Well, I can't do remote login, but I suppose I could mount the gentoo partition from the Redhat part and remove whatever after chroot'ing, but I wouldn't like to lose sound support (although I don't use it that much). But now that you mention it, I installed redhat8 on the new disk and had some trouble with sound configuration (strange vibrating noise from the subwoofer); it was solved atfer rebooting, with soundconfig. I have a Ensoniq sound card. Could it it be that a solved problem with sound configuring in RH let a permanent sequel in gentoo? The box has a 300w power source and two disks (40G+80G), a DVD drive, a RWCD drive, a floppy drive and a 250M iomega zip drive; no scsi devices. But all this stuff was idle except the disks ... Maybe I should remerge some sound related ports...? Thanks, -- Jorge Almeida -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
