[gentoo-user] Emerge break
Hi, while finishing an emerge process of KDE, the system shutdown. Problem!! The process has been made on a PIII. Slow System, Two days working. If I emerge again KDE, what would happens? Emerge will continue on the point i t has break? or it will begin again from the beginning? If it begins again could there be any problem whit the files it have generated the first emerge process? What is the best way to correct that? Thanks in advance, Pere -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge break
Thanks, The sysem has been rebooted. I get an error after emerge --resume "Emerge: It seems we have nothing to resume..."

Re: [gentoo-user] Emerge break
Thanks, Two questions: A.- I could repet emerge with no problem, my questions are: 1. Is there any way to resume the process and win time? 2. If not. Would be any problem with the files that the first partial emerge would have left on the file system? B.- I'm new on Gentoo, well, really I'm new on linux. 1.- emerge -avt, shows me which ebuilds will install, isn't it? Is it possible to select some of them but not the others? 2.- the sufixes of each ebuild which give me emerge -avt, are the required/optional/suggested USE switches?

Adding the USE flag on make.conf? or as an optional parameter on emerge? If I leave make.conf with no one USE flag, then each package will install with its default flags, isn't it?

I think, no? Pere -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] About runlevel's
I see, in Gentoo, we work for runlevel groups and not the individual runlevels 0,1,2,3,4,5 and 6. They are resumed as boot, single, nonetwork and default. Fine. But how to get a runlevel as runlevel 3 on other distributions, with the same services and daemons as runevelel 5 or default but without graphical environment? Can I create my own runlevel under directory /etc/runlevels? Thanks in advance, -- Pere ( -- Aesux -- ) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] About runlevel's
Yes, of course, this is the unique differences between runlevel 3 and 5, but I think it should be enough, isn't it? I think have or not have the X working was a big difference about resource using, isn't it? Why not maintain this difference with a run level? Thanks, On 5/7/05, A.

[gentoo-user] euse error
Hi, I'm getting an error using euse.

Re: [gentoo-user] About runlevel's
What about this way: I've seen it on http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_create_a_run_level # mkdir /etc/runlevels/noxdm # rc-update add x noxdm(add all services from the default runlevel except xdm) Modify /etc/inittab id:3:initdefault: id:3:initnoxdm: l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc noxdm Whit this, I have runlevel 5 as default and runlevel 3 as the new one without xdm Could this be a good idea?
