<0> or something
<0> matja: that encrypted disk setup sounds cool. That some crypto loop type support in the kernel?
<1> i cant remember how i had that setup, i havent used it since. it has gone through various revisions
<1> they started with crypto loop but now i think the dm-crypt mapper is the preferred method
<1> which is a component of device-mapper, the underlying code for lvm
<0> Wow. That sounds like some cool stuff. Sounds neat to give a try but I would fear for the worst.
<1> its easy to use
<1> its built-in to gentoo's baselayout
<1> /etc/conf.d/cryptfs
<0> very cool.. I might give it a go.
<1> with a custom initrd, you can have an encrypted root filesystem which takes the encryption key from a usb stick or something
<1> for the truly paranoid
<1> ;)
<0> hehehe..
<2> and encrypt the encryption :p
<0> It sounds like something fun to try but it would **** to screw it up and be locked out
<2> You can always do a test instalation on a spare partision :)
<0> Good point man.
<1> partition? EVIL
<1> lvcreate
<2> Why are partions evil?
<2> hmm, gues I'll have to look in to lvcreate
<0> I think it's an lvm tool for creating lvm volume or something?
<0> it's neat because it allows you to resize stuff easily.
<3> there isnt any way to convert an reiserfs partition into an lvmgroup without erasing the contents is there?
<4> no
<5> What's so good/different about lvm anyway. What is it, and how does it help me
<0> In my limited understanding the beauty of lvm is how it allows you to easily resize volumes. I think it some how chunks out the drives and then can easily interleave it for the resize. I could be (and often am) wrong. ;)
<0> here is some info about it: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/benefitsoflvmsmall.html
<3> was that answer for me brujoh ? :P
<6> any one home ?
<6> :D
<0> ahh Two9A was asking about lvm earlier so I was just tossing some out there
<7> aren't you?
<6> still having troubles with the gentoo installer ,,, seems like it dosnt write the partition table
<6> live cd 2006
<8> rebel_Eye, the installer is a piece of ****
<8> don't use it
<8> iw wouldn't work at all for me
<8> it
<6> yeah i know
<6> it works ok
<6> till i click install
<6> then it just sits there...
<9> its nice, but i dont see the use for it yet
<9> err
<9> i mean, i dont see it as ready
<10> Does anyone know how i can prevent a particular package (wine) from being updated when i emerge --sync? I've got all these custom patches in it, and it all gets wiped out everytime. :\
<11> agreed
<6> grrrrr that blows
<11> frame, mask that version.
<11> err the versions above it.
<12> frame: make an overlay
<12> frame: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Portage_Overlay
<10> Can i have more then one?
<11> an overlay!
<11> hehe
<10> Ah, well, that ought to get me started. :P
<10> Thanks.
<11> couldn't think of the name.
<6> i dont get why they tried to make the install fancy
<6> shoulda just made it work !
<9> dont let a working product get in the way of some fancy art
<13> i am this |----------------------------------------| tired
<9> sleep++?
<13> unfortunately not ++sleep :(
<13> ive managed to upload 5gb in the past 3 days and download 1 :(
<9> ive managed to download 18gb in the past 4 days
<13> damn
<6> yeah i just dont want to sit there installing it for a week lol
<9> rebel_Eye; let it go while you're @ work
<6> id like a base install and network support and ill go from thee :D
<9> i wouldnt mind unattended installations
<9> that would be quite handy
<6> well i have slack @ work ...
<6> and im tryin to get gentoo on my desktop
<9> bwahahaha
<13> gh0st- build your own unattended setup
<9> reseller asked me to install an enterprise backup solution on slackware
<9> i laughed at them
<13> besides boot stuff
<9> warflyr; i did :(
<9> hacky bash script
<14> thrasher
<14> you here?
<9> it kinda worked.
<13> nice
<6> slack is too time consuming for a desktop ...
<6> cuz of the lack of deps.
<9> mm
<13> id just build one perfectly built system, tar ball it and use it for my stage4
<13> slack was fun
<9> now its just useless
<6> gentoo is the new slack
<13> you have to build everything from source ;(
<11> rebel_Eye,you think gentoo is any better for a desktop?
<6> well ...the portage helps
<13> then ahve to follow have the depends
<6> and the dependencies
<13> katepls now it is
<6> i was using slack for my desktop
<13> since there are no packages for it
<6> i might go back but i sorta wana try gentoo
<11> i haven't used slackware since 3.4
<11> i hated how they jumped to 7.
<6> heheh i remeber that
<6> 8-10 years back
<11> goddamn man.. i hate to leave work, but i got this boil on my *** that's killing me.
<13> and that jump wasnt even a large upgrade
<13> they didnt have glibc until ver10
<6> they wanted to keep up with redhat :D
<11> warflyr, they admitted it was done to keep pace with the rh versioning.
<6> i know
<9> smart idea
<6> that glib **** made life hell
<6> slack is good , i can install it in 5 min , and be online in 2 more min , downloading porn in another 2 :D
<11> and in 2 years you have to install the "newest version"
<6> but pkgtool is old school and yeah
<6> excatly ...no much auto upgrade ability
<13> i have 9 different types of socks in my clean laundry basket, dont have any matching pairs
<9> agreed - gentoo is the new slack
<6> warflyr ...join the club
<0> warflyr: matching is overrated
<6> ;)
<13> i try to keep the same top on the sock ;)
<6> i just digg
<13> i dont care what the body looks like
<0> hehehe
<6> who takes of their shoes @ work anyways
<13> true
<13> theyre under the desk 90% of the time
<6> hehehe yeah
<6> and if there looking , there just plain weird
<13> true
<13> ty efnet
<0> yeah some ocd people check for things like that.. are YOUR socks matching? I'm just checking..
<0> (no offense to the ocd in the channel)
<6> damn commies
<13> rebel_Eye i alway wondered who caused splits
<13> would never have guessed the commies
