| troal01 | Windows is such a bastard... Installing it after Linux always screws with your MBR :P | 14:34 |
|---|---|---|
| pboro | sure it does ;) | 14:36 |
| pboro | just use some knoppix or similar to get grub reinstalled | 14:36 |
| troal01 | I prefer to do it the manual way :) | 14:38 |
| troal01 | grub-install/grub setup | 14:38 |
| pboro | yeah that's what I meant | 14:39 |
| troal01 | Ahhh, I run Arch Linux now, their CD has a nice boot option that loads all the utils you need | 14:40 |
| pboro | oh nice .) | 14:40 |
| troal01 | dm-mod for lvm2, grub, fdisk, mkfs.* etc | 14:41 |
| troal01 | http://www.fosslc.org/drupal/node/292 | 14:45 |
| troal01 | That's why I now run Arch, pboro | 14:45 |
| pboro | yup | 14:46 |
| pboro | how small is the base install of Arch? | 14:47 |
| pboro | ah... it's i686 compiled, so would not work for my embedded-stuff | 14:47 |
| troal01 | Arch is optimized for i686 and x86_64 only | 14:50 |
| troal01 | The base is about 500 megs installed | 14:50 |
| troal01 | It's really fast... my desktop boots in 12 seconds | 14:50 |
| pboro | 500 MBs? what's pretty big :/ | 14:50 |
| pboro | 12 secs? It prolly uses parallelized init then | 14:50 |
| pboro | nice anyway :) | 14:51 |
| troal01 | Yeah rc.conf lets you set up stuff to boot in background so you can take advantage of several cores | 14:51 |
| troal01 | The 500 MBs can be made smaller by unselecting packages in base | 14:51 |
| troal01 | But for a normal desktop, you will most likely have to install them eventually anyway | 14:51 |
| pboro | ah, okay... base on Debian is something that contains only the minimum to get the system running | 14:52 |
| troal01 | I haven't tried unselecting base completely | 14:52 |
| troal01 | I should, see what happens :D | 14:52 |
| troal01 | Where's my VMWare server :D | 14:52 |
| pboro | I'm pondering this because I do a lot of embedded stuff and need a tiny distro with good selection of packages | 14:52 |
| pboro | :D | 14:52 |
| troal01 | Ahhh, well what kind of CPU arch does your devices use? | 14:53 |
| pboro | Via C7 currently | 14:53 |
| pboro | Atom hopefully in the future... | 14:53 |
| troal01 | Ahh I have little experience with embedded Linux... I did play around with Linux on my PSP a bit but that's about it :) | 14:55 |
| pboro | hehe | 14:55 |
| troal01 | The PSP has a MIPS CPU | 14:56 |
| pboro | my WLAN AP has MIPS too... I use uclibc on it with 2.6 kernel | 14:56 |
| troal01 | Neat | 14:57 |
| troal01 | I want to do some traffic throttling on my network at home but my router doesn't support it | 14:57 |
| pboro | It works also as my network storage, the box has just enough memory to run samba and it has two usb harddrives attached... | 14:57 |
| troal01 | That's cool :) | 14:58 |
| troal01 | A fresh install of Vista runs pretty nicely... But it usually degrades pretty fast | 15:03 |
| pboro | yeah... Windows 7 seems to be quite nice | 15:04 |
| pboro | based on the beta released a while ago | 15:04 |
| troal01 | I considered putting that on instead of Vista but I refrained from doing so | 15:04 |
