<Frazzydee> in the suse 10.1 installation (or in general), do I have to make seperate entries for / and /home or can I just make a partitioning entry for /?
<riznix> ./boot / /usr /tmp /var thats what i usually do,
<Frazzydee> in the default configuration it just has / and /home...in your case how do you know how to split up the different partitions in terms of size?
<riznix> i seperate them fairly evenly, all depends on what your doing
<Frazzydee> do you have to do that or can I just make on partition for / and use data as I go along?
<direkt> is SCO closer to Unix or Linux?
<Frazzydee> I don't want to have to repartition because I used more data in /home than I expected ;)
<riznix> Frazzydee: do as you do then
<Frazzydee> riznix: will it work if I just specify a size for /?
<riznix> doesn't suse have an autopilot?
<Frazzydee> yeah, but it doesn't work...when I resize the windows partition and increase the size of the linux partition, all the linux entries disappear :(
<Frazzydee> so I have to split it up all over again, or just stick with their size suggestions
<riznix> you got two partitions on the same drive?
<riznix> stick with what they suggest
<riznix> how big are the partitions?
<Frazzydee> ...but I want to leave more room for the windows partition
<riznix> if they're partitioned already how can you save space?
<riznix> you'd just leave another partition
<Frazzydee> not partitioned yet- I'm repartitioning now
<Frazzydee> suggested is around 107 GB for windows and 8 for linux
<riznix> then grab a calculator
<Frazzydee> *38 for linux
<riznix> ok
<riznix> well.. neither machines are going to be on at the same time anyway
<riznix> and you can use both machines for the same purpose
<riznix> i gather downloading watching movies, irc, browsing..
<Frazzydee> yes
<riznix> so just hack with the two and don't destroy your data on the windows partition
<riznix> give yourself room to explore
<riznix> an installation of suse 10.1 isn't going to be more than 4GB
<Frazzydee> I'd think 30 GB is enoguh to explore
<riznix> yeah
<Frazzydee> I want to give it 30
<riznix> then give it 30
<Frazzydee> but it doesn't let me resize it to that
<riznix> thats more than my linux boxen together,
<riznix> i use a 15GB and a 3GB
<riznix> firewall and webserver
<riznix> windows is 250+
<Frazzydee> wow, huge :D
<Frazzydee> but how do I resize it to 30...if I use suse's autopilot to resize it it resizes the windows part of it and doesn't create a linux partition\
<riznix> partition magic in windows
<riznix> fdisk or cfdisk from a boot disk either linux or windows
<Frazzydee> but can't I just specify the size of the linux partition again?
<riznix> if u had already done it, im sure you can
<Frazzydee> well, I haven't done it with that setup, but suse does it automatically for a 38GB linux installation
<Frazzydee> the problem is, I don't know how much to give each part- ie. I don't know how big swap, /, and /home should be
<riznix> swap is twice the size of your memory
<riznix> what size is your drive?
<riznix> 38 gb?
<riznix> and what amount of ram do you have?
<Frazzydee> drive is 145 GB total
<Frazzydee> RAM is 1GB IIRC
<riznix> 110 is windows leaving you say 35GB
<riznix> ok
<Frazzydee> actually I'm planning on taking 115 for windows leaving 30 GB for linux
<Frazzydee> if possible :)
<riznix> i've never used a swap space of 2GB, as i dont have that much ram
<riznix> google might be the best bet to get a similar system with a suse install
<riznix> or a suse howto
<cnguyen> anyone using cpanel or plesk in here?
<Frazzydee> well, suse is supposed to resize things automagically for me, it just doesn't :P
<Frazzydee> I guess I'll play around with it a bit more though...thanks :)
<riznix> :)

<andreb> hi all
<andreb> i am installing centos 4.3 on my dell poweredge..but it hangs when it is almost done the "formatting /boot file system" ..
<andreb> can anyone help me ?
<fr3sh> Is there an easy peice of software to configure and setup that lets me burn & rip dvds from the console?
