| 11:57.41 | Jenson | Well, as you might remember. I spent like 2 hours discussing it with Leeds last night. Now I've rebooted and it hasn't autoloaded the drivers (which it should have done) so what do i do know. |

| 12:01.42 | Leeds | uh-oh |
| 12:01.43 | dpash | Leeds: indeed |
| 12:02.02 | Jenson | Leeds: Why hasn't the damn soundcard drivers autoloaded themselves after I rebooted? |
| 12:02.02 | dpash | Leeds: is there a file in slack where you can list all the modules to load at boot time? |
| 12:02.26 | Leeds | /etc/rc.d/rc.modules |
| 12:02.36 | dpash | Jenson: there you go |
| 12:02.44 | dpash | put the modules in that file |
| 12:02.50 | Leeds | which you fixed yesterday, didn't you? |
| 12:03.07 | Jenson | Yeah |
| 12:03.11 | Jenson | and it worked yesterday |
| 12:03.41 | Leeds | did you reboot yesterday? |
| 12:03.44 | Jenson | Yeah |
| 12:03.56 | Jenson | I get killed if I dont turn the computer off |
| 12:04.06 | Leeds | and it worked when you rebooted yesterday? |
| 12:04.11 | Jenson | Plus this is dual-boot coz I have Windows obsessed parents |
| 12:04.13 | Jenson | Nope |
| 12:04.16 | Jenson | I hadnt rebooted |
| 12:04.22 | Leeds | right... |
| 12:04.39 | Leeds | so if you do /sbin/lsmod now it's not listed? |
| 12:04.43 | Jenson | I switched the computer off at 5am after the formula 1 lol |
| 12:04.59 | Jenson | No it isnt listed |
| 12:05.33 | Leeds | hmm... I was actually awake then :-( |
| 12:05.56 | Leeds | and if you do "grep emu10k1 /etc/rc.d/rc.modules" what do you get? |
| 12:06.14 | Jenson | #/sbin/modprobe emu10k1 |
| 12:06.15 | Jenson | #/sbin/modprobe emu10k1-gp |
| 12:06.41 | Leeds | hmm... |
| 12:06.56 | Leeds | you're meant to have changed that yesterday when I talked you through the vi commands |
| 12:07.12 | Jenson | lol, I probably did it wrong then |
| 12:07.22 | Jenson | Me and vi don't mix lol |
| 12:07.41 | Leeds | so |
| 12:07.58 | Leeds | do exactly what I tell you - no hesitation, deviation or repetition |

| 12:09.09 | Leeds | Mar 08 20:28:31 <Leeds>then "/emu10k1" and hit return |
| 12:09.09 | Leeds | Mar 08 20:28:41 <Leeds>then hit d, then space |
| 12:09.10 | Leeds | Mar 08 20:28:52 <Leeds>then type ":wq: and hit return |
| 12:09.18 | Leeds | hmm... |
| 12:09.25 | Leeds | okay - there's something wrong there |
| 12:09.50 | Leeds | it should be ":wq" not ":wq: - and you're not typing the "", that's to mark a block of stuff to type |
| 12:10.21 | Jenson | right then |
| 12:10.25 | Jenson | lemme try it again |
| 12:11.21 | Jenson | right done that |

| 12:13.44 | resuDaed | Jenson : you sound card still not working? |
| 12:13.52 | dpash | Leeds: ? |
| 12:13.57 | Jenson | resuDaed: It was...until I rebooted |

| 12:14.24 | dpash | Jenson: is she geeky? |
| 12:14.49 | Jenson | dpash: Nope, she's cute though. I'm gonna attempt to drag her to the next meet |
| 12:14.52 | Leeds | Jenson: if that line is missing from the file, you've done something wrnog |
| 12:15.08 | resuDaed | Beth nearlly killed me ... I spent the night painting warhammers |
| 12:15.49 | dpash | Jenson: maybe you could rub some of your geekyness off on to her ;) |
| 12:15.50 | Jenson | resuDaed: And she wanted you to pay more attention to her I assume |
| 12:15.58 | resuDaed | Jenson : for some reason yes |
| 12:17.35 | resuDaed | does somoeone update WHOIS servers on weekends? |
| 12:17.50 | resuDaed | or do I have to wait till monday for resudaed.com to resolve |
| 12:17.58 | dpash | resuDaed: whois gets updated regularly |
| 12:18.06 | Leeds | twice a day, I think |
| 12:18.23 | resuDaed | dpash : 24-72 hours (I was guessing that the 72 applied for w/ends) |
| 12:18.34 | Leeds | it can take a bit of time for new stuff to come through though - I think changes are quicker |
| 12:18.36 | dpash | nominet is/was daily, but after ebay.co.uk troubles they are going to move to more regularly |
| 12:18.46 | Jenson | Well I gotta go. I'll kill the damn card later |

