If you have backed up the DVD and you have .vob files and such in Video_TS, I think you can use Nero to make a new DVD Video compilation. When you have the new disc layout open, go to the spot where the Video_TS files are located on the hard drive and drag/drop them onto the new DVD Video comp...

That theorem really helped me out in one of my CS classes.

I'm on Gentoo w/ a GeForce 6200. Works fine.

sorry if this is dumb, but is samba installed and configured correctly?

i did a stage 3 pentium 3 on my Centrino in my sig

i've been using tightvnc to handle vnc needs. http://www.tightvnc.com/

The biggest advantage of Gentoo imho is Portage. Portage is great! It's so easy to type emerge <nameOfPackage> in a terminal to install a program. However, Debian does have something similar with apt-get right? Tips on Install 1. 2.6 kernels are 'easier' to use. (Easier in the sense of...

I use Linux for everything except games. Oh and of course.....

pan is the closest i have seen to xnews, but there is probably something better.

I can't say about oc-ability, but the Neo4 Plat works nicely out of the box for me. I normally buy Abit only, so I was skeptical about about buying MSI, but I'm pleased overall. The only bad thing I don't like about the board is that the active cooler on the chipset is LOUD. I think i spins...

usin ext2 for /boot and reiserfs for / Here's some info about the formats from the Gentoo Install Guide: ext2 is the tried and true Linux filesystem but doesn't have metadata journaling, which means that routine ext2 filesystem checks at startup time can be quite time-consuming. There is...

that whole deal with the libraries is the reason why i went gentoo.

sheba - MSI Neo4 Plat w/ WinXP (for games) and Gentoo (for everything else) isabella - IBM T40 w/ WinXP (for school) and Gentoo (for fun :p )

i've got a MSI Neo4 Plat which is nforce4. it's got 4 ports thru the nforce controller and 4 more through a SiI 3114. in my case, the nvidia satas weren't recognized by the livecd, so i had to modprobe them. some research on the gentoo forums suggests passing the noapic option to the...

I was about to write a whole blog story of the install, but now that I think about it, it all comes down to this: There's a lot of little steps to get the ATI drivers working. At least, that's what happened in my experience.

dual boot aint so hard to setup: what type of drive setup you planning on? 1 drive for winxp 1 drive for gentoo? or 1 drive with winxp & linux? edit: partitioning: The gentoo install guide has good infos. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?full=1 that's for...

kate is nice, kwrite too. kate changes the colors of the text if that's what you mean by 'syntax coloring'. ie) in my java program for cs2, the names of methods are different colors, as well as stuff in System.out.println. i just opened the same file in kate and gedit. there is...

thanks for the replies, i was just wondering who was going to try net8 out.

Anyone trying out the new Netscape 8 beta version? Looks neat so far...

Good post. I like KDE for the Control Center and Konqueror. Gnome is good too, but I prefer XFCE4. It's light and fast, but not like *boxes are. This sounds dorky, but I like how in XFCE4 you can make the windows "stick" to each other. I think you can do the same thing in KDE, but I haven't...

I too have used the standalone drivers with no problems so far. I have drives on Satas 1-3. Concerning your question on Satas 5 - X: I have used these ports as extra controllers and they will work. However, when you bootup, the computer will complain that there are no raid drives to boot...

I posted that originally, because I remember seeing it somewhere on the Gentoo Forums, but I couldn't find the link so I edited it out. If someone else saw it, I must not be crazy! :p

I've tried nearly all of the major distros and some of the smaller ones. Here's a short list: RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, Slackware and Gentoo. Gentoo really is the best in my opinion. Sure, it takes a long time to install and if you don't the install handbook you're pretty much out of luck...

You can also add this line: "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" to Section "InputDevice" of xorg.conf So in the end, it will look similar to this: (Obviously the identifier and some of the options will be different for you, but ZAxisMapping gets the wheel working) Section "InputDevice"...

you might try the xorgconfig program by going to /etc/X11 and typing xorgconfig follow the prompts. i imagine you knew this already, but thought i'd write it just in case. maybe by creating new xorg.conf that way, it'll fix the keyboard error.

i manually select the server closest to me for the make.conf file. ie) i'm in florida and the closest server is open-systems.ufl.edu, but ftplib.gatech.cc.edu is way faster.

i think when you fdisk your hard drive and set up the partitions, the computer will know what type of file system to use on the swap partition. ie) the part when you do a "t", "2", "82" in fdisk to say, "Fdisk: I want you to give partition #2 the hex code 82, which will designate that...

i've got a T40 and wireless does work under one program called ndiswrapper. i see you've got a 2200 wireless centrino. i think there is a linux built driver for this card, but i'm not 100% sure. there are other ways to get wireless working, but i just know of ndiswrapper. oh what do you...

take it all as a learning experience- i bet you won't forget the next time. glad to hear that you at least got a distro to work. happy computing.

I looked up the specs on your board: Asus Tusi-M right? It says it's a SiS 630et chipset. Going along with what HHunt said, maybe Linux doesn't like the SiS? That could *possibly* explain the kernel panic, right?

this is a a stab in the dark: if you plan on using this pc as linux only, you might consider formatting the partitions manually. i don't know if this will work, but it may be worth a shot. do you know how to use the ultimate bootcd? you can use xfdisk to manually setup the partitions...

So you want to be able to use your chat programs? There's a program called Gaim that will handle your situation well. This program can handle AIM, MSN, YIM, and a bunch of other ones too. For Photoshop needs, you want this program called the Gimp. This reminds me: If you're still using...

i'm not sure if this is the solution, but maybe the image is corrupt? i think you can use the md5 sum to check the iso.

I meant that I had 103 megs of ram in use by Linux at the time . The other 921 megs were free. Applications I was using: Firefox Gkrellm ( kind of like a system monitor) I would also imagine that the GUI has a role to play in the use of ram. I'm using XFCE4, which is a 'light' (as in...

I'm using 103 megs of my 1 gig of ram as I respond to this post. IMHO, Linux is wonderfully efficient with memory.

i had a problem with restarting on an NF7-S 2.0. my computer would turn on and get into windows just fine. then at random times it would restart.turns out the ram was bad (2000+ errors). maybe you can run memtest?

just wondering, is that drive on an sata or pata connection? if you're using sata, i remember reading something on the gentoo forums that depending on which driver you're using, you'll either get good results, or bad ones. unfortunately, i'm not smart enough in linux to say which driver...

This is a "just wondering" question. I bought a stick of Mushkin Basic Green a few months ago that's PC3200 and 512 in size. It runs at 400 mhz @ cl 2.5. CPUZ does indeed verify that the stick runs at 400 @ cl 2.5 (The sticker on the ram also says it's cl 2.5) I recently bought another...

in the Neo4 manual, it says you can use a 20 pin connector. the connectors are 'keyed' so that you won't screw up and plug it in the wrong way. download the manual from the MSI website and you can see for yourself. however, i've been reading in other forums that it's a bad idea to plug in...

my kernel is gentoo-dev-sources, which i think is 2.6.9-r14 grub version is .93.20030118 about the sata controllers- i read somewhere on the gentoo forum that if i modprobe my nvidia satas, that the system will hang. this indeed happen to me, when i tried it out of curiosity. someone...
