| nevyn | use gentoo ;) |
| kpaolo | someone can tell me how to get the fonts of the main men bold?? i'm using gnome |
| nevyn | tritoul: seriously.. I can't be bothered with gentoo but if you want to rebuild applications when you've forgotten ldap support and then find you need it or whatever.. use gentoo. |
| tritoul | nevyn: I am not moving from gentoo, I loved it too much :P |
| thingfish | you just said you were. |
| bruno-cassol | yes you did |
| \amethyst | If you're recompiling all your programs with a subset of the features from the debian package, it's not really debian anymore |
| nevyn | that's the thing |
| asarch | \amethyst: Is gentoo |
| piztek3 | is there a chat for awn or avant window manager |
| asarch | \amethyst: :-D |
| nevyn | debian provides a single binary that has the features that the maintainer decides are important |
| DawnLight | maintainers are cool |
| \amethyst | tritoul: you can rebuild the packages yourself, and edit the debian/rules etc to change the way it's compiled... but that's not quite the same as USE flags |
| tritoul | I just need more experience of debian for my next job so I installed it in a vmware on my sweet gentoo. It takes me 100mb for mysql-server, the mysql-server package takes like 30mb, what is there a way of not installing all the dependencies package ? |
| \amethyst | tritoul: because it won't work without the dependency packages |
| piztek3 | anyone know anything about awn? |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | Hiryu, I want to connect to a wifi network, in shared mode with an ASCII key, whats the command I should use: iwconfig ath0 essid xxxx key yyyyy open ? |
| nevyn | tritoul: because they're dependancies.. |
| tritoul | \amethyst: my mysql-server can work well without the tones of perl package that apt-get try to make me install. |
| nevyn | they're needed to make the program work. |
| shazam | hello im using etch |
| nevyn | tritoul: can.. the debian package doesn't |
| shazam | wanna switch to sid |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | Hiryu, I want to connect to a wifi network, in shared mode with an ASCII key, whats the command I should use: iwconfig ath0 essid xxxx key yyyyy open ? |
| \amethyst | tritoul: which perl packages? |
| shazam | is there an easy way to do this? |
| Akuma_ | i have a symlink to a bin file, but that file looks into its current dir for another one so it fails when executed from the symlink. is there a way to fix that? |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | Hello, I want to connect to a wifi network, in shared mode with an ASCII key, whats the command I should use: iwconfig ath0 essid xxxx key yyyyy open ? |
| xoz_ | shazam: if you have to ask, then don't switch gonzaloaf_laptop: read /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/ |
| Kevin` | gonzaloaf_laptop you have to use a special syntax to have it convert the ascii key to the actual hex key for you |
| tritoul | \amethyst: libplrpc-perl, libdbi-perl, and much more |
| Kevin` | I think it's a:somekey |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | xoz_, I'm in windows right now, I cant connecto from gnu/linux |
| Kevin` | man iwconfig will tell you but I don't have iwconfig on this computer, so I can't check |
| gonzaloaf_laptop | Kevin`, why an hex key? it uses an ASCII key |
