True, and I did get a bit of a stepthrough in an irc channel on Freenode, just to see if I couldn't somehow cajole the damn thing into running.
I tried everything.
In the end, I had to go back one release. No big deal. I just wanted a REAL Linux kernel, as opposed to a Hed Rat one. Now if only I could get gcc to compile without running out of memory...anyone got a fake./configure or makefile I could shove in the libjava directory?:) Or perhaps, some way to use/tmp for swap, in addition to my partition? (Note: I don't have a large swap partition.)
I'm a n00b, so anything that goes wrong is likely to be pilot error. Still, why would something work fine in.20? Anyway, the selection for my IDE hardware was indeed there, and it was checked. Oh well..20 works, so I'm staying with it. Besides, it's masochism for me to build anything big on my box because I only have 64MB RAM. (For example, I can't seem to get gcc 3.2.3 to compile because it runs down the memory and either causes a thrash or gets killed.)

I'm migrating from incandescent lights to small fluorescent light bulbs that screw into the same fixtures.
A 3.5W bulb will light a closet. A 5W bulb will light a small room. A 15W bulb will light a living room. A 25W bulb will light a kitchen.
Compare to 4-7W for a typical nightlight, 15W to light a typical closet 40W to light a small room, 60-75W to light a larger room, 75-100W to light one's kitchen, and that's about 20-80% power savings over incandescent lights. I've been doing this for almost 10 years now.
Seriously though I think it's only a good thing that this box uses one of the most hardcore of all Linux distros in its core (hmm, maybe SourceMage GNU/Linux is more aimed at the hardcore Linuxer, and let's not forget Gentoo), and now, finally, the back end is being ported to Linux. An all-Linux solution is only a good thing!
I'm plotting out a game that's a cross between a sim and an MMORPG, just because I think it's possible.
My taste in games is relatively diverse: it includes 1:1 fighters (SSF2 Turbo, Mortal Kombat, Samurai Shodown), run and jump platformers (Super Mario Bros. games, up through Super Mario World), side-scrolling beat-em-ups (Sailor Moon R), RPGs (Dragon Warrior, Destiny of an Emperor, Pokemon Crystal), text games (Zork), FPSes (Wolfenstein 3-D, Doom) and a number of others, like Ka-Blooey aka Bombuzal.
Do I look the hardcore gamer? I look more the hardcore fag than the hardcore gamer (and I'm straight as a board!), so you wouldn't guess me by stereotypes.
You have spoken correctly. I think if anyone plays some violent 1:1 fighter or FPS, and goes on a rampage, there's something seriously wrong with that person mentally. I play 1:1 fighters regularly (including the user-extensible fighter MUGEN) and some of the ones I play are quite graphic. A person doesn't play a game and set out to emulate the game by going on a violent rampage, unless that person is mentally ill.
She's Chinese, right? (And her name in Kanji does read "Chun Li" in Chinese.) But how come when she wins she says "Yatta", which is a purely Japanese word (i.e., not of Chinese origin)? O_o Also, when she says that "Spinning Bird Kick" or whatever, that's with a Japanese accent, not a Chinese accent. (And I think in Super and later she even does Hadoken?!) WTF. Only thing Chinese about her is her name, might as well call her "Shun Rei".
The perfect GUI would be one that had the n00b-simplicity of Finder (MacOS 7), the taskbar of Windows minus the word "Start" (perhaps, instead, the name of the GUI; cf. KDE), and the ability to run a full Bourne shell in a window (Win9x, using MinGW's ash or Cygwin's bash; *x, using an xterm; even NeXT's os could do this, and so can AtheOS, AFAIK) and a lot of the typical utilities. And I like to run a program by hitting Win-R and typing the name of the program.
And...keep the eye candy to a minimum by default, Please! My bloody eyes!
As it is, it looks like SCOrdure's in on a "pump-'n'-dump" operation. Surprise, surprise. Golden parachute time. >:[= Look at who's selling SCOrdure stock from inside...
High school, junior year, got bullied (yes, it still happens then), guy got rammed into me, I was mad enough already (long story). Went ballistic. There were a bunch of bullies there. I went after the one, kicked him in the area, he slammed me into a wall and I went totally numb and lost control of my body for several seconds. Also, I was bleeding, and had to get staples in the back of my head.
A friend of mine wrote a letter to the local paper saying she was ashamed to be in the same class as those bullies.
No designer can make drawings as n00b-friendly as Susan Kare. I don't give a rat, I still think that MacOS before 8 was teh best for the n00bs. Me, I liked GS/OS because you could exit to a command line, but it was the same basic OS underneath as the Mac. (Except programmed for a 16-bit 65816, not a 32-bit 68000)
This is what they told Microsoft not to do to Windows. I have a feeling Longhorn will not be named Windows...that way, just like with the IE integration, M$ will be obeying the letter of the law and totally violating the spirit.
Microsoft, foo off! Next box I buy's going to be *x all the way, baby.

BTW there's a reason I said I should just FOAD...
Because doing things EXACTLY the same way I got a working 2.4.20.

I didn't have to add that much stuff. USB I think, and the i810 RTC/RNG, and I think that was all.
-uso.
Heh, I think a picture of Mai Shiranui on boot would be more important, to me anyway. "Yo! Me pretty!" :D
-uso.
I had no problem whatsoever extracting a vanilla 2.4.20 over RH8.
What modules or services do you need? make menuconfig and make sure that they are selected. Is it THAT hard?
-uso.
n00b kernel compiler.
I tried to install 2.4.21 and it wouldn't read my hard drive ...
Downgraded to 2.4.20 and it worked fine. These were both "stock" (kernel.org) kernels.
Before, I had only used the Red Hat 8 kernel, a modified 2.4.18. Both the 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 seem quite stable to me.

A 23W fluorescent light bulb is as bright as a traditional 100W bulb. That's a savings of 77%.
How do I know? Well, let's see... *looks at his lamp* 23W, and I have another one that's nice in the kitchen where it replaces two 60W bulbs.

Heh.

The furigana for the word are actually to-u-kyo-u. "Tookyoo" would work, if you use Nihon-shiki; I usually use a superset of Hepburn-shiki.
