| ToxicFrog | It has always been my plan to install it, set it up, fine-tune it and then convert it into a netbootable image. Seriously, you have no idea how loud this drive is. |
| rullie | get another one :) |
| ToxicFrog | Or I could make it netbootable. If I can trim it to under 128MB I can make it USB-bootable, if I can convince the BIOS to boot from USB and/or GRUB to load an initrd from it. |

| pl0xy | If I install Windows on a seperate partition, can I boot into a live cd and re-setup Grub? |
| killer | hey everyone is there a tool to remove all old packages from /usr/portage/distfiles? |
| tdr | pl0xy yes |
| mattmatteh | killer, rm -Rf /usr/portage/distfiles/* |
| rullie | killer, yes, there are scripts |
| mattmatteh | rullie, scripts ? |
| rullie | mattmatteh, note "old packages" ? |
| mattmatteh | rullie, which one ? |
| pl0xy | tdr, don't you do setup from the grub shell or something? I can't quite remember |
| killer | i don't want to remove all files |
| pl0xy | tdr, setup (0,0)? |
| killer | just the outdated ones |
| rullie | killer, i saw one in the forum before, look it up there |
| tdr | pl0xy just boot the cd, mount your partitions, chroot, and redo installing grub |
| par0le | anyone know the easiest way to determine my sound driver if alsa is working on livecd with sound? |
| rullie | par0le, lspci, probably |
| killer | got it ;) it's called eclean thx |
| rullie | killer, oh :) didn't know they have it in portage util now |
| par0le | hmm, dunno what the sound driver for nvidia high def mcp55 would be |
| billfur2 | what is a sudo command that lets you run graphical programs? |
| _array | hey guys, what package does lzm2dir come in? |
| rullie | par0le, chances are it's in the kernel |
| killer | yeah they do have but its buggy |
| rullie | billfur2, graphical programs? |
| par0le | rullie: don't remember seeing it |
| billfur2 | yeah, like if you do sudo gedit it can't open the display |
| nanonyme | course it can't :) superuser can't access your X server |
| Matthew_ | sorry to say it, cause I was really hoping it would work out, but I give up on gentoo (for a while, at least). It's simply too much work for too little payback. Sure, I may make my programs run 1.2x faster than generically compiled ones, but I lose 2 hours compiling them for myself. In my eyes, that's a loss of productivity. |
| billfur2 | nanonyme, works natively on ubuntu =( |
| nanonyme | billfur2: it's a privilege matter iirc you can set it to work |
| _array | how can I decompress lzm in Gentoo? |
