 |
|
Hola,
I've been using kubuntu and many other linux dists for years but then I stopped..
A friend told me that I had to try gentoo. The installation was harsh yet rewarding.
My question is that i am missing a few things such as nslookup/telnet and others
like dig.
Is there something that I missed? Also are there any commands that I must know
about to survive in gentoo?
Thanks for your help! |

dig is part of net-dns/bind-tools, so do | Code: | | # emerge -av net-dns/bind-tools |
Similarly, telnet client/server can be emerged | Code: | | # emerge -av net-misc/netkit-telnetd |
Edit -- fixed typo |

Thanks for your help.
Btw I have many installed items to run in /etc/init.d/
but on a reboot they do not start. Any of them.
Got any ideas? |

| Don't use etc-update. Use something like dispatch-conf, otherwise people tend to srew up their conf files.... |

hmmm.... don't see anything about updating configs. 
the problems is about running services / init-scripts
and ... though dispatch-conf is indeed nice and intended to be more safe than etc-update it still ain't part of the standard gentoo installation
anyway here is some starting point for dispatch-conf
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=184107
(as i think about this one, i recall that dispatch-conf once hosed my updated conf files, something i didn't run into while using etc-update )

On my system dispatch-conf is part of portage (the program), I assume it is the same with yours

whooo..... 
apparently i didn't use it too long (thought it was part of gentoolkit)
is the "config-archive" directory also included nowadays? (-> to use it out of the box)
seems like it's just lacking the option to list all config-changes and to auto-update them after merging relevant files manually.
