the toots have moved to http://www.djcj.org/

but if that is hosted on the same server as boosthardware you might be
out of luck.

If that is the case you can use the google cache to look at the toots.
You just need to know their names.  Someone can post these I am sure.

Also I would recommend you subscribing to at least the ardour-users
list.

I am sure a lot of people would be interested in hearing a bit more
about this!  How are the snapshots generated?

in my /root/.bashrc:

export ARDOURRC=/root/ardour.rc

in  my /root/ardour.rc
    <Option name="pixmap-path" value="/usr/local/music/src/ardour/pixmaps"/>

When X starts I starts and fire up a terminal I start another bash to read 
the bashrc file referring to the ardour.rc file.  Might work without
that if you put it in the .bash_profile file, but I remember having some
problems with that, the terminal not reading it or something.

Help that helps,