| 12:20.08 | dpash | Leeds: yeah all it would have taken was a x or two |
| 12:20.20 | dpash | women bah |
| 12:21.02 | Leeds | were my vi instructions *that* hard to follow that she's apparently deleted the whole line? |
| 12:21.18 | dpash | Leeds: dd ? |
| 12:21.26 | dpash | could have done |
| 12:21.55 | Leeds | I assume so :-( |
| 12:22.20 | dpash | which is why I prefer x |
| 12:23.43 | Leeds | I don't think "then hit d, then space" is that hard :-) |
| 12:24.05 | dpash | d whoops I hit it twice |
| 12:25.02 | Leeds | yeah, well |
| 12:25.31 | Leeds | I far prefer to talk people through something rather than just giving them instructions, but I don't think Jenson has the patience... |

| 12:25.49 | dpash | In other words, had IBM not wandered into Linux, SCO's products would still be doing fine in the marketplace. Right. |
| 12:28.03 | dpash | "The speculation that SCO's real goal is to be acquired may have a certain amount of merit." |
| 12:28.14 | dpash | Leeds: why? you work for sun? |

| 12:29.34 | dpash | Leeds: what do you think to this? |
| 12:29.40 | dpash | Leeds: are they trying to get brought? |
| 12:29.51 | Leeds | I would think so, yes |
| 12:30.11 | dpash | I think IBM should just crush them in court |
| 12:30.16 | dpash | and not buy them |
| 12:30.20 | Leeds | I don't know how much it might have to do with it, but there was some *very* bad blood around after the failure of Project Monterey |
| 12:30.40 | dpash | wasn't that NG-Unix |
| 12:30.46 | dpash | what is not AIX5L |
| 12:30.52 | dpash | s/not/now/ |
| 12:31.03 | Leeds | what> |
| 12:31.05 | Leeds | ? |
| 12:31.14 | Leeds | no, not really |
| 12:31.26 | dpash | Unix on ix64 |
| 12:31.51 | Leeds | it was a merging of technology between Unixware (technically SVR5) and AIX (based on SVR3) to create a unified line on PPC, x86 and IA64 |
| 12:33.59 | Leeds | in practice, it was IBM mining SCO's IA64 experience (SCO had Unixware *running* on IA64 before Monterey came about) to port AIX to IA64... |
| 12:44.45 | dpash | SCO is not going to survive for very long after this |

| 13:40.01 | Huhn | I used to have a simple one, but wanted to create my own syntax highlighting.. |
| 13:40.19 | Huhn | and ended up with a discussion with another vim user on a mailinglist.. |
| 13:41.12 | dpash | mine has kinda grown a life of it's own over the last 5 years |
| 13:41.29 | Leeds | 5 years ago I was still using nedit... |
| 13:42.01 | Huhn | I like this one: nmap :W :w or: nmap :Q :q :) |
| 13:42.23 | Leeds | I try not to need that one :-) |
| 13:43.04 | Leeds | I don't have any mappings - partly because I do find myself using Unix vi sometimes |
| 13:43.10 | Huhn | mh, I found a function in the .vimrc of this other girl, I don't understand |
| 13:43.55 | Huhn | can I paste 10 lines into this window and you have a look if you can explain it to me? |

| 13:49.58 | skugg | instead of having the channel #flood etc. |
| 13:50.25 | skugg | i can't remember the url though -- I thought maybe i registered it with ibot. |

