Oct 09 18:57:21 <Reedy> it is debian
Oct 09 18:57:23 <Reedy> so it just does that
Oct 09 18:59:48 <supajason> its debian
Oct 09 19:00:10 <Reedy> yeah
Oct 09 19:00:14 <Reedy> it just does that
Oct 09 19:00:18 <Reedy> dunno why

Oct 09 19:04:48 <supajason> you know it says: ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t1 -a -h now
Oct 09 19:05:44 <supajason> i want to add a beep to let me know can i add another line:ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/root/beep.sh
Oct 09 19:05:52 <supajason> like that?
Oct 09 19:06:49 <Reedy> supajason, you probably want to take a look at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/reducing-memory.html at some point :)
Oct 09 19:07:16 <Reedy> but i suspect so for the thing before
Oct 09 19:08:42 <supajason> i have removed ipv6 and serial port
Oct 09 19:11:28 <supajason> so what cool things can i do?
Oct 09 19:12:05 <Reedy> such as?
Oct 09 19:12:11 <supajason> i dunno
Oct 09 19:12:28 <supajason> i like the look of usbwebcam
Oct 09 19:12:36 <supajason> might give that a go
Oct 09 19:13:29 <Reedy> as long as your cam is linux supported
Oct 09 19:14:16 <supajason> how would i find out?
Oct 09 19:15:30 <supajason> oh found the link
Oct 09 19:17:59 <supajason> yeah it works
Oct 09 19:20:39 <supajason> oh reading through it looks really hard
Oct 09 19:22:53 <Reedy> shouldnt be IIRC
Oct 09 19:23:24 <supajason> IIRC?
Oct 09 19:23:36 <Reedy> if i remember correctly
Oct 09 19:24:05 <supajason> lol
Oct 09 19:24:58 <supajason> first im going to get it beeping
Oct 09 19:25:07 <supajason> a song lol
Oct 09 19:27:31 <Reedy> you'll have to record it and post it if you get it working :P
Oct 09 19:27:42 <supajason> i will
Oct 09 19:48:54 <supajason> this is so hard
Oct 09 19:58:42 <supajason> does anybody know of a program that i can use to view a midi file
Oct 09 19:58:49 <supajason> not to play it
Oct 09 20:09:18 <ropetin> How about Muse?
Oct 09 20:09:21 <ropetin> http://muse-sequencer.org/
Oct 09 20:11:46 <supajason> thanks i dont have linux :-(
Oct 09 20:12:13 <ropetin> Ahhh, I made an assumption!
Oct 09 20:12:42 <ropetin> Might be a good time to try? ;)
Oct 09 20:12:46 <supajason> lol its ok thanks anyway
Oct 09 20:13:34 <supajason> oh tried many a times but when i comes down to it i just know more about win than linux
Oct 09 20:14:17 <ropetin> To each their own!
Oct 09 21:30:30 <DocMAX> hello
Oct 09 21:30:38 <DocMAX> im using debian os
Oct 09 21:30:43 <DocMAX> debian slug
Oct 09 21:31:15 <Sinclair73de> Hi DocMAX
Oct 09 21:34:38 <DocMAX> i think its a bit slow
Oct 09 21:34:55 <DocMAX> is openwrt and slugos faster?
Oct 09 21:35:15 <Reedy> debian is fairly heavyweight
Oct 09 21:36:17 <DocMAX> yes
Oct 09 21:36:26 <DocMAX> i need some lightweight
Oct 09 21:36:41 <DocMAX> but i want to install my necessary programs...
Oct 09 21:37:00 <DocMAX> what would you recommend?
Oct 09 21:40:42 <DocMAX-HB> shit i disconnected
Oct 09 21:40:48 <DocMAX-HB> anyone answered me?
Oct 09 21:41:01 <Frigolit> nope
Oct 09 21:41:15 <DocMAX-HB> thats good
Oct 09 21:41:16 <Frigolit> i'm running debian, i think it's pretty lightweight
Oct 09 21:41:18 <DocMAX-HB> very nice
Oct 09 21:41:34 <Reedy> its not designed for teh small memory devices really
Oct 09 21:41:37 <DocMAX-HB> im trying to remove unnecessary daemons
Oct 09 21:41:40 <DocMAX-HB> but im not sure
Oct 09 21:41:49 <Frigolit> no the kernel is using a bit too much memory imo
Oct 09 21:41:55 <Frigolit> dunno how much it can be reduced though
Oct 09 21:42:12 <DocMAX-HB> i think ill try openwrt
Oct 09 21:42:23 <DocMAX-HB> can i backup the flash somehow?
Oct 09 21:42:30 <Reedy> yeah
Oct 09 21:42:31 <Reedy> there is a way
Oct 09 21:42:32 <Reedy> errm
Oct 09 21:42:36 <DocMAX-HB> how?
Oct 09 21:42:43 <Frigolit> the linux flashtool can afaik
Oct 09 21:42:43 <Reedy> let me check
Oct 09 21:42:46 <Frigolit> dunno about the windows one
Oct 09 21:43:03 <Reedy> theres a way to put the mtdblocks to a file, basically creating a firmware image
Oct 09 21:43:35 <DocMAX-HB> dd if=mtdblock of=file ?
Oct 09 21:43:35 <Reedy> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/CompletelyBackupTheNSLU2
Oct 09 21:44:02 <Reedy> im sure there was a slightly simplified way (ie just one command) to do this
Oct 09 21:45:09 <DocMAX-HB> thanks...!!!
