somewhere to put the tarball. The obvious answer is to put it on your

Microsoft makes online updating of XP sooo
easybut there is no simple mechanism to store the updates for later
re-installations...or to tell the automatic updater to look/store them
in a particular directory.
hmmm... I wonder what this is, then?
The 'problem' is, that 2.6 favours 'nice' processes and penalises CPU-hungry
or 'not nice' processes. This is why you should not renice X with 2.6.
There were also rather significant changes to the schedulers in 2.6 -
I believe that's more likely to be the cause of this effect.

While I am at it, anyone know what the problem with the grip help menu is
on gentoo?
There's nothing wrong with grip or its help menu. Do you happen to
have gnome-extra/yelp installed? I'm fairly certain the problem here
is that you're missing the Gnome help browser...

Ah, so it was supposed to have pulled it in...
...not necessarily: when I run emerge -pvtDe grip, I don't see yelp
in the output... but I'm not entirely sure why. Might be because of my

I'm also curious if you've got gnome-base/gnome or