| 14:05.19 | highbury | cool |
| 14:05.45 | formi | solaris installed without a problem |
| 14:05.49 | highbury | it came from my old 486 |
| 14:06.00 | highbury | cool+ |
| 14:06.09 | formi | do you know what's the speed of it? |
| 14:06.24 | highbury | 4x ? |
| 14:06.28 | highbury | not sure |
| 14:06.45 | formi | it tooks ages to install 400 megs |
| 14:07.01 | formi | i suppose the hard disk helped as well |
| 14:07.07 | highbury | you can probably look up its model number |
| 14:07.14 | formi | i did |
| 14:07.18 | formi | no luck |
| 14:07.21 | highbury | Solaris can be slow to install |
| 14:07.58 | formi | the only thing I found strange was that in where you select the packages |
| 14:08.11 | formi | it wouldn't allow me to deselect anything |
| 14:08.48 | highbury | hmm, web-style install or other type? |
| 14:09.05 | highbury | there are several look and feels to the install process |
| 14:09.33 | formi | serial install |
| 14:09.34 | highbury | some flakier than others, especially since its 2.7 and not the latest and greatest |
| 14:10.56 | highbury | anyways, it was a slow cd-drive |
| 14:11.04 | highbury | and at least it worked |
| 14:11.08 | formi | well it works |
| 14:11.23 | formi | i used to have a tosh 10x scsi |
| 14:11.47 | formi | really nice piece of hardware until it started malfunctioning |
| 14:12.36 | highbury | I forgot did mine need caddies? Did you have any? well you must of, but do you need more? |
| 14:12.56 | formi | nope |
| 14:13.02 | dpash | there is something I haven't thought of in a long while - caddies |
| 14:13.12 | formi | it just slided on the slot without much ado |
| 14:14.56 | formi | highbury: do you know much about ipv6? |

| 16:52.51 | dpash | Huhn: no it should have 2 "on" |
| 16:53.17 | skugg | dpash, so why isn't it specified? lamb is often one of the choices too, and 'meat' often come in addition... |
| 16:53.30 | skugg | hi pie |
| 16:53.31 | pie | How about 'off' and 'idling'? |
| 16:53.31 | dpash | skugg: not that I've seen |

| 16:56.23 | dpash | pie: how would that be friendly to the dolphins? being chopped up into small tims |
| 16:56.31 | pie | or tuna for that matter |

| 17:31.13 | dpash | not the nail thing though |
| 17:32.24 | Leeds | it also comes with 4 other games... |

| 17:32.48 | resuDaed_ssh | realisticly, what OS would be best on a 486/33, 8MB RAM and a 240MB HDD? |
| 17:32.51 | resuDaed_ssh | slack? |
| 17:33.01 | Leeds | slack would be good... |
| 17:33.04 | Leeds | would you need X? |
| 17:33.23 | resuDaed_ssh | only if it fits with space left (which I very much doubt) |
| 17:33.42 | resuDaed_ssh | I have another 400MB HDD I can chuck in ther actually |
| 17:34.02 | resuDaed_ssh | would 200MB be enough for a root? |
| 17:34.05 | Leeds | you could get X on it, but it would strain to run... would you need a devsys? |
| 17:34.11 | dpash | resuDaed_ssh: rh5 fitted in 83 Mb |
| 17:34.57 | Leeds | problem with recent slack - it *really* wants to install from bootable CD... you can make boot floppies, but I think it needs about 7 of them :-( |
| 17:35.26 | resuDaed_ssh | can it not do a net install? (Ne2k (ISA) NIC) |
| 17:35.30 | dpash | resuDaed_ssh: debian needs 6 floppies and an ethernet |
| 17:35.31 | skugg | debian installs very nicely via the network if you can only boot from floppies... |
| 17:35.43 | dpash | skugg: or ppp |
| 17:35.47 | Leeds | you can do a netinstall with most things... but you need to boot first |
| 17:35.48 | skugg | 6 floppies? since when? |
| 17:36.02 | dpash | skugg: root, rescue and drivers 1-4 |
| 17:36.03 | Leeds | Slack will install over NFS :-) |
| 17:36.15 | dpash | so will debian iirc |
| 17:36.16 | resuDaed_ssh | how many floppies would slack need to get to the stage of installing from network? |
| 17:36.34 | dpash | okay food calls |
| 17:36.43 | skugg | dpash, hm. you might be right. but drivers 1-4 are not always needed though, are they? |
| 17:36.54 | Leeds | resuDaed_ssh: the same 7-ish :-( |
| 17:37.20 | resuDaed_ssh | is there not a distro that can boot from a single floppy, find an ne2000 NIC and go from there (with NFS)? |
| 17:37.43 | Leeds | getting a kernel and enough of a system to netinstall on one floppy is pretty hard |