<Idle`> wierd... mrtg says we're using more then 100% of our T1
<Idle`> 1610 up, on a 1.544mbps line...
<bougyman> it's rounding up
<azmo> hello
<azmo> is there a way to control cpu usage for certain users in linux for example if a user runs a program that involve an infinite loop where it creates child proccesses using fork the system will crash
<azmo> any soltuion?
<Idle`> bougyman: 5 minute average tho... and thats ALOT of rounding
<Idle`> it says 205.9 kB/sec
<Idle`> meaning, 1647.2kbps
<Idle`> I think its just doing alot of queueing at the t1 router (as this device is right before that router
<Idle`> or alot of overhead to the router... :)
<IdiotStic> or it's possessed
<Idle`> I'm not all that worried... we're getting an e10
<shield> hello :)
<Xp2> hi
<shield> got a question about package upgrading
<shield> Preparing to replace bin-8.5.0-i386-1 with bin-10.2-i486-2_10.2
<shield> sh: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required by sh)
<shield> Failed to execute command: [/sbin/upgradepkg --reinstall /var/slapt-get/./patches/packages/bin-10.2-i486-2_10.2.tgz]
<shield> i have glibc-2.3.5 installed
<deww> did you upgrade glibc?
<deww> (you shouldn't, wondering if you did)
<shield> i belive i did
<shield> it was glibc-2.3.1
<shield> slack 9.1 on kern 2.4.20
<shield> trying to upgrade to 10.2 and kern 2.6.17
<deww> i think that breaks it to be honest. i only recall people around here saying "DO NOT DO THAT!"
<shield> lol
<shield> is there a way to fix or get aorund?
<deww> i dunno, short of reinstalling
<deww> you can save your /home dir and /root dir
<Idle`> yea, update your package manager
<Idle`> and NEVER upgrade anything like glibc manually, use your package manager, as it will prevent you from doing that unless it tells you
<shield> idle
<shield> i was using slapt-get --upgrade
<Idle`> creepy
<shield> it gives me that error when i try and run it
<shield> after downloading all the new packages
<Idle`> yea, it neglected to update the package manager, which needs an old version of glibc
<shield> well, i downloaded the latest slapt-get
<shield> what am i doing wrong =x
<Idle`> :)
<warjest> well slackware doesn't officially support slapt-get last i knew, so things like that tended to happen
<shield> =\
<shield> hurm
<shield> so i shouldnt upgrade my kernel untill i upgrade the distro yeah?
<Bezerker> shield: yer screwed homey :P
<shield> lol
<shield> sup bez!
<shield> :)
<Bezerker> Not your slackware box. :P
<shield> haha
<jjshoe> re
<shield> how is it messed up
<Bezerker> shield: ironic your box breaks too, when yesterday I was explaining to a friend 2 of my reasons for not using slackware these days :P
<shield> when i do slapt-get --installed it shows glibc2.3.1 installed
<slakjunky> slackware is good
<slakjunky> but its not for nebz
<slakjunky> *newbz
<Bezerker> The lack of a supported package manager was one of my main reasons for disliking it. I loved slack. Even went to install it again, perhaps i was judging a book by its cover, but the installer looked exactly the same as it did in 1995 when i first started learning linux. :P
<jjshoe> Qwell
<slakjunky> and so
<shield> hmm
<Bezerker> Though I can't talk I suppose I use debian, which hasnt gotten much better either. :P
<shield> so what if i used another distro, would i be able to burn it from here, or would i have to just reinstall windows burn it and reinstall
<shield> :P
<shield> or boot loader, and do it over FTP
<shield> lol
<slakjunky> probz with burning?
<shield> i wouldn tknow how to burn on slackware 9.1
<shield> =P
<slakjunky> install cd burning tools
<Qwell> jjshoe
<shield> slakjunky: happen to have a link by chance?
<jjshoe> sec
<Bezerker> sec, retarded client
<jjshoe> AHAHHAHA
<jjshoe> QWELL I HAVE A STORY but i need to record this **** first!
<Qwell> ?
