<0> hrmm, firestarter isn't too bad
<0> kinda nice actually
<1> anyone watching internet streaming videos?
<1> im trying to find an app that can play them
<2> i think vlc does
<3> vlc was designed for that
<4> i use mplayerplug-in in firefox, and open stuff with vlc when mplayerplug-in doesn't recognize it
<3> mplayerplug-in makes my firefox crash whenever it tries to load media
<5> speaking of firefox crashing, i finally found/remembered how to fix it (with composite causing it) its the xarg no gl visuals or something like that option ! HOORAY ! i can view fancy sites and flash again
<6> Look over there!
<7> hello
<7> I'm noticing some strange problems: various places on my desktop and applications, the text disappears. when I highlight it, or force the UI to so some sort of text refresh, it comes back, and then disappears again.. I don't know what's going on
<7> currently recompiling all my font packages
<8> i just downloaded gentoo live cd, how can i make it to a bootable disk?? please help
<9> it should have downloaded as an iso
<9> burn it to a cd
<8> you mean i MUST donwloaded it as an .iso???
<10> yes
<10> do you have linux knowledge?
<8> im only starting
<6> We'll have no trouble here
<10> I strongly suggest that you try a binary distro first like mandrake or ubuntu
<8> i just want to try gentoo. i already have ubuntu :)
<10> ok
<10> get the iso, burn it as disk image, then you can boot it
<8> the lgentoo i downloaded is in a rar file.. should i extract it or just burn it to an image file??
<10> rar?????????
<8> yes
<10> where did you got that?
<8> gentoo.com
<9> doesnt matter.. you need an ISO file
<8> hmm
<10> since when does they use rar?
<10> and it's gentoo.org
<8> sorii its gentoo.org rahter
<8> rather*
<8> it has the icon of a rar file
<10> extract the rar..
<8> i extracted it, cant find the .iso file
<10> you didn't got the right thing
<10> http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml
<8> huh? there is only one link to downlaod the live cd
<10> get the x86
<8> thats the one i have
<10> and it's a .iso that I get
<10> WAIT
<10> check the extention
<10> I think winrar now support iso
<8> while i downloading it i saw a .iso it says "downloading live cd installer-2006.0 .iso
<10> then burn as image with nero or alike
<10> nero and the alike will throw you an error if it's not an iso anyway
<8> so i dont need to extract it anymore??
<10> nope
<8> thanks a lot
<8> il try it
<8> :)
<10> also
<10> get the install manual!
<10> and expect lots of hours
<8> thats ok with me.. patience. :)
<10> gentoo is a source distro, meaning everything have to be compiled
<10> my system take 26 hours to recompile on my athlon 2800+
<8> almost a day
<10> the base system is quicker... open office by itself is 6 hours
<8> what is a base system?
<10> the base of the system
<10> basically a console system that only boot
<8> so you mean it is much easier?
<10> the base is the hardest thing
<10> all the main problematic package is there
<10> glibc, gcc, kernel and all...
<10> and also most of the learning is in the base
<8> if that is the hardest why are you sugegsting me to use mandrake or ubuntu??
<7> hello
<10> mandrake or ubuntu is a way easier distro
<7> some just like the pain
<10> it's not a pain once you are used to it
<10> in fact, when you are you have trouble to go back to binary distro
<7> depends on what you use it for
<8> hmmm,
<10> for a production server gentoo ain't the best choice for most of them
<7> I'm trying to figure out a modular Xorg and gcc4.1.1 problem
<7> the text just likes to disappear on me
<10> for a slow computer gentoo ain'T good too...
<10> Durentu: maybe lower your cflags
<7> gentoo, is more for the developer/hobbyist
<7> -O2
<10> no weird cflags?
<7> nope
<7> I have a feeling that there's something to do with a different ABI
<5> hehehe... from the documentation of a network filesystem (***umedly trying to educate people as to what it is (rare) and how good it is...)
<5> All local global conflicts are repaired with repair . Type repair and follow its cryptic instructions.
