<0> nothing i try works
<1> Rupesh where is your linux partition? windows should be /dev/hda1 linux is /dev/hda2 or hda3?
<0> shields: i'm useless
<0> i dont even know
<0> shields_: rescue me!
<0> spare from this insanity
<1> Rupesh it will come to you in a dream! it took me days to get linux installed -- relax and do some reading and web searching on linux rescue disks and FC
<2> hi, i have a box, what goes first? my iptables rules or my ip route policies?
<2> i mean, what aplies first?
<3> umm i am trying to install a program on linux... and i dont want to get beat down with stupidity for asking... but it wants me to run ./configure first... but i am not sure how to go about this
<3> do i do it in the terminal?
<4> shifty_28: yes... what program and what distribution though?
<5> is there an option that stops "adduser" from asking the Full name, etc questions?
<3> its amsn
<3> v 0.95
<4> shifty_28: and distribution?
<3> slackware
<4> aha.
<3> whats that?
<4> shifty_28: well, yes, on a terminal
<3> ok... lol
<4> why do newbies continually drift to slackware? :()
<4> :( even
<3> no i am confused about where to go... do i need to cd to something else?
<3> well.. its just the smallest one i could find
<4> shifty_28: you need to learn the basics.
<3> i know... you dont know how many times i have installed linux
<3> but i am young and dont want to sit here learning unix commands and stuff
<4> then linux isn't for you
<4> at least, slackware isn't for you
<3> it will be eventually
<4> *shrug*
<4> If you can't be bothered to learn about it, then no it won't
<3> i mean as i get older i will have to become more involved with it
<3> all i want is to know how to get msn on there... and then i'll me more involved... my day revolves around msn
<6> <3> but i am young and dont want to sit here learning unix commands and stuff<----just use win if ure lazy
<3> and when i am constantly pulled to another computer for msn i cant stay on linux
<4> shifty_28: well, on slackware, getting MSN involves learning how to get MSN.
<7> shifty_28: you're young. you've got plenty of time.
<4> This is an unfortunate fact of life.
<6> shifty_28 what distro r u using?
<7> when you're young, the mind is sharp, and it's easy to learn.
<3> true
<7> so start learning.
<3> errr... i pick things up here and there...
<7> if you don't start learning now you'll be just another dumb old man.
<3> right now in school i am working in a computer repair field going to a state competition actually
<6> bronaugh yeah ure rite man
<7> young people are bright, but old people have experience.
<3> thats wise
<7> by learning now, you're keeping up with the old folks :P
<3> lol...
<3> na i am catching up maybe
<3> not keeping up
<7> something like that.
<7> ho hum, last database dump time.
<4> I've met a lot of old ****wits
<4> err, fsckwits
<3> lol... i need help installing this guys
<6> like me...im new too in linux
<6> for 1 yr now
<3> i guess i could say i am new to windows... it has something new found out about it everyday
<8> how can I put the default mouse setings on slack ? ... couse i reinstall it and i didn`t put the default PS/2 mouse
<6> shifty_28 what distro
<7> shifty_28: I'd really recommend something other than slackware, based on experiences of others.
<7> I haven't ever tried it myself; so I can't say anything personally about it.
<3> i know i should... but its what i have now...
<3> and the others are more than 2 disks lol
<7> how long would it take you to burn a 40M CD?
<7> (burn and download ISO image)
<9> 3 seconds
<3> 40?
<9> atleast on my computer
<9> :D
<3> what connection you have?
<7> shifty_28: yeah, net install CD
<7> where I am now, about 10MBit; but it's congested.
<3> oh
<7> at home, probably about 4MBit, and relatively uncongested.
<7> (and it's also 512kbit up)
<3> oh
<7> whereas conn I'm on here has no caps other than the ninety meters of cat5 between me and the switch.. grr.
<5> how do you encode something to crypt from the command line/
<3> well... i downloaded this program... amsn... i need help installing it :P
<7> shifty_28: there isn't a slackware package?
<7> Chris_Tucker: aka crypt() call?
<5> oh hey bronaugh long time no see
<5> dunno what crypt() call is but i need to encrypt a word.. with a one line script or something
<3> i already downloaded the package
<8> where can I modif my mouse model ? i want to put the ps2 conf
<3> and uncompressed it
<7> yess..
<7> down goes the windows web server.
<10> shifty_28: you should already have gaim installed
<1> Samuray` mouse settings for X? you conld run xorgconfig or xf86config or xorgcfg or xf86cfg
<8> my mouse don`t work neighter in console mode
<3> kodon: well i dont... i have another one but msn wont work because they updated their servers
<10> bronaugh: slackware is fine...i wouldn't recommend it for this kid though
<8> I only want to change my model of mouse ... when i instaled slackware i mistake my mouse ... and i put Microsoft mose 3 button ,,, i want to select another ... how can i do that ?
<1> Samuray` for console type man gpm, you need to put in the startup /etc/rd.d maybe rc.local
<7> oh, wow. computers down. now I can hear the rain on the roof.
<11> lmao
<11> ya got rocket engines for the fan?
<7> 7 fans in the server.
<11> i got that too
<7> and none in my laptop.
<12> do i *have* to reboot after i recompile a kernel?
<7> if you want the kernel to run, yes.
<12> hehe, it seemed like last time it was just more magical than that
<12> :)
<12> thank you
<8> thanq shields_
<5> bronaugh, how would i do this call crypt() you mentioned a while ago?
<7> it's a call to the C library.
<5> hmm
<7> it's a wee bit tricky to get a properly crypt()'d p***word out, since I think the data gets frob'd
<7> and there's a salt.
<5> blagh
<7> jesus F christ. no wonder this data is copying slowly.
<7> 10% done, 100,000 files copied.
<7> uhh... yeah.
<7> maybe I'd better format with dir_index turned on.
<5> ok ive managed to work away from crypt and use des.. but in a bash script how do i make the output of one command a string that can be used in another command?
<7> `ls`
<5> oh right those `` things ..
<5> probably my last question to pesker you with.. how do you use variables that were p***ed on to the app.. like ./myscript blah1 blah2 .. how would i use the text bits blah1 and blah2 in my commands?
<7> $@ for the whole list iirc, $1 for the 1st, $2 for the 2nd etc.
<5> dunno why i was thinking it was %1 %2...
<5> thanks a lot bronaugh
<7> because that's DOS batch file syntax.
<5> AHH !!! BURN ME AT THE STAKE!
<5> ive never written a dos batch file though.. only dreaded VB.. and never took any input commands
<7> ahh, good ole seek storm.
<7> nothing like a seek storm to liven up an evening.
<7> I'll probably kill this drive by copying data off it.
<13> wait for it...
<14> /kick phosphers no
<13> *ahem* bitch
<13> it'd be nice if that stupid bot would tell you what it's detecting
<15> detecting?
<7> which stupid bot? we have several.
<15> this lame-*** bot bronaugh doesn't even have trivia.
<15> wtf.
<13> fiona, it keeps kicking me
<7> danq: Is it larger than a breadbox?
<15> haha
<4> fiona is a goddamn bitch
<7> ahh, old computer crap. the whine of dying HD bearings, the clunking of heads moving too far.
<7> the grind of unoiled fans.
<7> the rattles and retries of the CDROM drives.
