[gentoo-dev] kernel PCMCIA

[gentoo-dev] kernel PCMCIA

[Gert Dewit]

I've posted following message on the gentoo-install forum, but I'd like to
know from you guys why gentoo is using the non-kernel PCMCIA stuff from
pcmcia-cs in the install initrd.

Daniel put that on the install CD per my recommendation.  My understanding 
is that pcmcia-cs has newer/more drivers than the kernel.  If this is no 
longer correct, then we can certainly switch to kernel-only modules on the 
CD in the future.

Hey everyone,

I've whipped up an ascii font of gentoo for everyone's use.  I'm using
it for my /etc/issue screen.  I'm still working on doing the wacky
gentoo `g' in ascii.  I'll post it if I can make it purty. ;)

Cool.  Mind if I use this in the /etc/issue faq I am writing?  You will
get full credit of course.

That'd be fine by me.  I'm releasing it so that anyone can enjoy it. ;)

I really struggled with the main symbol.  I tried to find something that
filled the space and gave the font the most "connected" look, especially
on vga-text 80x25.  For some reason, I found the '$' pleasing.  Maybe it
was subconscious, I didn't realize the connotation until you mentioned
it. ;)  If you so desire, just "cat gentoo.asc | sed 's/\$/%/'" or any
other character.  '%' was runner-up.  

Cheers.

It is a nice piece of work.  Thanks for sharing.  By the way, cat
gentoo.asc | sed 's/\$/%/g' works fully.  Where did '@' end up on the
runner-up list?
