That's more or less how I do it too, without the fresh install. I track cooker daily until release...then wait out the first 2 or 3 weeks after cooker re-opening and keep going on the daily tracking until the glibc/gcc/whatever changes start, then I stop till I don't get any "need to uninstall this to continue" and go back to daily tracking.

I've done that when admining the local LUG box with 3 other people, that way we could track down and shoot whoever mungled the box ;) It works well, for the most part, once you get used to it. >> Uhm...I've heard you can run EverCrack on WineX and play well, with >> a few details (some sounds or some crap like that...I don't play >> EverCrack :) google is your friend :) > > If I'm going to sit down and play EQ, i want it to work 100%... =) > I've Bah, you addicts are all the same :P > tried WineX, and while it's ok, doesn't really play to well on my > workstation with it's odd dual-head setup (2MB PCI video card and a > 16MB AGP).

Unfortunately, Loki lived and died during my financial crisis, so I never managed to get any of their games :/ I hope somebody comes up with a working business doing linux games soon, tho, so I can get rid of winex :) Vox -- Think of the Linux community as a niche economy isolated by its beliefs.
