[16:54]<fyr2fn>derek_: the net installer can do an x-less install without internet
[16:54]<rjgyg>derek_: disk 1 may be best for you
[16:54]<nafylsnz>is /media _needed_ by something in debian or can I mount my own partition to it?
[16:54]<fyr2fn>derek_: the business iso cant
[16:54]<rjgyg>or the d-i
[16:54]<dfjscjv>OK, I found the solution, thanks
[16:55]<mnznc_>Ronin: How big is the disk 1? (full disk?)
[16:55]<mnznc_>problem is my internet is quite slow
[16:58]<scenwe>derek_: Usual CD size. There exists CD vendors, from which you can buy a CD.
[16:59]<fyr2fn>d-i is ~160MB iirc
[17:00]<mnznc_>oh cool
[17:00]<fyr2fn>iso1 is 700
[17:00]<mnznc_>erm. what do you mean :)
[17:00]<mnznc_>d-i means disk 1?
[17:00]<vxyrrpysx>Eclipser: you can't just create a new mount point and then mount your partition there?
[17:00]<fyr2fn>the net installer, which will give you base, but no x, is ~160. disk 1 has x and gnome and kde. is 700
[17:00]<nafylsnz>thingfish, I would but I'm terrible at figuring out a new name for it
[17:01]<trffu_>I'm trying to have irssi run on reboot. What I did was, I put this in my crontab as the user: @reboot ./home/juuso/irssionreboot and then made a file called irssionreboot, gave u+x and the contents of thta file is screen -d -m irssi
[17:01]<trffu_>for some reason it isnt starting it though
[17:02]<scenwe>Tallu_: You haven't specified the interpreter. You should put something like ``#!/bin/sh'' in the first line of the file.
[17:02]<trffu_>ah, got it, thanks
[17:02]<nafylsnz>has there been some problems with nvidia-kernel module in sid because there doesn't seem to be a package for 2.6.17 kernel (only 2.6.15 and .16)?
[17:02]<mnznc_>I don't want gnome/kde. (But I will need to run Gimp, Inkscape, Blender3d. What would they require?)
[17:02]<trffu_>#!/bin/sh
[17:02]<trffu_>screen -d -m irssi
[17:02]<trffu_>so this would do the trick?
[17:02]<scenwe>Tallu_: Yes.
[17:03]<trffu_>do I need the ./ on crontab?
[17:03]<trffu_>I suppose I do. :)
[17:03]<scenwe>No, you don't. Your user's crontab is executed from your user's homedir.
[17:03]<nafylsnz>derek_, you need libgnome and libgtk and whatever libraries they require, you don't need the whole desktop environment
[17:04]<mnznc_>Eclipser: cool
[17:04]<scenwe>You could suffice with ``./irssionreeboot''. In fact, ./home/juuso/irssionreboot should be wrong.
[17:04]<trffu_>skrewz: okay, thanks. :) I'll fix that and then give her a try
[17:05]<mnznc_>I need pppd
[17:06]<xru2rf>hola
[17:07]<mnznc_>and bluez
[17:08]<mnznc_>Will the net-install be able to detect a USB drive?
[17:08]<mnznc_>pendrive
[17:08]<scenwe>derek_: Yes.
[17:09]<mnznc_>k. And in what form should I carry the Bluez and ppp installers? .deb? or the tar.gz?
[17:10]<scenwe>derek_: You should pick them up from the mirrors themselves. Somewhere in the pool-dir, the .deb should be found.
[17:10]<trffu_>skrewz: ok it works now, thanks a lot
[17:11]<scenwe>Tallu_: Np.
[17:12]<mnznc_>skrewz: okay
[17:13]<jfmslzzcd>'giorno
[17:17]<mnznc_>I will need to do this: http://www.mobguru.com/Linux+GPRS+Bluetooth.htm ..over bluetooth
[17:18]<nafylsnz>interesting
[17:19]<mnznc_>(Airtel is the service provider)
[17:19]<nafylsnz>my box didn't come with lspci :>
[17:19]<nafylsnz>which package has it :o
[17:20]<mnznc_>Eclipser: that's how I am connected to the internet at the moment, but on windows. Bluetooth stack: Bluesoleil. It's easy to connect using it.
