I assume I need not have to issue the "sync" command before hand, like I used to years ago with Old-Style O.G. Solaris. You assume correctly :) Oh by the way, I have always found the old 'three-finger-salute', namely <ctrl><alt><del> to work wonders if you're too lazy to type reboot ;) If...

not sure why its in the USE flags for the pro version by default? It's not that it's in there by default, it's that if not specified portage will, by default, include it (or so it would seem by the XFree example). Not to nitpick, just clarifying... ;) That's what I meant by 'not sure if it's a bug'...

Also I hope you are going to start support for 3d graphics drivers soon If you mean Shallax, I'm guessing you're in for a long wait ;) He doesn't make the xbox-kernel patches, and as far as I know noone has accelerated nvidia.o's for the xbox... wouldn't hold my breath for them either :( Nvidia wil...

You need to adjust your USE flags in /etc/make.conf. If you don't want QT support add -qt to your USE flag line. USE="-qt" I noticed this problem as well, it[portage] seems to default to +qt if not specified. Try ufed ( u se f lag ed itor) if you are uncomfortable manually editing your con...

I understand what you're saying now, didn't before ;) Basically I've got default.xbe and linuxconfig on C: Begging your pardon if you've already answered this, but have you signed your default.xbe against the font-hack? Maybe the reason that I can't find anyone who has booted gentoox directly from t...

I think the problem now has to do with my linuxboot.cfg settings. I used the one that comes with Gentoox and didn't edit it at all - the font hack worked fine. I should add I booted it from Evox. can send me a copy of their linuxboot.cfg? Well, I will if you want, but as i said the default one will...

What about adding a #6 - Because I enjoy Gentoo Linux.

oh and also how do you extract tar.gz archives? Well, firstly tar --help would be my first step, or man tar will show you the manual for tar (sorry to RTFM you ;) ). It can also handle the gzip compression (and bzip2 if it was a tar.bz2), so I use it. I would simply tar -zxvpf whatever.tar.gz -The ...

Not sure I need gentoox.xbe. You need it to boot Gentoox. You need to sign the gentooxx.xbe with xbedump against the font-hack, if you want to boot it with the font-hacked Evox. Well, I had to at any rate ;) Then it'll just boot from the evox menu, after you make an entry. I know there is a way to ...

in the faq it says u should type cd mnt/fatx/f If it really says mnt/whatever instead of /mnt/whatever then you must first cd to / . It's trying to find mnt/ relative to your current directory, which I'm guessing isn't / . Use an absolute path (starts from / ) and you will avoid this problem in the...

If you're searching for general Linux tutorials your first stop has to be the Linux Documentation Project , for obvious reasons. At the least check out what they have, it's quite a repository. If you want other Gentoo or Linux related docs that don't deal specifically with Xbox, you're probably not ...

Dont forget the default! (at least, i think you need it! hehe) Umm, you actually don't need it, unless of course you had *whatever in more than one runlevel and only wanted to remove one of them. That excellent rc-update will dig through /etc/runlevels and remove *whatever script from all runlevels...

Shallax I like the new forum, very professional. I'm glad to see by the number of smilies that you used that you didn't take me for a whiner ;) I think Gentoox is the bee's knees, you do Gentoo-proper justice with your efforts and results. The default kernel is a modular hell because I know if I neg...

Are you running home or pro? If home, I would suggest dropping KDE in favor of a more resource-friendly 'Window Manager', instead of a full 'Desktop Environment'. Depending on your level of Gentoo or Gnu/Linux knowledge I would also suggest switching to pro to minimize the number of running processe...
