| 21 |
more similiar... |

Ohuuuuh...("flat hand onto myfronthead"-effect)..I only used the |
| 34 |
"search" button of the gentoo forum and found nothing |
| 35 |
appropiate...Google didnt came into my mind. Sorry....and thank you |
| 36 |
for the link, Daniel. |
| 37 |

| 38 |
(still the question of the very different image sizes remains...) |

My old PC is ... very old. It needs 30 Minutes after poweron until |
| 54 |
"something" (dont know what exactly) gets warm enough so that the |
| 55 |
beast will boot successfully. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Therefore I plan to replace the "core" of the PC with a new stuff. |
| 58 |
Motherboard, Athlon 64 X2 3800+, RAM. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
But I still didn't have decided waht mobo to buy and what kind of |
| 61 |
RAM in how to split it in banks. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Therefore I need some hints concerning this "problem"... |
