Re: [gentoo-amd64] What do I do at livecd root #-
I recommend you: 1. Reading the entire 2005.0 Handbook for amd64 2. Proceed with installation Inverting these steps can leave you blocked at some point. cheers Jordi On 6/7/05, Simon Stelling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Langsley T Russell wrote: > > I have the latest installation manual in front of me but following that > > prompt it starts with "Extra Hardware Configuration" then page after > > page of "optional" stuff.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] Video server for mac clients
Hi list, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that he wants to mount the remote server as local to mount/edit the videos stored on it. In that case, even using the fastest protocol (IMO, choosing btween AT, SMB or NFS, it's NFS) the delay on performance will be "noticeable", just say it on this way, it won't be the same than doing a RAID0 on the macs and editing the files from there. But, if you mean that you'll use the amd64 as a fileserver, or just to store the originals and the produced masters, i recommend you using NFS. Hope it helps a little bit :) Jordi On 9/19/05, me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well, from experience working w/ Mac's for the last 10 years, Appletalk sucks. > You won't really get performance out of it, though it's handy, effective, and > simple. > You could mount via FTP, the finder has a built in client program of sorts, > and you can make aliases that way as well.

Re: [gentoo-amd64] Cedega running programs on fat32 partition
Hi Brett, Normally, as said by transgaming support and in the FAQs for cedega, you can have issues running games from a non ext/reiserfs partition. I can tell you from my experience that most of the games fails to run in cedega when running them from a fat32/ntfs volume. What I do now is run only in windows (so have only installed in fat32/ntfs) the games that can only run in windows (luckily i have only one: Lineage2) and leave the rest installed through cedega. Is easier for me and I know I only need windows for one thing.

It boots fine for me. Forget about using the nvraid, is not hardware, so if you need it, go sw raid or buy a decent RAID card. cheers -- Jordi Molina Casas (warp3r) mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: www.warp3r.com If you're still sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], please update your address book, my current email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
