I'm running it right now and except for manually tweaking the nvidia 
drivers it runs great.  The only thing (besides the nvidia stuff) that i 
had to do was edit fstab.

I had to add the following and make sure that sys and devpts were compiled 
in:

tmpfs   /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts  /dev/pts        devpts  defaults,noauto 0 0
sysfs   /sys            sysfs   defaults        0 0

alsa drivers failed on cast but since they are provided by the kernel i 
didn't mind.  the nvidia spell's wrong so they wouldn't cast.  i had to 
recast it using my 2.4.22 kernel to get glx and then i had to manually 
apply the driver patch to compile for the 2.6 kernel. oh and i had to add 
nvidia to /etc/modules other wise it wouldn't load automatically.
