Comments:
<0> dimes: define large
<1> how much of the xconfig menu should i go through when compiling my kernel?
<2> all of it
<2> that isn't obvious to you?
<3> redduck666: 3gb
<4> What, you don't enjoy missing random drivers?
<1> meh... i figured i would, but i thought maybe there were a section that didn't need me to go through :) (i'm slightly lazy)
<2> lazy == borked kernel
<2> your call
<1> i shant be lazy here.
<2> well there ya go
<1> soo many menus
<5> (rephrase) is there a way to make the kernel re-scan block devices for partitions ? :D
<3> No one with large(multi gb) ram disks? Anyone know maybe a better channel for that kind of question?
<6> bzerodi: partprobe
<6> err nvrmind
<6> dimes what do you need a ramdisk for?
<1> just the networking portion took 15 minutes..
<1> 20*
<7> hmm do any distro's support hi-res from an ATI card? Im on a 20.1" widescreen monitor and it looks really funny at 1024x768
<3> jpwic: I recomend the ati binary drivers from ati, but you will need to make sure you have the kernel headers installed too
<8> what ATI card exactly?
<7> X850XT
<7> its about a year old now I believe
<8> Some of the ATI cards have half-decent free drivers with 3d support. Not sure about models
<7> its funny, Im on the live knoppix right now and KDE opens up, but the Ubuntu live refused to load GNOME
<3> also, just try "vesa" also
<7> yeah Im on Vesa now
<1> in make xconfig, whats the difference between a check and a dot int he checkbox?
<1> (kernel compilation)
<9> dot ->statically compiled in, check -> module, iirc
<1> ok
<1> i'm... not so sure i want to go through this, i dont wanna **** anything up
<9> hehe, it's the only way to learn, you know. :p
<1> yea, but ik *could* do this on a day i'm more awake
<9> I guess it was easier on us in the earlier days. There wasn't so much stuff to get confused by back then.
<3> treach: heh, yeah, no more 30 second configs from scratch
<9> well, it took a bit more than that but it was nowhere near as complex as it is today.
<1> i'm drowning in this
<9> I can understand that.
<10> hi
<10> are any of you partitioning gurus??
<1> partitioning guru? i dont know of anyone calling them a partitioning guru.... but good at doing so? sure
<11> Can dd be used to write to CD-R, Iam afraid of just trying it in case of cd-rom corruption
<1> why not try it? its just a cd
<6> Darwish: no :)
<11> gorpon, what's the problem in it ?
<6> use xcdroast or cdrecord
<10> well, i'd get on the windows help irc if there was one, because ithat's what i need help with, but this makes more sense because i'm using my working suse partition to hopefully fix windows
<6> Darwish: something about the way data and partitions are addressed on cdroms I think
<1> elaustinian: there is a windows chan. i beleive ##windows
<10> but i'm using linux
<1> ok
<10> and i'm looking for linux partitioning tools
<1> fdisk, cfdisk
<9> qparted, fdisk
<10> windows won't start even in safe mode
<9> does it boot?
<10> i can boot to suse
<1> whats the order of the partition?
<10> i'm on the broken machine now
<9> yeah, but does window begin booting?
<1> is it 1) windows 2) linux
<1> ?
<10> umm, the partition is hda1 windows
<1> (windows MUST be able to read any partitions before it, so it cannot be suse, windows)
<10> umm, i think hda3 is suse
<10> hda5 is freebsd
<1> ok
<9> itrebal: actually it's worse than that..
<10> and hda6 is another ntfs partition
<9> windows must be able to write crap to the first part on the first disk.
<12> hi, I have 1 interface eth0, but i need to do bandwith control from my PC's to my router. We are all together on the same switch. I was thinking doing iptables forward, but iptables doesn't support Aliases intefaces (eth0:1..) what can i do?
<10> it has the whole first 60 gb to itself
<6> treach: lol well said :)
<9> :)
<10> oh and the swap partition is hda4
<9> elaustinian: Once more, exacly *what* is your problem?
<10> and hda2 is an extended partition
<9> "Windows doesn't boot" isn't very specific.
<6> treach: https://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2004-June/053677.html
<6> err not treach sorry
<6> moprilo: https://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2004-June/053677.html
<1> what apps are out there for using a modem to make a phone-answering machine?
