Hi ... I've just spent ages compiling my laptop. I'm really happy with
the result ... So fast ...
What I want to is create a directory called /backup and then create a
tarball using the command
# tar -zcvf /backup/mylaptop.tar /[all directories] except /backup (as I
don't want to go in circles).

Hi,
I need to migrate my Gnome Evolution mail to a new PC I've just got. I
tried copying everything from the .evolution folder into the new
machine .evolution folder but the results are very eratic with only some
of my mail recovering. Plus none of the addresses come across at all. Am
I missing so

Hi - can anyone tell from the attached why
media-video/avifile-0.7.41.20041001-r1 failed? I'm a bit stuck at the
moment. I'm trying to emerge kino and this is one of the required
packages. I'm not good enough to diagnose the problem so any help would
be great.

Hi - I just upgraded my kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r10 to
kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.14-gentoo-r2. So far I have no sound (Alsa) or

packages? And if I do will this remove the functionality from the old
kernel. I can boot the

Hi – Can anyone tell me how to create /dev/ieee1394/dv/host0/PAL/out so I
can write back to DV tape on my video camera with Kino? I assume it’s some
form of mknod command but I don’t really understand the syntax. It's not
currently listed in my /dev.

Hi all - I was running emerge --update --deep --newuse world over the
weekend when I had a power outage and my computer crashed. For some reason
ever since then I cannot login. If I enter Root at the login prompt the
computer thinks about it and then just returns to the login prompt.
