Whats a good one out for linux? I really hate AWT/Swing, and I'd rather use an app to setup the gui...

a .bin is sometimes an ISO, is that maybe the solution?

EDIT: and the sun SDK is in emerge, its sun-j2se i believe

I'm also a gentoo/arch user, and I think I've realized part of the problem. Arch sort of uses gentoo as its role model. Pacman is a slightly different version of portage (this being the main "feature" of the distro).
A lot of people draw comparisons between arch and gentoo, I guess arch users don't ...

my tar was pretty screwed up, so i did an emerge -C tar, forgetting that it d/ls .tars to install the packages, so on a emerge tar now, i get an error that it cant find tar to unzip the package...

whats the best way to get tar reinstalled now?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not...

root@thebeast windows # emerge -uUDp world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

you dont need to type the .class at the end, you just type EDIT: oh, FYI, you don't need to import any packages for that simple program

I'm not sure what the problem is, i modified the sections in Default.ini to the current resolution X is running in...

alright, I just went ahead and merged the unstable version, hopefully that will work fine...

help, i can't update anything else, emerge shits a brick over this puppy every time

it has worked perfectly for me when I have used it. i'm a noob, so i guess it fulfilled its purpose

bump

nothing at all?

I get this:


bash-2.05b# emerge -u system

not to rain on your parade, but yeah you can do it in windows, I think alcohol120 supports command line burning (either that or cloneCD i believe)

but that is pretty pimp, so is that DVD script - is that bash programming or wha?

if your doing it for school I'd recommend sticking with the sun version, assuming thats what your using

bump

anyone please?
anything else I can post to help?

Upon trying a emerge -uD world I get the error:
!!! ERROR: There appears to be FILE SYSTEM CORRUPTION. A file that is listed

I can't decide if I like the pancakes or sundae one better...

but I have to say the coke one is pretty good for a basic analogy.

you can always send them to that lindows switch to linux site

So if you use the USE 'demo' or 'nocd' its just the demo? I have the CDs laying around somewhere, I didn't feel like digging them up...

How do I install/run the game? I found the script dealy in /usr/games/bin, but if I type 'freecnc' at the terminal it tells me command not found.

Thanks

for example ill do:

tar -xj file1.tar.bz2

or tar -_ _ _ file1.tar.bz2

any combonation of the letters and i get nothing, the cursor sits on a blank line under the last cmmd entered. simple as that

I cannot get tar to work with any files at all. No matter what options I pass it, it just sits there until i kill it. Is there an error log or anything for it? Any ideas? Thanks...

The very first package it tries to update (sys-apps/kbd-1.08-r5) emerge fails and I get: I'm kind of a noob...so...??

thx in advance

1) what should I use to get desktop icons in fluxbox? And is there a way so theyll only show up on a certain desktop? (or can i have seperate icon sets for each desktop??)

2) how do i get fluxbg to compile? i know its masked, but when i try and emerge it I get dependancy errors. Do I need to emerge ...

er...meant to start a new thread, sry

Just adding more:

Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb AGP

All I did was emerge ati-drivers, than set driver in X to radeon and comment out DRI
