I did get into grub2 recently, myself. It's hard to imagine anything
worse... It's supposed to be just a f* bootloader, not an OS. It
needs a complete OS install just to
It always.

Available Python interpreters:

Hi all, thanks for all your help. I'll try to reply to everything, but
first let me annouce the issue is now resolved and gentoo was not at fault.
The virtual HD is physically on a raid (unknown config). Mark, the sector

The simpliest method is to install app-text/acroread
There is a button at the top to save out the pdf file into
an txt file

Works for me on my Lenovo Edge. Use the new "InputClass" section rather
than "InputDevice" in the config. Make sure to use '"MatchIsTouchpad"
"on"' to match the touchpad.

Way back when I first got an X2 they couldn't keep time for whatever
reason. I used to have to add something like "clock=pmtmr notsc" to the
