Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
I had tried Gentoo two years ago and now I'm back after some time using a |
4 |
Debian derivate (is still my main system for the time being). |
5 |
|
6 |
I spent quite a time emerging and compiling from a stage 2 and most things |
7 |
seem to work well. There are two little things that don't work just the way |
8 |
I'd like however and I could not figure out how to cure them so far: |
9 |
|
10 |
- I have a Ti4200 Nvidia card. I compiled my kernel with genkernel --configure |
11 |
and (I think) did everything required to have framebuffer support but I can't |
12 |
get a splash screen to work. Well, that's not important so I go for a text |
13 |
boot, no problem, but I'd love to have a good information about |
14 |
framebuffers.... anyone know where I should look? |
15 |
|
16 |
- my main problem was that, while my netwrok would start OK, the default |
17 |
gateway would not be set, I had to do it by hand. The informations I found |
18 |
were about /etc/conf.d/net but this file seems ok: |
19 |
|
20 |
config_eth0=( "192.168.1.31 netmask 255.255.255.0" ) |
21 |
route_eth0=( "default gw 192.168.1.51" ) |
22 |
|
23 |
other sources talked from an /etc/conf.d/route , but that file does not exist |
24 |
and I have no clue as to its syntax. |
25 |
|
26 |
What I did now was to add he following into local.start: |
27 |
|
28 |
route add default gateway <IP> |
29 |
|
30 |
But I think this is not the best way to do. Were should I put that default |
31 |
gateway information so that it works? |
32 |

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a |
37 |
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the |
38 |
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself? |
