<0> hehe that's a good one
<1> -48C in winnipeg right now with the wind chill
<1> *that* is cold
<0> what is it really?
<1> -39C
<0> hmm, ya, bit nippy
<2> better not pee outdoors
<3> I use my dog as a poor man's thermometer
<3> the dog pants = it's below -20
<3> .. over -20 I mean :)
<2> hehe
<1> lol
<1> old school
<4> Could someone direct me to a HOWTo or something like that for compressing a Debian filesystem with cloop? I tried this one: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT4540125636.html but it doesn't have specific insturctions.
<4> and which do people like more for an apt access method: ftp or http?
<4> I prefer FTP, but I'm not sure.
<4> oldschool?
<5> extra, extra, read all about it, oldschool is http://web.archive.org/web/19970414140611/http://www.debian.org/
<4> yay, blootbot :D
<4> could someone help me with my quetion?
<4> punani, cloop?
<5> rumour has it, cloop is a kernel module for a compressed looback drive
<1> I use http
<4> hmm
<1> I dunno about the cloop howto
<1> google for it I guess
<4> the one before gave an fstab file but not much else :P
<1> it 'just works' in knoppix, so maybe you can reverse engineer it from there
<4> reverse engineering knoppix is to me like an IC is to an ant:
<4> neither of us could understand it
<4> or something like that
<1> why do you want to compress?
<4> because the debian base system (with localepurge) is 205mb
<4> and that is UNACCEPTABLE
<1> rofl why?
<4> (for my USB vmware system)
<1> ahh usb
<1> gotchya
<4> i only have a 512mb drive :P
<4> and it's already got a ton of other stuff on it
<4> torpark, continuum, yahoo widgets, etc.
<1> sounds like you might want something like damnsmalllinux or whatever
<4> NO!
<4> no knoppix
<1> -shrug-
<4> knoppix hates me *shiver*
<4> it attacked me
<4> its default resolution was 800x600
<4> and it almost killed the monitor I salvaged from an old voicemail system
<4> argh
<4> it gives a debian image for the CF
<4> but I have no idea how to use it
<2> open/free bsd
<2> netbsd
<2> those should be ~150 megs iirc
<4> NO!
<4> no unix
<4> I need apt
<2> bsd!=unix
<4> Berkely Standard Distribution Unix
<4> it used to be unix
<4> and I still need apt
<4> if i can't use Debian, I'd rather use TOPs-20 than BSD or Knoppix
<4> punani, BSD?
<1> BSD was never really unix
<5> read also "bsd license", or a brand of free UNIX clones, freebsd for x86 and sparc64, netbsd for damn near every arch, and openbsd for paranoid people, or 00:48 < beta3> BSD stands for Bull **** Distribution
<1> Blindinlgy Stupid Distribution, I have also heard :)
<1> Blindingly, even
<1> anyone here used OTRS and similar? I'm looking for OTRS alternatives, but am coming up empty
<1> *surely* there is something else that is open?
<6> greetings all!
<6> how goes it
<1> sup ilf8?
<6> heh
<6> I just got back from the hobby shop they have a sale going on
<6> I was the first one in the door and 2 of their sale items they don't have in stock
<6> wtf
<6> bait and switch bull****!
<1> nice
<6> ok I'm done complaining about that
<6> what are you up to phobia anything good or just work?
<1> nuffin
<1> going to put a roast beef in the oven in a few minutes
<6> ooo sounds good
<6> my biatch wife this morning is giving me ****
<6> made me stir my own coffee
<6> =P
<1> it looks like a good cut, but it came from the grocery store and not the butcher, so I guess we'll see
<1> lol
<6> I told her it was going to be a day of beatings
<6> and she's laughing at me
<1> haha
<6> **** I'm in such a mood today
<6> must be sleep deprivation or something acting really punchy
<3> man I'm bored
<3> actually I was bored enough to open a bottle of rum
<1> mmmmm rum
<3> now I'm drunk AND bored.
<1> lol
<3> too bad my CB gear is in the car, I guess I could annoy some truckers
<1> breaker breaker one nine, y'all gotchyer earz onn come back?
<3> I guess the slang here is rather different than in the states
<6> lol
<7> is anyone here?
<8> nope
<8> everyone has left
<6> lurking maybe
<7> OKOKOKKO peoples of the internet! ahem
<7> i installed debian sarge, and I'm very used to CLI stuff, from way back amiga days and DOS and for a lot of stuff in xp too.
<7> I can't for the life of me, figure out debian.
<7> I'm at /root
<2> docs?
<7> how do I list ?volumes?
<5> it has been said that docs is http://www.nl.debian.org/doc/, or /usr/share/doc/<programname>
<2> you really should read something for basic linux usage
<7> like when in old dos days the first thing youd do is dir /p
<2> punani listkeys ref card
<7> k
<5> Factoid search of 'ref card' by key ( shown): debian ref card.
<7> k k
<2> debian ref card?
<5> from memory, debian ref card is http://people.debian.org/~debacle/refcard/, or http://www.linuks.mine.nu/debian-faq-wiki/
<2> that will also help you a lot
<7> is there a reason why people install apache1.3xx still instead of 2.xx
<2> yes
<7> just cuz of familiarity? easier to maintain? less files to deal with?
<7> just a "yes" ?
<7> are thre articles that deal with this?
<7> i know that google is my guardian, but sometimes, REAL PEOPLE are nicer
<2> just get 1.3
<1> apache2 is poo!
<2> you kniow, i cure people of phobias
<7> are you scared of the future?
<1> the only thing that frightens me is an ubuntu or gentoo user with root
<7> HAHAHAHA
<7> if i came on here, what would you consider a good question?
<1> "Can I have your address so that I can send you money?"
<2> clambot: something you have researched by yourself already
<2> or, maybe, seeking an opinion of you choose between two pieces of software or more
<2> actually that is a good question
<3> clambot: what's the problem?
<7> well, i've looked for 5 minutes on google, and couldn't find a good resource that told me how to get a "view" in the CLI of what my machine is
<3> I'm drunk and bored. maybe I can help
<7> my gf is in the canary islands :(
<2> ha
<2> not your gf any more then
<7> she'll be back sunday
<7> debian is the next best thing to a gf
<3> "You might think she's your 'gal', but she really is everyone's 'pal'"
<7> this IS NOT helping me get a "view" of my machine from /root
