I used the Web mail available on the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat Party sites, and the contacts I found on the other party sites were: enquiries(a)englishdemocrats.org.uk freedom(a)bnp.org.uk astern(a)ukip.org office(a)greenparty.org.uk It may be useful to find the email addresses of the individual candidates -- John Seago Linux User #219566 (http://counter.li.org)

I have received an answer on the above subject from an assistant to Andrew Duff MEP, (which I did try forwarding to the list, but it awaits moderation). Which seems to entirely have missed the point as the reply was a Microsoft Attachment! -- John Seago Linux User #219566 (http://counter.li.org)

Initially we need to make them think, and give an honest answer. Later we can present the material Mark is preparing. -- John Seago Linux User #219566 (http://counter.li.org)

Gentoo driving me mad
by Charles Garcia-Tobin 24 May '04

Hello all I'm doing a gentoo install on my shuttle cube, and I am gravitating towards utter lunacy! Basically the motherboard has all the nvidia nforce bits. Consequently until I can compile the kernel I can't put in the drivers for my NIC. No problem you download the universal livecd and uncompress stage1 and the the necessary bits should be there. Under usr/portage/distfiles I should have the necessary files to get me up to kernel level .... except there are a few minor things missing, you know little things like gcc or glibc, ... Ok so that's still only a minor problem, I can find out the list of missing files, reboot into windows, download them to a shared partition and off I go. Conviniently the bootstrap script that sets every up has a --fetchonly (-f) option will list all the missing packages. So I do bootstrap -f > /tmp/files oh bother most of the packages are coming out to stderr ok so I rephrase bootstrap -f 2>&1> /tmp/files It's still doing it I can't the list into /tmp/files aarrrrhhhh I'm not a bash expert but I thought the above syntax was ok So in short does anyone know how I can get this list of files before they put the straight jacket on me and I can't even type!! Cheers Charles

I note that there was some interest in discussing my post on the above subject. Was there the same level of interest in undertaking my suggested course of action? -- John Seago
