Hey everyone! This is not really an important issue, I just wanted to find out if anyone had it on his or her radar. I have a machine that isn't too powerful and hasn't got a lot of RAM either. So as an experiment I wanted to compile the world with the option for conserving space.

Hi there people! I guess I really screwed up the rights within my source-tree (and maybe share too). It all started pretty innocent. :-) I wanted to encrypt /usr and /var, which are both mounted on dedicated partions on this machine. There was still one unused partition, which I will call (and

Good morning, everyone! There seems to have been some changes made concerning the supported Promise controllers. I have a SATA TX2Plus (PDC20775 chip). This is a sort of hybrid for SATA and PATA - it can run two drives of both. Until today I got this running with a sort of hack I found here:
