| 00:00.29 | mirak | I was wondering, is it possible to install linux on an iPod ? |
| 00:00.40 | mirak | is that ppc ? |
| 00:00.48 | simonrvn | no idea. |
| 00:00.51 | petemc | i dont think it is |
| 00:01.02 | petemc | but to some degree, you can install linux on an ipod |
| 00:01.13 | simonrvn | seems to me it's an arm proc or such |
| 00:01.46 | mirak | arm seems to be in a lot of machines, but it's not a popular name |
| 00:01.56 | mirak | for the ears |
| 00:02.11 | mirak | for the public |
| 00:02.27 | petemc | i think they sell more processors than anyone else |
| 00:02.36 | simonrvn | i know of ARM, and StrongARM. they're big endian i think |
| 00:02.42 | petemc | a friend of mine started working there recently |
| 00:03.00 | mirak | simonrvn what's big endian ? |
| 00:03.44 | simonrvn | network byte order, where the big end is counted first. like western people count numbers |
| 00:03.45 | mirak | I can't believe that using fat |
| 00:04.02 | simonrvn | yeh, ipod is a fat fs |
| 00:04.08 | petemc | or hfs |
| 00:04.13 | mirak | fat32 is the best alternative for multibooting two system that are not windows |
| 00:04.39 | mirak | that's the follow up the previous sentence |
| 00:04.48 | mirak | I pressed enter by error |
| 00:05.43 | mirak | hfsplus support on linux seems not really ok. At least I got a problem right now |
| 00:12.15 | mirak | http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22658 I see on this thread I am not the only one to have this problem |
| 00:12.20 | mirak | apple sucked on this one |
| 00:12.33 | mirak | they are not even able to give a reliable FS |
| 00:12.44 | mirak | or reliable tools |
| 00:15.02 | simonrvn | nope |

| 00:37.00 | randyg | is there any way to make firefox ignore the length limit on text boxes, so I don't need to keep editing urls by hand when I want to send longer strings? |
| 00:39.21 | randyg | (any way other than downloading the source and waiting a week for it to compile, of course) |

| 00:39.41 | simonrvn | dunno |
| 00:40.26 | randyg | ebay keeps lowering the maximum search length, and now half my saved searches are longer than the limit on their textboxes... |
| 00:40.47 | randyg | it's only a limit on the textbox, the actual limit their code handles is much longer |
| 00:41.26 | simonrvn | fuck |

| 00:43.27 | Joersch | hello all |
| 00:43.41 | Joersch | need some help with an oldworldmac installation |
| 00:44.52 | Joersch | BootX (1.1.3) starts the linux.bin kernel.... but it interrupts because VFS cant find a suitable root device... but i thought the installation should start... ? |
| 00:45.42 | randyg | I really wish ebay allowed regexs for searches... |
| 00:48.29 | randyg | brb |
| 01:01.45 | simonrvn | Joersch: bootx' text box is just like quik's or yaboot's conf append=. it's the kernel command line, so any option you put there will get passed to the kernel. so say, you set root=/dev/foo it'll read that as the root device to boot from |
