First of all guys a very good job.
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.
