<0> now, does your XP partition take up the whole disk?
<1> yes
<0> hrm. You DO have a problem.
<1> :)
<0> Got a second hard drive?
<0> i.e. do you have a D: ?
<1> no
<1> is one partition
<0> so you have one hard disc, with one partition?
<1> yes
<0> how much space do you have left on c: ?
<1> `1o
<1> 10
<0> that... 10GB?
<1> yes free
<0> I know there's a program that resizes a NTFS partition, but it's not free.
<0> as in, it costs money.
<1> which one
<0> I don't know what is free that can resize your NTFS partition
<0> Did you defragment c: ?
<0> And, do you want to KEEP Windows XP ?
<1> no at these time
<0> okay. So you DEFINITELY want to remove Windows XP from your disk?
<1> yes
<0> ah huh. In the program that talks about partitions, you delete the single partition, create a new partition that is 512MB for swap, and create another partition for the Linux to be installed on.
<2> 512 for swap ?, ridiculus
<3> why?
<2> either you dont run bloated software, and you dont need swap, or you run them, and you need at least +2 gig of virtual mem
<2> with the hypothese the box has ~512 meg ram
<3> ...
<2> and bloat = firefox , azureus , and that's all
<2> i'm not right ?
<3> that's not azureus' fault
<3> it's java!
<2> firefox taking 450 meg ram
<2> azureus 130 meg
<3> heh
<3> my azureus takes 400megs
<2> X 1440 virtual
<0> mivecz: how much memory is in your machine?
<1> 512
<3> go with 2gb's of swap space
<0> Then 512 MB for swap will be PLENTY.
<3> usually you need 2xRAM
<0> Znuffy: naah. overkill
<2> i've 1 gig ram , and swap of 1.5 gig, and it's already full
<0> T`aZ: but how much do you run?
<3> T`aZ: btw, linux always CACHES memory.
<0> hell, I rarely have to use swap here, and I've only got 384MB
<2> Znuffy: ...
<2> Viking667: actually , firefox + azureus, that's all
<2> ho and wine also
<3> "free" or something similar won't show you up how much free memory you actually have
<3> erm, who runs wine?
<0> T`aZ: wow. That's bad.
<3> !d4x
<4> [d4x] a download manager for X using gtk/gnome
<2> Viking667: yeah, it's crap :(
<5> when i try to start the ALSA service, it says "ALSA driver isnt's running"
<5> how do i make alsa run?
<0> flush_: what distribution?
<2> so either you have plenty of ram , or you dont have enough at all , depends on the use of the box
<5> mandrake 9.2
<3> wow
<3> that's antique
<5> i no
<0> flush_: do you have alsa modules installed?
<3> you "know"
<5> how do i see it? but i dont see why i wouldnt have them
<0> mivecz: anyhow, what programs do you think you'd want to run?
<1> not various
<1> ok i p***ed the configure of partitions
<1> but i think i must pay more attention next time
<6> tcl.gz it`s an archive or not ?
<0> Good. You have to set the 512MB partition as swap type, and the other partition as /
<0> ^Sorin^`: yes
<5> how do i see if i have the alsa modules insatlled ?
<0> flush_: use "lsmod"
<6> what shouuld i use for it tar xvf?
<1> iget eror:)(
<0> hrm.
<0> I have to depart, as I have to look after two nephews.
<6> what shouuld i use for tcl.gz ! tar xvf?
<5> if i dont see any "alsa" module with lsmod
<0> oh. it's not a tar archive
<5> how do i install it
<3> ^Sorin^`: use your distro's package management. If you need that for an eggdrop, please go away.
<3> Thanks.
<0> flush_: there's lots ofthem with names like snd_stuff...
<5> audigy/sound/soundcore
<3> damn, I got it right ^_^
<0> flush_: here's mine:
<0> snd-seq-dummy snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-via82xx snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm snd-timer snd-page-alloc snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd
<0> You may not have a via82xx, yours may be different - you have to know what your soundchip is.
<0> I have to go.
<7> yes people usually run when Gaia^ arrives
<5> kk
<8> hiyas to u as well
<5> i have no "snd" modules
<5> audigy 71276 1

<3> DSL is pretty
<3> !dsl
<4> rumour has it, dsl is Digital Subscriber Line, the wonder technology the telcos will nevertheless find a way to turn into a con, or better than cable. http://www.dslreports.com, or also see Damn Small Linux, or also also damnsmalllinux.org
<3> !damn small linux
<4> rumour has it, damn small linux is 50MBytes of Penguin Power - a Debian style distribution aimed at low capacity installations. Available at http://damnsmalllinux.org/
<3> I'm setting it up now as a router :-)
<7> big
<1> i join Ubuntu
<1> :)
<3> big?!
<3> _excuse_ me?!
<7> smoothwall is 6mb :)
<3> dude, check what dsl is :>
<3> 50mb's of X, Xpdf, fluxbox, jwm, vnc, rdp, firefox, sylpheed, dillo, text editors, spreadsheat, games
<7> its still big
<7> for a router
<3> not exactly a router
<3> and I still need functionality
<3> don't like router-only thingies as smooth, mono, etc.
<1> man ubuntu have live cd?
<3> if I'd really wanted something small, i'd use coyote linux
<3> mivecz: yes
<3> uhm, I've still got like 8 around here
<3> 8 ubuntus
<1> where i can find it
<3> on their website, if you downloaded it
<1> and when i hve live cd can save to hard disk smthing?
<3> think so
<3> I think I only booted a few times
<9> I need tojoe. :-P
<3> usually I order the printed cd's to hand out to friends
<3> 'lo gcbirzan
<10> hello
<10> could somone help me install some packages tcl-dev and tk-dev
<10> how would i get tehm
<11> anonimux what distro you using and why you wanna run and eggdrop?
<10> ubuntu
<11> probably apt-get install libtcl
<11> i think that the debian stuff still uses lib<package> format
<3> 80% sure he wants an eggdrop ^_^
<11> i'm going for about 95%
<10> i get this error
<10> E: Couldn't find package libtcl
<11> then apt-cache search tcl
<11> and find the proper name of the package
