Feb 26 03:52:54 Reflash, boot to flash, mount external drive, copy modules, reboot? Feb 26 03:53:05 That's what I do for my Gentoo Slug Feb 26 05:13:57 Joshin you still there Feb 26 05:14:38 joshin: u there? Feb 26 05:15:08 guess not Feb 26 05:15:21 anyoen using gentoos lug :) Feb 26 05:16:25 * omp will be as soon as he gets a slug. :P **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Feb 26 11:27:20 2007 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Feb 26 11:31:17 2007 Feb 26 11:34:29 mika_ :) Feb 26 14:13:21 ~botsnack Feb 26 14:13:22 thanks, mwester Feb 27 01:00:55 hi can someone tell me how hide a directory to other user except one ? Feb 27 01:29:17 * joshin wants to change the topic to: nslu2-general channel - for general discussion of NSLU2 firmware. Please consult wiki ( http://www.nslu2-linux.org ) for FAQs. Try ##linux for general linux questions Feb 27 01:35:56 joshin, Is there a way to use multiple virtual consoles through SSH in the installer? Feb 27 01:36:17 joshin, Which is to say, if I've got the installer running in window #1, could I get a shell in another window, and if so, how? Feb 27 01:36:31 theblue: yes but only if you paypal me $1 Feb 27 01:36:47 Otherwise you will get sued by SCO Feb 27 01:36:54 and make AlGore cry. Feb 27 01:36:59 joshin, How about I send you a Sun E420r instead? Feb 27 01:37:04 You cover shipping. Feb 27 01:37:18 I wouldn't mind an old sun... Feb 27 01:37:30 * joshin still misses his 3/60 Feb 27 01:37:31 Thank you, that'll be $400. Feb 27 01:37:35 ! Feb 27 01:37:38 An HP 3/60? Feb 27 01:37:58 The RISC machine? Feb 27 01:38:06 sun 3/60 (motorola 68020 or was it 68030) Feb 27 01:38:13 Hang on for a moment.... Feb 27 01:38:19 I can google it too. Feb 27 01:39:01 Ah, nevermind. Feb 27 01:39:03 Was a neat machine. Feb 27 01:39:11 I've got an HP 712/60, a RISC machine that runs some variant of HP-UX. Feb 27 01:40:10 :) Feb 27 01:40:13 Neat toys. Feb 27 01:40:36 You can have the 712/60 for $25 if you're interested. Feb 27 01:40:39 I've got no use for it. Feb 27 01:41:28 A quick google search shows that the HP can run nextstep Feb 27 01:41:36 * mwester worked on a Sun 2/50 -- which means he's pretty much older than dirt. Feb 27 01:41:58 mwester: maybe a hair (or lack of hair) older than me Feb 27 01:44:46 HP 712/60 == 56.711 VAX MIPS NSLU2 @266 == 197 VAX MIPS Feb 27 01:44:53 NSLU2 @266 == 197 VAX MIPS Feb 27 01:45:02 The slug is almost 4x faster... Feb 27 01:46:14 That's just amusing Feb 27 01:47:31 In 1995 the 712/60 was $2474 list price Feb 27 01:48:04 Heheh. Feb 27 01:48:29 The 2/50 maxed out at 4MBytes RAM. :) Feb 27 01:48:38 But it ran UNIX. Feb 27 01:48:49 BSD even if I remember correctly. Feb 27 01:49:12 joshin: The KIM-1 was brand-new when I entered college -- still have that micro in the basement (I wonder if it still powers up?) Feb 27 01:49:26 Yeah, SunOS was BSD Feb 27 01:50:19 Ok. mwester you're 13 years older than me... I didn't get to college until 1989 Feb 27 01:50:52 The oldest Unix machine I ever owned was an AT&T 3b1 Feb 27 01:51:42 I like my slug so much better. :) Feb 27 02:00:04 mwester, The KIM-1??? Feb 27 02:00:10 mwester, That certainly dates you... Feb 27 02:00:37 :-D Yep. Feb 27 02:03:48 But to be precise, I think the actual year it was announced was still my final year in HS, and since I went to HS in Canada, I started college as a sophomore -- so probably only 11 years older than joshin. Feb 27 02:03:59 * joshin is 35 Feb 27 02:04:33 Yep. Feb 27 02:04:38 bbiab Feb 27 02:18:06 Anyone here built a 2.6.18-4 image with npe? Feb 27 02:29:02 Not for a while. I've been running SlugOS head (currently 2.6.20) Feb 27 02:35:58 Is SlugOS the same as debian-slug? Feb 27 02:42:32 joshin, Seriously, how do I use seperate consoles via ssh? Feb 27 02:42:47 ie. Window #1 is tty1, Window #2 is tty2, etc. Feb 27 02:42:55 Or can I just use Ctrl-Alt-F*? Feb 27 02:48:11 theblue: I don't understand the question? How is that any different than just opening multiple ssh connections to the slug? Feb 27 02:48:45 joshin, I'm trying to get to a bash shell during installation. Feb 27 02:49:05 And if I'm using the installer in one window, how do I get to a bash shell (to install another key) in another? Feb 27 02:49:14 theblue: if you want that then you're going to need to install a serial port on your slug Feb 27 02:49:21 joshin, Oh damnit. Feb 27 02:49:31 joshin, So what happens if I use the Debian installer RC1 now? Feb 27 02:49:38 The image with the microcode, of course. Feb 27 02:49:53 Will it just not give me an installer, or will it not be able to download the packages Feb 27 02:49:58 To flash the new OS to your slug, you can install upslug2 Feb 27 02:50:06 I can do that. Feb 27 02:50:40 And I still have no clue about Debian anything. I'm a Gentoo weirdo. I used Debian/Ubuntu for around 2 months after getting tired of Slackware and before I found Gentoo. Feb 27 02:51:01 I know... Feb 27 02:51:32 Did you go through the various docs at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/HomePage? Feb 27 02:51:35 Mostly. Feb 27 02:53:28 You could boot to flash, format your disk & copy whatever files you need to it, chroot to it and configure things, exit the chroot, and then use turnup to have your slug boot from your disk Feb 27 02:54:00 That's pretty much how I do my Gentoo installs. Feb 27 02:54:49 I also modify the linuxrc (the file that turnup modifies) to do a e2fsck on my harddrive (or thumbdrive depending on which slug it is). Feb 27 02:56:49 Does that make sense or am I answering the wrong question? Feb 27 02:56:54 Wrong question, nevermind. Feb 27 02:57:02 But don't worry about it, I'll do trial and error. Feb 27 02:57:10 Sorry. Feb 27 02:59:09 God, the stock Linksys firmware is HORRIBLE! Feb 27 02:59:19 I never booted it up. Feb 27 02:59:28 I'm doing it to reflash in a few. Feb 27 02:59:35 Since I want to set the network configuration predictably. Feb 27 02:59:53 But Lord, I can see why people made alternative firmware. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Feb 27 02:59:56 2007
