[gentoo-user] How to read an audio cd image

Hi there, I used cdrdao to create an audio cd image, namely image.iso, and the corresponding toc file, image.iso.toc. I know since audio cd has no filesystem on it, we cannot mount it as usual. So I want to ask if there is anyway to play this audio cd image. If you guys know any reference I can r

Re: [gentoo-user] vixie cron

Hi, Thank you very much. But how I can use @reboot? It might be good if I just run fetchmail once after rebooting. -- Wish you well! Teng Wang -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] I applied mkswap on root partition

e the metadata, I don't think I can use this partition anymore. It also does not format the disk or even write anything. Really strange. Since if I want to use one partition/file as swap, I must run this command. But actually, it writes nothing. (Maybe this is the reason it gives no warning) ---

Re: [gentoo-user] I applied mkswap on root partition

I think it is not hard to do a backup right now. But the problem is I use separate partition for /home /usr /usr/portage/distfiles /var /tmp. So, how can I exclude these directory when I use cp -av? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] I applied mkswap on root partition

I still wonder that after mkswap the root partition, I even do swapon. But this time, it says it is invalid argument. So I think the data on that disk will not be lost, since it did not serve as the swap partition. So is it still screwed? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

[gentoo-user] I applied mkswap on root partition

Hi there, Today, I applied mkswap on root partition by accident ( I thought that was swap, but it is root). And since this is the only system on my laptop, I even don't dare to reboot my computer after that. Does it really matter? Or what should I do to recover? Thank you all! --- Teng -- [EMA

[gentoo-user] vixie cron

[gentoo-user] Re: Daylight savings time

I suggest you install ntpd, which will sync time with ntp server. And I dont think set CLOCK="UTC" is a good idea. If you are using WINXP, it will change your clock to local always. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
