It's a great LiveCD

One thing I'd might like to see in it is an additional SMP kernel and especially the 3Ware 9500 driver as a module, since there is no livecd for the 9500 driver (it's only in the 2.6.x-mm kernel) and with that one enabled there would be finally a way to install gentoo with the 3Ware 9500 controller without the hassle of using a different install as a base or doing your own liveCD.

Regards,
Haldir

mail me the exact steps on how to get the driver enabled in the kernel on redeeman[blabla @]gmail.com
then i will do it.. with SMP, i am not sure, i tried, it oopsed, however, it is a mm kernel, so the driver would work

ok, i solved the issue with X. i just needed the cutting edge nvidia kernel modules and glx from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55714 .

however, i'm still a bit worried about this Reiser4 anomoly -- it appears a log is destroyed if it is in use during a system failure requireing a manual reset.

anyone have luck linking /usr/portage and /var/tmp/portage to a reiser4 partition?

in anycase apparently it allows you to use 4k stacks and regparm without fear. i've got it running on a gcc3.4 system right now, but with 8k stacks and no regparm.

an idea for the next reiser4 live cd would be to add ebuild to it. you could make a script that downloads the most current nvida-kernel and glx, and ati equivilents, and the current redeeman, xx, love, and evil sources ebuilds.

Hmmmm. Can't get to kaspersandberg redeeman-sources for hours to get redeeman7. Same error as before.

"Timeout on server
Connection was to kaspersandberg.com at port 80"

Maybe you should take the offer of another server, as this one often seems too busy, or having other problems?

As a last resort to get an mm5/reiser4 kernel, I then went to namesys auto/snapshots, and the latest version is only for mm4, so I'm wondering how redeeman7 can be for mm5? Has it been withdrawn for some reason?

Thanx for the Reiser4 LiveCD, Redeeman. Quick question: I want to verify that what I d/led was correct, so is there any chance we can get a MD5 hash or GPG signature? Thanx, dude.

lefteye: if you don't need supermount, you can try stardust-sources -> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=192934&highlight=
supermount is old anyway, you heard of ivman? it's much better for accomplishing automounting

search the forum for instructions, there's an ivman thread somewhere..

Yeah I'm about to just stay on kernel 2.6.5 until this thing fixes itself. I used the redeeman patch AND the ck0patch before. They worked pretty good and I've been using them since. DUno whatsup nowtho.

redeeman - ftp would be nice. It's easier for me to ftp to my fav gentoo mirror than remembering the exact address for wget.
