Nvidia will not emege beacuse it says I need to compile mtrr's into the kernel. So, I did that. It didn't work, and so I checked everything in that section and recompiled again. Still no go. What am I missing?
you should see MTRR messages when you boot. are you?
-
what is eth0?
is it your public network interface then it should
net eth0 detect
or if it is your private net work use
lan eth0 detect
do you have more than one network card ????
are you trying to masquarade (sp?) a network?
can you give us some more details about your setup?
-
the 3 biggies that take ages to compile are .. kde, open office, mozilla
kde took me about 10 hours IIRC, on my dual p3 with 1gig ram
open office :-( start OO before bed ... coz its not fun watching it ... and it takes hours

at some point, i'm actually going to get around to writing up a little Kernel Setup HOWTO so that it's easier for people who are knew to kernel compilation to know which options to turn on and off in the kernel.
yeah right ... you've been saying this for how long now? :mystilol:

hey BooYah .. .try using Esetroot to set your background image ... qiv doesn't support transparency (which is what you want from idesk by the sounds of it) bsetbg doesn't do transpancy very well.

:wub:he he :-) ...
I need a spare machine so I can rebuild my FW, and Webserver witrh Gentoo ... I love it !!!
although had a bad exp this week :-(
vmware (with winXP) crashed ... and put bad stuff on my Filesystem ... and reiserfs could not full recover. however this is gentoo we are talking about, and it wasn't too hard to fix
1. boot from livecd
2. mount / and /home (/ had the bad fs and mount /home to /home2)
3. mkdir /mnt/gentoo/home2/root-backup
4. cp -ax / /mnt/gentoo/home2/root-backup (copied everything except the bad files)
5. remake the / fs (mkreiserfs /dev/hda5)
6. cp -a /mnt/gentoo/home2/root-backup /mnt/gentoo
7 reboot

1. Thanks BVC ... you actually need to restart gniome before any of the new themes show up :roll: which sound pretty windowsy to me
2. Thanks beesea, that works perfectly !!!!
3. firstly this for bvc
secondly, same as above, you need to restart gnome before any changes take affect :roll: -
after seeing dolson screenshot of his Gnome Desktop, I thought I might give it a shot for a while. (dolson screeshot is here http://icculus.org/~dolson/images/mydesktop.png )
I've got a couple of questions tho'
1. I can't seem to install theme (icon themes, or window border themes) am I d/loading the wrong thing or what ? can somebody give me a quick HOW-TO please?
2. Is there a way to *map* keys to execute commands? example: I like having ALT-x to execute a terminal, and ALT-s to execute Sylpheed.
3. How do I edit the Gnome menu? (add and replace items etc)

if you wanted to mount windows boxes like SoulSe suggests then check this out
LinNeighborhood make life pretty easy when browsing windows shares
-
this sits on every windows computer I have ever touched
just so I can easily get files off the windows machine and onto linux
edit: you need to have ssh server running on your linux machine

has anybody ever played with advance pim?
found here http://www.blueprophecy.com/bryan/
I can't get it to compile (on mandrake or gentoo) ... which is a real bummer coz it looks like what I want
a PIM with data stored in a DB
-
read thru this thread it will explain how to extract the game
see here http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php...p?p=38138#38138
-
I second that advice from SoulSe :wink:
-
I bet it is msec
msec (Mandrake Security) changes the permission of things etc, and runs every 24 hours !!!!
-
I can't belive it's that simple, who knew? Thanks. Less typing.
I guess it just a matter of pointing dns to the same ip. Thanks.
yup .. .that simple, just point the dns records to your ip :wink:

don't use virtual hosting.
just setup your webserver with your website ... and it will be the default website on your server. Then it doesn't matter what domain name you point at your server, it will always load the default website.
if you want different websites for each domain name, then you will need to use virtual hosting.

you need cloop ... get it from here
http://www.knopper.net/download/knoppix/
% wget http://www.knopper.net/download/knoppix/cloop_0.66-1.tar.gz % tar xzf cloop_0.66-1.tar.gz % cd cloop-0.66 % vi Makefile // Insert APPSONLY=1 at the top section % make zcode % make extract_compressed_fs % cd ..
then
/path/to/extract_compressed_fs /path/to/livecd.cloop > /path/to/huge.iso
this will make a huge iso image (about 1.4gig)
then you can mount the iso
mount -o loop /path/to/huge.iso /mnt/tmp
cp -R /mnt/tmp/opt/armyopts170 /opt
now you're done !!!

I know .. it says run server.bat ... ?@#!? geez !
damn I suck at it though .... back UT to remind myself I can shoot something !!! :-P
