/fsck.
How do I fix this? Some option in /etc/conf.d/fsck?

There's nothing wrong with the filesystem. It's ext2 and requires
being checked at every boot. Before that it wouldn't boo
boolean thing I can put in /etc/conf.d/fsck to
over-ride it, but apparently not.

aarrrgh!! I'm the one with the netbook!! The default didn't work.
Checking fs every boot does. Extra reboot time amounts to a few secs
vs not booting at all, dammit!

What the hell do you think I'm doing?

logic? all I'm aware of is someone who insists on having the last word
at all costs.
Help me, my eye!
