You have a few options: #1. Run catalyst on your own box, not one where someone else is admin #2. VMware Server (it's free, you know) #3. hack catalyst locally #4. hire someone to do the work for you #5. bribe a catalyst developer to do it for you --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation --=-9x5H1kjiBNgRFYE/oXAf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFbKSFkT4lNIS36YERAshpAJwL3KsBde8az4Vm0Sl0YtWAFPH/QQCffjrs lfGx17jcTbBUxVtW6Txuafo= =6ox8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-9x5H1kjiBNgRFYE/oXAf-- -- gentoo-catalyst@gentoo.org mailing list
