| 16:11.30 | Nalle_ | Anyone awake here? I think I need a bit help with installing bootx |
| 16:12.39 | pahartik | Hello Nalle_ |
| 16:12.52 | Nalle_ | Hi paha |
| 16:13.13 | Nalle_ | Care to share some wisdom? :) |
| 16:13.23 | pahartik | Nalle_: I am at local Linux users' meeting |
| 16:13.35 | Nalle_ | Oh, lots of combined brain power there :) |
| 16:15.32 | Nalle_ | Anyway |
| 16:15.42 | Nalle_ | I got the img from Bor_ed and burned it to CD |
| 16:15.52 | Nalle_ | Now the problem is, the other Mac cannot see the CD |
| 16:16.02 | Nalle_ | It thinks that the CD-drive is empty |
| 16:16.16 | Nalle_ | The CD is in "Mac OS Extended" format though. Shouldn't that be ok for MacOS 8.x ? |
| 16:23.28 | pahartik | Nalle_: Is it original traditional MacOS installer media? |
| 16:23.49 | Nalle_ | Err.. is what an orginal traditional... ? |
| 16:41.14 | pahartik | Nalle_: CD-RW or CD-R may not be detected by CD-ROM drive... Depending of various things |
| 16:41.59 | Nalle_ | Yes and I suspect it is because of the format, but I cannot seem to be able to tell this damned thing into what format I want the CD to be burn to |
| 16:42.36 | Nalle_ | But now sauna time |
| 16:42.49 | Nalle_ | Back to fight with this damned thing after that |
| 16:42.51 | pahartik | Nalle_: Does that CD-ROM drive detect factory-printed audio CD, for example? |
| 18:08.22 | Nalle_ | re |
| 18:08.38 | Nalle_ | Yes, the MacOS 8.5 CD I used to install it is detected just fine |
| 18:16.58 | pahartik | Nalle_: Then that specific CD-ROM drive probably cannot read that specific media... |
| 18:19.21 | Nalle_ | You mean, incompatible with CD-RW discs? |
| 18:19.42 | Nalle_ | I did try to burn it to normal "Mac standard/Joliet" with "Burn". Still no go on visibility on the old Mac :( |
| 18:22.00 | Nalle_ | Grud |
| 18:22.17 | Nalle_ | Doomed attempt then |
| 18:22.18 | pahartik | Nalle_: Use "Netscape 4.5" on that traditional MacOS to fetch image over HTTP within local network? |
| 18:22.55 | Nalle_ | Cool idea BUT the damned Mac has some weird ass network card that doesn't work with the drivers that ship with MacOS 8.5 apparently. |
| 18:23.01 | Nalle_ | That was the first thing I tried :/ |
| 18:23.23 | pahartik | Nalle_: That is how I do it... Oh... |
| 18:23.52 | Nalle_ | Which is something I do not get. Why the f*** would Apple ship a machine with a NIC that doesn't work? |
| 18:23.55 | Nalle_ | Doesn't make any sense |
| 18:24.31 | pahartik | Nalle_: If I need to read random CD media on old PowerMacintosh, I connect external SCSI CD-RW to it... |
| 18:26.26 | Nalle_ | I have no such luxury availanble :( |
| 18:28.17 | pahartik | Nalle_: If you have lots of different CD-RW discs, try to find one that is detected by CD-ROM drive? |
| 18:29.02 | Nalle_ | Sounds ... laborous |
| 18:30.01 | pahartik | Nalle_: One may also mount that filesystem on harddisk with traditional MacOS installed on another workstation for copying |
| 18:30.50 | Nalle_ | Yes.. if one had working network.. |
| 18:30.59 | Nalle_ | Which I do not have |
| 18:31.49 | pahartik | Nalle_: No, remove harddisk and connect it to another workstation... |
| 18:33.41 | Nalle_ | Ah well.. that also is something I cannot do |
| 18:33.49 | Nalle_ | The only other Macs here are this iMac or the iBook |
| 18:34.56 | Nalle_ | Bloody hell |
| 18:37.38 | Nalle_ | So, I am, screwed. |
| 18:38.24 | pahartik | Nalle_: You can use my SCSI CD-RW drive if you come over... |
| 18:39.16 | Nalle_ | Where you at? |
| 18:42.52 | Nalle_ | Maybe I'll just give trhe machine with the CD to co-worker and let this be his headache. Would've wanted to be helpful and got it ready to boot into Linux so he would've just had to install what ever server software he needs. |
| 18:42.53 | Nalle_ | Rah |
| 18:45.45 | Nalle_ | I'll already have to teach him how to perform the "cuda-reset" if needed :) |
| 18:47.18 | pahartik | Nalle_: "WGS84:61.5063,23.680288" |
| 18:56.10 | Nalle_ | Ah, Tampere. A tad long drive :) |
| 18:56.18 | Nalle_ | About 150km |
