It stops immediatly saying it cannot get MOSIX-1.0.5.I am doing a fresh install with build.10_rc5.Is there a way to fix this?. > > Fetch MOSIX-1.0.5 yourself. > > But Caveat Emptor: -rc5's 2.4.6 is flaky as far as I can see. > Module support is broken based on some _mmx_* calls thats somehow > either not mangled, or mangled wrongly. Another caveat emptor: right now, the MOSIX support is in development and the "mosix" USE variable will cause your linux-*-2.4.6 packages to be patched incorrectly. I've posted to the MOSIX list and have found a MOSIX user who may be interested in helping test/improve MOSIX support in Gentoo Linux, but for now MOSIX support is still in development. -- Daniel Robbins President/CEO http://www.gentoo.org Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
