Comments:
<0> infi the opposite of a stiffy
<1> a 1.44 mb file you run in an emulator
<2> well, then, may I suggest a cock ring
<3> i want to use an old machine to monitor other machines, no hd, just show logtails, top etc :-)
<0> actually floppys are the 1.25MB 5.25 discs
<1> no cdrom in that old machine? otherwise knoppix would be nice
<4> q_w_e : tomsrtbt
<5> live cds are better option l guess or use something like mulinux
<3> can't change knoppix's inir
<3> init
<2> pfred1, actually, they're the 300kb 8" disks, if you want to get technical
<1> yea u can, knoppix is very mallable
<1> if you need to get at the init, look in the initrd
<0> infi the 5.25s were floppy too
<1> there is a file called linuxrc that is the main init file
<2> and indeed so are the 3.5's ;) you just have to open the case
<1> for knoppix that is heavily heavily customized
<0> I still got a few boxes of them lying around
<2> so do I. I have Kings Quest and Space Quest on them
<2> I highly doubt they still work, however
<2> but stranger things have happened
<3> infi: i remember kings quest funny! cga graphics and all
<0> infi well once you open the case on a 3.5 you aren't going to get much more use out of that disk
<3> linuxda: ok will look at custom knoppix
<2> pfred1, nonsense, you put it in another case
<1> there's a guide....
<1> somewhere...
<2> I've had to do data recovery like that for someone before
<2> delicate work
<1> probably even off the main knoppix.net site
<1> tho... what exactly in the init do you need to customize
<1> can't you just add it to the init.d stuff?
<3> linuxda: i want it to boot in text mode, hopefully with multiple heads on it, shell into other machines (using a gpg key as p***word etc) and show top/logtail stuff like that. a general system monitor
<5> gah, behind some kinda wired firewall/proxy...it blocks all the images and ports ....damm no downloads also......hey anyone with a proxy server on port 80 to byp*** this firewall
<3> linuxda: make sense? :-)
<1> at the lilo prompt just do
<2> bug, have you re-imaged your rooted box yet?
<1> knoppix 2
<1> and it'll go into text mode only
<1> knoppix comes with gpg, ssh, and everything else
<3> linuxda: i don't want to ever touch this machine after it's setup, just run a bunch or old crts with it
<0> If the police arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?
<3> or=of
<3> the right to stay silent
<0> Why do they put Braille on the drive through bank machines?
<2> i/gnore pfred1
<3> what if they arrest someone screaming, how can they remain silent if they aren't in that state? to start
<3> hmmm
<2> oh how profound
<3> duh
<3> PhD in duh
<1> its the _right_ to remain silent. they aren't required to
<3> if you have a bit set to 0 and you tell it to remain set to 1 ...
<0> No one is listening until you make a mistake.
<3> (and the bit is going to cop a punch in the head if it talks back :-) )
<3> linuxda: the thing is, i don't really need a whole cds worth of stuff to do this with, and i have a dozen unused fds now :-)
<1> yea, well perhaps tomsrtbt is all you need
<1> that is ..interesting.. to customize
<1> I suggest using qemu to test your customizations
<1> so you don't have to wait for the floppy to load each time
<1> or bochs
<1> that works too
<1> (for the emulator)
<3> ascii art yay!
<3> now all those mac users that laughed at my laptop and said "why does it still have a floppy?" can eat their words muahahaha
<6> omgz no wtf
<6> something in linux has crashed, a reliable program
<6> konqueror
<1> everything crashes sometimes.. I wouldn't look too much into it.
<6> yeah but winblows file browser never crashes, why should linux's?
<3> iKernel: loose ram? ;-)
<7> iKernel, are you serious?
<7> are you talking about explorer?
<7> just to verify....
<1> ever seen the desktop icons flash and re-appear? that's explorer crashing
<6> :) Isn't that nice. Should have more scripts like this. Configure script automatically downloaded dependecy
<8> take out IE and win explorer has been known to fail incredibly
<6> jent: yes and yes
<7> oh man
<6> :(
<6> i know
<6> weird
<7> explorer crashes all the time.....i have had it crash in every version of windows multiple times
<7> well
<7> every version but 3.1
<7> lol
<6> :P
<6> ah meh
<7> and it is always at the worst possible time
<7> almost like it was planned
<7> lol
<1> btw, dependency checking is best done by the package manager, configure is only designed to ensure that the build environment is sane, or tell you how to fix it
<1> you don't want someone's provided script messing with your packages
<6> linuxda: I don't care :D
<1> aye
<6> man... heh
<6> all this stuff
<6> for free
<9> does anyone having any problem in playing wmv files in mplayer...it gives me strange error...i have already installed codecs package
<6> lemme try
<1> what error?
<10> dont mplayer have a 'verbose' option - for more error info
<9> Error opening/initializing the selected video_out(-vo) device
<0> my mplayer tried to play WMV3 files but they're all screwed up
<1> hm thats more like a display problem than a wmv prob
<1> try maybe like
<10> try 'vlc' perhaps.
<1> mplayer -vo x11 file.wmv
<9> ok let me try that too
<0> it plays WMV2 files fine
<11> elo :)
<1> if not try other stuff listed when you do 'mplayer -vo help'
<1> or vlc
<1> yea
<0> without the video optput specified to one i do not normally use
<11> hey redduck666, get the screensaver figured out?
<1> yea I haven't seen it complain about the -vo for a specific file, tho my laptop defaults to -vo 3dfx for some reason...
<10> lol
<0> linuxda because it supports it?
<10> 3dfx :)
<6> hang on
<1> heh no : ) its a sis card
<9> got the issue
<11> voodoo2 in sli!
<4> linuxda : check .mplayer/ and /usr/local/etc/mplayer.conf
<6> it works with wmv here
<1> yea, i fixed it a while back, just found it amusing
<1> do other files playback ok in your mplayer besides wmv without specifying -vo ? if so, weird
<1> also, iirc in order to make mplayer see win32 codecs, they have to be around when you _compile_ mplayer, you can't just drop them in later
<11> you drop em in whenever
<9> its looking codes here /usr/local/lib/win32/wmvdmod.dll where as codes is available in /usr/local/lib/win32/codecs/wmvdmod.dll
<11> it doesnt have to be there before compile...
<6> servercrash: just rename the folder
<6> or something
<1> i think its just the configure enables or disables win32 codec support based on whether or not it see the dir with the win32 codecs. yea I could be wrong
<1> if its installed from a package tho, its probably enabled
<11> you can just change it the config
<0> linuxda you installed mplayer from a package?
<9> looking arround the conf file...to check if i can give the codecs path
<1> yea, debian
<11> he means, apt-get or something similar...
<1> tho its not official
<1> yea
<11> i use xine personally :)
<1> you have to add another apt source
<0> linuxda mplayer is one of them apps that is worth building
<1> agreed, tho the package is optimized
<10> i tend to use vlc
