And maybe a thought as well. It sounds doable to me. Removes foot from |

mouth. LOL |

I didn't feel that way. The only rig of mine that uses nvidia stuff is |
| 40 |
a fast one anyway. It doesn't matter to me but it may to someone that |
| 41 |
is forced to use a 200MHz rig with only 64MBs of ram. A laptop comes to |
| 42 |
mind as well. |

I would not object to the settings package as long as it does not change |
| 52 |
the defaults when it installs. For me the default works. Why mess with |
| 53 |
what works? |

I have four rigs: |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
1: Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now two 80GB hard drives. |
| 64 |
2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive. |
| 65 |
3: Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 128MBs of ram and a 2.5GB drive. |
| 66 |
4: Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB SCSI drive. |
| 67 |

All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers. |
