| 02:26:10 | | i heard busybox was at http://www.busybox.net It compiles with no trouble on a skiff |
| 02:26:10 | theFallen | ibot busybox |
| 02:36:42 | theFallen | What is the latest version of he taskbootsrap? |
| 03:14:49 | | somebody said task-bootstrap was made of many ipkgs. Many of these can be removed after installing if they're not being used. |
| 03:14:49 | theFallen | ibot task-bootstrap |
| 03:15:00 | | theFallen: i'm not following you... |
| 03:15:00 | theFallen | ibot task-bootstrapbig |
| 03:41:39 | bipolar_away | is away: I'm not here... Really.... |

| 12:20:46 | mtb | Thank gawd for mpeg4:) |
| 12:25:59 | sdalu | hello, do you know where i could find the scripts used to generate the familiar distribution |
| 14:35:28 | bipolar | is back (gone 10:53:47) |
| 15:11:23 | Wooble | question: Is there some kind of cron daemon available for familiar? |
| 15:14:55 | banshee | prob, if not sure there's one in the deb arm archive |
| 15:47:01 | Wooble | I've checked on WiKi, and found a dead link |
| 15:48:09 | Wooble | I assume that it can't be that difficult to port a i386 cron to arm, but I've never done it before. |
| 15:48:26 | Wooble | nobody other suggestions, that can replace the functionality of cron? |
| 16:00:07 | sachac | Wooble: We have uschedule.. |
| 16:00:35 | sachac | Wooble: uschedule is supposed to be an at/cron replacement. =) ipkg list | grep uschedule, ipkg install uschedule. |
| 16:01:36 | banshee | hmm, odds of him listening... slim |
| 18:29:13 | mtb | do any of the skiffs have the Motif widget library? |
| 19:07:44 | Disconnect | mtb: try #handhelds.org (but I doubt it, since motif is commercial) |
| 19:24:20 | sachac | lesstif is probably available.. |
| 21:31:00 | bipolar_away | is away: I'm not here... Really.... |
| 22:16:54 | samrolken | I just got my serial sync cable in the mail, and i'm about to install familiar linux! wheee, i'm trembling. |
| 22:16:59 | samrolken | and afraid. |
| 22:19:56 | Kero | got bootblaster? |
| 22:20:11 | samrolken | not yet. |
| 22:20:32 | samrolken | that's what i'm looking for now. |
| 22:20:56 | Kero | okay; you'll be fine. |
| 22:21:10 | Kero | no reason to be afraid :) |
| 22:21:25 | samrolken | if you say so. |
| 22:21:38 | samrolken | i'm installing from my windows 98 laptop to a 3150 ipaq |
| 22:21:50 | Kero | was afraid when he replaced the bootloader for the first time. |
| 22:21:57 | Kero | With osloader.exe... |
| 22:22:15 | Kero | bootblaster allows you to check, so that's a huge advantage you have :) |
| 22:22:33 | samrolken | not if my paltop can't find ftp.familiar.org |
| 22:22:40 | samrolken | laptop i mean |
| 22:23:20 | Kero | IP forwarding on? Or running a proxy on the laptop? |
| 22:23:38 | samrolken | running a proxy on my windows xp system. |
| 22:23:56 | samrolken | laptop connected to it by parallel cable |
| 22:24:21 | Kero | and ipaq to laptop? |
| 22:24:28 | samrolken | yes... |
| 22:24:32 | Kero | the laptop must run a proxy, too |
| 22:24:59 | samrolken | I'm thinking about moving the whole thing to install from my dekstop machine than my old laptop. |
| 22:25:22 | samrolken | brb, let me do that. |
| 22:29:30 | samrolken | this is the first time I have sit at my computer desk in nearly a month, and i'm doing it all for familiar. |
| 22:29:36 | samrolken | i'm recovering from a broken leg... |
| 22:31:14 | Kero | *auch* |
| 22:31:53 | Kero | what happened? |
| 22:32:44 | samrolken | tried to ice skate. |
| 22:32:47 | samrolken | it didn't work too well. |
| 22:34:25 | Kero | is Dutch. No problems with ice skating in this country :) |
| 22:36:22 | samrolken | heh. |
| 22:36:33 | samrolken | well, I don't think I am going to get on ice again any time soon. |
| 22:37:31 | samrolken | ah ha, i finally got ActiveSync to work. |
| 22:42:51 | samrolken | okay, it's just about time for the tricky part... |
| 22:43:09 | samrolken | btw, how usable is linux on the 3150? What is there that I can look forward to /not/ being able to do? |
| 22:45:56 | samrolken | help, i'm already confused. |
| 22:48:51 | samrolken | hey, i need to know something.... |
| 22:49:03 | Kero | ask on #handhelds.org about 3150 |
| 22:49:05 | samrolken | i'm about to save my 16MB ROM from BootBlaster... |
| 22:49:15 | samrolken | will it fit on my device? |
| 22:49:17 | samrolken | in other words... |
| 22:49:21 | samrolken | will my rom fit in my ram? |
| 22:49:54 | Kero | tries to remember how bootblaster saves the ROM, but doesn't know. |
| 22:50:06 | samrolken | ok, well i'll just try it. |
| 23:21:09 | Microdim | Hello, How do you setup a dual boot on Ipaq 3600 series and do you lose any info going from windows to linux then back to windows |
| 23:22:03 | samrolken | i've heard that you have to backup your ram to compactflash between boots, or you lose things |
| 23:25:19 | Microdim | Thats what I thought |
| 23:27:29 | Microdim | samrolken : are you using Linux on your pocket pc? |
| 23:27:51 | samrolken | i'm installing it now\ |
| 23:28:39 | Microdim | Cool I have switched 5 times from windows to Linux |
| 23:30:42 | samrolken | ah. |
