<0> I bet you'd even want to run firefox on top of x :P
<1> Well, i just wanna see it crawling, cuz i couldnt believe it... there is an XP installed, and it crawls too.
<0> Why do people insist on using such limited hardware. Make a nice doorstop out of it
<1> Dont ask me, the guy just bought the lap, and RAM extension doesnt work, so lets do it on 64MB till he find some additional ram ...
<1> <- innocent (as usual)
<0> See, I don't believe much in futile challanges :p
<1> Coma, i suppose your laptop is not a Toshiba-crap :)
<0> c-wolf: Not quite, it's a powerbook
<1> And what is running on it ?
<0> Why, os x of course
<1> Ah! I think about having a look at pentoo linux, it sounds intresting (but sure, not on 64 MB *g*).
<0> Surely you mean gentoo?
<1> Coma, nope, pentoo :)
<0> Some gentoo spin-off then?
<1> Exactly.
<0> Hmm, I've always got my doubts regarding these sort of distros. They're basicly kiddie live cds
<1> But gentoo is neat :)
<0> If you've got too much time on your hands, sure
<2> does debian give out free cds?
<0> Free cd images at most. I think you have them confused with ubuntu
<2> my ubuntu cd is on the way
<2> any other distros give out free cd-roms?
<0> Officially, no. But at various occasions I've seen people hand out free knoppix cds
<2> i will have to keep my eye out then
<2> thanks
<1> Hmm... i could give you a knoppix cd :)
<2> will i have any trouble running ubuntu of a 8GB drive?
<2> off
<1> redfrog : what kind of trouble ?
<2> how big is the install?
<0> redfrog: It might get a little tight if you'd install _everything_, but as long as you avoid that, it shoudl work
<3> Hi peops....Could someone please give me a hand installing a network adapter for Fedora..I am nearly there but ran into trouble last minute ?
<2> ok, thx
<1> redfrog, you can install a linux on 1,3MB or you can install it on 20GB, depeds what you will install, what you goana use, for normal installations 3-4GB seems to be enough.
<2> ok
<3> anyone..plz ?
<1> moto555, what happened?
<3> ....well, was following the instructions on http://www.packetpro.com/~peterson/linux-netgear_wg311t_pci.html
<3> and got down to root@mgmt:~# /sbin/dhcpcd ath0
<3> but there is no dhcpcd is the sbin dir
<3> only dhcp6c, which I am ***uming ipV6
<3> I dont pick up an IP
<1> did you installed dhcp while installing fedora moto555 ?
<3> I'm not sure mate...I just did the typical install
<3> its obviously not there thogh ..so I guess no
<1> moto555 , see if your problem is similar and can be solved with http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Linux_Networking/Q_21749696.html
<3> ok will check it out..thankyou
<3> Just going through the install disks now - would this be the DHCP 'module' ? dhcp-devel-3.0.2-12.i386.rpm
<1> moto555, dont think so, i suppose there is some dhcpd , and thats just a development dhcp version.
<4> Anyone alive?
<5> Nope.
<4> Someone mind /dns www.donwaldinc.com for me?
<6> LadyByte: dns www.donwaldinc.com
<6> LadyByte: nslookup www.donwaldinc.com
<7> www.donwaldinc.com is 38.112.193.84, netbeui
<1> LadyByte: nmap 38.112.193.84
<1> :)
<4> weeeeeeeeeee
<8> hi
<8> is it possible to download only the desktop from gnome in .rpm files?
<0> What exactly does that mean, "only the desktop"?
<8> the "windows"
<0> Oh, you mean the window manager?
<8> yes sorry, i'm not good with linux ...... yet
<1> Pede : What window manager do you actualy have ?
<8> none
<8> not even x11
<8> it's a redhat with nothing on it
<1> What redhat is that Pede? I suggest you get a fedora for the beginning.
<8> i know, but it's not possible
<8> it's already installed and ready (not me who did it)
<0> Doesn't gnome use icewm as window manager?
<1> Afaik. metacity
<0> Oh, or that
<0> Pede: So install metacity
<8> coma, ok, what is it
<0> Metacity? It's gnome's default window manager, e.g. "the windows"
<8> ok, do i need to install x or xfree86 ?
<0> You'll need one version of x and whether that's xfree or x.org is up to yourself
<8> coma, which one is easier to set up?
<0> Pede: Not much of a difference, but if you have a choice, use x.org
<8> ok i'll download it
<0> Pede: If you don't mind me asking, which versino of redhat are you actually using?
<8> 7.2
<0> s/ino/ion/
<1> omg
<0> ICK
<0> Pede: Do you have any idea how fscking OLD that is?
<0> How terribly unmaintained and insecure?
<8> yes i know :(
<8> but it's on an internal network
<0> Don't you think you'd be better off using a distro that's released in _this_ century?
<8> hehe
<8> i'll see
<8> i'll check if it's possible
<0> Why wouldn't it be?
<0> Which idiot put you up with this ancient crap?
<8> because it's a vmware esx
<0> Pede: That's no excuse
<8> really?
<8> but you cannot upgrade the redhat can you?
<0> Wait a minute, you're talking about esx server itself, what goes underneath? Not a virtual machine?
<8> yes exactly
<8> the esx itself
<0> You shouldn't be toying with that in the first place
<0> esx has this one purpuse only and shoudl stick to that
<8> hmmm
<8> dont u think i can put some applications on top of it?
<8> like windows manager
<0> If you want a linux box running x this badly, why not setup another box? Instead of ruining the stability of an esx server?
<8> because i need to access the esx remotely and things
<1> ssh Pede
<8> bad idea?
<0> Pede: Can and should are two different things. Technically you can, but really shouldn't. You want a general pupose distro for that
<8> so what you're saying....... dont touch the esx itself?
<0> Pede: I thought esx was remotely administrable, without having you install X
<8> you can only reboot it basically
<1> Pede, then you didnt explored all possibilities... you can commit every setting you want to.
<8> yes you can, but ........ you cannot access the filesystem on the esx box
<8> which is what i need
<8> for one thing
<0> Yup, as I thought, there's both a remote admin client and you can even manage it via a browser
<0> Pede: That's what ssh is for
<8> i dont know if it comes with ssh, otherwise i need to install that
<0> So, why not check if you can access it by ssh?
<1> Pede , do an nmap localhost , and see if port 22 is open.
<0> Heh, what's wrong with using ssh itself?
<1> Erm... i should slap my enter-button *g*
<4> Anyone know where I can pick up an H&K G36C Compact rifle? :-p
<0> Yeah, in that smelly backalley behind central station
<4> I really doubt you can get one there. lol
<3> \connect almanya
<8> thanks coma and c-wolf for your help
<8> i'll try and use ssh instead
<0> Good choice
<9> hah
<9> nice to see that gun-toking yanks are still prominent here
<9> why is it always those from .us talking about firearms?
<9> is there a link with the fact that 2/3rds of the population is overweight?
<0> lol
<3> why the US bashing ? (just joined)
<9> moto555: guntalk
<8> us is where all new things comes from
<9> always gets me started
<3> oh
<0> Because there's nothing more fun than that?
<10> Pede: you're dellusional if you actually believe that.
