  1. take a look at www.pctorque.com model 4880
  2. here is a review of the benq fp937s from another forum I surf. http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/show...9&page=1&pp=100 I found it for $367.79 USD at http://www.pagecomputers.com/cgi-bin/page/M1440484.html
  3. The new gentoo Universal Live cd. ftp://gentoo.risq.qc.ca/releases/x86/2004...l-2004.3-r1.iso The new Package cd. ftp://gentoo.risq.qc.ca/releases/x86/2004...6-2004.3-r1.iso The gentoo Handbook. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2004.3/index.xml With these you can be up and running in 3 hours with a GUI if you have a 2.5GHz machine. The package cd contains precompiled programs. Installing KDE takes 30 minutes.
  4. New computer for cheap. I figured out one for $360 with $90 in rebates from one place. Total after rebates $270. $20 after rebates Case, PSU, Mobo http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicat...RCCODE=WEM711CR $54 CPU AMD XP 2200+ http://www.portatech.com/catalog/viewitem.asp?ID=7345 $9 CPU Fan http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProdu...-103-422&depa=0 $70 512MB ram http://store.yahoo.net/s168/prgr51ddr33p.html $60 80GB hard drive http://www.upgrade-solution.com/det...PID=305&add=yes $55 Graphics card http://www.imagestore.us/product.as...D128&dept_id=44 Yes, I know it has onboard video. This would be a low quality gaiming system that would still be able to play some new games. Anyone find better prices to make this a full sysem without monitor.
  5. I know it has to do with the file /etc/fstab in most distrobutions of linux. Gentoo has to be edited by hand. It does very little configuring on its own. Sound-mind from EOCF You have to add a few options in the /etc/fstab to get this working properly. You could also pass the options to mount by using the -o flag but editing fstab makes more sense for a permanent solution. You probably need to add a gid or uid flag to tell it which group the drive should be mounted as and also specify a umask. The umask can be slightly confusing at first. It's the file permissions you want the directory to have, only inverted. So if you want full rwx permissions for yourself and your group (assuming you set gid/uid correctly) and everyone else to only have rx you would have a umask of 002. The umask is kinda of strange when you first use it but you'll get used to it. Come up with your permissions such as 755 and then subtract that from 777. So the umask that will result in mode 755 is 022. Remember: read=4, write=2, execute=1 for usergroupeveryone. Here is my fat32 partition's fstab entry at work: Code: /dev/hdb1 /MSEData vfat gid=100,umask=002 1 0
  6. I am running gentoo linux. I have 2 hard drives on my system. Master is 60GB for gentoo and slave is 80GB for WinXP PRO. I have dual booting working wonderfully with the grub bootloader. My problem is when I mount my windows drive in linux I can't accesss it with a normal user. I have to be root. I mount the drive with the following command. as root "mount /dev/hdb1 /windows". I have changed the permissions on the directory of /windows to my user, but when I mount the drive it becomes root permission only again. Is their any easy solution to this problem? -Zac
  7. I like helping everyone out. I found more good hard drive deals on the other forum I surf. Hard drive deals
  8. I have been a member of 2 computer forums since 2002. I started folding for the other Forum because of the excellent stats pages. LINK I am willing to fold for this forum also. I will add a machine in the next week. What is the team number? That might be the reason not so may people fold for you. At the other forum it is listed all over the site. This statement was not ment to be mean. Just trying to offer some suggestions.
  9. start up script Idea based in the gentoo instructions for the regular ethernet card rc-update add net.auth0 default
  10. you might want to run the dhcpcd eth0 command from root it will look for an address server. The instructions at www.gentoo.org are straight forward.
  11. i did not make the wood computers. i just know where to find links to what you post about.
