Comments:
<0> before shutting it down
<1> AfgX: the /bin dir contains many of the programs you need to keep the system running
<0> yeah
<0> agreed
<1> simple stuff like cp and mv live there
<0> yeah
<0> but there is no other way to get this data off?
<0> scp works but it complains about ****
<2> Why did you delete /bin in the first place ? :p
<1> well in theory ya could try copying the /bin stuff from another system.... may work for some stuff... but i wouldn't trust such a system... safest is to reinstall
<0> yeah but how would u copy that stuff from another systeM?
<0> i tried to scp in or out, no luck
<0> i dobut rsh will work right?
<1> AfgX: only way is to use a rescue disk
<0> yeah,
<0> i agree
<0> thanks
<0> i downloaded knoppix
<0> just 1 Cd
<0> i heard itw as a DVd
<0> but oh well
<3> sigh
<3> this is way more difficult than it should be
<4> everything has a logical solution
<5> 00-0F-66-75-E0-F0-88-A9-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 that is the mac address that come up for my wireless card.. it seems padded, how do i strip the padding off it?
<3> the first person to make it easy to install linux software will be rich
<3> this person does not yet exist
<2> dg123: You're attempting to use packages for one distribution on another?
<3> no
<3> just trying to install gcc
<3> but there are so many dependencies with different versions
<2> Install Debian and go apt-get install gcc. :)
<3> im close to doing that
<3> dropping this rh stuff
<3> what is the *easiest* linux distro
<3> no gui
<2> dg123: Debian. :)
<2> At least by my definition of "easy".
<2> (Which is something along the lines of "least work to maintain")
<6> I find unbuntu the easiest.
<6> It extends upon what debian is missing
<3> slackware a waste of time?
<3> i guess i just want the one that will be easiest to install things like gcc and other packages
<3> ssl, etc
<3> im looking at mandrake maybe?
<7> hey, what do I take snapshots in gnome with?
<1> all kinds of tools... there's even gnome applets for it... try the gimp
<3> hm
<3> ubuntu does look good
<3> and debian
<3> are these both okay for a web server tho? is there a preference among the 2?
<1> dg123: ubuntu is a great desktop distro..... server install is ok too...
<1> i prefer debian for servers myself
<1> not a lot of difference between them tho
<1> ubuntu may have newer packages than debian sarge is all...
<6> For "x" reason, I fuodn that ubuntu was far more successful than debian at detecting my laptop hardware
<3> k
<3> i am pretty sure it's going to be one of debian or ubuntu
<1> Molsenn: i doubt he'll be running his server on a laptop tho
<3> but the server wont have a monitor or anything
<6> true enough :)
<3> it's a rackmount dual cpu unit
<3> pure webserver. hm
<1> dg123: try ubuntu server then
<3> hm
<3> looks interesting
<3> will it allow for the neat apt-get tool for updating?
<2> dg123: Yes.
<1> dg123: if ya like having access to 20,000 packages that is....
<2> dg123: Ubuntu is built on Debian btw, if you didn't notice. :)
<8> Crib ._.

<18> hi - I have a question and need some pointers
<18> What file is it that changes the default boot INIT level
<19> /etc/inittab
<11> Silvine inittab, look for id:
<18> thanks - I remember it was an init file
<1> !wtf boot-X?
<17> edit /etc/inittab changing id:3:initdefault: to id:5:initdefault: to make your system boot straight to an X gui login prompt
<1> !wtf initdefault?
<17> setting id:3:initdefault: in /etc/inittab will make your system boot to the console. setting id:5:initdefault: will make it boot directly to X
<18> At the moment it boots straight to console
<1> distro's make a difference too....
<18> I have Fedora Core
<19> its 5 for X
<19> in fedora.
<1> and if X is working or not matters as well...
<1> Silvine: does startx work?
<18> I ran startx and I get a screen
<1> do you get a desktop?
<18> Oh sorry, desktop yeah
<1> ok.... then maybe as root the command telinit 5 will take you to a gui login...
<1> i have no idea what's the default desktop of recent fedora
<19> gnome
<1> !wtf xwinman?
<17> All the popular unix window managers, and desktops, and the diferences/similarities between them are all explained at http://www.xwinman.org/
<18> I think its running gnome
<18> I dunno
<18> In previous red hat releases its always been KDE and Gnome
<1> look in yer menus for some item like "About GNOME..." or similar
<18> I want to chroot the sshd for a jail
<18> Mostly for IRC
<18> Just finding the time
<18> At the moment I am ssh into the box from my windoze lappy
<20> how can i install unrar on debian
<20> apt-get install - can not find the package
<15> frodo123: make sure you have non-free in your apt sources.list
<4> blast!
