No, it wants both of them. I do have lynx but that's probably for

I have a feeling I'm missing something very obvious here, but I'm still
at a loss:
I have my laptop's ethernet set to use DHCP. Obviously, on the road this
will fail. But then the "net" service that postfix (and a bunch of other
stuff like sshd) depends on is not there. Of course I could edit the
I just set up a local rsync mirror using app-admin/gentoo-rsync-mirror.
Now I'm just wondering if it's necessary to do it like suggested and put
a separate portage tree under /opt? I mean, apart from syncing to the
official Gentoo mirrors it's read-only anyway, so pointing my rsync
daemon to /usr/p
To reactivate this old 486 laptop that's been sitting in my basement, I
set out to install it with a tiny Gentoo system and use it as a DSL
router. The HD is 1.3 GB, so a full glibc-based system wouldn't be much
of a problem, but I wanted to experiment with embedded stuff anyway,

That's because fdisk tries to interpret the data it finds as a partition

What's more, ARP resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses and the IP
address is what the OP wanted to find out in the first place.
