Hello,
Hope this is the right list for these problems...
After a few builds on a fresh machine I've gotten it bascily working.
Running off of devel. Tried stable but just couldn't get it to work (though it might now as I'm better at remembering these things).
Using the 1st, 3rd, and 5th optimizations listed for a PIII dual box.
Problems I didn't notice discussed anywhere when I looked:
Basesystem fails integrity check, saying it is missing an install log.
basesytem:20021103:installed:0.8.2

as root do:
touch /var/log/sorcery/install/basesystem-0.8.2
to fake it out.

bash: line1: ps: command not found
this appears throughout the integrity check, doesn't seem to cause any problems that I've noticed

ps is provide by procps; try and "cast -c procps" see if that fixes things.

Finally, as a suggestion, while doing a sorcery-rebuild, or build of a large package, my montior often goes into energy saving mode (screen blanks out) and I need to press a key to bring it back up. Unfortunately the rebuild is often waiting for the answer to a question (do you wish to install a package you do not want? [y]) and I end up answering it pressing a key to see the screen again. It would be nice to have an option to have it only process the 'y', 'n', and maybe 'space' or 'enter' keys so I can refresh my screen without worries on a large build.

I hit the numlock key, but there is a way to change that time delay, damned if I can remember how though. did you do a search on google or yahoo for the answer to that one? If you find it let us know, or put it in the wiki?
