Sure, downloading it now. Sorry for not getting back sooner about the LiveCD. It was one of the things I wanted to do. > Notes: > > 1) This is again a remote build, I have not tested the CD at all and don't > even know if it will boot on my computer > > 2) In your earlier mail, you mentioned jmicron.

The only thing I had to change was to get the 10pre0 release of cdparanoia since it uses SG_IO. Without it, I needed to have write accesses to the SCSI generic device. I believe this was the necessary fix between versions: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/cdparanoia/cdparanoia-III-alpha9.8.sgio.patch?view=markup Also, DVD writing is kind of buggy through dvd+rw-tools-7.0. I didn't check earlier versions. But if I specify a slightly slower speed it seems to work more often. My gut feeling is that it's a bug in pata_jmicron since I have the same writer in the old machine and it works fine at full speed. Haven't investigated, though. > 3) If your computer has at least 1 GB of RAM, please test if "linux toram" > or "linux pata toram" works - this will load the whole CD into RAM.

I know there are xv bugs using the new intel driver. I've been using i810 still and everything seems fine. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
