Here’s a ‘minor’ update foible to watch out for on Gentoo when moving from a compiled kernel-3.3.8-gentoo to kernel-3.4.9-gentoo and running Shorewall… There’s a few new kernel config options and at least some of them must . . . → Read More: kernel-3.3.8-gentoo to kernel-3.4.9-gentoo Note: This is all command line stuff – no GUIs here for this one! Useage I’ve used this trick for updating/reinstalling over an existing system on remote machines and for machines that don’t have any removable media. An alternative trick for such situations could be to use “PXE” booting (such as DRBL), but for that . . . → Read More: Boot a (Gentoo) LiveCD ISO image from a HDD partition |
