<0> maybe I should put together a linux distro
<0> reuben- http://crux.nu/
<0> that's basically linux based on netbsd
<1> it uses pkgsrc?
<1> and the Netbsd initscripts?
<0> it doesn't use pkgsrc
<0> it uses something like pkgsrc
<1> that's a pretty wide definition
<1> freebsd ports is like pkgsrc
<1> gentoo portage is like pkgsrc
<1> they also **** hard :p
<0> <shrug>
<1> source compilation frameworks are useless without binary packages, IMO
<0> it looks like pkgsrc, actually
<0> http://www.fukt.bsnet.se/~per/pkgutils/
<0> I think it might be good to have an option in sysinst to add rc_configures=YES to rc.conf :)
<1> isn't the whole point of that flag to make sure people take a look at rc.conf before declaring a system operational? :p
<0> is it?
<0> TGEN- did microwaving your muffins work?
<1> U tjiyggt ut was
<1> bah
<1> I thought it was the point, yes
<2> hi!
<2> I just installed the hpcsh kernel on my 620lx but is very basic and I don't have the programs that I would like(text editor and compiler), how do i get them?
<3> You don't have vi?
<2> I downloaded some files that contain stuff like the x system, games etc.. how do I install them?
<2> nope
<2> I wish
<3> type vi
<2> I have done, it says vi: not found
<3> ls /usr/bin/vi
<4> dsr: thanks again for the suggestion, etch is much nicer
<3> for the tarballs, untar them from root
<2> I've only got 12 files in there
<2> they are not on my Cf card though
<3> I don't use that port. Maybe reuben can help you
<3> That port is minimal if I recall
<4> i haven't used hpcsh, but vi should be in there somewhere
<2> it is, it's because I'm tired of windows ce and i installed it on my jornada
<2> I don't know, maybe I should try a different kernel
<3> You can cross-compile and install the files if you have disk space
<4> TheProphe: when i first installed on a wince handheld, i did a network install
<4> TheProphe: the last time I did it, I mounted my CF card on an already running NetBSD machine, and did a manual install from a cross-compiled system
<4> TheProphe: NetBSD/hpcmips has been pissing me off lately, so I am abandoning it
<2> reuben: I don't have a card reader so I had to install the files on the card and then run the hpcboot
<2> reuben: have you tried the hpcsh?
<4> TheProphe: no
<2> reuben: it's supposed to be pretty good for old jornada
<2> all i need is a compiler and a text editor
<4> TheProphe: what will you be developing?
<2> what's thesort of equivalent of gcc for netbsd?
<4> netbsd comes with gcc in the base system
<2> that's good
<2> nothing serious
<4> actually, it is in the set called compiler or something like that
<4> comp.tgz?
<2> i have that file too
<2> I just don't know how to get it on my CF card
<4> TheProphe: got a serial port?
<4> smart thing to do would be to fork out the $10 for a USB card reader and install it from a host machine manually
<4> but you could configure ppp and do a network install
<2> i have a serial port yes
<2> with that cebox scripts you mean?
<2> script*
<4> i have no idea what cebox is
<4> you might look into downloading pocket scheme and sticking with wince
<4> your battery will last longer that way
<2> reuben: what's pocket scheme?
<2> found it
<4> it's somewhere at mazama.net
<2> it's for a sort of Lisp programming language?
<2> when I boot it and it asks the type of root file system I want I have wd, sd, md or nfs. I know the last one is network filesystem but what about the others?
<3> md = memory, sd scsi, wd ide
<2> thank you
<0> okay, let's see if I keep getting disconnected
<0> dsr- I went back to madras veggie indian last night
<0> with my better knowledge of veggie food
<5> what you'd do adjust?
<5> i had problems w/ my dsl until i tweaked some stuff
<0> MadScribe- I adjusted my girlfriend's netgear to 802.11g-only
<0> I think the airport tries to renegotiate all the time, or something
<5> ah, it was my entire network that would occasionally vanish
<0> hmm
<5> the people at bellsouth are reasonable till you explain you're using a NetBSD box as a router
<5> which isn't your situation of course
<5> after i spent 20 minutes explaining to Jorge what NetBSD was he was good to go, and i always asked for him when i had issues
<5> the others' brains would self destruct when i mentioned it
<0> ;)
<5> sometimes i lied to the others, sometimes i said "Pretend i have a cayman..."
<6> mspo: it actually did, thanks for the tip
<5> Technician Mind Trick : "This is the operating system you are looking for...."
<6> mspo: though next time I'll make sure to put the heat down
<6> had 175 degC this time for some 17 minutes
<6> clearly too much
<4> MadScribe: when i was a comcast customer, and they said duh?, i would just tell them i was running linux
<4> MadScribe: at that point they said "you don't get tech support then, *plonk*"
<4> MadScribe: so to be a comcast customer, it was necessary to have a clunker PC running windows 9x with my email account settings in outlook
<4> to hook up when calling tech support
<4> debian etch is treating me very well
<5> heh
<5> i'm a business customer so they have to listen
<5> even though it was only small biz
<7> reuben: is there a "mark all development packages" in the debian installer?
