00:04.25mozratHello ISK lucychili
00:04.56wethrinhi
00:05.43mozratStill up??
00:06.12wethrinUnfortunately
00:07.07mozratWell thats my lot.. nn
00:07.32lucychiligreets mozrat
00:07.42wethrintoo late :)
00:07.54lucychiliindeed
00:08.39lucychili=)
00:11.04lucychiliits funny how quiet this is compared to ml
00:11.17wethrinIt does liven up sometimes
00:11.33lucychilii dont mind but its just a bit diffeerent
00:12.31wethrin:)
00:13.35highburyhi folks
00:13.42lucychiligreets
00:14.02lucychiliyup i do that too
00:15.38wethrinDownload the RPMs, and use rpm -Fvh
00:16.55highburybut that's not the point, and besides is cheating, and not the Suse way, as one ends up in a maze of twisty dependencies, which can only be ignored with --force --nodeps
00:17.40wethrinNo, they should be resolved
00:17.48highburysomebodies gone to all the effort of creating the media.1 file and yast-source directories, and then put no documenattion out, on how to use them
00:18.21highburyI *should* be able to run Yast=>System Update
00:19.21wethrinYes, but they're not in the main updates tree yet
00:19.31highburyare they planned to be, normally they're just left there in /supplementary
00:19.53wethrinNot sure
00:20.00wethrinIt'll be in 9.1
00:20.54highburybut do you see my point, there's no reason not to document how to do it.
00:21.22highburylikewise the people/kraxel tree for 2.6 also has the same files/hooks
00:28.14wethrinI thought there was some documentation
00:29.01highburyThat's I've been trying to ask for :-( #suse wasn't very helpful, as usual too
00:30.04highburyThe closest I've seen, is what Roger put on the list about, autoyast2-utils, but that's not really it
00:30.21wethrinNot sure, then
00:34.58highburybut you'd agree it ought to be documented?
00:35.37wethrinyes
00:39.19highburywhere would I email/phone to ask for details? Its not on SDB yet
00:40.23wethrinPass.

00:46.04wethrinHello 1002
00:49.31Leedshmm?
00:49.41Leedsah, strange
00:50.44wethrinNo, Slackware doesn't appear to map between the usernames and UIDs
00:56.10Leedsargh!
00:57.33wethrin?
00:57.39Leeds"Sorry, your online bacnking service isn't available between midnight and 4am"
00:58.31Leedsit's not quite 5pm here!
00:58.35wethrinheh
00:58.53LeedsLloydsTSB haven't quite got the hang on this Internet/world-wide-web thing
00:59.00lucychilithats when they write down the transactions of the day and pigeone the forms around
00:59.09Leedsexactly
00:59.10wethrinIntarweb!
01:00.15LeedsI'm thinking that maybe I didn't so much get over the jetlag as get tired and not wake up...
01:00.24lucychilione bank i remember had internet banking
01:00.45lucychiliwhere you went to the internet banking page and printed out the form to send them by fax
01:00.53Leedshah
01:00.54lucychili..special
01:02.02Leedswell... when they originally launched online payments (as opposed to just online statements) you could make payments to companies whose details they already had (utilities, credit card companies, local councils and so on) but you had to fill in a form for other people... they've fixed that now
01:02.17lucychilihttp://www.heritage.com.au is a little hick town building society with entirely functional webbanking
01:02.34lucychilioops
01:02.38lucychiliill check the url
01:03.01lucychilihttp://secure.heritageonline.com.au/index.html
01:06.01highburyhmmm "kdebase3 conflicts with kdebase3-SuSE <= 9.0-"
01:06.11Leedsbah, rpms suck
01:08.25highburybring back static linking
01:09.24highburyjust say no! to dynamic libraries, and a lot of problems will disappear, after all we all have larger disks
01:09.30highbury;-)
01:09.48highburywell I'm going to try and get some sleep now. nn
