well i installed wine from source following my instructions, took a while and had no errors, but nothing happened at the end (ie no wine options in the settings menu anything, cant open exe). so i got wine from the 32bit salix repo and installed it, still nothing. so whats going on, is it something ...

well i jumped the gun and installed the multilib. made a thread here http://www.salixos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=666

im just installing wine now to make sure the multilib works. then i will re-install the ati drivers, see if it makes anything better.

i had to have a go at installing multilib to see if it would fix my ati drivers. i think i did it correctly, im installing wine now to find out. i wrote the instructions into a wiki, it helps me remember better when i write the instructions down.

thanks for that, gets the program open at least. but i fiddled with every setting and none helped, so im going to first try a couple of different video players and then look at the multilib.

when i installed both my computers with salix full install, i was never prompted for any host name or anything. they both defaulted to darkstar. i tried a basic install out of curiosity just before and it did ask me for the host name, and it had the same prompts as running netconfig from the ...

well i looked into rubyripper and gave it a go, it is easy to use. looks like it should make accurate rips (comparing them multiple times), so thats good. but i dont know it handles gaps, EAC gives many options on which audio file to add the gaps to. also, there is some albums i have with pregaps ...

okay i will give it a go then, cant hurt. ill rip a few cd's and compare to rips i have already done with EAC.

1 thing that (according to this site: http://www.accuraterip.com/software.htm ) no linux program does is use the AccurateRip 'service'. EAC also has many advanced error correction ...

re samba, other people that live with me have windows laptops etc, so getting samba working 100% is my best option.

re ripping, i had EAC running great under wine in ubuntu and xubuntu, so i presume it will work fine in salix (if i can get wine running). i know there are linux programs that can rip ...

re qmake, i just thought it would be a good idea to have it on its own. its 40mb download to get the qt package, and all that is required is 1 little part thats probably only 1mb. Downloading mythtv is only like 20mb (from memory), so the majority of downloads is for qt.

i had done a bit of ...