| 17:43.08 | resuDaed_ssh | in theory, I only need net.i and a root disk for an NFS install don't I? |
| 17:43.12 | Leeds | google Israel is up :-) |
| 17:43.29 | Leeds | google.co.il |
| 17:44.11 | resuDaed_ssh | what is devsys? |
| 17:44.35 | Leeds | development system - gcc, all the headers, stuff like that |
| 17:44.40 | resuDaed_ssh | ah |
| 17:44.42 | Leeds | it's pretty big |
| 17:44.54 | resuDaed_ssh | well, I have 200 + 400 MB now |
| 17:45.42 | Leeds | If you are unable to boot the Slackware installation CD directly, you'll |
| 17:45.42 | Leeds | need create these floppy disks in order to load the installer. In the past, |
| 17:45.42 | Leeds | there's only been one rootdisk floppy called "color.gz", but now there are |
| 17:45.42 | Leeds | 5 floppy images, and you'll need all five of them. The reason for this is |
| 17:45.42 | Leeds | that the size of the installer image after compression has exceeded 1.44MB, |
| 17:45.43 | Leeds | and the kernel can either load a compressed rootdisk image, or an uncompressed |
| 17:45.45 | Leeds | one that spans multiple floppy images. |
| 17:45.56 | Leeds | (From the slack 8.1 rootdisks/README.txt) |
| 17:46.39 | resuDaed_ssh | :-( |
| 17:46.49 | resuDaed_ssh | I only have 1 working floppy |
| 17:46.56 | resuDaed_ssh | and 8MB RAM |
| 17:47.06 | Leeds | use an old slack? |
| 17:47.17 | resuDaed_ssh | maybe I write a lilo floppy to boot the cd? |
| 17:47.57 | Leeds | that's not going to work... |
| 17:48.07 | dpash | isolinux might |
| 17:48.15 | resuDaed_ssh | Leeds : why not? |
| 17:48.30 | dpash | lilo does know how to access a cd |
| 17:48.32 | Leeds | booting CDs is a special thing - needs BIOS support |
| 17:49.15 | Leeds | lilo might be able to boot from CD with BIOS support, but it's very unlikely to work otherwise... |
| 17:49.31 | dpash | Leeds: isolinux should be able to do it |
| 17:50.30 | Leeds | isolinux isn't going to be able to do much if the BIOS doesn't have El Torito support |
| 17:50.46 | dpash | Leeds: put it on a floppy |
| 17:50.51 | dpash | boot from floppy |
| 17:51.13 | Leeds | how does that help? |
| 17:52.02 | dpash | Leeds: because el torito takes a floppy image off the CD and pretends that it is accessing a floppy |
| 17:52.26 | dpash | so if you create a isolinux floppy you are doing what el torito would do anyway |
| 17:52.29 | Leeds | right - I know that |
| 17:52.51 | Leeds | but if the floppy image is bigger than 1.44Mb? |
| 17:53.01 | dpash | but it isn't |
| 17:53.11 | dpash | the kernel is on the cd |
| 17:53.21 | resuDaed_ssh | what if I chuck the hd in another box, copy a minimal install of slack, write the MBR, then put it back in the first box and boot from HDD? |
| 17:53.24 | Leeds | oh, whatever... |
| 17:53.25 | Leeds | maybe |
| 17:53.50 | resuDaed_ssh | ?? |
| 17:53.55 | Leeds | resuDaed_ssh: that would work |
| 17:54.42 | resuDaed_ssh | I have one that uncompresses to around 120MB |
| 17:55.11 | resuDaed_ssh | can I run lilo from another hdd? |
| 17:55.25 | resuDaed_ssh | ie can you specify the destination drive? |
| 17:55.49 | Leeds | yup |
| 17:56.12 | dpash | almost a hole in one |

| 21:37.30 | dpash | Leeds: why? |
| 21:37.32 | Leeds | only because there seems to be a pure-GTK monopd client which I could use... |

