| johan | sata |
| Dragnslcr | Alonea- heh, welcome to the world of *nix |
| johan | my linux the mbr was on ide |
| Druntar | ok here's the prob I'm on the live cd and when I click install on my desktop it locks up at choose language |
| intelikey | then it needs to be 0 (assuming you are changing bios to get it to boot that disk |
| Dragnslcr | Alonea- making graphical interfaces for *nix programs so that non-geeks can use Linux is relatively new |
| johan | yes |
| Alonea | Dragnslcr: heh. though I think my biggest pet peev is programs that have guis, but dont put themselves in the K Menu. |
| Druntar | ok mouse stopped again |
| slougi | johan: intelikey: that's exactly what i wanted to check |
| intelikey | yeah you need to switch the 0 and 1 |
| Linux_Galore | Alonea: well its because how UNIX works, Unix apps in general are built like lego so they have a command line toolset and then someone creates a graphical front end for those things |
| makuseru | how can i figure out wht harddrive (brand and model) i have? |
| Dragnslcr | Alonea- yup, that's pretty annoying |
| slougi | it's been too long since I really fiddled with grub |
| Alonea | Dragnslcr: really? I don't know C ++yet, but I am learning Java and guis are quite easy. Just didn't think it was that hard, thats all. |
| slougi | johan: so switch the two arguments around |
| johan | how? |
| intelikey | yeah i'd use lilo for that. doesn't care so much about bios just real phisical addressing. |
| Alonea | Dragnslcr: especially when you install a bunch of things, then forget about what you installed |
| slougi | intelikey: you need to use a text editor to edit the file, nano for example whoops johan: you need to use a text editor to edit the file, nano for example |
| intelikey | :) yeah |
| slougi | intelikey: sorry :) |
| johan | ok edit what file |
| mattchewie | makuseru - alt+f2, type in konsole and at the prompt type in lspci |
| johan | device.map? |
| slougi | johan: yes |
| johan | i can use pico |
| makuseru | mattchewie: thanks |
| Dragnslcr | Alonea- simple GUI's for simple CLI programs are pretty easy to make, it's just that nobody has bothered for a lot of them |
| slougi | johan: if it is installed use pico. if not, use nano. it is _exactly_ like pico. |
| intelikey | it's a symlink to nano |
| johan | so what should i change? |
| mattchewie | makuseru - bah nevermind, I was thinking of how to get the chipset for you HD[ :( DOH! |
| slougi | intelikey: ah wasn't aware of that |
| Dragnslcr | I love nano |
