| 09:19.26 | skilz | Hey guys |
| 09:19.53 | skilz | Hey guys im in a bit of a pickle... I have a eMac which have Debian Linux on it, I am trying to install OS X Tiger on it but there is no volume to select to install to (guessing OS X can't read the linux partition) How Im guessing I have to put the debian cd back in and do what? |
| 09:20.03 | skilz | I think maybe I need to reformat to HFS+??? |
| 09:20.18 | skilz | or just have no partitions.. how? |
| 10:12.38 | pahartik | skilz: Create partitions for "MacOS X" with "Disk Utility" on installer media, leave free space for installing "Debian GNU/Linux" on, create partitions on free space outside partitions on "Debian installer" |
| 11:32.34 | skilz | Okay thanks |

| 14:26.40 | dougmencken | with circlish mice |

| 14:30.08 | skilz | Haven't touched it in years though |
| 14:30.16 | skilz | better check if it still works |
| 14:30.19 | dougmencken | oh, you're lucky |
| 14:30.40 | dougmencken | I bet it runs 6.0.7 |
| 14:30.48 | skilz | Do you have any VAX or Alpha hardware? I would swap for that! |
| 14:31.06 | skilz | I am studying OpenVMS |
| 14:31.13 | dougmencken | I have SPARC, but won't give it up :) |
| 14:31.19 | skilz | ok |
| 14:31.31 | dougmencken | what's VAX? |
| 14:31.43 | dougmencken | Alpha is a cool RISC arch, I know, but VAX? |
| 14:31.54 | skilz | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAX |
| 14:32.04 | dougmencken | uh, of course |
| 14:32.31 | skilz | Virtual Address eXtention |
| 14:33.21 | dougmencken | uh, that's really rare |
| 14:33.22 | skilz | big ass systems with tape drives |
| 14:33.30 | skilz | chew power |
| 14:34.09 | dougmencken | that's really for my dad maybe :) |
| 14:34.16 | skilz | haha |
| 14:34.20 | dougmencken | and will occupy a *huge* space |
| 14:34.26 | skilz | Yes |
| 14:34.32 | skilz | very noisy |
| 14:35.05 | skilz | You can get a free VMS shell to play around with at ssh newuser@gein.vistech.net |
| 14:35.21 | dougmencken | the MicroVAX looks really micro :) |
| 14:35.27 | skilz | yeah haha |
| 14:35.41 | dougmencken | skilz: uh, shell access? |

| 14:36.30 | skilz | newuser |
| 14:36.31 | skilz | I think |
| 14:36.53 | dougmencken | to the Deathrow user creation tool o_O |

| 14:39.05 | dougmencken | isn't is sh? something different? |
| 14:39.23 | skilz | sh? |
| 14:39.53 | dougmencken | unix shell, /bin/sh |
| 14:39.54 | skilz | DCL is the VMS shell |
| 14:40.14 | skilz | like Linux = /bin/bash |
