Re: [gentoo-user] Kde version
You would be amazed at how frustrated gentoo users make devs. Plus going from distribution to distribution not everything works 100% the same exact way.

I upgrade my gentoo every day, and when I try to upgrade the kde, the portage always display the last version of kde as 3.4.1. But newer versions of kde has been launched (3.4.3). What´s the reason of this late version still remains in the portage list ?? 3.4.1 is the latest version marked as stable. See portage documentation about using ~arch marked packages. 3.4.3 will be marked stable soon. Watch http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112842 for progress. I think the OP's point is that although the latest kde that is marked stable' by gentoo is 3.4.1, the kde group in fact have released (and therefore consider stable) version 3.4.3. And the reason for that is that it takes some time for the gentoo build system for kde to be considered stable. In other words after kde.org (or any other software writer) releases a new version, it takes some time for the gentoo devs to make sure it is working ok before they release it on the masses of gentoo users who rely on the devs to keep their systems stable. And a bloody good thing too!

[gentoo-user] highpoint raid
I have a athlon xp 3000 processor and a DFI LanParty KT400A Socket A Motherboard, 1 gig of ddr ram. I think i am having kernel config problems with it. I am using the highpoint raid. when i installed linux i had to use the 2004.3 disk with the smp kernel. I'm not really sure what the differences between the kernels are. i know i couldnt get the 2005 live disk to work i couldnt get it to work it always seems to blow after highpoint drivers come online. but they seem to work ok. there isnt any obvious error messages. im not trying to get the raid to raid i just want to be able to see and use the drives. I know it works with the 2004.3 smp kernel the booting stops in exactly the same place when i try to boot the 2005.0 disk as when i try to boot my own system. I know i can get lilo to boot it I couldnt get grub to load the kernel, it hangs early not sure but lilo works fine. if cedega or wine could play eq2 it would bother me more.

Re: [gentoo-user] low-level formatting a harddrive
um a low level format is always the entire drive. It basically returns the drive to factory default. AKA all 0's. A high level format would be what your talking about which would be the same as reformatting a partition. as fdisk would do.

Unfortunately it doesn't give you the option of sparing one partition or the other -- it does the whole thing. I strongly suspect the problem lies on the first half of the drive where XP-pro used to reside.
