| onurkar | and what about etch? |
| itchi | onurkar: See /msg dpkg releases |
| lfs | What kind of video can I get with AMD64? |
| itchi | lfs: kug lfs: What mean you? |
| piper69 | i followed all the instruction at http://feraga.com/node/30 "how to install Debian onto USB flash thumb drive" everything worked fine untill i tried to follow the last step installing the kernel and grub , can someone help me please |
| lfs | Apparently I cant get adobe flash |
| amphi | onurkar: you should go with etch if the laptop hw is at all recent |
| asg | lfs: you can, you just need to run it in a 32 bit chroot. Ask the #debian-amd64 folks |
| onurkar | amphi: where can i get etch? |
| markybob | !nspluginwrapper |
| dpkg | nspluginwrapper is probably a wrapper allowing you to use 32-bit browser plugins in a native x86_64 browser. It is known to work with Flash and a few others. Debian packages are available at http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/ |
| amphi | !etch |
| dpkg | hmm... etch is the codename for Debian 4.0, the release to follow sarge, currently testing. see http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/ Installation CDs, other media, and everything else you'll need are available from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer |
| onurkar | oops! i was told installing testing release could be a nightmare :-| |
| asg | onurkar: by whom? |
| onurkar | asg: by a really experienced linux user |
| amphi | onurkar: etch seems to work well, I'm on it now (on my laptop) |
| onurkar | amphi: well all right then there's nothing i can lose i guess :) |
| lfs | HOw come on xchat I have no list of users? |
| asg | onurkar: installing a lightbulb can be a nightmare, did the really experienced linux user provide any info on the pitfalls you would likely have to deal with? |
| onurkar | amphi: and if it detects my wi-fi easily it can be my new princess :) |
| abrotman | lfs: ask #xchat |
| amphi | onurkar: what is the ethernet card in that thing? |
| itchi | onurkar: Etch works very fin, runs it on all my workstations, i'm very happy of it. But it's not so recomended for 'new' users. Cause of many updates, and need to reconfigure the packages that where updated after an upgrade |
| Szeraax | well, now i feel dumb (probly bc i am) but how do i mount my win partition (/hda1) with readwrite priv. to my user? |
| amphi | onurkar: and the wireless, will be a slight PITA probably |
| TSWoodV | Greetings! Question about the proper method for adding a non-default route permanently. I think I need to add an "up route add -net ..." line to the /etc/network/interfaces file. Am I correct in this? |
| Szeraax | i can mount just fine, and root can just fine |
| piper69 | where can i get help installing Debian in a USB flash thumb drive please? !seen Ankman |
| dpkg | ankman is currently on #debian (12h 40m 52s), last said: 'haha'. |
| abrotman | !tell piper69 about usb storage !tell piper69 about vfatrw |
| Szeraax | or rather, how do i tell it not to be a read only device? |
| asg | abrotman: and give him ig for the win |
| lemur | I love debian |
| Szeraax | then help me out to show true devotion :D |
| itchi | lemur: Is debian not 'male' ? :-) |
| onurkar | asg: well i'm just a "beginner" if there's such a level in using linux and i was told as i said about the testing releases |
