Now Linux rocks even better! (or would that be, harder? :mrgreen:)
-
Roland is right, its a bug, i also run into it (or similar) while building the LFS.
It displayed different sizes and even partitions that werent there, all becouse i did everything in a go, and here i agree with Roland again, it _should_ have warned that a reboot was necesary to make the changes work.
Anyway, i didnt had much data at that time so i didnt care much, but i did post about it.

Hi,
For what i know, that can be made in almost any DE/WM, you have to search and activate the option so every virtual desktop has its own "profile", this way if you place, lets say, all the [internet applications] icons in VD1, then VD2-3-4 wont have them. and so on.
If im not to wrong ive seen the option to make every VD to have its own config, if not in KDE Control Center, maybe was an app in freashmeat.net
Although i dont find the icon specific desktop usufull i can think in a couple of things... ;)
Anyway. good luck with that, if i can find something i will post back.

That means i will have to resign to my beloved ISA Modem?? damn...
There is plenty of things to do with 32bit, and i dont think that they will be left apart, thats not AMDs intention, but Intels i think. They made this hybrid processor so the transition would be easyer and faster... also i think it has plenty to do with AMD getting some servers market, as that seems to be a sweet area.
Anyway i think its a greate thing becouse it will lower the prices of the other processors and make ppl begin work and learn about 64bit, that after all, is the future (at least for now, weird eh?).
I read that the SuSE and ...mm.... forgot the other one, but think was MDK, had server versions of Linux for the Athlon64 and the cost was around U$D600
-
:shock: :lol:
Guess who didnt had much trouble finding his stratum2 time servers?
The first 3 are for Argentina! wujuuu!
Also putted up in my site a guide i found about Network Time Protocol in Spanish.
check it out:

God!! Edit the freakin first post... damn it. you scared me to death.
That soft patent thing would sink real deep any programmers future in my country if EEUU (already partial laws) and Europe (now also with partial laws) pass that stupid thing.
Heck i dont know if this is a victory, but compared to what i thought in those 2 seconds it took me to click on the link to the post, its pretty big. Now, to continue the fight.

true true, betas are everywhere!
by the way i dont mind compiling and testing my self... i do it with a P3 733, wont have much problem in doing it with a 2.2ghz Athlon64! jejeje ;)
Anyway, yes it seems there are some issues with different programs that dont support the arch. but i think it wont take long until they do... its actually something big. And i would like to see much more confidence from the market so the things would go faster. I know it deserves it.
Also, i cant tell about the price drops, as in my country those usually do not occur, at least not at the same time as in US. for ex. an XP 2800 its 280U$S (and that its x3 in my local currency)
I was thinking this would be good place to discuss what everyone expects from it (if you actually expect something) and Linux. I really think this is a greate oportunity for Linux to grow, while the "giant" is sleeping.
-
Yes i been looking around and there seems to be some what of support, and its pretty advanced also... even the 2.4.21 supports 64bits.
I found some "benchs" with linux, a beta version of a Red Hat for 64bit in
www.anandtech.com in the article "Judgement Day"
Pretty cool stuff, till now P4 was kicking Athlon ass in multimedia content (encoding divx, mp3 and such) but with Linux and Athlon64 the thing looks pretty well for AMD, they need almost 50% LESS time to compile an MP3 with Lame.
Cant wait to get one of those things... maybe in the next ten years i will get the money...
-
Yes i was thinking about that also...
Im trying to get a laptop (ibm thinkpad 760) and i was thinking about installing the new LFS or MDK...
If i get it before 5.0 final is out, i´ll go with MDK... for some time at least!
I think it has lots of improvements, as the 4.1 was really old... anyway, the only problem it got me from using CVS version was that there was no file listing all the links to the files, and i wont be selecting everyfile...
lets wait and see! or better yet... wait and try!
-
Hi,
As you know, Athlon64 was launched today.
Does anyone know about linux and this processor support?
About Athlon:

Finally, was time! Im going to get a taste at this if they posted the freaken list of packages with its links for download.
The LFS Development Team is proud to announce the release of LFS-5.0-PRE1, the first pre-release of the upcoming LFS-5.0 book. You can read it online, or you can download the book to read it locally.The changes in this release are quite extensive. For the full list I refer to the changelog.
We would appreciate any feedback on this test release, in particular bugs in the installation instructions. Any and all feedback can be sent to the lfs-dev mailinglist.
-
Watch out with what you need, i started the same way, with the first cd, and then i run into some problems due to missing packages, not that the installer stoped or anything, but for example, Kppp its on the 3rd cd, and being a noobie (if you are), you might need it for a simple conection if you have dial up.
Welcome on board :D (its that the way to say/spell it?
) -
i knew i was missing something!
thanks for the "multiple file unzipping tip", and an aclaration, works for tar also!
now the contrib:
to make things easy, if you want to run, lets say:
tar xvfz filename.tar.gz
you could use an alias, such as ugz (or whatever fits you, while its not an existing command) by editing $HOME/.bashrc and adding:
alias ugz='tar xvfz'
This can be edited to any kind of command also, for ex. for bz2 files, instead of tar xvfj ... you could use ubz2... thats it.
i know its not much, but i found it to be quite practical when building the LFS system...

Hi,
BooYah, could you explain me a bit about that command line parameters??
(just curious ;))
Steve, does windows need anything else appart from Perl? (for that to run)
Thanks both!
-
Hi,
well, actually, my friends with windows wont have perl...
but i can make good use of it anyway...
one question, (a couple actually)
should i define Net::FTP::Common?? or is a command?
also, should i save this under something.sh or what?
Any other soft? win compatible?? or win only ??
-
Wow.... :shock:

and plan on installing MDK there... its a pentium mmx 166mhz
we'll see what happens.

Is there any soft that i could use for these and several similar works:
i want to download all the source files from
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/desktop/2.4.../2.4.0/sources/
Yes. Gnome 2.4
but there are tar.gz AND .bz2 both versions of every pkg.
Then, what i want to do, is to use something to get the links to every (for example) file "*.bz2" and make a list (text file) with a link per line, to use wget to download them...
is there any soft able to do this or both things (select and download)
also, it would be good a windows version (friends with broadband not converted... YET!)
-
true true...
for example in fluxbox, if you drag a window to one side or the other (of the desk) you go to the next or previous desktop with that window
-
Does anyone own a TP760?? with linux? what linux?
Im thinking in getting one (used), so im investigating how does it behave with linux.
already googled, but i want to know about MDK.
-
In hardware terms, whats your default box?
-
Rox filer here....
MC for console...
but usually, Eterm fits just fine (dont use a f.m.)

Mmmm.... yes i thought so....
http://www.somosinvisibles.com.ar/layout/C...assic/style.css

I want to get a logo, like a backgound and stay, just like yours and anna's but in the left instead of the right.
thanks in advance!
Athlon64 (launched today!) and linux support
in Hardware

Actually no.
Becouse you have a translation delay and so, you lose the improvement the 64bit processing has. Finally it runs about the same speed, may be a little faster/slower depending on the app and how it was built.
About SGI graphics, got me thinking, Apple... then looked a bit, there seems that AMD its not the only one with 64bit, the new (for a couple of months now) G5 has a Motorola 64bit processor... interesting... thats another thing i would like to have... a gooooood Mac... if a Laptop better... wont somebody lend me ..... lets say, 2000 bucks? :mrgreen:
