| fn1 | hydroge: yeah, it depends on a lot of things. But what will I expect from it (hours) ? |
| _bryce | fn1, and, normally, on your net connection's speed as well |
| _array | is_null: then there is an error compiling the .config, just google the error, or follow the genkernel dog |
| pauly | Hello. What is the command to list installed packages in gentoo? emerge -? thanks. ps i'm new to gentoo. |
| hydrogen | fn1: its impossible to tell you. |
| _array | s/dog/doc/ |
| fn1 | _bryce: I neglected the download time. |
| is_null | _array: you are mistaking person. |
| hydrogen | I've had installs take serveral weeks and installs take a few hours |
| zlin | mzbot: gentoo pauly gentoolkit |
| _array | is_null: ? |
| mzbot | pauly: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoolkit.xml |
| _bryce | A week is about average for me on account of my slow net connection. |
| is_null | _array: also you don't need to make dep bzImage no more |
| zlin | pauly: or you can use eix or portage-utils or ... :) |
| fn1 | hydrogen: I have a dual core Intel T5500 (1.66GHz) with 1.5GB of RAM. Does Gentoo utilize both cores ? |
| is_null | _array: i ahve no compiling error |
| _array | is_null: yeah, with 2.6.x kernels you dont have to make dep |
| hydrogen | fn1: yes |
| _array | is_null: with 2.4.x you still have to |
| is_null | of course |
| AStorm | fn1, it's like my machine :P |
| _array | is_null: if make install is failing, there is an error. google it. |
| fn1 | hydrogen: Sounds good. |
| AStorm | fn1, if you set MAKEOPTS and JOBS variables in make.conf properly |
| pauly | ok. Thanks:). |
| AStorm | the install (not counting configuration) should take I think like 2h |
| is_null | _array: you are mistaking person. I don't have no make install error because i haven't make install ever because it's not specified in the manual and i have several gentoo workstations and servers up and running without make install understand ? |
| fn1 | AStorm: I am just put off a little bit thinking that I won't have a complete system in a short period. Command line is no biggie for me, but I need at least a graphical browser to learn about Gentoo the most efficient way. (Oh, no links2 :p) |
| is_null | hahaha |
| Capso | Any guide to creating a boot CD? |
| is_null | _array: oh, and i beleive make install always update grub/menu.lst successfully and reports errors in case it doens't ? |
| Slowking_Man | Capso: A Gentoo livecd? |
| _array | is_null: oh, you were helping AStorm? I thought you were asking for help, haha |
| Capso | Slowking_Man: Just a boot CD. |
| zlin | is_null: it creates symlinks that you can use in grub.conf (I do that) - with those you don't ever need to alter grub.conf ... |
| action | hydrogen notes that ruby doesn't parallelize nicely :( |
| hydrogen | notes that ruby doesn't parallelize nicely :( |
| Slowking_Man | Capso: download a Knoppix ISO and burn it |
