<0> ;)
<1> ah, ^Jenn :)
<1> So what do you fancy?
<0> nadda
<2> i had a question, i am running windows on one HDD and gentoo on the other, i was wondering what i need to put in my lilo.conf folder in order to have it boot windows (the windows is on my promary hard drive, gento on second)
<3> I swear what is the world going to be like when they got nanotech cameras the size of flies?
<4> colonoscopys will get a whole lot more pleasant
<3> I mean you do realize that is where we are headed if things keep on the wya they are going today
<3> bad enough they find cameras in bathrooms today
<5> Asimov something like this, afaik
<5> other = /dev/hda1
<5> label = Windows_XP
<5> table = /dev/hda
<3> Asimov use grub for god's sake!
<5> grub is nice
<2> yeah i know
<2> i just want to get it working
<5> it's like a little os for booting your os
<2> for now
<3> Asimov last person i tried to help that was running lilo he didn't have /boot as a seperate partition put a new kernel in there blew his cylinder cap and that was the end of that!
<2> lol so he just had a folder in his root partition that said boot?
<3> directory
<5> pfred1 probably a while ago, or old version of lilo?
<2> yeah
<3> you can do that with grub
<3> not such a good idea with lilo though ...
<2> well i know my windows HDD is hdc
<6> I've done that before. Of course, I don't dual-boot, so......
<2> but like i dont know what to put for it to boot
<3> hdc is a device OSes are on partitions
<3> hdc1 perhaps?
<2> maybe
<3> try fdisk -l /dev/hdc
<2> can do
<3> should spit out all the partitions on the device
<5> you perhaps could have it boot /dev/hdc too.. unless there's no boot loader there or it's too stupid
<3> hdc is usually a CD-ROM drive on a lot of systems
<2> nope
<2> its my ntfs drive
<2> and its hdc1
<3> well you're just weird i suppose
<5> I need to put my dvd writer in a linux computer, it's wasted in windows
<7> Hey, I'm looking for a good tool to monitor bandwidth usage over monthly periods; ntop gets inaccurate when usage goes over 1tb and mrtg doesn't seem to do totals... Any suggestions?
<6> any easy way to determine a filesystem type?
<2> thats wierd
<5> cartesian1984 mount?
<2> df?
<3> Kevin` what if it is not mounted?
<8> hi i've been using firestarter - how would i open a firewall port by hand?
<5> mount it (read only).. that's what knoppix does
<7> cartesian1984: fdisk /dev/hdx, p
<6> flatface, thanks
<7> np
<3> -l
<3> fdisk -l
<7> Ah, didn't know about that.
<5> fdisk for me just shows the partition type.. doesn't say much about it
<3> safer than them fiddling about in fdisk
<5> cfdisk does some scanning iirc
<9> can't you remount things in knoppix to make them r and/or w?
<5> iam8up sure.. I mean that's what it does to detect what filesystems are on a partition
<9> all right - can you tell me how to mount a thumb drive?
<5> for me,
<5> mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/mnt1
<9> ..for usb thumb drives?
<5> or /mnt/sda1, depends on my mood
<9> i thoguht sda was a hard drive
<5> yes, for usb drives
<2> mp3 players
<9> hmm..what's a hard drive then?
<3> sda first scsi device
<5> usb hard drives are the same as most usb storage things
<9> but sda1 is for a usb thumb drive...?
<5> thumb drives, cameras, ipods...
<3> most of that stuff uses the scsi emulation
<9> and if it were a hard drive, you'd use the same command?
<9> oooh, ok
<2> this is wierd, my hdd holds my boot partition, and in lilo i put /dev/hdc1 as the boot=/dev/hdc
<9> can you tell me if linux is able to truly read/write to NTFS?
<5> what's /dev/hda
<5> iam8up well.. yes
<9> sometimes i hear it's impossible, others i hear it works fine, others it works poorly
<7> Read, yes. Write, only with captive.
<9> captive?
<10> hey guys i have an old 500mhz celeron box trying to run knoppix 3.4 and my LCD keeps on spitting out "Out of Range" whenever i try just standard boot.
<10> i've also tried knoppix fb800x600 and also tried knoppix vga=ask
<5> you can write to files with the kernel driver, but you can't change the size (this does have a few interesting uses), but captive can do full read/write using windows drivers
<9> is knoppix capable of using these windows drivers then?
<5> windows drivers belong to windows, knoppix can't distribute them with the cd, but yes
<9> oh..gay...
<5> of course, they are probably on the drive in question, makes getting them trivial
<10> anyone have an idea on what kinda boot options i should be using to get it to work with this old 8MB video card?
<9> so pretty much writing to NTFS with linux is a huge pain in the ***
<2> reiserfs for the win
<5> iam8up it's not the most convinient thing, no
<9> but...ext2 works just fine on windows... *sigh*
<5> boot options?
<9> ****ing windows 98...get bill gates in here
<5> get what to work, X?
<6> I have one other HD related predicament. A fat32 partition writted to my external HD by GNU parted is unreadble on my friends mac, although I have been told they support it
<2> lol
<9> thanks a lot for your help guys
<9> appreciate the answers
<10> Kevin`: whenever it boots the kernel the monitor goes out of range.
<5> are you using a framebuffer driver, if so, I would not
<5> personally I use it but load it manually in my last startup script
<10> Kevin`: i've tried using standard options, w/ and w/o framebugger.
<10> framebuffer*
<5> hm
<5> and it works at the boot loader?
<10> it boots the cd to where it displays the cheat-codes (aka boot options)
<9> kde doesn't like your ****...
<10> lol @ ignorant comment.
<10> i cant even get into X you bugger.
<9> =P
<5> there's an option to the kernel to have it not change the video mode when it starts
<9> lemme rephrase
<9> X doesn't like your ****...
<3> just when you thought you've seen the sickest stuff the net has to offer yo ustumble across a site like this that completely changes everything! http://www.***ytrek.com/
<10> lol
<10> @
<10> n00b
<10> i cant even get the kernel to boot in the proper video mode.
<9> ROFLMFAO pfred1
<5> ***uming your using knoppix derivative, have you tried knoppix-txt (or whatever it is)
<5> unix_infidel i'll look up the option for you
<5> but it will only work for non-framebuffer obviously
<10> whatever as long as i can get to a bash prompt.
<5> vga=0xf04
<10> Kevin`: great, now it wont even boot the kernel.
<11> hello i have been getting port scans coming out of my system for the last couple days. i ran chkrootkit today and it gave me this
<11> Searching for LPD Worm files and dirs... Possible LPD worm installed
<11> im running debian and once had bitlbee instaled but its not there anymore
<11> can somone help?
<6> redphoenix1, chkrootkit gives lots of false positives
<6> redphoenix1, try getting rkhunter
<11> i did and it gave me nothing
<6> hmm
<11> but im getting port scans comming out of my system
<11> quick google search brought me to a ramen worm removal tool
<6> wait, how did you get it?
<11> 1 of the mirrors on the chkrookit site
<12> unix_infidel, that work for you?
<6> redphoenix1, no, I mean the possible sources of the worm
<4> format+reinstall
<11> from chkrootkit i did "make sense" then ./chkrootkit
<10> Kevin`_: yea.
<10> although the monitor is still distroted a bit.
<10> ill have to play around with it.
<3> I really should go back to a dial up i mean i never use my broadband connection for whatever it is one would use a broadband connection for