[17:20]<mvs>!info pciutils sarge
[17:20]<mlcr>pciutils: (Linux PCI Utilities), section admin, is optional. Version: 1:2.1.11-15 (sarge), Packaged size: 140 kB, Installed size: 492 kB
[17:20]<nafylsnz>that's better
[17:25]<mnznc_>"Check and Install pppd , irda-utils and bluez libraries and rfcomm kernel patch if needed." ..what is 'rfcomm kernel patch' ?
[17:27]<svnw>derek_: what does "uname -r" say?
[17:30]<mnznc_>stew: I'm on windows at the moment.
[17:30]<svnw>derek_: do you know what kernel version you are running?
[17:30]<svnw>derek_: are you nytr8?
[17:30]<mnznc_>stew: I haven't installed linux yet.
[17:31]<svnw>derek_: you don't need the rfcomm patch in debian, all of the current debian kernels have rfcomm support already
[17:32]<mnznc_>OK
[17:34]<mg9>I was wondering what my DSP:/dev/soundcard would be
[17:35]<afygvsgnv>hey all, cast a real nice helper :)
[17:36]<mg9>Does anyone have an idea on how to find out what my DSP:/dev/soundcard would be?
[17:37]<znsjfvn>well, i wonder what the channel will turn back into with the return of xah
[17:37]<2fjgmyn>dn4: what?
[17:37]<mg9>blondie, I am trying to find out what the soundcard is under dev
[17:38]<zgmzny>does anyone know who the webmaster(s) for Debian.org are and how to contact them other than by emailing to webmaster@debian.org?
[17:38]<rsr>andrei: you can use bugs.debian.org to file bugs against the website pages if there is some error
[17:39]<nufnw>dn4, it's /dev/dsp for oss. for alsa you usually don't have to specify a device.
[17:39]<zgmzny>asg: nope. I want to offer the webmaster to add a page to his/her website
[17:39]<svnw>andrei: you can file a bug against the "www.debian.org" virtual package, or send an email to http://lists.debian.org/debian-www
[17:39]<zgmzny>stew: as said to asg - I need to talk to him/her/them
[17:39]<rsr>andrei: in Debian offering help is often done by filing bugs
[17:40]<zgmzny>asg: how is that?
[17:40]<mg9>Eulex, how can I check ?
[17:40]<rsr>andrei: if they are interested, they will respond to the bug and, if necessary, go out-of-band.
[17:40]<svnw>andrei: yeah, i gave you two ways to do that
[17:41]<zgmzny>stew: I understand the ways, but my question is: is suggesting that I add content to the Debian.org website appropriate as a 'bug'? what kind of 'bug' would that be?
[17:41]<svnw>andrei: wishlist bug, or just write to the mailing list
[17:41]<mg9><07/22/06@09:37:26> [DECODE] Opened dsp
[17:41]<mg9><07/22/06@09:37:26> [CONFIG] WARNING: No InputSamplerate defined, assuming 44100!
[17:42]<zgmzny>stew: ok. thanks for the advice!
[17:42]<mg9>after that I get kicked from the server I am trying to broadcast to
[17:42]<dxrw1>how can i configure buttons on a mouse ?
[17:42]<svnw>mha13: how exactly are you hoping to configure it?
[17:43]<rsr>Left Button == Order Pizza, Right Button == Feed Cat
[17:43]<svnw>for that you want xbindkeys
[17:43]<dxrw1>stew:i own 6 button mouse .
[17:43]<2fjgmyn>mha13: have you got six fingers? :O
[17:44]<nufnw>dn4, try cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp

[17:44]<svnw>blondie: how many keys on your keyboard? :P
[17:44]<nufnw>(turn the volume down first, though)
[17:44]<rsr>mha13: indeed.
[17:44]<2fjgmyn>stew: do I have to count them all? :(
[17:44]<mg9>Eulex, that hurt my ears
