| 04:09:52 | icant | does the ramfs get overwritte at each reboot, or is it just me? |
| 04:12:07 | icant | N |
| 04:15:47 | finalfantasydog | ? |
| 04:15:49 | finalfantasydog | ask jacques |
| 04:40:58 | jacques | icant: ramfs is a RAM FS |
| 04:41:17 | jacques | icant: it's only in RAM, so yes it goes away at every reboot |
| 10:59:53 | cworth | morning all |
| 15:22:21 | izn0g- | 'lo ! |
| 15:23:05 | izn0g- | i've just installed familiar v0.4 |
| 15:23:15 | izn0g- | I guess it's the right channel to chat about it ? |
| 15:23:42 | izn0g- | I've got a linux related question |
| 15:23:57 | izn0g- | my ipaq runs 10.0.1.6 address ( dhcp, airport ) |
| 15:24:06 | izn0g- | my desktop is 10.0.0.1 |
| 15:24:14 | izn0g- | and netmask 10.0.0.255 |
| 15:24:22 | izn0g- | broadcast, ooops |
| 15:24:36 | izn0g- | so that I can't ping my ipaq from my desktop |
| 15:40:12 | edwardam | izn0g-: does the desktop use a wireless card ? |
| 15:42:36 | izn0g- | nope |
| 15:42:46 | izn0g- | the setup is quite complicated: |
| 15:43:10 | izn0g- | on ethernet, there are my linux/pc, an imac and my DSL modem, all on 10.0.0 |
| 15:43:22 | izn0g- | the imac is a software airport base station |
| 15:43:39 | izn0g- | and the linux/pc is the router |
| 15:44:13 | izn0g- | well, the install went fine, btw. the doc is ok |
| 15:44:35 | izn0g- | but there is this last detail: how to join the imac on the wireless network |
| 15:44:59 | izn0g- | I guess it's a matter of fiddling with the netmask/network address, either on the software base station |
| 15:45:03 | izn0g- | or on the linux machine. |
| 16:02:30 | breezy | where can I get prboom? Does anybody have the url? |
| 16:06:26 | vorteX | hi all |
| 22:48:05 | ange | ah, better. |
| 22:48:55 | ange | could somebody tell me if the dual pc card sleeve works with familiar 0.4 yet? |
| 22:49:32 | jacques | ange: nobody here has one to test with |
| 22:49:50 | ange | nor me, actually. the one place in the uk that had one instantly sold out. |
| 22:50:13 | ange | i've got a couple on back-order. |
| 22:51:27 | ange | it's quite hard to get some of the parts in the uk. i forgot that the 3660 didn't come with serial cable... so am waiting for that before i flash familar next week... sigh. |
| 22:51:59 | jacques | you have a 3660? cool |
| 22:52:24 | ange | yup... arrived the morning after i ordered it on-line. lovely toy... runs quake1 real nice ;-) |
| 22:53:25 | jacques | heh, quake runs under linux too |
| 22:53:33 | ange | bought everything i thought i might need. 3660, extra usb cradle, pc sleeve, cf sleeve. forgot about serial ;-)... 2 gold wavelan cards... |
| 22:54:30 | ange | i've got a partition set aside for q2 under linux ;-) |
| 22:54:58 | ange | nice to see the best games work well on my fave os. |
| 22:56:19 | ange | i'm well impressed with the 3660 so far. hate wince3.0, but the hardware is superb. |
| 22:56:38 | ange | nice mp3 player ;-) |
| 22:56:49 | jacques | hardware is excellent |
| 22:56:58 | ange | yup. |
| 22:57:02 | jacques | ive had mine since september |
| 22:57:38 | ange | i've got another on order... another 3660... needed to test connectivity. |
| 22:58:00 | ange | couldn't work out why the yanks had 3670, and we only had 3660. |
| 22:58:11 | jacques | they are the same |
| 22:58:18 | ange | i eventually worked that one out ;-) |
| 22:58:23 | jacques | compaq has played with the model numbers from the beginning |
| 22:58:29 | jacques | 3630 == 3650 |
| 22:58:47 | ange | pity we didn't get the 32mb flash... only the 16 :( |
| 22:59:36 | jacques | yeah, it's just luck |
| 22:59:50 | ange | my palm iii and palm v's are already getting dust. this 3660 is just sooooo much nicer to play with. |
| 23:00:53 | jacques | i could not believe they wanted the same money for the palms, they hardware is not nearly the same |
| 23:01:07 | ange | quite. that dragonball processoer is soooo slow. |
| 23:01:53 | ange | have you tried 'intensive' yet? i'm tempted, but can't work out what extra hardware to get since there is a rumour the new ibm microdrives don't work with the ipaq at the moment. |
| 23:02:37 | jacques | intensive? you mean intimate? |
| 23:02:52 | ange | yup. 1am here... brain fade... i do mean intimate. |
| 23:03:21 | jacques | yep, I am currently helping develop it |
| 23:03:42 | jacques | i got my udrive a long time ago so I don't know about the new ones, but I haven't heard anyone having a problem |
| 23:03:48 | jacques | it may be a CE only problem |
| 23:03:51 | ange | can you suggest good bits to get enough disk space for it? what's the trade off? compact flash vs. microdrive? |
| 23:03:54 | ange | ah. |
| 23:04:47 | jacques | the 1GB udrive is the best deal |
| 23:04:47 | ange | i thought i saw a udrive problem on the compatability thread somewher. |
| 23:04:53 | ange | yes. isn't it nice ;-) |
| 23:06:06 | ange | i thought i saw 2 types of udrive. cf and pc. or is it that you get the cf udrive and some sort of adapter to run it in a pc sleeve? |
| 23:06:25 | ange | sorry for all the questions... i'm a total newbie at this stuff. |
| 23:06:54 | jacques | you can get the udrive with a pcmcia adaptor |
| 23:07:02 | jacques | that's what I use |
| 23:07:12 | jacques | CF sleeve has no batt |
| 23:07:16 | ange | yup. |
| 23:07:21 | ange | i noticed that... much lighter. |
| 23:08:11 | ange | another lithium polymer thingy in the pc sleeve. needed too... i find my wavelan card is a power hog |
| 23:08:14 | jacques | lighter and smaller but the udrive does like to suck power |
| 23:08:36 | ange | ah. |
| 23:09:01 | ange | roll on a sleeve that has 2 pc cards, 1 whopping big battery, and 1 cf hole ;-) |
| 23:09:39 | ange | oh, and a usb keyboard/mouse connector ;-) |
| 23:09:43 | jacques | the dual sleeve has two batts |
| 23:10:11 | ange | yup. |
| 23:11:01 | ange | nice talking to you. thanks for taking time out to help. looking forward to playing with intimate. gotta sleep now. far too late here. |
| 23:11:25 | jacques | ok, later |
