<0> pinkerton: so, tell us why you love blockbuster so much
<0> I think most of the blockbuster stores around here have closed
<0> may be one of three left
<1> HeppyCat: I refuse to get foxtel... $50 a month for maybe 8 channels I'd use...and all of them have commercial advertising on them... I have a $29.95 per month dvd unlimited account, I can pop over to the dvd store and get as many dvd's as I want
<2> sweet
<2> d00d just called me back about a house to rent
<2> at one point, i thought about getting mini satellite tv for movie channels
<2> and building a box to record them
<1> I'm not sure how that'd work
<2> have to have a schedule updater
<1> meh, mythtv can record the little bit of tv I enjoy watching then I can watch it at my leisure...
<2> and an ir controller
<2> to change channels on the sat box
<1> atm: I've got 8 channels of foxtel from the motel next door (c:
<2> but it would end up being too much a month
<2> sweet
<1> so it's going nuts on showtime, nick, discovery and tv1
<2> heh heh
<1> but once I move (a months time) I'll just make it record House & numbers
<2> i just started doing this thing with a guy at work
<1> I'm comming home tonight to put a new 120 gig hdd in it
<1> I'm not moving to far so I'm considering leaving a mythtv box at the motel, then wirelessly connecting to it with a client
<2> he buys the blanks, i rip & recode dvds to burn him a backup copy
<2> and i make myself a copy
<2> he's got about 100 horror/action/scifi movies
<1> I've found with dvd unlimited, it's just as easy to go re-rent them
<1> might look at teh ripping and teh burning again now that I have a dual core system... it just wasn't worth the time before
<2> haha
<2> ive got a seperate box for doing the dvds on
<2> takes about 1.5hrs to rip, recode, and burn on disk
<2> i really really need more tam
<2> ram rather
<2> its only got 256mb :(
<1> yeh, that's about the same for my xp2600
<2> its a dual 1ghz p3
<1> now that I have an a64x2 4200 it might be faster
<2> with rambus ram :(
<1> doesn't sound like it takes much advantage of the dual
<1> the re-encoding software I 'used to use' (I wonder where I put that) loves multi-cores
<2> its running winders
<2> proc usage stays maxed out on both
<1> you mean... windows has maxed out both trying to manage both
<2> that box is dying for some more ram though
<2> heh thats possible too
<1> http://www.elx.com.au/cat/hardware/ram <- they have rambus (c:
<2> guess you looked at the prices before you pasted the link
<1> yep (c;
<1> rofl
<1> even after ****ting her self 3 times, she comes back to investigate this scary bag
<1> atm she's parked her *** on the farest corner of the bed locked in a staring match
<1> oh I wish I'd set up the video camera
<2> laates
<3> Hi lenoz.
<2> yay its go home time
<2> laates
<4> hi , firts time i install gentoo linux . and its ok but i would like to know , what i need to d to have a graphic interface
<4> someone can help me
<0> emerge xorg and some window manager
<4> ok , and thats it
<0> you might want to look at the handbook
<0> and have some time on your hands, they are long compiles
<1> I will never understand how hard common sense is..
<1> Our admin system runs multipul isps, and each isp can have agents...
<1> now... WHY... if the account is under the airweb isp would you set the agent to be airweb? it should be none
<4> ok, thank you
<0> Freman: common sense is not common at all, it's a rare thing
<1> admittedly, it's my fault... I didn't lock the field down enough for them not to be stupid
<5> how can I print an image with gimp2? there is no print option...
<1> hehe... // Removed caching of agents list due to the list having to be seperated into seperate isp's - had to do this to fix stupidity
<6> Pop.
<7> goes the weasel
<8> hmmmm.... anyone done this mysql <4.0.25 upgrade to >4.1 ? i understand all the steps mentioned at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-upgrading.xml but i'm working on a remote server, and don't wanna do it unless it's fairly reliable....
<9> hello, is there a way to install 3 oses in one hardisk? win98, xp and linux. thanks!
<5> yes
<5> but I don't see why you would want to install win98...
<9> my kid brother plays virtual game station there..
<9> does swap need to be on a primary partition? how about linux root?
<5> easy, 4 partition set, install win98 on first, install winxp on second, install linux on third and swap on a forth one
<9> but i need another data partition (fat32) that will be accessible to all oses. how?
<9> thanks
<5> win98 will install it's boot loader, winxp will take over the 98 boot loader and add it to it's own boot loader... so up to now you will be able to boot xp or 98. install linux and add the winxp boot to it, so you will have linux or microsoft, then 98 or xp
<9> ah...