| 22:48.53 | Huhn | arghs, owes |
| 22:49.01 | Davilion | i was thinking of a twonkle test, and the plan is to have a csv file with the questions in it, something like ID, TE |
| 22:49.08 | dankolb | Huhn: Yeah, I do. Sorry I couldn't make it to the pub that day |
| 22:49.25 | Davilion | ID, Question, YesPoints, NoPoints. |
| 22:49.27 | resuDaed | ok, rephrased to if I get *the* job (one applied for) then I buy you all a drink, and Jenson a vodka & redbull ;) |
| 22:49.30 | Huhn | dankolb: I'll be back :) |
| 22:49.42 | dankolb | Cool :) |
| 22:49.50 | resuDaed | dankolb : do you have a nameserver? |
| 22:50.01 | dankolb | resuDaed: I do. |
| 22:50.07 | Davilion | and a script which pulls out a random 20 questions and creates a form whihc spits out the question with a yes or no field set to the ID of the question |
| 22:50.11 | dankolb | :) |
| 22:50.21 | Davilion | when you submiut it looks up and grabs the scoring from the csv file. |
| 22:50.23 | dankolb | resuDaed: It's been logged, so you can't back out of it |
| 22:50.26 | Davilion | then gives you a Twonkle Rating. |
| 22:50.40 | dankolb | Good idea. |
| 22:50.41 | resuDaed | dankolb : np |
| 22:50.48 | resuDaed | dankolb : can I use it please? |
| 22:50.52 | dankolb | Sure |
| 22:50.59 | resuDaed | you want to list me then? |
| 22:51.34 | resuDaed | as in for my dns records, I would rather not rely on just no-ips servers |
| 22:51.38 | dankolb | Okay |
| 22:52.46 | resuDaed | ok, resudaed.com & this ip if possible |
| 22:52.55 | dankolb | So I now need to work out how to do backup DNS, then, don't I? |
| 22:53.19 | resuDaed | I don't know :-) I know very little about dns |
| 22:53.42 | resuDaed | all I know is I have 3 nameservers, and the are all owned by the same company |
| 22:53.53 | dankolb | Hm |
| 22:54.16 | dankolb | I take it you have easy access to modify entries there? |
| 22:55.04 | resuDaed | yes, all I need is an ip, and I'll redirect ns0.resudead.com to it so my whois record looks damn good |
| 22:55.08 | dankolb | Jenson: Well done :) |
| 22:55.19 | dankolb | Heh :) |
| 22:55.27 | resuDaed | Jenson : that actually takes some doing? |
| 22:55.47 | Jenson | He thinks I dont wanna meet him, I'm trying to explain that I don't want to meet him 1 on 1...I wanna bring my mate |
| 22:56.12 | Jenson | resuDaed: He's cool, just a little mental |
| 22:56.16 | dankolb | Ah well. Let him think what he wants to think |
| 22:56.36 | resuDaed | dankolb : your nameserver ip? |
| 22:56.38 | Jenson | dankolb: Easy for you to say, he's my mate and I care about him. |
| 22:56.54 | dankolb | resuDaed: Try ns0.eco.li |
| 22:57.21 | dankolb | Jenson: Fair enough. |
| 22:57.40 | dankolb | Yeah. ns0 works |
| 22:59.16 | dankolb | You'd need to set me as a nameserver in the zone file for resudaed.com, though |
| 22:59.45 | resuDaed | ns0.resudaed.com 64.246.28.105 |
| 22:59.54 | dankolb | Eh? |
| 23:00.42 | resuDaed | host ns0.eco.li ; host nso.resudaed.com |
| 23:01.23 | resuDaed | don't worry, I know what I am doing |
| 23:01.40 | resuDaed | just got to wait for whis to update itself now |
| 23:01.59 | dankolb | Yeah, but I'll need to know if I should set myself as a primary or backup name server |
| 23:02.58 | resuDaed | backup |
| 23:03.04 | dankolb | Okay. |
| 23:03.38 | resuDaed | my primary nameserver(s) are ns[123].no-ip.com |
| 23:04.57 | resuDaed | I would like to be running my own nameserver, but theres no point unless I can get hold of a few more ips |
| 23:05.11 | dankolb | There could be point |
| 23:05.27 | resuDaed | such as? |
| 23:05.44 | resuDaed | (I already have 2 nameservers in the states, and now 2 in this country) |

| 23:06.14 | resuDaed | what kind of control are you talking about? |
| 23:06.16 | dankolb | So you'd have full control if you had your own nameserver |

| 23:06.56 | resuDaed | yes, but then if for some reason, my ip changed, then* all* my nameservers would go out of sync |
| 23:07.12 | dankolb | So make sure that your IP address doesn't change |

| 23:07.34 | resuDaed | I can't afford, but I've had this ip for 6 months now |
