Well, I have been working on my server/MythTv/Cedega project. I have learned a ton about RAID in Linux, though have still not done the work to enable LVM. I am still trying to figure out which partitions should be on my RAID0 partition and which are safe to move to the RAID5 system. I never have rerally understood which partition contains what and how important each is. I do know that the /boot partition should be on the raid 0, but beyond that I am lost.
I wrestled with a new PCIExpress Geforce card for a while till NVidia pointed me to a MB bios update that solved that whole issue. Now I am just wrestling with Cedega. Install seemed to go fine, but know I can't install any games as it claims the executables are invalid on my disks. *sigh* This is the first install of KDE 3 and I am very impressed, though I do not know why it has its own sound system that you have to interface with ALSA. MythTV hd3000 cards arrived yesterday, though I am going to wait till I resolve my cedega issues before trying to install MythTV. I still need to install postfix/apache2/iptables to be able to retire my current box and place this in its stead. Again I want to wrap up other issues first. All this experimenting to get things to work causes me to reinstall gentoo over and over. I probably could avouid all the reinstall isuues if I figured out how to back my system up,. I haven't read the howtos yet but I assume I could probably just tar-bzip up / and copy that to my backup drive. Will that work? I will gladly take you up on your enemy-territory offer. Would be nice ot exercise this gaming rig. I have been waiting to play HL2 on it, but I am pretty positive a native Linux game will run great. Reminds me that I need to try installing Neverwinter Nights on it as well. ----- Start Original Message ----- From: Sebastian Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: [RLUG] List is quite... > The list is quite... too quite.
