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)

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

Just send this: <What is the XXXXX party's policy on Software patents within europe?> to the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, BNP, Greens, English Democrats and the Indepedents. It serves to make them think, and raises the matter as an issue in this election. You can then follow it up with whatever Mark has later -- John Seago Linux User #219566 (http://counter.li.org)
