<0> err, it never asked me what kernel I want to boot again!
<0> What the heck.
<1> foo push down the gas some more
<0> on1009: What do you mean?
<2> "If you have an EIDE drive with a partition that goes above 504MB , your BIOS may not allow you to boot to a Linux installed there."
<1> just kidding
<2> is this still the case today?
<3> Phylo: OLD
<1> normaly not
<3> :p
<4> foo: 3 secs timeout is pretty low to choose something
<5> nah Phylo
<0> jra: Yeah, but I never even see it
<2> so my root partition can be 28 GB right/
<2> ?
<3> yes.
<2> k
<6> herman_munster, what's about creatign a scene?
<7> bsdirl, civil is good. this dude cracked a spaz because his drink order was wrong. then he pushed his drink across the bar at the barman
<6> lolz
<7> which wet me and got me going
<6> you shouldn't alk drinkahol anyway
<5> herman_munster: alcohol tends to make dumb people dumber and smart people drunk
<7> sorry, brb
<0> jra: SWEET. It worked.
<0> woohoo.
<0> Athanks
<2> it says I shouldn't use just 1 huge root partition
<4> what? choosing or booting? ;)
<0> jra: booted the right kernel
<2> why not
<3> Phylo: well it's wrong :(
<3> :)
<4> phew
<5> Phylo, I dont use sqap
<2> lol
<5> swap
<3> Phylo: some people like to seperate /home, /tmp, and /boot for various reasons
<5> if you have enough RAM to install comfortably, youll be ok without swap
<3> bsdirl: like what, 4 gigs?
<2> awesome, 512MB RAM?
<6> bsdirl, I hate to dig up an old thread (not :)), but if you're going to buy a book about any culture, then read the Ramayan/Ramakien b/c it kicks 8 kinds of ***
<5> whats it about hanu?
<3> Phylo: 512 is not nearly enoguh to go without swap
<5> konrad``: I have 256m of ram and i never use swap
<5> cause i dont use bloated*** distros
<3> bsdirl: do you use a wm?
<6> bsdirl, this was an epic story people told before there was D&D to piddle away rainy days
<5> im using 81m of ram right now without swap
<5> yes i do
<5> xfce
<5> im running like 10 apps too
<5> xorg being one of them
<3> I'm using 105 MiB of ram and 88 MiB of swap :)
<5> heh you're running kde arent you?
<5> tsk tsk tsk
<3> bsdirl: no, xfce.
<5> um, whats your distro?
<6> it's about a prince who gets exiled from his kingdom due to the influence of one of the king's consorts, who wanted her son on the throne
<4> 118/248 here with xfce, opera, xchat, some terms, cups, postfix, sshd... the usual stuff
<3> bsdirl: doesn't matter, the ram is eaten by gaim, xchat, and apache, mostly
<5> kinda like Gautama in a way hanumizzle
<5> doesnt matter huh konrad``?
<5> its ubuntu isnt it/!
<5> !!!!
<3> bsdirl: no, it definatly isn't.
<6> then he has a bunch of wicked cool adventures culminating in a battle with the demon king of lan(g)ka
<6> bsdirl, nothing Gautam...he left voluntarily...Rama comes back and inherits the throne, rather than repudiating his role as king
<5> good konrad``
<6> he takes it very seriously actually
<3> bsdirl: lol
<3> bsdirl: xfce ftw
<5> well I know he left voluntarily, just meant the whole nobility thing.
<3> yay :)
<6> besides, in hindu theology, gautam is the ninth avatar of vishnu; rama is the seventh
<5> konrad``, there's a dotpup package *puppy specific* for xfce
<3> bsdirl: I have a gig of ram and a P4, and still run into swap occasionally
<6> but in the thai ramakien, phra ram is actually an incarnation of buddha, so I guess it is like Gautam :)
<3> bsdirl: what's great about puppy?
<3> bsdirl: what is it based off?
<6> konrad``, fast
<3> bsdirl: what sort of package management
<5> not based on anything.
<5> its scratch-built :)
<5> it has .pup packages
<6> stfu n00bz, wmaker pwnz *
<5> kinda like the rpm frontend rpminst
<5> i mean gnorpm used to be
<6> are there dependencies?
<5> .pup packages usually have deps with them
<5> and they're hyper-compressed, it's unique
<2> Quiz: so I boot off the CD, enter no extra parameters, login as root, and enter "cfdisk" to start right?
<6> yes
<5> puppy is a real unique distro
<6> bsdirl, what compression algorithm?
<3> bsdirl: so is lfs, doesn't make it great :)
<3> bsdirl: bz2 or 7z?
<5> trust me, puppy "is" great
<6> I think vector is moving to lzma :)
<5> dunno, all i know is they got xfce down to 1mb binary
<5> which is sick
<2> *Quizno*
<6> -Os?
<6> bsdirl, which binary exactly?
<6> xfwm4?
<5> i have no idea, havent tried it Im using xfce already
<5> xfce4
<6> yeah, which binary is < 1MB
<5> ask someone in #puppylinux
<5> its 4 im pretty sure
<2> Quiznos: I noticed that I never mounted anything.
<8> what's the best way to resolve my domainname?
<8> 'domainname' is unavailable here
<3> yeah, xfce has been at 4 for a while, definatly 4
<4> dnsdomainname?
<3> bsdirl: which CD installs to a hard disk?
<5> heh hanu is trollin in puppy
<4> dnsdomainname --fqdn, even
<5> konrad``, there's a script for that on all ISOs
<2> can somebody step me though the slackware 7 installation?
<6> bsdirl, I'm not trolling...
<5> you're asking how much 'azz it pwns'
<5> that's pseudo-trollish
<5> i stand corrected
<5> neo-trollish.
<4> Phylo: why? you'd have to upgrade immediately after that anyway. slackware 7 is like installing windows 95 on a recent pc.
<2> jra: because 10.0 says it "can't open /dev/hda"
<2> (cfdisk and fdisk say that)
<2> I would love to use 10.0 though
<4> when exactly?
<5> try 10.1!
<2> as soon as a hit enter "cfdisk"
<2> or "fdisk /dev/hda"
<2> I don't have 10.1
<5> hm
<4> ever thought about that it might be /dev/sda or /dev/hde?
<5> use 10.0 then.. stick it out.
<3> bsdirl: does it actually have a 2.6 kernel?
<5> or /dev/hdb
<5> the new puppy does
<5> im using an old hack
<5> a custom version heh
<2> yes, I thought it might, but 7 finds /dev/hda and 10 didn't find /hda, /hdb, /hda1, /hda2, or /sda
<4> Phylo: boot the 10, save 'dmesg' somewhere so you could stuff it in a pastebin... it might inflict a clue or another
<2> what do you mean save 'dmesg"
<4> login as root, type dmesg > dmesg.txt
<2> k... I'm formatting a single Linux native parition with 7 right now
<4> somehow transfer that file to another machine (typing would work too but thats a few thousand character)
