I’m somewhat comfortable doing simple repairs, but I don’t mess with anything that has the potential to leave my vehicle undrivable :P

Dude, emerge yourself Haynes service manual for your truck model, roll up your sleeves, solve dependencies and recompile the thing ;o)

If nothing else, you’ll get that unmistakable Gentoo feeling that one experiences when fu*king around with equipment that his a** might depend on the very next day….

I’ve been having car problems myself. Every now and then my car decides that its going to die every time I take my foot off the gas. I think its a rush hour protest, because thats when it seems to happen the most. I wish it would refrain on icy hills though. I’m going to have to take it into my boyfriends shop when I get my student loans. I also have to buy new glasses, because I broke my old ones. Suck!

Is there a project about Quickstart? I didn’t find it…

From where can I download Quickstart?

What are the difference between GLI and quickstart?

This was actually the thing I liked most about the installer, too bad you chose to go this direction :(

SIGALRM ..huh! i still remember my experience with it. Somewhere singals are not platform independent .. on windows use thread + win32api and for Posix use thread + std. signals .. thats how i resolved my problem.
