Another place to look is library and header differences in the code.
Also, have you compared different --march= (and other gcc options) values?

Console weirdness...

Hi,

I am currently building up a new LFS root fs. I got a weird problem.				 
The kernel boots with "vga=ext" option.											 
																				 
The first console is fully working.												 
																				 
Any other console _works_ the same according input. But there is a					 
black area at the bottom of any other console/screen. I cannot "see				 
what is going on behind it"...														 
																				 
stty -a reports identical values for the first and any other						 
console. The same kernel (the same binary!) bootet with my old root fs				 
does not show such problems. I didn't find any hint according this					 
problem neither in lfs nor in blfs.												 
																				 
Desperation graps my heart.....sigh ;)												 
																				 
Where do I have to tweak what to fix this problem ?								 
																				 
Thank you very much for any help in advance !										 
																				 
keep hacking!																		 
Meino

I also had one thought on this very interesting question: How about the 
sector size on your HDD vs the DVD which gentoo is on? Will that not 
make some difference?

Ignore if I am wrong...

Re: howto produce small and fast binaries?

I may be duplicating stuff that was already said, I can't seem to
find the earlier parts of this thread.

Remember to strip your binaries.

A smaller and cleaner libc can help. dietlibc is worth looking at,
very tiny, but large and complex apps likely won't link against it
unmodified.

uClibc does a great job while working fine for nearly any app.

-Os is sound. Wladimir Mutel sent me refs suggesting

        CFLAGS='-Os -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections'
        LDFLAGS='-s -Wl,--gc-sections'

I've not yet made time to analyze the results of that rebuild.

html is spam.

Re: Intrusion detection system

Hi Jaqui,

Tks for your advice.

> plain text email only.

Sorry for that.   

I'm running Firefox and already selected
General Preference --> Composing emails --> Mode --> Compose messages
as plain text (already checked).  I don't know how it happened.

Any suggestion?

TIA

Don't take a man's poorly formed signature as a message to you.

Portable OGG/Vorbis player

Hello!

I'd like to have a portable Vorbis player which uses a flash memory and
has a USB connection. An USB stick would be preferred.

The difficulty is that I'd like to buy (/get for Christmas  ) a
device which does *not* play MP3, WMA and all the other ugly formats,
but only Vorbis (and perhaps FLAC, SPEEX or some other free ones).

I've been searching for ages for something like that, but haven't found
anything useful. All devices I can find (which can play Vorbis) can play
Vorbis *and* MP3 and WMA. :-/

Does anyone know something that could be interesting for me?

What do you have against the MP3 format? Yeah, I know, proprietary,
royalties... but I mean, do you hate it so much that you don't want
your player to support it?

I don't think there would be anyone who'd be crazy enough to get some
player to market that doesn't play at least MP3. Most people don't
know of any other formats and they don't care either.

I do hope that we'll we able to, at some point, use only open formats,
but right now I can't think of anything that doesn't support the
closed formats.
