You could always switch to Gentoo. Building from stage1 you have to specify the CHOST as well as make options for your processor (march=, mcp=, etc...). -Jared On Mon, 7 Mar 2005 22:17:48 -0800 (PST), J Schonber <schonm(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Chuck, > > I moved to Linux Mandrake long ago becuase they made an effort at > i586.

Re: [Wlug] i686 gcc on fedora or rhel4

by J Schonberg

Chuck, I moved to Linux Mandrake long ago becuase they made an effort at i586. I have no idea why Redhat/Fedora continues with i386 but I don't want to start a flame war here. If you need a compiler (i.e. you currently have none) get an RPM for fedora. You can get one from rpmfind.net. It's possible that you can find a i686 RPM (although is suspect all you will find is i386). if you don't find i686, then just take the i386 one and boot strap a new compiler. A source tar ball for gcc can be gotten from a number of mirrors. Homepage here : http://gcc.gnu.org/ Mirrors listed here : http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html It's not difficult to bootstrap a compiler. If you need assistance doing this, let me know. Good luck.

i686 gcc on fedora or rhel4

by Chuck Haines

Does anyone know if I can get binaries so I can compile for i686 on fedora and / or rhel4. I'm trying to set up distcc, but I need i686 in order for it to work. The machines are more than compatible and I don't know what redhat hasn't finally switched over.

WPC54G and Gentoo

by Chuck Haines

Does anyone here have experience with a Linksys WPC54G and Gentoo? I've installed the ndiswrappers according to the gentoo HOW-TO and installed the correct driver for the wireless card. The card is detected just fine, however when it tries to associate with an AP it always fails. I've tried setting the parameters manually with iwconfig and then running dhcpcd, however it doesn't get an IP. According to iwconfig it is seeing the AP but not pulling an IP. Any help with this would be much appreciated. I'd like to get this running.

Re: [Wlug] Uninstall Suse Linux 8.0

by Jared Greenwald

Get to a command-line and forward along a copy of your X server config file. This is either /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/xorg.conf depending on whether you are running XFree86 or X.org... That combined with the information you just sent should be enough to triage. My only concern is that you are getting events from two pointers on the usb bus that both think they are the correct mouse. That's most likely your problem, but the X server config will shed more light. -Jared On Sun, 06 Mar 2005 23:47:52 -0500, philrmcss(a)netscape.net <philrmcss(a)netscape.net> wrote: > Andy Stewart <andystewart(a)comcast.net> wrote: > > >On Sunday 06 March 2005 7:20 pm, philrmcss(a)netscape.net wrote: > >> I have installed Suse Linux Home Edition 8.0 on my machine.

Well, even if you had a DVB card, you most likely wouldn't be able to descramble the channels anyway, so you'll still end up needing to use your cable/satellite box with MythTV anyway. I just noticed that my Charter digital cable box has SVIDEO out... and the HD-3000 has SVIDEO in, so I'll probably go this route.

I was looking at that card for a while and was tempted, but the key catch is that it only supports off the air signals. Meaning you need an antenna. You can't use it with your cable or satelite system. But, if you're already watching HDTV off an antenna, it seems like a great way to go. Scott Chuck R.
