Yes, as long as it's not NuBus, but even that can be worked around. Check out http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ppc.xml?full=1 and #gentoo-ppc on Freenode. Adrian Chelar wrote: Gentoo linux work on powerpc? -- Andrew Gaffney

Has anyone else run into this? Can you cleanly log out of Gnome and return to the gdm login screen? ssh'ing in doesn't show anything obvious. 2.6.12-r2/P4/ATI 9200 Mobility Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is there any way to *not* receive mail from specific cron jobs, while leaving the rest of the mails intact? I looked at man cron and man crontab, but they seemed to indicate that it's kind of an all-or-nothing deal. It's not an all-or-nothing deal, depending on how you create the cron job:

PartitionMagic is the best for this, but at $70 it is a bit pricey. There may be free programs to do this, but I have no experience with them. QTparted: open-source alternative to PQMagic, _and_ it's significantly faster (e.g. resizing a 40GB NTFS partition to 10GB with PQMagic took me an hour

This appears to be a known issue. Although my crash is a bit different than others I get the same trace info in dmesg. Caused by ati-drivers under 2.6.12. Don't do it I guess. Cheers, Mark On 7/2/05, Mark Knecht [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Has anyone else run into this? Can you cleanly log out of
