<0> yes
<0> i am
<1> Cougar: if it doesnt you can always reconfig the kernel later while upgrading to 2.6.x
<0> thats one reason why im on the older redhat
<0> it is a smp distro
<2> no i dont think there is an smp option, been ages since i used that old quad Xeon, matter of fact it retired this week
<0> it does probably mean that... since i dont have the experience knowledge or time to reconfig the kernal
<3> Cougar: it's just a kernel configuration, not too hard to update after you are installed
<0> the trick here is that i have to give all the instructions to a guy over irc to do the work... the server is in his posession
<3> Cougar: there is good documentation on how to compile kernel
<0> well i can trythat
<3> the linux howto's are great
<0> but he doesnt have much free time to help
<2> puh 4inches of snow and still falling :/
<3> cougar: well once the system has been rooted, but option is a reinstall
<0> yes
<0> this system has been wiped
<3> and you might as well get something that is more secure
<0> and reinstalled
<0> true
<0> i gotta see if i can find a download
<0> then get to him to burn to a CD for use during install
<0> is debian free?
<3> debian.org
<3> yes it is
<1> Cougar: should be
<1> you can also get it from linuxiso.org
<0> did we decide if it supports smp
<0> ?
<0> oh that sounds like an easy way to get it.
<3> Cougar: they all support smp, you just might need to have him recompile the kernel
<0> ok
<0> and we can learn that from where?
<0> where is the documentation?
<3> look up linux howto's on google
<3> it's been so long since I've hit the howto's I don't have the link memorized anymore
<3> anyone have the howto link?
<0> ok
<2> Cougar business card iso is under 40mb and your friend can do a network install
<4> what distro? a lot of the times you just need to install a smp kernel
<3> zez: you can't just upgrade the kernel?
<0> im on redhat 2.4 smp distro right now
<0> but people here have felt that it would be more secure to reinstall with debian or another newer distro
<4> I guess I came in too late to fully understand the problem
<0> i just want to make sure it supports smp
<5> ok I've figured out why my screen is messed up but I can't figure out why. I have my res set at 1280x1024 in the conf file. That's the only option, but my res is set at 1280x960 instead.
<0> the box got rooted wiped, reinstalled
<3> zez: he's running an older version of redhat that has been rooted
<4> oh
<3> zez: it's old hardware, p200, so we are suggesting debian
<4> if its been rooted, wipe and reinstall (has that been covered?)
<4> lol
<0> yes
<0> wiped with WipeDrive (tm)
<4> good, I'm cought up then
<4> lol
<3> he has re-installed, but we want him with a more secure updated distro
<0> and reinstalled redhat 2.4
<5> any idea why my res wouldn't be what I set it to in the config file?
<3> and it's not redhat 2.4 cougar, 2.4 is the kernel version not the redhat version
<0> if the old hardware + the dual processor will be supported and install and run on a different distro, then i will do that.
<0> oh how do i find the distro info?
<0> somewhere in the etc? maybe the motd
<2> i think its cat /etc/redhat-version
<3> cougar: just go install debian, you should be set lol :D
<4> cowman: do you have the res set to the same screen depth you're using?
<5> I only have entries for 24-bit and the only option in there is for 1280x1024
<0> [cougar@LServer etc]$ find . -name "*version*" -print
<0> none
<5> Xvidtune reports 1280x960, as does KDE
<0> Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)
<0> found it at /etc/redhat-release
<0> is that new or old?
<2> 6 versions old
<5> could it have anything to do with the monitor it's self?
<2> if you count fed 1-4
<5> it will do 1280x1024@60hz
<3> Cougar: redhat doesn't make a regular distro now, they setup Fedora and that has gone through a few revs
<0> oh ok
<5> but could my KVM or my sync settings be causing the nvidia driver or something else to force it to another res?
<0> i hadn't kept up the last few years
<0> most of my linux work was back in the late 90s
<3> cougar: well it's been a few years too since redhat went to fedora lol
<0> oh
<0> i see
<3> cougar: that is why I'm saying use debian, it's setup better for the older hardware and it's nice and skinny
<0> alright
<0> using debian, what do i do to get the kernal to support my dual processor/
<0> ?
<4> just apt-get the smp kernel
<0> find a howto on google?
<5> Cougar, compile a new kernel with smp support or install an smp kernel with apt
<3> cougar: you install what you need, where redhat installs a lot more by default... you will have more growing pains with debian but it should be more secure since you are using a supported version
<0> what is apt?
<4> your new best friend
<3> cougar: go to google, and in the search bar type linux howto??? lol
<0> ok
<3> you can't be that ignorant to not know how to do a search on the internet
<0> i can search the internet
<0> but sometimes i like how people here explain things, direct and to the point.
<3> search for linux howto..
<3> I thought saying search google for linux howto was pretty direct lol, sorry
<4> apt is the tool you use to install programs in debian
<3> ladybyte: apt?
<4> example are apt-get update (updated the sources) apt-get install *package*
<5> could the monitor or something cause the driver to ovveride the resolution settings in XFree86config?
<4> aptitude is a nice console frontend for apt
<6> someone knows how i can cancel a certain pulse tone with audacity
<6> supose it makes a 100ms beep every 200ms
<7> CRAP... lost the USB again. GO WINDOWS
<6> hahaha
<7> sonofabitch. I hope it finished burning the DVD first
<6> cauz you hope, it will PROBABLY not
<1> flush_: just reach over to your speaker, if you have the stand along version, and click the little button
<6>
<1> flush_: is it 'adding' it to the audio file?
<6> no, its removing it from the audio file
<1> flush_: ooooh
<1> flush_: gotcha, thats bad
<6> can i?
<1> flush_: don't think so...
<1> flush_: never heard of a prob like that but Audacity is a little buggy... hell I couldnt' get it to build for nada
<6> damn its a dumb program, cant be told "every X ms, remove X ms"
<0> So Debian 3.0?
<0> best choice? from http://linuxiso.org/
<6> OptimusPrime: me neither, i installed it on win**** ;(
<2> Cougar http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r1/i386/iso-cd/debian-31r1a-i386-businesscard.iso
<2> and do a net install
<0> but then we wont have a local CD to reinstall with
<2> that is your CD burn image
<0> oh thanks
<0> not 7 CDs just one?
<2> or download the full CD1
<2> you only need CD1
<2> or iso1
<0> ok
<0> is this stable?
<0> final release? or beta?
<2> where are you looking ?
<0> http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r1/i386/iso-cd/debian-31r1a-i386-businesscard.iso
<2> thats it 30mb
<2> its stable
<4> as long as it has the driver for your nic you should be set
<0> ok
<0> thanks
<0> we are trying it
<4> I got bored and upgraded ubuntu to dapper and now my sound is really quiet
<4> it it didn't work at all I would understand, but just quiter is weird
<4> and I DID check the mixer levels
<1> zez: sounds like a driver issue
