When I ran into that before tho, it installed fine but gave 30 days to put in the number. Does winders 7 have something similar? That's the Product Key, being 5x5 characters in size *looking at sticker on bottom of laptop*. Once you entered the key, Windows activates itself online. If that fails (e.g. if you used the key too often or the key is blacklisted, etc), you can reactivate Windows via a phone call to MS. I *think* you get a grace period after that to re-activate your system but it's been a while since I had that happen to me. Incidentally, I have this very situation in a virtual XP right now. Once that grace period is over, it shuts you out completely. When I try to log in it tells me that I need to activate it before I can log in. My choices are to either enter a key into a dialog or to not do so, in which case I get thrown back to the login screen. Neat, huh. Windows 7 gives you some more leeway, in that it lets you log in to your desktop, but IIRC the background is blackened and all you can open is IE to open the MS site or summit like that. There is a command which can rearm the 30 days counter at most twice, as long as it hasn't run out yet. XP used to offer more leeway than you currently get, but there's a nasty version dependency sequence where you need a newer version of something (I forget what) in order to continue Windows Updates, but to install that newer version, you need to satisfy WGA, which I believe is the tool that forces you to activate before accessing a desktop. Which means getting a fully patched system before entering a key is difficult, if not impossible. Where I work, it had been recommended to us that we use the grace period to avoid burning our activation keys when we went to do testing of our software. Having WGA and the enter a key or forget about logging in misfeature land happened only a few weeks later. *sigh* -- :wq

If you talking 100Meg at the internet port... You will not get 1gb there will you?... the 100M is probably plenty good for that. If you are talking wired to lan and moving large files in/out of laptop between laptop and lan (not wan [internet]) hosts, then it might matter, but still unless you are cat 6 across the connection and both ends have 1gb capability you still won't get close to 1gb. I used a 10/100 router at internet port, but put in a 1gb switch for inter lan, and all lan is 1gb. That's what it would take to see a major difference.. and still not at the internet port. (Later I made a serious move from Gary to Atlanta and now have a different setup) If this is all old hat to you (and I fear it is) and you really want a new router, I'd suggest the TP-Link WR1043ND. (wan and lan are all 1gb). Installing openwrt is a well traveled road and plenty of help available on openwrt (gmane) newsgroup if you should want to do that. http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/?categoryid=238model=TL-WR1042ND#spec It cost me $53 and free shipping, because I had it shipped to a nearby walmart for pickup, Even without installing openwrt... the factory software is linux and its a heavy hitter workhorse in either case. But installing openwrt is pretty easy.. you can do it thru the factory interface in the firmware upgrade options. Having the USB2 port might be really nifty to have... I haven't got around to setting that up yet. But I suspect it would really be handy to have a large storage disk on that.

In my experience, Windows 7 is relatively lax at install-time, and will give you 30 days leeway before it demands a key (which may or may not require calling the hotline). I'd say that you've either been hit by; - An incorrect OEM disk that's checking the BIOS for some kind of Manufacturer flag (and not getting what it wants). - A BIOS setting that Win7 doesn't like working with (I think that IDE-compat/AHCI is a good avenue of approach).

Tough nut...
Are you using dracut? I've tried it and it seems as if I have to
manually include the firmware file whenever I rebuild my initramfs.

I have one of these but have never bothered with anything but the stock dd-wrt. It's like the Gentoo of router distros, you can pretty easily roll your own firmware image with whatever kernel options, packages and features you want included. You can install a web-based management console similar to the one DD-WRT has, or you could manage it entirely through SSH if you want to save space for other things. I think DD-WRT is actually based on OpenWrt, or is in the process of becoming so. That is not to say that DD-WRT does not contain original work, as it certainly does, and they are contracted to write firmware for some new devices that might not generically be supported by OpenWrt yet. I also have WZR-HP-G300NH and wifi suffered constant disconnects and poor performance. The latest OpenWrt updates have gotten better from the driver standpoint, and what really helped link quality was dramatically /reducing/ the antenna power. I still get dropped wifi connection on all of my devices every time someone uses the microwave oven... (my old and slow router did not suffer from that problem). If I had the chance to do it over, I'd get WZR-HP-AG300H instead, since it has 5GHz support.

[gentoo-user] Libreoffice and X-Forwarding
I am having problems setting up X-forwarding for libreoffice (gentoo) over ssh to an ipad (iSSH client). X-forwarding is working fine for xterms, fluxbox and simple apps but libreoffice fails even when using the -display localhost:10.0 argument. The $DISPLAY is also correctly set inside the ssh session. Any hints? BillK
