garretwp: Try unplugging all of your usb devices except for 1 xpad, this will generally let me get past that screen. Once linux has fully loaded, just plug your keyboard / mouse / whatever in then.

No, this is an essential part of the boot sequence, use a different bios or set your clock properly.

If you're going to include thunderbird, can we have an English, English dictionary (UK) I got mine from here
http://www.pyxidium.co.uk/dictionary/mozilla.html
and maybe a few european languages thrown in for good measure
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?

Firebird leaves a smaller memory footprint than konq. Speed is essential!

Shallax.. is BitchX out of the question for install since most home users will opt for xchat?? --Bikr
p.s. i only ask because the ebuild sucks , and to get it working manually requires a soft link to libncurses.so.5 named libncurses.so.4

and wine boots default at startup
why dont you mount /mnt/billgateswiener/ while you are at it
and maybe a shareholder or two for good measure
I know hows about shallax impliments a "man themscetextbooks" so you can brush up in time for that promotion
sheeeesh
(i apologise in advance for all the flaming i am about to recieve, but quite frankly i think that the day that windows is opensource so we the linux community can fix it the better)
you really don't know what you're talking about do you? so i'm in bill gates' pocket right? well i guess he's sponsoring the whole mono project now, too! get a life

Shallax,
I've not tried it on the Xbox yet, but what about prelinking. It did a major speed improvement on my slow a$$ pc.
