Just curiuos from a clean GentooX Pro 1.5 install when you do revdep-rebuild the blackdown-jre-1.4.1 has some linking problems so it attempts to reinstall it.. But this is no longer in portage. also you already have 1.4.2 installed so there is really no need for this package.. Unless something requi...

if your not used to it then install it for windows and use it on windows. ;o) it also will allow you to use msn, icq, yahoo and you can get ride of all those.. I personally use gaim for linux but trillian on windows..

Ok thanks for the info.. i guess will look forward to it when ever it gets added and stable into portage.

what version of that included it?

Ok thanks for the info. I understand the risks but i am not too worried as my cd-rom is still working. And i have had to recover a few times as my reiserfs on the xbox totally crap out on me before.. had to do long time with ssh and dd to copy a partial image over to beable to extra the data i neede...

echo alias\ magic="yes \\"no\\" \| magic" >> /root/.bash_profile I haven't tested that you may need less \ around the no wow i its been a while since i really heavly used linux.. forgot about bash profile.. (pretty much setup server and left it alone till now really starting to ...

thanks for the responses.
But isn't it if you use package.provided it will still try to upgrade to latest version of alsa if there is as currently there is 1.0.7 sitting in portage. From what i understand useing the provided it just wouldn't reinstall 1.0.4 or deal anything with that.

I have been reading the Portage manual and i thought it was a good idea to create a /etc/portage/package.mask file for the Xbox which would prevent portage from updating certain software that needs special patchs to work with the xbox ala alsa, xfree, kernel If i could get the software and versions ...

First thank you shallex i can now start trying to make my full customized native install. (Hope you don't mind me asking a few questions about it) First was going to ask will the boot loader read the .cfg file from /boot for the Native section of the boot loader? I am just wondering these for future...

yea but i was wanting to be lazy and not have to type that every time.. but either way i can live.. Nothing too big.. thanks for listening anyways.

I was just asking because i have had bad experiances with reiserfs messing up my harddrives before. (Was running Slackware 9.0 on desktop) And also i wasn't asking to make ext3 the whole thing just an option.. Plus i wouldn't expect you to support two different kernel versions as if this is wanted t...

I understand that you are keeping reiserfs for the rootfs images because of how better reiserfs is at lowering dist usage with small files. But would it be possible to give users a choice of ext3 or reiserfs if they are doing a native installer? I have actually hacked a gentooxinstaller file and cop...

I was thinking about this and creating this so that you don't have to answre if you want to install kde, xfree, mplayer etc. every time that you run magic. so what when you actually wanted it changed you could edit a file and then run magic..

So the only thing specific about the gentoo loader is that it looks for the stuff on the E drive? or will Cromwell also look for this?

Yea i re-read the other threads 4.7 is only need for 1.6b models. Sorry about that.
