<0> spb: so what's your point other than i'm right? :)
<1> you can't spell
<0> yes I can
<1> and i should go and see how my "sausages" are doing
<0> I just spelled, yes, and I and can.
<0> see?
<2> hey guys i'm eating a pork hoagie with pickles
<0> did I spell salami right?
<3> nope
<3> written salaam
<0> how is it sepelled smart ***?
<0> OHHHHHHH
<0> f u
<0> :)
<3> :D
<0> 15 more lbs WOOT
<3> :D
<3> bitrot maybe you can say something smart to me
<3> gentoo minimal cd absolutely refuses to boot
<3> i've tried FOUR releases now
<3> going all the way back to 2004 :p
<0> sounds like a personal problem
<0> oh wow haha
<3> i'll have to go knoppix it seems
<0> that's so weird
<0> ppl have had problems booting the livecds in the past but i'm not sure why
<3> i get some abstract message about not being able to load the kernel properly
<0> oteren: do you have another PC to test with?
<0> perhaps it's a bad burn?
<3> then i'm punted into some half ***ed shell
<3> works on two different laptops i tested on :<
<0> huh
<0> very weird
<4> you could try turning off apci or acpi or whatever it's called, I've seen some LiveCDs fail on particular computers because it was on by default and should have been off...
<3> turn off where?
<3> bios?
<3> or alter the livecd?
<4> option p***ed to the kernel
<3> i have nowhere to alter the livecd from :p
<3> ah there
<3> hmm
<3> i think i tried that
<3> but i KNOW the old 2004 livecd doesnt send that option at all
<3> so cant be that
<4> you might need to play with the various options. THere's a TON of them
<4> maybe you're trying to load a framebuffer and the video isn't vesa compliant?
<4> it's a guess
<3> it is related to reading the kernel
<3> that much i figured out
<3> no time to read the error proprely
<3> properly
<5> oteren: Linux is too complicated
<5> Don't bother
<3> i get tossed into that failsafe shell before i can read anything
<5> Just install Ubuntu and keep it simple, stupid
<3> :D
<5> Seriously though
<3> actually, i use ubuntu on laptops :p
<5> ya me too
<3> and i preach ubuntu to the people
<3> then lure them onto gentoo ^^
<5> I figure man, I have so much useless Linux information in my head that could be replaced with important stuff.
<5> God if I lured my friends to Gentoo they would bother me with questions after random emerge -u world breakage.
<3> i lure them onto, then go dark
<3> ofc
<4> oteren: does dmesg say anything in the failsafe shell?
<3> doesnt excist
<3> *exist
<3> you have.. no commands actually
<3> i havent found any that works yet :p
<4> does the CD image p*** md5sum?
<4> or sha1sum?
<0> if it works on two other boxes i would imagine the CD is fine...
<4> you could have a hardware flaw
<0> oteren: still would be a good idea to check the md5 tho
<3> i seem to remember i booted knoppix on this pc
<0> wouldn't hurt
<3> so i'm downloading knoppix atm
<0> but **** if you've tried other discs too that's just ****ed
<3> if that works it doesnt really matter
<0> oteren: you have a USB flash drive?
<3> not large enough :/
<0> not even for the minimal?
<3> 128mb
<0> ah
<3> ey, thats big enough
<0> yikes :\
<0> get a 1giger :)
<3> :D
<3> minimal is 48mb
<0> **** I picked up a 2gig for $50 :)
<0> oh is it?
<0> ahh
<0> score :)
<3> hehe i dont need it, i got remote storage on the internet
<0> try that
<0> boot from the flash
<3> and 100mbit here and at school
<0> oteren: well I do too but that's not the point
<3> "on the internet" haha
<0> I like having tools at my disposial heh
<3> on a remote server i meant =p
<0> how many tubes do you own oteren ?
<0> IT's a SERIES OF TUBES
<3> hahaha :D
<3> i have NEVER booted from usb drives before, no idea how to even prep the drive
<0> bless this ignorant country :(
<0> oteren: I used one for my 360 flashing
<0> it's a disc tho so you can format it as a bootdisk :)
<0> http://www.weethet.nl/english/hardware_bootfromusbstick.php
<0> bah that wont help
<3> hold the horses a little while more :D
<3> i'm gonna try knoppix first just to see
<0> k
<0> that's a good idea
<3> if that doesnt work, i'll jump onto usb drive tomorrow =)
<0> but booting from flash is fun :)
<0> should be easy in linux actually
<0> all you have to do is fdisk /dev/sda
<0> whatever your usb flash drive is
<0> make the partition, set it as bootable
<0> then mkfs on that partition, then setup grub to boot
<6> anyone know how to regenerate a qmail certificate after it expires?
<6> qmails' servercert/clientcert that is
<3> dont have linux anywhere near me atm :/
<3> can do it at the linux labs tomorrow at school though
<0> oteren: you can do this in windows too just not so 'smoothly'
<0> and honestly you should check if your bios has a boot priority that you can set the USB to boot :)
<3> that it does have
<3> booted from usb dvd-recorder
<0> ah cool
<3> to see if it was the dvddrive :p
<0> hehe
<7> hm, why doesnt gcc use the multilib USE flag that I specify?
<3> ..............................
<3> borrowed an external hdd from a friend
<3> to copy over a lot of ****
<3> cause i'm repartitioning
<3> and its fat32!!
<3> what the hell
<3> i just downloaded 40gb of hdmovies and now i cant back em up
<0> yeah
<0> it's fat32 for a _REASON_
<0> jesus
<0> it's so ppl with OS X / Linux and WINDOWS can use the damn drive
<0> would you rather have had it be NTFS?
<0> so it _ONLY_ can work w/ windows?
<0> and just read from OS X and linux?
