<0> how do i make a swap partition? i wasnt able to make one at installation
<1> guess who finally cloned a retail video dvd
<1> marc_, you can usually re-run cfdisk as root from a terminal window
<0> then make a swap partition?
<1> yup you can make a new partitition and then set it's type to swap, then choose the write option to apply your changes
<0> wont that damage my hdd?
<0> i mean, it mine ruin my os/files.
<1> you need to have reserved space for that of course
<0> i got none.
<0> ehehe.
<0> but, ive done this before.
<1> otherwise I guess you'll need to resize a current partition in order to have unpartitioned space to then create a swap partition on
<0> ive made a partition without making a reserved space
<0> i just forgot how.
<0> any idea how?
<1> huh? not sure what you mean
<0> i mean
<0> how can i resize my partition
<0> and make a partition for swap
<1> i think you're turning a simple situation into a complicated one
<1> resize... what kind of partition are you ytring to resize?
<1> ntfs? fat32?
<0> this one
<1> ext3? reiserfs?
<0> Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

<1> your current linux one?

<1> what a relief.....
<2> I was wondering, is PCI-X the same as PCI Express?
<3> no
<3> quite different.
<2> bronaugh: oh, whats the difference?
<4> -x is old -e is new
<3> PCI-X is basically just normal PCI with more wires so it can be 64-bit, and higher speeds.
<2> bronaugh: what does the X in PCI-X stand for? Extra?
<3> I would guess eXtended
<2> bronaugh: oh, ok... gotcha
<3> it's backwards compatible, to a large extent.
<3> PCI-Express is very different.
<4> its a whole new slot
<3> very low pin count, high data rate, etc.
<3> I think it may be much more serial in nature.
<2> bronaugh: ok, I was just wondering. I was at HP's website reading about some of their newer Alpha servers... One came with 4AGP slots and 'up to' 26 PCI-X slots...just make me wonder a bit
<4> the cards that use it are sure more expensive :)
<3> OptimusPrime: HP doesn't do Alpha.
<3> oh, maybe they do.
<3> gak. I forgot. they ate Compaq, which ate DEC.
<2> bronaugh: I know but they still sell them, or so their website says... probably old/new stock they're still working on
<4> yea they inherited dec alpha when they gobbled up compaq
<3> not really.
<3> it still consumes ****loads of power and doesn't perform worth a damn.
<2> bronaugh: well the newer version actually has a lot of the options and what not of the Alpha EV7 [which is actually faster than the AMD Opteron, mhz for mhz]
<3> yeah, but Opteron's clocked quite a bit higher iirc.
<3> Cancer; it's fun to think about
<2> bronaugh: yea but keep in mind, the EV7 1.3ghz came out sometime in 2001 or so...
<3> yup.
<3> and cost how much? :P
<3> you could buy a Cray in 1980 that would own pretty much any desktop PC today.
<3> but it consumed vast amounts of power and cost way too much.
<3> and would take up your -whole- living room.
<2> bronaugh: a LOT!
<2> bronaugh: not too long ago, I was checkig out a hellofa Alpha Server....that mutha was going for 10grand... I kid you not and they were 'bragging' about how they sold 10 of them that year
<3> hahah
<2> bronaugh: the problem with Alpha's was plain and simple...they charged as much as they possibly could for their systems.. even when it was 'killing' them and they also never bothered to try to do anything in the desktop area... except for a couple of high priced stripped down models
<3> yeah
<5> how do I install my D-Link wireless card?
<6> install it
<7> ngine and how do I make it to work ?
<6> what does dmesg says when you plug it in?
<7> what is dmesg ?
<7> and what should I look for in it?
<7> because I ran it, and ga me a long list of stuff.
<6> why are you using linux if your happy with windows?
<6> try google
<7> ngine because I like linux more.
<7> I just don't know too much stuff about it.
<6> then read and you'll learn
<7> And I'm realy willing to learn
<8> read the man page
<6> you don't want to learn, you want to be spoonfeed.
<8> then look in /usr/docs
<6> i told to check the manufactorers chipset
<6> then google it
<7> ngine, I read that the card can be installed by ndiswrapper or madwifi, but I could not make any of them work
<6> it debian?
<8> and /usr/src/linux/documentation
<7> Yes, Debian
<6> install ndiswrapper and read it's manual
<6> try google, its your friend
<7> ngine I know.
<7> One more question.
<6> then why are you still here?
<7> How do I install the kernel source?
<7> ndiswrapper needs the kernel source to compile it self.
<7> where do I find the kernel source?
<8> isn't it on your install disc?
<6> apt-cache search
<6> will help youi
<8> kernel.org?
<9> somebody said kernel.org was the right place to get the latest kernel sources. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/, or OR http://www.kernel.org
<6> idiot
<6> just apt-get install kernel-source and you'll be fine
<7> ngine I'd like to remind you that I dont have any kind of internet connetion on that computer
<7> I need the kernel source to build my Wi-Fi card's module
<6> you got the disc?
<7> ngine yes
<7> the first 5 disks of Debian
<6> you don't need to build
<7> ngine than how do install it ?
<6> do you know whats ndiswrapper for?
<6> tell me
<7> for loading the Windows drivers for my Wi-Fi card in Linux
<7> becaluse D-Link does not have a driver for the card in Linux
<6> so why do you need to build a driver?
<6> idiot
<7> ngine what should I do ?
<6> go back to windows, you don't even listen to simple instructions
<7> ngine simple instructions like ?
<6> i said read the manual and check google
<7> well, that's what I was doing till now.
<6> man pages didn't help?
<7> man pages for?
<6> you
<6> man pages for you
<6> at the shell, type this "man zephyr46664"
<10> ngine: ndiswrapper itself needs the kernel headers
<7> well, if I'd follow yousimple instructions than I'd get something like this: "No manual entry found for zephyr4664"
<8> hehe
<10> I think he understands that he doesn't need the kernel source to build the win32 driver, sheesh
<7> but there are some times, when you do not have to follow simple instrucons, so now I won't
<6> daave: i don't know, the last time i did was just install ndiswrapper
<6> read the manual
<6> and it works!
<10> you probably already had the kernel source installed
<7> ngine yes, because you probably had the kernel headers
<10> in any event, you did give him the right answer already :p
<6> but not as good compare to its native linux drivers
<10> zephyr46664: apt-cache search for the kernel source/headers packages and install those
<10> it'll be like kernel-headers-2.6.5 or whatever
<6> try "apt-cache search zephyr6664"
<7> and how do I install it?
<7> kernel-headers-2.6.8
<6> man apt-get
<6> or man dpkg
<7> thanks
<10> zephyr46664: make sure that's the right headers package to match your running kernel
