Well, I'm gonna work on the kernel first..If that doesn't go over well (due to newbie inexperience), then I might not get to it

Well, doesn't matter, I'm gonna have the coffee machine and ashtrays handy for tonight ;D

Man, I can not get this thing to work for the life of me! It is having some kinda issue with my video card. AUGH, I hate messing with opengl in linux, when I first started learning Linux this is what gave me the most headaches. Of course back then, opengl was barely supported for Linux, but it is still givin me headaches today. YET! I will prevail! Heheh

I haven't been able to try it out yet. :'( Had to do my RedHat 7.2 install. ;D

Well, I just tried it. It runs, I can configure the setting, and grab a list of games to join. When I try to load a game it gets about 99% done then exits me back to the main menu. :'( Probably doesn't like my antique video card. Just going to have to build a new box one of these days. ;D I have been putting it off for way too long.
