<0> thanks alot znx <3
<0> ok so if i have a directory within a directory and i want to `release' the files in the second directory into the first, what can i do?
<1> release ?
<0> ok like within ~./fluxbox/styles i now have 3 folders with those styles contained within them
<0> to get fluxbox to see them they need to individually be in /styles
<1> jahshua: depends
<1> some styles are in dirs.. like ~/.fluxbox/styles/stylename/theme.cfg
<1> it will always be theme.cfg btw..
<0> ok right
<1> otherwise they should be ~/.fluxbox/styles/stylename
<0> yes
<2> Would my dhcp possibly be screwing over my vnc server?
<1> Navrax: if your ip is changing?
<2> configuration not set for eth0 ***uming dhcp -----
<2> and after that I get eth1 does not exist
<2> I can still browse webpages :)
<1> Navrax: do you have more than one interface?
<2> znx: What do you meeeeean?
<1> as in nic ..
<1> er .. network card
<2> No man, one network card in the box, I had another BOX up?
<2> but it's offn ow
<1> Navrax: check rc-status
<1> make sure that only one net.ethX is running
<3> I have an enormous battery operated vibrator.
<2> brb
<1> kutzooi: that is WAY too much info !?!?!?!?
<3> Eh?
<2> Yeah, check rc-status doesn't work
<2> cmd not found
<1> Navrax: as root?
<2> Nothin
<1> :/
<1> Navrax: gentoo?
<2> ofcourse dude
<1> did you su -
<2> yeah
<1> :\
<1> well it does exist
<1> /bin/rc-status
<1> i can even run it as user..
<2> Ok netmount-started local-started -domainname-started net.eth0 OFF net.eth1 OFF pcmcia started syslog started vixie cron started blah blah
<1> ah i see the issue :)
<1> Navrax: remove net.eth1 from your default startup :)
<2> how ?
<2> Would that Fix VNC!!:D ?
<0> lol
<0> poor Navrax
<2> Man i'd be so happy
<0> ask Shad0wcat, he might know
<4> but ya he's correct, I DO know
<2> znx, how do you remove net.eth1 from the default startup?
<2> startuprc or something
<1> Navrax: rc-update del net.eth1 default
<2> cmd not found
<0> mmh i cant wait to get another box so i can attempt my Gentoo build again
<2> Er nm
<2> znx thanks
<4> jahshua: there's a reason I don't recommend gentoo that often
<0> heh
<0> yah
<3> :o)
<4> unless you know every config file in linux, it's location, and its syntax
<0> 5 hours and then tears
<0> yah
<4> you cannot reliably carry out a stage1
<4> or maintain one
<0> hmm ok
<0> food for thought
<4> because everything in gentoo is manual
<0> ye
<0> openbsd install is peanuts compared to it
<4> it IS Linux From Scratch with a fancy package management system
<0> do you like Gentoo Sh4dowcat ?
<2> Yeah i still can't vnc :(
<4> I know it's efficient
<2> The p***word dialogue just doesn't want to peak it's face out
<4> Navrax: no that's because you screwed up something deep in your configuration
<4> and because it's gentoo you're gonna be digging for it for weeks
<2> You know anything better than anyone Sh4dowcat
<4> actually it's just math
<4> if you make one conf file manually, it's one combination you can get wrong
<4> two, it's two
<4> three, it's 3*2*1=6
<2> how do I rid my system of Portsentry?
<2> That's the last thing I did, install portsentry
<4> a properly working gentoo system requires hundreds of manually editied config files
<4> that's 100!
<2> and it was supposed to tell me when someone was portscanning me
<2> ookay
<4> (100 factorial) which is one hell of a big number of permutations
<4> 100*99*98*97.... etc
<4> and only ONE of those options is a working configuration
<4> all the others are screwups
<4> so that's how easy it is to screw up with manually editied configuration files, and how hard it is to get it right
<2> How do I mount my zip drive ?
<4> heh
<4> 100! = 9.3326e+157
<4>
<4> that's one hell of a number
<2> What?
<4> yes, that's 9.3326*10^(157)
<4> if you have 100 manually edited configuration files in gentoo, that's how many possible combinations of files you have
<0> ok so maybe no gentoo for me :p
<4> not unless you plan on learning lots about configuration files
<0> if i had the time i would love to
<0> i would prefer to learn bsd though to be honest
<2> im trying to mount my zip drive and when I mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip I get
<2> mount: /dev/hdd4 is not a valid block device
<2> Which is the 'valid block device' that is my zip drive?
<4> zip drives are scsi devices
<4> the iomega zip driver is stuck in the scsi section of the kernel config
<2> ohh...
<4> Navrax: you got yourself through a stage1 and you didn't look at the kernel config?
<4> i.e. if you didn't even include scsi support in your kernel
<4> you won't be able to access that drive
<2> so wouldn't I just add them and make install
<0> Sh4dowcat: what do you think of Slackware ?
<4> if you compiled them as modules yeah
<2> I believe I did
<4> jahshua: I'll tell you this
<4> if you want to try gentoo, you can
<4> gentoo is the closest you'll get to bsd in the linux world
<4> but.... if you do decide to go for a stage1
<4> expect three weeks of research to understand what you're doing in a stage1 install
<1> jahshua: just give it a go..
<4> because if you don't understand what you are doing
<4> you might as well not install it
<4> or you'll be having terrible configuration problems
<4> like Navrax
<0> znx: im back on it now :)
<0> slack that is
<0> :p
<1> eek!
<4> rm -rf /znx/etc
<0> i totally botched my gentoo the other night ;/
<0> i think i was doing ok until the boot loader conf
<4> that's no surprise
<4> as I told you
<4> 100!
<0> yep
<4> it's a HUGE number
<0> i wasent totally expecting to succeed to be honest
<0> heh
<3> =)
<0> i just wanted to try it and see
