Has anyone any advice on getting audacity working on Gentoo? Every time I start it I get error messages about the sound i/o system and host not found. Googling around the problem appears to be that my set up uses Alsa and Audacity uses OSS. Audacity looks for /dev/dsp but it does not exist. I c

Rubbish!! - The whole point is Firefox is extendable. Get the "Mozilla archive format" extension from tools-> extensions->get more and you can save whole websites in a single file as well as in the same format as used by IE. So my Firefox IS intelligent enough because I used one of the huge arr

You need to make sure you have compiled in the correct sata module in your kernel. That is going to depend on what chipset your Dell PC uses for sata. Either compile it in as a module and load it at boot time or compile it direct into your kernel. My motherboard has a via-sata chip, I compiled i
