I realy like the distribution you provide. I ran into a little problem when i followed your desktop guide. Its is mentioned quit well that you can download and install the NVIDIA accelerated driver from your site. However trying to compile it I got a message about an unresolved reference _mmx_cpy I was able to find out the reason. I run a kernel optimised for the Amd Athlon porcessor which has no mmx functions. ( the Proscessor type in the kernel configuration was set to Athlon) I had to recompile the kernel as if I had a regular pentium III to resolve the problem. It might be worth mentioning this in the desktop guide. Other might run into the same problems. Regards Hans van der Schaaf Netherlands.