<5> you can set another partition, or reuse the win98 partition for the data
<8> why not make ALL partitions available to ALL os's ... .make win98 fat32, make xp fat32 ('cos its better than ntfs), and use ext2ifs driver for windows to access the ext2/3 partitions of linux
<9> thanks A****aka
<9> so win98 and xp should be on their own primary partitions, i'll make an extended partition to house linux root and swap. and another for data.
<8> pretty sure linux still likes its root on a primary. .... if I'm not mistaken, with a little bit of screwing around you can have linux swap INSIDE a regular file on EITHER the root partition OR a fat partition.....
<3> Doesn't even take a little bit.
<3> It's easy.
<8> WOOHOO !
<3> Just dd up a file the size you want, add the file to fstab, and add loop to the fstab options.
<6> i had a sandwich in my head
<9> theBear: is there disadvantages of having the swap on a file rather than on a partition?
<9> s/is/are
<3> I'm doing it on my desktop, since I didn't want to have to partition my raid array.
<3> I've got my /usr/portage in a file, too.
<8> nocti, err... ask zaei ... i only heard of it a few months ago and thought, its about time, thats kinda cool.... but i can't see why it would be MUCH better/worse... obviously its not fixed in one area of the disk anymore, but that shouldn't be a HUGE problem....
<1> don't suppose anyone knows how to bind keyboard shortcuts under kde?
<8> zaei, just a straight image or compressed/coded somehow ? (/usr/portage that is)
<3> theBear: Just a 1G file with a reiser fs on it, mounted over loopback.
<9> theBear: i've heard of swapping to a file and sharing to that swap win win32 but i'm not that enamored with the idea. thanks.
<3> I wanted my main filesystem on ext3, but that's too slow for emerge --sync.
<8> nocti, yeah... the sharing with win thing is kinda dodgy last i checked..... but a seperate file should be o.k
<9> s/win/with/
<8> zaei, you reckon ?
<9> theBear: thanks
<3> theBear: I don't think I've hit swap yet =>
<3> But it initializes fine, so I figure it's probably fine.
<9> on the gentoo installation guide, it requires that a boot partition be created, can i not do this?
<3> I do know that the /usr/portage one works like a charm.
<8> nocti, yeah.... you can not do that, you just gotta remember to change a couple of things, like (hd0,0)/kernelname in grub will become something like (hd0,2)/boot/kernelname (in your example) etc etc...
<9> theBear: thanks guys, sorry for the trouble :)
<8> thats why we're here
<3> It's kind of sad that I can spot discrepancies in the Hogwarts School Rules between books.
<8> its VERY sad
<3> But...
<9> are gentoo packages just good ol' tarballs? reason is i've got a pc not connected to the net and i'm wondering how to update it
<3> I can.
<3> =<
<8> gentoo distfiles are just good old tarballs.... first you wanna get a fresh/synced portage tree on your machine, then emerge -pv --fetchonly whatever (world for example) and you should get a list of the files you need to download.... then put them in /usr/portage/distfiles and run the emerge again with fetchonly or p and your done
<6> Well i fully intend to be an utter burden and piss myself.
<8> hehehe
<10> Why did gentoo drop stage1 installs?
<5> crc: afaik, they didn't
<5> they just put the instruction in a separate doc
<10> hmm the handbook is trying to trick me into installing a stage3.
<10> Got a link for the stage 3?
<8> just search around the mirror... usually its the same name as stage 1 but with a 3 in it
<11> hey, what would cause lines to flicker through your screen on every keystroke?
<11> it's like a little distortion wave that goes from bottom to top (i think) really quick
<11> i did some upgrades and stuff, and i'm not sure what all got upgraded/installed...
<8> hmm.... some kind of interrupt/timing problem.. .usb keyboard ?
<11> i didn't reboot for a long time and i just had to reboot it today and for some reason i'm having this problem now and it's driving me mad
<11> no, ps2
<11> seems to be keeping time fine atm...
<11> although in the past i have had problems with it losing ticks and slowing down after a couple of days
<8> hmmmm....
<8> only in X or everywhere ?
<11> i think it might be a kern config problem or something
<11> i don't think it does it in console, hold on lemme doublecheck
<11> as far as i can tell, just x
<10> so can I just follow the instructions in this guide substituteing a stage1 tarball for a stage3 or are the instructions different
<8> hmmm.... maybe its a wierd graphics driver option ?
<10> thats really odd. I wonder why the handbook is dicourageing stage1.
<10> Is anyone still useing stage1 installs?
<3> Takes too damn long.
<3> It's 12-24 times faster to do a stage3 than a stage1.
<10> It worked fine for me.
