The emerge -e world finished. It still doesn't work like it did a few
weeks ago. So, I tried the nonetwork option. That starts about every
service except the GUI, my UPS thingy and a couple others. Get this, it
even starts the freaking network. Why is it called nonetwork if it
starts the network too. Seeing the list of services it started, it
didn't miss many.
Put rc_hotplug="!net.*" into /etc/rc.conf.
The system is getting too clever by half; nowadays it starts whatever it
can, and only then does it look to see what you've set via rc-update.
I changed that and will test later on today. I'm trying to get some
work done in my garden while it is dry. Sort of funny in a way. The
Mississippi river is flooding on the other side of the state and I'm dry
here on this side. I actually live less than a mile from a different
river. Weather is so weird sometimes. I don't want to think about the
folks North and South of me. Tornadoes a couple weeks ago. I live in a
valley next to a hill, I'm not complaining tho. It keeps the BAD winds
away. o_O If anyone saw it on the news, I'm about 40 miles or so
South of Smithville MS. It's gone. I saw what was left with my own
eyes. Houses are piles of rubbish. I haven't seen Tuscaloosa yet but
it is about 60 miles East of me. Sounds bad and looks bad on TV. :-(
Back on topic, I'll reboot and test this in a while. I had this setting
before but missed it during the upgrade. Still can't figure out why it
doesn't work from grub like it used to.
Thanks.
