Description Rajiv Aaron Manglani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-08-15 13:06:35 UTC
if you follow the ppc install guide at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/gentoo-ppc-install.html and use a stage3 tarball,
you'll wind up with two system loggers installed. this is because the stage3
tarball comes with sysklogd already isntalled.

i propose that this note be added to the docs in section 13, right after code
listing 21:

Important: If you used the stage3 tarball you do not need to install a system
logger. The stage3 tarball includes sysklogd. If you would like to use metalog
instead, you will need to remove sysklogd. After installation is complete,
prevent sysklogd from running at startup by running 'rc-update del sysklogd
default'. Then 'emerge unmerge sysklogd' to remove it. You will probably also
have to manually delete the sysklogd configuration files in /etc (look for
'cfgpro' in the file list while unmerging).

To install metalog, run 'emerge metalog', then 'rc-update add metalog default'.
