<0> live-distros dont use swap unless you force them to use it
<1> as he isnt asking about what is possible
<1> he's asking about what he should do
<1> Enchanter_tim: actually most do its in memory though
<1> Enchanter_tim: good example is the knoppix cloop
<2> "how many partitons does it need again?" -> 1 is needed, 2 are recommended
<0> anyway
<0> those are semantics
<2> besides, you can have swap files instead of swap partitions
<3> 2 it is then, what kind and what size for RH 9?
<0> now fix my problem!
<0> :)
<1> Enchanter_tim: are you quoting?
<2> abhorred: 1 GB of swap, the rest as you see fit
<1> I use this formular
<1> amount of ram you will really need - amount of ram you have = swap to make
<0> cp `ls *Crypto* | grep pdf` crypto_dir
<3> Hmm, like 4-6 for the boot parition?
<1> but you are on rh9
<1> so I'm not ***isting you furhter if you are installing that
<2> abhorred: the *boot* partition won't need more than 30 MB
<1> install something nomre up to date
<2> abhorred: but I'm not sure if you really know what a boot partition is
<3> lol, the one that holds the damn bootstrap loader
<2> abhorred: and?
<3> nm, I aint asking the right questions
<1> rh defaul I think will make the boot 100
<1> abhorred: use the install defaults
<3> Heh, I never use the defaults thought ;\
<1> then why are ya asking
<3> Besides, you weren't helping me, remember?
<1> as what would the vendeor knwo about their system
<1> abhorred: no I'm not helping you install rh9
<1> abhorred: I will educate you on other matters
<4> heh
<2> etenik: would you mind?
<5> you guys keep making me laugh... and that's not funny because I have a terrible hangover.
<2> hmm... IRC is a poor substitute for a good mug of coffee
<0> nm, did it in another way
<1> thiago: ya got that right
<2> which reminds me...
<6> I am using windows 2000 ; can I install linux on vmware ?
<1> abhorred: rh9 is legacy and you will be rowing up hill
<1> lurking: yes
<1> abhorred: if you insist on redhat suggest you move to the fedora offerings fedora.redhat.com
<2> Enchanter_tim: suit yourself
<2> they're free :-)
<3> Is it free?
<0> heh
<5> ugh.. I don't even want to think about coffee...
<5> Tea for me
<2> |{evin: ok, drink chocolate then
<0> i dont have chocolate milk here
<6> which linux distro do you recommend I install on vmware ? I am new at this and I use ADSL on USB
<5> whatever distro you want
<6> I don't have a router, only a usb adsl line, will linux work on that ?
<7> thiago: Im reburning fc now.. using alcohol120% now, i hope it will work this time..
<7> I dunno what went wrong with my DVD-burner... :p
<8> does anyone here know whether Windows XP has a loader, just like Linux, or is MBR refering to the kernel itself?
<2> allow: I can tell you any OS has a loader
<8> thiago: thanks :)
<3> Loader, as in the first sector?
<9> hello
<9> all
<9> anyone can help me ???
<8> abhorred: the first thing of the operating system that the cpu executes. it should then load the kernel
<1> allow: sure its ntloader
<8> right, i've completely forgotten.
<1> or ntldr
<4> What is the "advantage" of the src.rpm ? that you can set a spec file for different distros?
<1> src rpms contain the spec
<4> so ppl can build its rpm for any available in the spec file ?
<4> yea
<1> source rpms are so you can rebuild an app with options but still hvae it as a package
<1> exaple say your postfix doesnt come with mysql support
<1> you get the source rpm
<1> rebuild with the options you want but it stays a package
<4> ohh
<4> understand now
<2> Toerkeium: no advantage
<2> it's just the source
<1> actually there is an advantage
<1> one which I just gave
<4> lets says, it's the source configured in some way
<4> right?
<4> configured = prepared
<2> no
<1> its the same source as from the vendor
<2> it's _source_, plus patches and build rules
<4> all options which are p***ed in ./configure can be modified in the specs file, for example?
<1> Toerkeium: yes
<4> you said that right cancel?
<1> but you wont need to
<2> Toerkeium: the .spec file runs ./configure
<1> in fact you dont even have to touch the spec
<2> therefore, you can set any option for ./configure in the .spec file
<1> you can p*** the option when you do your rpmrebuild
<4> great, now I got it
<1> most rpms just use the configure macro
<1> as rpm inherently understands it
<4> gonna examine a specs file
<1> same with the make macro
<1> Toerkeium: I have a few up
<1> as I'm the packager for stanis python editor
<10> hello
<10> can i ask something
<1> will give you a good guide on building rpms
<1> will post them for ya in a sec
<4> thanks a lot
<10> what is newest version of Fedora?
<2> JasonVorhees: Core 5 I think
<10> wow!
<10> core 5?
<10> I never found it over the internet
<10> thiago : can u give me the URL?
<2> no
<10> weheh
<10> ok
<10> that's ok
<1> Toerkeium: http://cancel.kicks-***.net/public/guest/myrpms
<1> Toerkeium: also will give you alink to a good pdf on all the sections
<1> http://www.gurulabs.com/GURULABS-RPM-LAB/GURULABS-RPM-GUIDE-v1.0.PDF
<4> thanks Cancel, saving that info ;)
<1> Toerkeium: if you need help with them let me know
<1> making rpms and debs is trivial once you've done it one or two times
<1> not much more work then compiling from source
<11> thiago i didnt use redhat since 5.1 (" and i had a french manual") hah
<1> lol
<4> excellent, I have a lot of applications, and always doing from source, so I think your guide will help me save a lot of work
<4> thanks a lot
<1> it does
<1> once you start rolling your own packages and see how painfully easy it is you wont go back
<1> and thats if you're on deb or rpm
<4> deb ?
<1> debian
<4> oh, no, I use fedora
<10> Toerkeium : U use fedora which version?
<4> oh, you ment debian or a rpm based distro?
<4> JasonVorhees, I use always a release before the most recent released
<3> Holy crap, even people who drowned in Crystal Lake use Linux? :P~
<1> abhorred: linux is that pimp
<3> I want a good distro with lots of little apps ;\
<1> little?
<3> Like RH came with Chess
<3> And like, 30 other games
<3> 50 some odd screen savers ;\
<3> The fun stuff that will make my mom accept it on her computer, lol
