Hello all,
I'd like to use a "live" cd and be able to save my stuff to it without
requiring a separate medium. What I'd like to happen is partition a
cd-rw so that the first part is from the iso that I'd download from
somewhere, and the second part would be a writable filesystem (udf?)

I don't think the first NIC is dead---it DID respond to arping, so I

For a while I've been wanting to play games like doom and quake thru an

You can configure your kernel to use power management - either APM or

Okay, I used genromfs (i think) according to the example in your man page.

It does. I use the rivafb driver on this computer, and it doesn't
support kernel arguments at stat-up, so 'vga=whatever' doesn't work with
this driver. Instead, you need to edit the fbdev.c file in

There could be a better way of doing this, but what seems to work is
just stopping the nfs-kernel-server service, moving all files in
/var/lib/nfs/ to a different directory, touching rmtab and restarting
nfs-kernel-server. exportfs -a and restart the autofs service on the client.
