<0> Minix source is in the Answer Tannenbaum book anyway
<0> Linus was also studying
<0> and well I had a PDP-11 in college and you have to learn some Berkeley Unix
<0> then Linus started all his **** in the newsgroups about Minix and the way it ****ed
<0> nobody cared tough
<1> I always hear about ppl getting annoyed w/ Linus
<0> he's a stupid ***hole
<1> how so?
<0> and the thread in the newsgroup with Tannenbaum was terrible back in the day
<0> the first kernel was terrible it ****ed way too much Andrew helped him a lot and then he insulted him really bad
<0> you can read all the **** in google if you search for Tannenbaum - Torvalds debate
<0> and we all had to read all their **** since we were subscribed in the newsgroup
<0> (comp.os.minix)
<1> k
<0> and we had to be there since you have to study Minix in college so we had no choice heh
<0> anyway in 1993 Linus came with a nice kernel and a nice booting Linux
<0> actually it was 1992
<0> I think you ask to Andrew Tannenbaum what he thinks about Linux and he'll still say the kernel is extremely bad programmed and stuff hehe
<2> you can get a good look at a butchers *** by sticking your head up a bulls ***
<3> is that tommy boy?
<2> yes
<3> great movie
<2> yes
<4> probably flash
<2> then the program ****s get a new one
<1> Nah, usually runs at 5-10%
<1> And it's less of a memory hog than firefox
<3> http://www.headhunterinc.com/carbon_fiber.htm
<2> was is that good for racing fans?
<2> why
<1> I'm out everyone, time for some learning and then off to bed
<2> learning is so gay
<5> hello
<5> anyone in here
<6> If anyone can help me load USB drivers in DOS for a cd drive I will be your best friend forever. This is the most impossible computer problem I've ever had.
<7> omg
<7> are you the dude that was here before?
<6> Yeah. Different nick. Good memory! :)
<8> DrNick if your here for trouble
<8> maybe its best you go away.
<0> the CD Drive is USB?
<8> lol
<8> [11:34pm] <6> FOR SALE: One lengthy black teenager.
<8> lol
<6> Scorpus: Yes.
<7> DRcanuck
<6> DJmart: Oh, you were in that chan too?
<7> drnick
<8> im in everychannel
<8> MUHAHAHA
<7> what os are you trying to load
<6> I was being stuipd cuz they banned me a long time ago for something stupid.
<6> Win98.
<8> okay my appologies
<7> here is what youdo
<7> buy the usb to ide adaptor
<7> format it fat32
<0> that won't work
<7> transfer the contents of the win98 directory on the cd to the hd
<7> boot a dos disk
<6> No prob. It's actually a George Takei reference from when they edited little segments together on the Stern show and made a prank call. In case you might be wondering. :/
<7> c:
<7> cd\win98
<7> setup
<0> the USB to IDE won't work, he needs actually an "IDE to USB"
<7> that's what I mean
<7> stupid canuck
<0> and such thing exist?
<6> I appreciate the suggestion, flyback, but if all possible I'm trying to find a method that won't cost any money. I'm actually doing this for my grandparents.
<7> dude
<7> you keep the adaptor
<7> it kicks *** for emergencies like this
<7> ok
<7> do it this way
<6> Yeah...I guess that would work...but I don't own a laptop or usb drive of any kind. I guess I will check out some prices of these little gadgets though.
<7> wait isn't this a laptop
<7> you are reloading
<6> yes
<6> But it's not mine.
<7> so the adaptor works with 2.5 and 3.5 inch
<7> depending which model you get
<7> ok lemme explain again
<7> it allows you to attach ide hard drives and cdroms
<7> to a usb port
<7> like your usb cdrom
<0> yeah but he would need a driver flyback-
<6> Right...I just wish there was a magic bootdisk that would fix my problem. Normally I wouldn't sound so stubborn about the whole thing...but I've made dozens of floppies just trying to come up with a solution.
<0> the USB to IDE doesn't work in DOS.
<6> Right...
<7> dude
<0> 'cos there's no DOS driver for that adaptor
<7> he doesn't use it in dos
<7> he preloads the win98 cabs to the hd
<7> from his own pc
<0> he said DOS
<7> DUDE
<0> but from DOS the laptop doesn't boot Windows...
<7> HE FREAKING PRELOADSTHE INSTALL FILES ON THE HD
<7> BOOTS A SIMPLE DOS FLOPPY
<0> I KNOW
<7> C:
<7> CD\WIN98
<7> SETUP
<0> but how CAN HE COPY THEM if he does NOT HAVE AN OS BOOTING
<7> I DID 1000'S OF THEM
<7> DUDE
<7> YOU USE THE USB TO IDE ADAPTOR
<7> put the hd in his working pc
<0> in WHAT COMPUTER?!?!? THE COMPUTER DOES NOT BOOT
<7> he is on now
<7> ****ING GOING TO BAN YOU IN 15 SECONDS
<7> IF YOU DON'T GET OFF THE CRACK PIPE
<0> DrNick: The computer loads Windows or not?
<7> YOU ****ING FOREIGN COCK ****ER
<0> haha
<6> Scorpius: I have a formatted computer with nothing but dos.
<0> ok you have NOTHING BUT DOS RIGHT?
<6> Correct.
<0> you CAN'T BOOT WINDOWS RIGHT?
<0> ok YOU
<0> ARE
<6> Correct.
<0> ****ED
<0> you need another computer
<0> so you can unplug your notebook HDD
<0> and plug it in another computer like flyback- says
<0> copy the CABs.
<0> and then plug it back into the notebook
<0> and run setup.exe
<6> I think flyback is saying I should connect the laptop's HDD to the adaptor and load the files onto it from my working PC and then place it back in the laptop and do the C: win98 stuff.
<6> yeah.
<7> yeah
<0> yeah
<7> ok but lemme think mabye there is a way to do with with what you have
<0> (but you need another computer!)
<0> with just one computer? hmmm
<7> drnick
<0> weird that your laptop doesn't have a CD drive, I mean
<0> I have an old laptop
<0> really old
<7> you need a linux floppy
<6> Linux floppy? That's one thing I've never used before.
<6> I'm aware of what linux is of course.
<0> wait the Windows 98 boot floppy doesn't load CD-ROMs on USB ports?
<7> no but a linux floppy would
<7> he could use it long enough to transfer the cabs
<7> lemme see what I can find
