Fair enough...reiserfs it is.

[insertfunkhere]

to clarify - is there some other documentation available besides what's available at http://jackass.homelinux.org/? The Jackass 2005.0 handbook there doesn't contain any specific instructions, and the "Stage 1 NPTL Installation on a Stage 3 Tarball Using GCC 3.4.4" doesn't make reference to using the Jackass install CD itself. Is there some other doc that I've missed?

that's what i was referring to (the installation manual at jackass.homelinux.org/docs/jackass-2005.0.pdf). It's a 9-page document that has a picture of a penguin, a brief summary of the project, and an appendix listing contributors, but no documentation regarding the actual installation.

You have found everything that there is to find online.

Jackass! 2005.0 and its documentation are being deprecated in favor of Jackass! 2005.1 which will be available as soon as I obtain support from the mirrors.

JACKASS! 2005.1 RELEASE

Jackass! 2005.1 appears to be finished. All that's necessary is the final feedback from the testers on the P4 tarball.

I have been running into trouble getting the mirroring system up to date. For some reason simple tasks that I had expected to have coordinated with the mirrors for a 9-1-05 release just seem to be taking forever, and the result is that I haven't been able to pass the tarballs off to the mirrors for release.

For this reason, I'm going to start offering Jackass! 2005.1 on CD while we wait for the mirrors to get up and running. A minimum donation of $10 to $20 is recommended and ALL PROFITS on the CD donations will go to the Red Cross Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund.

Visit http://jackass.homelinux.org for details.

That 2005.1 Jackass seems interesting and FAST!

I'm new to Gentoo and Jackass, and I would really like to try it on my old celeron 400MHz machine (with Intel 82810 integrated chipset btw, i heard it was a pain in the ass, but no pci or agp slots available......) instead of another distrib i was about to install.

I have read a bit those forums and understand fully your position about copyrighting a hard work (and still distributing it in GPL, thanks) and not willing to put full docs or ISOs for pentium2 as no one uses them (it shouldn't be too difficult to upgrade from 2005.0 version).

But unfortunately i cannot make a mirror (1Mbps crappy spanish adsl shared by 5 persons), and even if i would be willing to contribute at least some time as project sounds interesting, i feel a bit weird about directly having to make time-bandwith-money-hardware contributions to a project i may or may not like without even trying it first.

Isn't there any way to have a full 2005.0 jackass install documentation available for those in my situation without being "forced" to support? Or at least you could maybe make like Microsoft a 30days trial without registration stuff, just to try before contributing -- please i don't want to have to pass through the 1/3 thing to see if it's worth it for my machine --

Thanks a lot!

Nevermind, I just read it was tarballed as a gentoo stage 3 and therefore this manual should do for installation.

Damn I should stop reading forums in diagonal when i'm exited about a HOT piece of software. I'll try installing it right away and see if I can contribute in any way.

Insofar as Jackass 2005.1 has been released, I'm discontinuing support for Jackass! 2005.0. I will no longer monitor this thread and I recommend that Jackass! users post to the 2005.1 support thread instead.
