MOL on gentoo

[linuxjr at eircom.net]

Hey Bill

MOL is complaining about the partition being non-HFS partition.

As for the sound I switched over to OSS and ran a cable from headphone socket to line-in of my usb soundcard (the ALSA part of the equation). 

Is MOL suspended when switching VT's as I lose all sound from iTunes when I switch to a different VT.
