Damn, I've just seen the ext3 news!

Is that just for the home version ShALLax? or pro as well?

Space can't be a problem with the pro version!? can it?

I'll look into moving everything to Ext3. This will, unfortunately, obsolete all current versions of Gentoox. You are gentleman and a scholar :wink: thx. Just read on the main page you have added ext3 support! Thankyou~! edit: Do I need to download a new version of pro? its still 1.1 in the downloa...

Meh. That would mean I'd have to change a hell of a lot of scripts, including sparkle... Now you know as well as I do, you wouldn't need Sparkle anymore with ext3 :lol: :wink: Perhaps the changes could be preparing for xfs and others, so they would be easy to incorporate later on .. It really is a ...

Oh I missed that .. I won't ask why ..

Hopefully you read the rest of my post

Would be really nice to have a choice of ext3 or reiser on the native install

Well what a good idea sparkle is, ready for the inevitable reiser bork.

Ran sparkle today, but iit told me:

Found 0 filesystems.

Agreed, Oh, yes! TOTALLY differant

I can totally recommend gentoo! It is more involved distro though. Shallax has done a hell of a lot of work with the home edition of gentoox. Perhaps have a try with gentoox pro, as it is more like gentoo, with some xbox tweaks. gentoo.org has a great community, THE most helpful out there, IMHO. So ...

Nice site XBoxgeek

I'm really not sure about your window manager, because I've never used it. idesk will give you some antialiased svg icons and will work on most window managers. http://idesk.timmfin.net/ OR You could try the rox file manager, very 'light' & has a 'panel' to allow desktop icons ... http://rox.sou...

Xbox complains there is no initrd!?

damn so close, but no joy! yet
