i just managed to emerge icewm control centre but when i run the program it keeps saying cant find configuration file and a file called "keys"and is looking in /home/gentoox/ I tried copying the 2 directories icewm & icecc, one of them containing the file "keys", to the /home...

well i found the cause and i dont know whether it a bug in gentoox or not but if you just type "emerge icewm-tools" a program called "python" is also emerged and this program contains 3 parts. 1) python 2) pygtk 3) PyQt I tried to emerge each part one at a time to see which was t...

well after 6+ hours the xbox was still rattling away at the hard drive which I dont believe is wrong so I had to stop it.
Does anyone know whats wrong and why the "emerge icewm-tools" doesnt work or is there a way i can install the tools manually?

Well i got fed up after a few hours and stopped it to try it again from scratch and see if it was any different but it went through screen after screen of info about things it had done and then got to the same point as b4 and just started rattling away at the hard drive. From what the last lines of ...

the last page on the screen reads. g++ -c -pipe -w -O2 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -DSIP_MAKE_MODULE_DLL -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -I/usr/qt/3/mkspecs/linux-g++ -I. -I. -I/usr/include/python2.2 -I/usr/qt/3/include -o qthuge0.o qthuge0.cpp The build of the PyQt source code for your system is now compl...

I typed "emerge icewm-tools" and the process began as normal but its been at it for over an hour now is this normal or has it got stuck in a loop.

sorry to appear dumb this is all a steep learning curve to me. but are you talking about something i do in windows or gentoox?

I have 2 xboxes, both running gentoox and networked to my pc and cable modem via a dhcp router. The problem i have is windows cannot access the file systems on both xboxes. I believe its because they both have the same name (samba xbox) although i can access them from evox dashboard and ftp using ea...

this is what the readme file that comes with gentoox says concerning the video selection part of the install. 1.1 - Necessary Configuration (HIGHLY IMPORTANT) DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS SECTION!!!! The first thing you'll notice when booting Gentoox Home v2 is a long pause whilst your IP is displayed. This...

Thanks but thats not the ones i'm after if you want to see the difference here is the homepage of the tools you mention http://icecc.sourceforge.net/#icebgset and here are the ones i want http://icesoundmanager.sourceforge.net/ I could take the easy way out and just use emerge to get the ones you me...

what screen resolution did you set? best use 640x480 first and did you set the right video standard for you tv ie. PAL or NTSC?

I have seen this app called "IceWM conrol panel" for icewm and it looks very handy.

look here http://icesoundmanager.sourceforge.net/index.php

Can someone tell me which version i need to download and how i install it.

ok i got it thanks everyone. Its actually very easy. I just expected to have to download everything with the PC or Xbox, I didnt realise that its all automatic. Hey what an improvement I now have a xbox pc that acts like its 733mhz not a pentium 75mhz. KDE is good looking but damn it really slows th...

i cant get putty to connect for some reason. I have entered the ip address of the xbox which is 192.168.0.1 and clicked SSH but putty keeps saying "network error: connection refused". I dont understand cos i can view the entire contects of the xbox hard drive through "my network place...

read your tutorial but where do i get the following that you say are needed or are they already present in the gentoox distro?

Cygwin/XFree86 SSH Client (Any SSH Clients Will Do)
IceWM Window Manager

I downloaded the latest vesion of TightVNC
