<0> well it would be nice if they had wifi
<0> fortunately I am not paying for my evdo service
<2> hey guys
<2> i can`t seem to be able to mount my floppy :(
<0> aw
<2> i type mount floppy /
<2> and nothing
<3> Phaid: all you
<0> I doubt "nothing" happens there Squeige
<0> I suspect you get an error message
<2> well says
<2> no device floppy
<0> uh huh.
<3> perm_denied_are_you_root.o
<3> If I didn't know any better...
<2> i am root
<4> why would you try to mount it over / in the first place?
<0> it's not a perm problem
<3> Phaid: unrelated :p
<2> i dont know where else to mount it
<0> mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
<3> that was a file in busybox, heh
<0> the standard place to mount floppies is /mnt/floppy
<0> or just /floppy
<0> either way, that directory has to exist before you can mount the floppy
<3> <confusion>
<3> or /, if it's a floppy distro
<3> </confusion>
<0> /kb Qwell[]
<3> :p
<2> ah ok progress :)
<0> :-D
<0> man I am hungry
<2> now it wants a lable, so -l a:??
<0> you shouldnt need to label it
<3> huh?
<4> just use mtools heh
<3> haha, okay, funny story
<0> no just the command I gave should work fine
<3> when I was younger...I thought floppy drives read/wrote the physical label on the disk
<2> well its saying a device can be given a name and a bunch of options
<0> haha
<0> Squeige what is saying that?
<2> when i type what you told me to
<2> its like a usage window
<0> wtf kind of mount command does that
<2> im on cent os
<2> i dont knwo
<0> does the directory you want to mount it on already exist?
<2> nope
<2> i looked in the mnt dir, theres nothing there
<0> I told you the dir needs to exist
<0> so
<0> mkdir /mnt/floppy
<0> to create it
<2> ok i did still same thing
<1> Phaid - how goes the kid?
<0> awesome. he's really coming along great
<2> i typed mount -t vfat /mnt/floppy and nothing :(
<0> you need to pay attention and type what people tell you to
<2> ill read back
<0> uh huh
<2> but i thought u typed that
<2> i did create the folder though
<0> anyway Mjolnir he's getting very social which is fun
<2> ah i missed a part sorry
<0> he seems to be a very friendly and outgoing little 4 month old
<0> we had a party on monday and all the girls were fawning all over him, he was so happy
<2> dam
<2> this thing is crazy
<0> http://www.debecker.net/william_2646.jpg
<2> so i mounted the floppy, now i do yum install ndiswrapper.1.19.tar.gz and its not doing it
<0> you don't use yum to install .tar.gz files
<1> Cute kid
<0> you can probably get yum to download ndiswrapper and install the rpm by doing yum install ndiswrapper
<0> thanks :)
<0> http://debecker.net/william2557.jpg
<2> so if not yum just install?
<1> So he's going to be primed to be a DJ
<2> or tar?
<0> sigh
<2> ok ill google
<0> if you really want to install from that tar.gz file you will have to untar it and use make
<2> good day
<0> Mjolnir quite possibly :)
<0> I know he has good taste in music
<0> he likes my current favorite band, The Birthday M***acre
<0> and at the party when my friend put on The Cruxshadows, which I dislike, William started fussing and wouldnt stop til we changed the music :-D
<0> so he's off to a good start with that at least
<2> ok last question
<2> i ran tar and its asking if i wanna extract
<2> i type yes
<2> but i gte nothing
<5> hi, there's a utility that will change the console font and it starts
<5> with a 'g'... does anyone remember what it's called?

<8> Hi Guys.. I've had a problem printing for a few days now - hoping someone can help resolve this.. I have a specific PPD i use to print to a network printer, as within that PPD it has defined a usercode that I have to submit with the print job. When I print in X it's fine, but when i print from CLI using 'lpr file.ps' I see the job sent to the network printer but an error saying invalid user code (it doesnt' appear to be sending the usercode). This
<8> only happens with POSTSCRIPT documents..? Any ideas?
<9> can i link one dir to another but have the file perms for the first dir diffrent from the linked dir?
<9> nm found a better way to do it

<14> can anyone think fo a way to tell what is using so much memory in an apche child process?
<14> i have ones that'll grow to 400-500mb
<15> Alien88: sure use ps
<15> Alien88: if its a child process of apache you should be able to follow the process tree and find large processes that are a child of apache
<14> yeah but i cant tell what is actually *using* it.. like some php thing or something
<16> is there a windowmaker that works on 64 bit platforms?
<17> Alien88: those dirty dirty cgi's can be tricky buggers
<18> I just started working for a company and users are gettin 80-100 spam emails a day. The mail servers are running sendmail, what would you recommend as a good spam filter for sendmail?

<20> hi
<20> anyone know how i send a command to a screen session
<21> Hi all. I need to add something to one of my daemon init scripts (debian/sarge) and not sure how. I need to have one of the scripts loop until /dev/ttysv0 becomes available, it's generated by another program with a slight delay. Any help would be apprecaited.
<21> The init script is just a sh script
<22> use udev
<22> have udev start said app once the node has been created
<21> hrm...
<21> thanks... not sure how to do that, little hint?
<22> check your udev rules in /etc
<22> not sure myself, but its doable
<8> Guys i've been through the cups docs back to front and i can't get my printer to print postscript.. any help appreciated..
<21> How do I "pause" or "wait" inside a shell script?
<23> !wtf abs?
<24> abs is the advanced bash scripting guide a useful doc for learning the bash scripting language at http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html
<25> sleep
<21> I have a looping /etc/init.d/ script, will init (debian/sarge) eventually kill it? It's on a remote machine and it hasn't got to ssh yet so I can't get in.
<22> nope
<22> it wont :)
<21> sum beotch!
<21> Looks like a trip to the datacenter...
<21> Do init.d scripts just run in alphabetical order?
<22> yea
<22> well, numerical, since its numbers first
<21> init.d scripts?
<22> I've gotta go find mir... I deorbited it over africa... cant have the etheopians getting a station
<21> This ****s.
<22> yea
<22> they need to be in the runlevel tho
<21> heh.. did it to myself.. I put the loop in there..
