I have no problem booting the Dreamcast. i've been hosting my test rig for |
| 32 |
kernel development on a debian based distro, but it is not maintained and |
| 33 |
I believe the gentoo one is - which is why i wanted to shift to it. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Further reading suggests that the way to do this is to set up a x-dev |
| 36 |
environment on one gentoo machine which hosts the NFS mount of the |
| 37 |
dreamcast stuff. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I suppose I could do that, but my current development machine is Ubuntu |
| 40 |
based and I was wondering if there was a way round that. |
