Hi group,
Do these things work very well? What's a good one? Is
it gentoo-friendly.
I'll be using it with a Viewsonic 17" LCD with a
digital connector and a ATI Radeon 256M vid card.
I saw one work back in 2000 and thought the picture
quality quite poor. Have they improved much since
then?

Hello group,
I recently sync'ed portage, but when I did #emerge

Hi everybody,
For those who haven't noticed yet the 2006.0 LiveCD
doesn't seem to work on K6's etc. A look at the docs
confirms this: "not all architectures supported".
Guess that 686 in the filename should have warned me
away. Sheesh! 75 hrs downloading for nothing!
Trying the min-install...

Hello everybody,
Can someone give me a tip(s) on how to proceed with
this minimal install?
I note on the CD big files such as image.squasfs and
gentoo.igz but the little on-line about them is not
very helpful.
I think I can start ppp and prepare the harddrive but
beyond that darkness looms :^(

Hi all,
on a new install w/2.6.15 kernel on an i586(K6-2) box

Hi,
Oops, lost the thread "turning off dhcp" end.
Thanks to Neil. Both boxen can ping each other.
Now to clear up a few loose ends:
Why on the fresh(2.6.15) install does net.eth0 start
automatically and the older(2.6.12) have to be started
manually? Is this a bug or a feature?
I note the abund

Hi,
Thanks for the encouragement.
Now I've hit another roadblock on the path to gentoo

googled it to no avail.
I just emerged ati-drivers for a Radeon 9250 vid-card

Hi,
Somebody here suggested I join forums.gentoo.
This I have done. About 16 hrs ago. Should it take
this long(and waiting) to receive the confirmation
