I guess you can get PuTTY for your ssh and sftp needs and then use a third party app to make it transparent. I don't see a reason to use a dos emulator on xp.

I'd use *BSD if I had no access to Gentoo

You can also create an .xinitrc file in your home directory as explained in fluxbox docs

Hmm... it does seem like a very minor update. I'll give this a try once I get the time though, yay!

When it come to IDEs the best ones I've used are KDevelop (for KDE/Qt) and Anjuta (Gnome/GTK)

o Fix ALi15x3 DMA on sparc64 (maybe others)

Ohhhhh!! Maybe it'll work for me too! (x86)

Speaking of gAIM, is there a way to get rid off buttons on IM window like "block", "warm" and such?

Oh, I like it. I'll give this a try once get home!

Nice job!

It looks great! Not that I'll try it but still.

Have you tried /etc/modules.autoload?

It's always nice to do emerge -p --depclean before doing the actual --depclean. In most cases it will mess up your system in one way or another and it's said so in the man pages, IIRC.

You'll definitely need to recompile your kernel (since your new mobo may have new chipset controllers and such). I wouldn't try and reinstall everything unless something goes horribly horribly wrong.

Make backups!

Have you read Mounting MS Windows partitions FAQ? It covers it pretty extensively.

If karamba is masked (I'm not on Gentoo right now so I can't check) you have to add ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" (I'm guessing that's what was trying to say ;)) before emerging. It's a bad idea to put it in make.conf because it will tell portage that merging masked (= possibly unstable) is okay.

Try ...

I think it would be nice to have a config app that does the basics. Of course, you can say that flux is not a DE. However, I don't know anyone who doesn't want to have nice wallpaper. Why include a nice way of setting it via the flux menu.

I don't have a problem with setting it manually, I just ...

If you copied your kernel to /boot then in your grub it should be

I'm pretty sure you can press "Pause" on your keyboard during boot to see what you actually have. You should also be able to see them in your BIOS.

I'm pretty sure there are other ways but I'm braindead right now.

I have -kde -gnome set in my USE flags and everything works just fine (w/ fluxbox)

Of course, if something doesn't work you can check with emerge -pv and then turn those flags on just for that application.

Yes, you can.
Also you can exclude individual applications you do not want

ie.
KDE Program Documentation has the list of applicatioins in each package with descriptions.

Yes
Also this way you can avoid merging kdegames and other stuff you may not need!

Did you chmod it?

ie.

There are quite a few threads covering the problem. Have you read any of them?

For example,

After each kernel recompile you should re-emerge alsa-driver.

ie. as stated in the ALSA installation guide. Did you do that?

I think that menu transparency is only available in the developer version 0.9.4
I'm couldn't be bothered to find out how to install it though. If someone can tell us, it would be nice
