I'll confirm this. I have a Guillemot Cougar TNT2 (PCI) and I get only 4 MB as well instead of 32. On a slightly off-topic side note, do the NVidia drivers from their site work with PCI versions of TNT cards?

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/RPM/BUILD/perl-5.6.0/x2p'
Now you must run a make.
If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object

new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

Unless it has changed, VB and JScript both are weak in string manipulation compared to Perl (at least, they were lacking decent regular expressions and such last time I played with either). Large amounts of substr's (which is what most vbscript string-manipulation code I've seen is) can be replaced with 1 simple regex. Regardless, I doubt you're going to get them to change anytime soon, with all of the work that has been put into the installer and utilities thus far. > As far as I know, all scripts for Active Server Pages are written > in VBScript. Unless they're written in PerlScript. :) http://www.activestate.com/ .ASP files are language-agnostic, they use Windows Scripting Host, which comes with JScript and VBScript by default. Regardless, I'm veering way off topic. On an on-topic note, I did a network install of cooker yesterday and all went fine, my SCSI driver problems were fixed. Unfortunately, XFree86 went a little funky and screwed up my hardware cursor and such (Voodoo3500, 1600x1200), I see that those packages have been updated since I did my install.

That may be, but it will probably be quite a while before javascript on unix has support for as much system stuff as perl does. Perl has built-in hooks for accessing system-level stuff through C, I'm not sure if that's available with javascript yet, and until then, things like the disk resizing code in the installer couldn't be replaced. -- Ben Reed ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://defiance.dyndns.org/ Fight the InterNIC! http://www.opennic.unrated.net/

Nope, same thing happens, although I don't have any USB storage devices, just my iPAQ, so I don't know if that would have made a difference. It's croaking on interactive.pm, line 109, which is in ask_from_list; it appears to just be a generic dialog-box generating subroutine, and I'm not sure what $l is (not a very descriptive variable name ) Unfortunately, it's hard to really trace back to what was calling it. I've tried following it and I suspect it's dying from load_module, but I'm not positive. Just to get an idea, when I tell it I have another SCSI device, should the next thing that comes up be a list of devices from the pci_probing/pcitable.pm module?
