Actually nothing.  I get this too if I compile in DRI/DRM support into
my xfree86 build.  Just for the hell of it what kind of Video card do
you have?

Usually Lunar does a good job of providing options to the configure
script for you.  What are you trying to do?  What module do you want
extra options for?

Heh well I will tell you that 2gb will not be enough if you wish to have
a X server and run Gnome2.... thats just not possible.  If you wanted to
run a small server and always made sure your /var/spool/lunar and
/var/cache/lunar directories were clean of all sources and compiled
sources.  I would say you need atleast a 10gig hard drive if you wish to
keep sources and run some programs.  I have a 10 gig on my laptop which
works fine if I clean out my /var/spool/lunar directory every other day
or so.

No cambreloc has always worked fine for me but it might cause troubles
with other people.  What other opts do you have if you are having
trouble?

Actually I think there is a open mosix module.  I would check out the
crater modules from cvs and look there.
