Okay had some time today. I'm working on the autounmask of |
2 |
xorg-xserver-9999 (running now). |

|

What is your recommended kernel for this build? |
5 |
|
6 |
I've been working to bring the server up to current (emerge -uv world) & |
7 |
revdep-rebuild (been about 4 months since I've updated packages) |
8 |
|
9 |
Should hopefully be able to build the Kernel and Xorg-Server tomorrow. |

Just to answer your last question. I've been running Gentoo on my |
12 |
alpha(s) for about 6 years (migrated to the DS20E earlier this year from |
13 |
an older alpha 800). I had contributed a bit to the livecd (2004 |
14 |
release) to support booting alpha with DEC Mylex 960 Raid controller |
15 |
(just identified the firmware levels of the DEC OEM version). |