<10> umm... i tried to free up a little space the other day for windows, delete my not working freebsd partition, and give it to windows
<10> well, it said there was an error
<9> yes, that was what you *did*.
<9> ah.
<10> in deleting the freebsd partition, so i tried nothing more
<1> elaustinian: you tried to give the windows partition the freebsd partition?
<10> now when i try to boot to windows, after only shutting down once, it restarts the comp before windows can boot, and yes, the bsod flashes quickly before it reboots
<9> elaustinian: did you use any particular tool for that, like pqmagic? <curses..>
<10> i tried to delete the freebsd partition, i didn't get to the step where i format the free space and give it to windows
<12> gorpon:thanks!
<1> elaustinian: use fdisk to remove hda1, and then partition it as ntfs, do NOT give the free drive-space into the windows one
<10> partition magic yells at me every time i turn it on, talking about errors, and decides not to run
<1> err... hda5
<10> linux partitioning tools that come with suse can't see past the first three partitions
<9> hmm. disk truncated..?
<1> download Damn Small, and try that
<10> the partitioning tool i used was windows built in partitioning tool, which i think is the root of the p[roblem
<13> now y'all know why i don't mix different OS's on the same hard drive, heh
<10> no, disk wasn't truncated
<9> elaustinian: that partitioning tool that came with suse, was that fdisk? ;-)
<10> i could write to the edge of the drive, just not in linux
<10> the partitioner is YaST2, a suse specific control center
<9> I suspected that. Try with plain fdisk or cfdisk.
<10> wait, when i open it, i can recognize that it is reading an old partition table, from before i partitioned for freebsd
<10> back when i had xandros distro up and running, and nothing on the edge of the disk
<14> quick question, I have a file called helo that is in /media/mmc1. I did 'chmod +x helo' and it's still saying Permission denied when I try to run it
<15> what is the ascii code for ESC?
<13> adj: man ascii
<16> any french speaking user: http://tux.crystalxp.net/index.php?pngid=412 <-- how do I download these images ?
<17> Hi! When booting kernel 2.6.15.5 my computer hang when showing something like: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: ... then some rows with: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009fc00 (usable) .. and so on. Then on the last row, "BIOS-e280: 00000000ffff0000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved)", it hangs! Why? I havent seena anything like this BIOS-provided stuff when booting my old 2.6.8 kernel...
<15> lo_tek: sorry, i should have been more clear. how would i write out the ascii code in a file? its \]033 or something similar
<10> and how do i go about finding fdisk? or rather, what can i type in the terminal?
<9> man fdisk
<10> didn't try that one
<13> not sure, adj, it might be "\099" or something similar
<13> elaustinian, "fdisk -l /dev/hda" or whatever drive you are looking at
<13> the -l option is to list it
<13> must be done as root
<16> quelqu'un ici qui parle francais et anglais ?
<18> hey Dave-az
<18> word up?

<1> -l is actually an L
<10> treach: can you guide me through this? i haven't used this since windows 3.1 was big
<9> elaustinian: fdisk might seem a bit intimidating, but just take it easy and remeber that "m" will bring up the help.
<13> i love fdsik - very simple yet very powerful
<9> yep, but it's a bit scary if you are used to "diskmanager" :)
<10> so how can i view what is on my hd right now?
<10> i hate diskmanager
<9> do you remember that "m" I was talking about?
<18> lol 'm' for 'help'
<18> 'p' for 'print'
<18> 'w' for 'commit'
<19> guys, when redirecting errors... is a looping script... "2> file" enough? or should I add "2>> file"?
<18> I'm sure 'm' made sense at some point... 'man'
<10> i typed it, doesn't tell me much, just some history about the program
<9> "m" is probably for "menu", but whatever.
<18> Renich: you just want errors and not output?
<13> elaustinian, "df" works to help see how your drive currently looks to linux
<9> elaustinian: it should give you a list of options.
<10> oh hey1 i can scroll
<19> well, no... http://pastebin.com/581059
<18> Renich: the first will overwrite the file each time... the second will append...
<19> LoneWlf: in fact, I need to output errors and non-errors to another file
<19> LoneWlf: The idea is to append...
