The funambol outlook plug-in is a way to synchronize the Outlook system with my.funambol.com. Outlook as a mail client is horrible but as an address book it contains a lot of options that are helpful in keeping the addresses in check. I use it as a storage repository for addresses, notes from my PDA, and even as a Calendar.

It usually hapens and you need to install Windows for some reason or another. For me it is to VPN back in to the office and to be able to do something on an Internet Exploder only internal system. VmWare to the rescue!
For those that do not know VmWare is a company that makes quite a few products, some are free and some are paid. It is a good system and allows you to do various things with Virtualization. There are some nice changes in the 6.5.X linux version which is inclusion of a network configurator which used to be a royal pain in the …caugh…
In either case how do you get it installed. With Gentoo it is actually quite easy because it is in the repository. Here is what was done with 6.5.3.185404 on 2.6.29-r5 kernel. If you have a later kernel it should be the same.

It looks like in the 64 bit installation the developers forgot to include some SATA (can not say all because I do not have all controllers) controllers on the system. This causes the SATA drives to be recognized as IDE drives (hda) instead of Sata (SCSI) based drives (sda).
This is only a minor annoyance but if you have a known sata controller and during the install you exhibit this behavior just save yourself an extra reboot and inside the fstab file put in /dev/sdax (where x is the drive number), instead of /dev/hdax as per the instructions.
