[GLLUG] Gentoo 2006.0

[Caleb Cushing]

no they haven't released an upgrade guide for the 2006.0 profile the one for
the 2005.x works though. I've already changed. I converted my laptop to
native 64... all but the x86 is still on command line. I had 3 spot's where
I got IO error's extracting tarballs from the disk. I suppose it could be
the disk... but one caused a kernel panic. I got it installed though. seems
to be running fine. I don't have X yet I should soon. Seems they are putting
the binarys on the disk we maybe should have waited to start building our
penguicon server. They are going to have a KDE version too from what I read.
also hint for USE flags check out packages on this page
http://www.gentoo-portage.com/
here's what it says about flags for firefox
http://www.gentoo-portage.com/www-client/mozilla-firefox/USE
of course mozilla suite isn't the same as firefox but you can search mozilla
too...

anyways I bet our problem with the disks are related to QA borking a another
series of releases... I could be wrong mine could have been marring on the
disk... those tarballs are sensitive. still the disk having a kernel panic
over anything... oh and gcc-3.4.4 is on the disks now. for all those who
haven't upgraded and 3.4.5 became stable yesterdayish on x86.

speaking of the box. Are we going to run firefox & thunderbird 1.5? or stick
to stable? I could ask pratt (the maintainer for gentoo) when he thinks he
will be moving it to stable.
