[08:39]<jgn_znm_ndn>;wunder 58501
[08:39]<gfvggsvzz>korst3n> hdd is secondary slave
[08:40]<fy2nz>what is seconday master
[08:40]<cjzsv1g>hdc
[08:40]<vrfdghrfadjg>Fiber, I assume the machine you're Gentooizing isn't import so you don't have to woryy about nuking the OS on it now?
[08:40]<gfvggsvzz>hdc
[08:40]<fy2nz>hdc
[08:40]<vrfdghrfadjg>import = important
[08:40]<fy2nz>ok
[08:40]<fy2nz>omg
[08:40]<fy2nz>hda hdb hdc hdd
[08:40]<rrxjjv>Fiber: please - take it easy with yor enter key
[08:40]<cjzsv1g>ElvenStar, hdd = hard disk drive :P
[08:41]<gfvggsvzz>Fiber> then for sata and usb it's sda sdb sdc sd*
[08:41]<fy2nz>sorry cahoot not used to 900 people in a channel
[08:41]<vrfdghrfadjg>Elven> and for SCSI too
[08:41]<gfvggsvzz>indeed
[08:41]<cjzsv1g>and for usb disks
[08:41]<vrfdghrfadjg>Elven said that
[08:41]<gfvggsvzz>sd* > hd*
[08:42]<cjzsv1g>same thing, i suck.
[08:42]<fy2nz>ok now that I have names I can replace hda with hdb and partition everything?
[08:42]<vrfdghrfadjg>yeah
[08:42]<vrfdghrfadjg>I hope that PC doesn't have any important data on it
[08:42]<gfvggsvzz>Fiber> partitions are the numbers after the hd*
[08:42]<vrfdghrfadjg>because you're about to wipe it clean
[08:43]<gfvggsvzz>i.e. /dev/hda1 /dev/hdb6
[08:43]<fy2nz>lol so how come it goes 1, 2, 5
[08:43]<fy2nz>no 3 or 4
[08:43]<vrfdghrfadjg>because windows partitions drives stupidly
[08:43]<fy2nz>I copied all the important data to my external drive
[08:43]<vrfdghrfadjg>uhh..
[08:43]<vrfdghrfadjg>did you UNPLUG that drive?
[08:43]<zj2drg>cause of logical and primary partitions
[08:44]<fy2nz>All I have is the worthless windoze XP
[08:44]<fy2nz>I did Valin
[08:44]<vrfdghrfadjg>WinXP isn't worthless...
[08:44]<gfvggsvzz>however /dev/?d*4 is the extended partition so if you have and extended partition and not a primary partition then that holds the partition table for the extended partitions
[08:44]<vrfdghrfadjg>I run it in a VMware
[08:44]<vrfdghrfadjg>VM
[08:44]<fy2nz>I'm kidding Valin
[08:44]<vrfdghrfadjg>:P
[08:44]<zj2drg>after 3 partition 4 is the logical spit to creat more partitions and usually not shown
[08:44]<fy2nz>u lost me ElvenStar
[08:44]<vrfdghrfadjg>ok..as long as your data is safe..then feel free to nuke the existing partitions and repartition according to your desires
[08:45]<vrfdghrfadjg>Fiber...I came to Linux after many, many years of DSO and ancient versions of Windows..made the transition so easy.
[08:45]<fy2nz>Any partition scheme I should use
[08:45]<vrfdghrfadjg>Coming from WinXP and never dealing with DOS makes it an order of magnitude harder
[08:45]<fy2nz>Yep DOC makes it easier
[08:45]<vrfdghrfadjg>DSo = DOS with tired fingers
[08:46]<fy2nz>lol
[08:46]<gfvggsvzz>Fiber> partition 4 is like a virtual partition telling the drive where the extended partitions are as hard drives cannot support any more than 4 partitions are ...
[08:46]<fy2nz>I used to like Pure DOS :(
[08:46]<fy2nz>they removed it..
[08:46]<cjzsv1g>`-mcpu=' is deprecated. Use `-mtune=' or '-march=' instead << i often get this on emerge texts, is it harmless?
[08:47]<vrfdghrfadjg>korst yes, but switch to march someday soon
[08:47]<gfvggsvzz>korst3n> mtune implies mcpu and march is so that the binaries cannot be run on anything less
[08:47]<cjzsv1g>ah, wot should i do?
[08:48]<fy2nz>Valin I was meaning to setup Wireless and remove my CAT-6
[08:48]<gzwdfwg>hi
[08:48]<fy2nz>It is running across the whole house dad is getting pissed
[08:48]<gzwdfwg>i just came online to tell u
[08:48]<rggjgg>korst3n: replace mcpu with mtune in make.conf
[08:48]<vrfdghrfadjg>uhh...how about getting Gentoo on and working first..and learning how to use it?
[08:48]<gfvggsvzz>if you are just building for your system then march if you are building for many systems and there is a system with a lesser march then mtune
[08:48]<cjzsv1g>thanks guys
[08:48]<gzwdfwg>i found a "ms-dos cd-rom extensions with device driver" floppy version 1.26
[08:48]<fy2nz>So I need to setup vdiswrapper later
[08:48]<zxzzfns`>how do I change the default apps that nautilus launches various extensions with?
[08:48]<gzwdfwg>from 1995
[08:48]<gzwdfwg>in my room
[08:48]<fy2nz>Can I do that after Gentoo in done?
[08:49]<gzwdfwg>and im happy about that
[08:49]<gzwdfwg>;-}
[08:49]<vrfdghrfadjg>yes Fiber
[08:49]<vrfdghrfadjg>Gremlin..I have DSO 1.1 and 2.0 discs on hand..and WIndows 1.0 discs too
[08:49]<vrfdghrfadjg>DOS
[08:49]<vrfdghrfadjg>but here's the kickers..I ahve a CP/m on 8" floppies
[08:50]<gfvggsvzz>cp/m ?
[08:50]<vrfdghrfadjg>The OS from which DOS was created
[08:50]<gfvggsvzz>lol
[08:50]<vrfdghrfadjg>much like Linux was created based on UNIX
[08:50]<fy2nz>Valin once I can get to google from Gentoo I'm set
[08:50]<rggjgg>urgh, don't mention cp/M
[08:51]<vrfdghrfadjg>heh
[08:51]<vrfdghrfadjg>Fiber, you're a very long way from that
[08:51]<fy2nz>=(
[08:51]<vrfdghrfadjg>or..wait..no..they killed the stage 1 installs, didn't they?
[08:51]<vrfdghrfadjg>so everyone stage 3s Gentoo...
[08:51]<fy2nz>how encouraging LOL
[08:51]<mgrm_ogg>yes they killed stage 1/2
[08:51]<vrfdghrfadjg>bleh..I liked doing stage 1s
[08:52]<cjzsv1g>Fiber, boot with livecd then type lynx google.com
[08:52]<mgrm_ogg>yet they still make the tar.bz's for it and put it on the ftp
[08:52]<vrfdghrfadjg>;ynx works from the liveCD..yes
[08:52]<vrfdghrfadjg>lynx
[08:52]<rggjgg>s/killed/don't support them anymore/
[08:52]<vrfdghrfadjg>I like that though Dead_one
[08:52]<rggjgg>if you want you can still do stage1 installs
