I guess I'll have to have a closer look at the pam & nis docs...;) - lately I am experiencing great difficulties in doing an install from the 1.0_rc5-r4 build iso image... It worked perfectly well on July 27th where I did the emerge rsync and the bootstrap. The emerge system followed on July 30th and the machine is up and running... During the last week however I tried to install an identical machine and failed multiple times (and I don't have super bombad racing!). At first even the new August-based bootsrap file failed because gettext-0.10.39 was required but it was not (yet) on ibiblio (this seems fixed today however...). I then bootstrapped from the last July-based file which worked but emerge system stopped with some error message (can't quite remember what it was right now something with shutils I think). Having done this two times I tried to Install from 'portage-20010730.tar.bz2' which I had lying around from some earlier experiments. This compiled to the end but left me in a system missing vital components like grub, start-stop-demon etc.... The emerge on grub worked but it kept searching for /boot/grub/stage1 and returned a "file not found" even after I put the file there.(?) But after the reboot I only ended up in a maintenance console due to the lacking sysVinit tools... Today I again tried the classical approach which found an abrupt halt again in the bootstrapping process. gettex was found OK this time but ./configure complained about an unknown machine type "i685-pc-linux-gnu" -> there is a typo in the new make.conf in the PIII/Athlon section... but emerge system then stops complaining about missing makeinfo somewhere along the way... Am I doing something completely wrong or is portage in a state which does not allow a complete build-install right now. Could my USE flags be the culprit (I remove everything sound-related (no card), gnome pcmcia-cs and only include perl, python, tcltk svga and tex from the stable USE flags. And I use the PIII flags for CHOST/CFLAGS... - autofs: in the startup script in the generation of the pidfile-name the sed-command 's/\//./' should be changed to 's/\//./g' otherwise mountpoints like /something/with/more/than/one/slash is causing problems since just autofs.something.pid is created but the script then looks for autofs.sometihng/with/more.... and fails to start. - xinetd: in the standard configuration xinetd just puts three lines to the syslog complaining about unknown "time-stream" and "time-dgram" and no more services - exiting, just to be restarted by supervise and the cycle starts again. Maybe xinetd shouldn't be started automatically since this currently just fills the syslog. - mozilla: the ebuild builds fine and I can start mozilla from a Konsole in KDE and get some mozilla-messages (no direct error message) but then ... nothing. I can just stop the process with ctrl-c and switch to konqueror/operea/netscape... That were the most important things I noticed in these past 10 days. I am sorry if this is the wrong place to put this and if I'm rather vague on some of the details but I am currently at home and don't have all the details handy. Personally I won't be around for the next 20 days and won't get any answers until then. But then I'm sure to try again since I think gentoo is quite promising! regards Tibor Rudas
