| 20:09.10 | Wampyre | Hello! |
| 20:14.16 | pahartik | Hello Wampyre |
| 20:14.31 | Wampyre | Hey! how ya doin? |
| 20:19.28 | Bor_Ed | don't vampires fly during nights only? |
| 20:20.06 | Wampyre | It's 22H19 where I am... |
| 20:20.12 | Wampyre | I'd call that night :p |
| 20:20.22 | pahartik | Wampyre: My PowerMacintosh 9600 server is doing well |
| 20:20.24 | Bor_Ed | mid europe? |
| 20:21.59 | Wampyre | Southern Africa |
| 20:22.10 | Bor_Ed | ahh |
| 20:22.21 | Wampyre | pahartik, glad to hear that! |
| 20:22.36 | Wampyre | confused as to why you volunteered that information though... |

| 20:27.05 | Wampyre | When y'all say PPC, y'all mean PowerPC, not PocketPC? |
| 20:27.21 | Bor_Ed | powerpc |
| 20:27.27 | Wampyre | :( |
| 20:27.33 | Wampyre | I need linux on my pocketpc |
| 20:27.44 | Bor_Ed | which pocketpc is that? |
| 20:28.23 | Wampyre | desperately, its running MS PocketPC 4 :( They didn't even call it Windows mobile back then. |
| 20:28.29 | Wampyre | It's a symbot ppt 8800 |
| 20:28.32 | Wampyre | *symbol |
| 20:28.46 | Bor_Ed | hmm, try www.handhelds.org , that's unfamiliar for me |
| 20:31.07 | Wampyre | It's arm based... looks like that might be my best option... |
| 20:32.08 | Bor_Ed | familiar at handhelds.org site might just work on it |
| 20:33.02 | Wampyre | How does the installation actually occur? |
| 20:33.20 | Wampyre | Does it replace the M$ OS completely, or does it need that to boot? |
| 20:33.48 | Bor_Ed | it's documented on the site... usually just extract to CF card and that's it or replace MS completely with new bootloader and system image |
| 20:34.05 | Wampyre | This one don't have cf card :( |
| 20:34.31 | Bor_Ed | then it's #2 choice |
| 20:34.58 | Wampyre | And if I (for whatever reason) need to go back to M$, its a matter of doing a hard reset? |
| 20:35.22 | Bor_Ed | no, replace the linux and bootloader with original backups |
| 20:35.49 | Wampyre | So a hard reset then would reset it back to linux original? |
| 20:36.57 | Bor_Ed | no, you'd need to reinstall MS bootloader and image |
| 20:38.14 | Wampyre | Yeah, that's if I wanted MS back on it, but if once I have linux on, and I perform a hard reset, then it will take it back to the point where linux was first installed> |
| 20:38.34 | Bor_Ed | more or less |
| 20:38.48 | Wampyre | Kewl |
| 20:38.53 | Bor_Ed | not really this channels topic but as it's quiet, it's allowable |
| 20:39.08 | Wampyre | hehe, is there a more appropriate channel? |
| 20:39.29 | Bor_Ed | I'd guess #handhelds either in here or in irc.oftc.net |
| 20:39.51 | Wampyre | kewl beans! |
| 20:40.00 | Wampyre | Thanks for the advice man, appreciate it staxx |
| 20:40.18 | Bor_Ed | no problemo |
| 20:41.35 | Bor_Ed | btw, my pocketpc device is running MS pocketpc 2.11, haven't had time to put netbsd in to it yet, linux support doesn't exist for that model |
| 20:42.20 | Wampyre | aww, that blows! |
| 20:42.25 | Bor_Ed | yup |
| 20:42.39 | Bor_Ed | that's mostly decoration anyway so no that much of a rush to get it running |
| 20:42.48 | Wampyre | What processor does it have? |
| 20:43.02 | Bor_Ed | mips, 41xx series |
| 20:43.31 | Wampyre | ok, never heard of it :p |
| 20:43.40 | Bor_Ed | it's an old compaq ipaq |
| 20:43.44 | Wampyre | I'm quite new to the pocket pc game. |
| 20:43.54 | Wampyre | I have the symbol, which is just a toy |
| 20:44.16 | Bor_Ed | I've got belco alpha-400 mips minilaptop as a toy |
| 20:44.30 | Wampyre | and a Samsung SGH-i780, which is my work phone. |
| 20:44.53 | Wampyre | Can't TOUCH the OS on that, they'd probably do worse things to me than were seen by the spanish inquisition. |
| 20:44.56 | Wampyre | But its SUCH a nice machine, and its SO tempting to fiddle |
| 20:45.01 | Bor_Ed | I just have lowsy nokia as work phone |
| 20:45.11 | Wampyre | Which model? |
| 20:45.31 | Bor_Ed | 5200 or 6200 or so... push-up flap mode |
| 20:46.00 | Wampyre | Ah, ok. |
| 20:46.09 | Wampyre | I had the N70 before the samsung. |
| 20:46.13 | Wampyre | I HATED that phone. |
| 20:46.35 | Wampyre | I threw it one day, it hit the kitchen counter, bounced, hit the ceiling and then the floor. |
| 20:46.57 | Wampyre | And after that, they actually repaired it for me, under warranty :p |

| 20:49.15 | Wampyre | I'm not sure which packages to select now. The hardware listed there all look like ipaq... |
| 20:50.02 | Bor_Ed | if you can google for the specs of the hardware it might have ipaq package which is compatible |
| 20:52.26 | Wampyre | hmmm, ok, makes sense, |
| 20:52.40 | Wampyre | But not now, I'm WAY too tired, likely to take a shortcut, and mess SOMETHING up :p |
| 20:53.11 | Wampyre | Ciao 4 now mate, thanks for the help. |
