This script it to old to use. I suggest you check out the embedded Gentoo project. I also wrote a how-to for embedded Gentoo for x86 computers, but this too is old; although it is much newer and still works. Check the links below :

Let's keep on the original subject.

In konqueror, in file management mode, without a background image, and in details mode... every other entry has a light blue background stripe through it. I looks to be there because you can more eaisly tell the difference between entires. How do I get rid of it?

The problem with rev-rebuild is that it's has never worked for me without me have to fix many many issues and baby sitting it. I don't have that kind of time.

And you don't know when you have to run rev-rebuild until you update and things start failing. Portage tells you need to rev-rebuild but ...

Looks like several people are seeing problems with libexpat. Do NOT upgrade expat to 2.0.1; it breaks lots of packages. I suggest waiting until it's fixed.

What is the easiest way to get KDE 4 beta installed (hopefully via portage)?

Using kde-experimental and emerging kdebase-statkde gives me this error:

The font rendering is much better. I was quite annoyed by the fact that Windows XP looks better on my new LCD screen than Linux does, but now Linux's fonts are as good or better than Windows XP. This is a must have for anyone that is using a LCD with lower than 96 native DPI (most are ...

Warning; rant following.

2007.0 is fing useless!!!! Nothing works! I've wasted hours on this crap. If you want to install using a GUI use VLOS or Sabayon. At least they work.

The GUI installer is definitely a step back. Taking action during the install process is a mistake, all user options should be done and then at the end the install takes action. Also fails everytime I tried to use it.

I think the team needs to consider not using there custom installer, and should ...

Sorry, that post is so old that I forgot what I was doing. DiskOnChip and flash devices in general have come a long way. Booting form them under Linux is no longer a major problem.

Thanks for the update. But...

I got it installed under Windows (after much frustration), and evaluated it for a while. It's looks to complex and would require far to much time to implement and maintain than I was looking for. The documentation lacks a lot be desired. I'm now looking at Tiny ERP and ...

Well after updating Gentoo, samba does not work. smb.conf was not touched, Windows machines can see share but not access them. Anyone else seen this?

Below is smb.conf, which has been working fine for months.

For 2.22 I don't get the option for specifying tomcat locations. Specifically the following :

Log folder: /var/log/tomcat-5.5


I get the following error :

iarwain, found you tried installing 2.22 yet? The java GUI installer does not give me option of changing the tomcat folder, and the install fails.

iarwain, have you used Openbravo much?

I'm wanting to install a ERP system at my new job (10 employees). I'm new to this job and they/we currently have nothing. I've used a couple of ERP systems before. What I'm finding is that Openbravo looks to be the move visible open source ERP system I'm ...
