03:29.30kergothhey MonMotha, GPSFan
03:30.39MonMothabin only modules suck, don't they
03:31.00kergothindeed they do
03:31.08kergothfucking SD
03:31.33MonMothaah yes, SD sucks
03:31.46MonMothaclosed spec, expensive cards
03:32.16MonMothabesides, you can't use them in my ipaq, my digital camera, and those handy little IDE adapters that CF cards have :)
03:32.37kergothI'm wondering how much I can disassemble this module to replace bits of its code without being in danger due to the dmca
03:33.36MonMothakergoth: IANAL, but as long as you don't allow the final product to circumvent the access controls, or tell anyone how to do so (by providing such documentation about your rev engineering adventures), you might be OK
03:33.53kergothyeah, thats what I'm hoping for
03:34.01MonMothaIIRC, the DMCA actually specifically allows reverse engineering for compatibility, but the problems so far have been the "circumvention device" thing
03:34.22MonMothaalso, I believe it only says trafficking a circumvention device, not the creation or use
03:34.22kergothyeah, it does allow it for compatibility. I hate pushing my luck ;)
03:34.30kergothI need to reread it
03:34.41GPSFansorphin: not much...
03:34.56MonMothaif I read that right (which I probably didn't), that means you can circumvent access controls as long as you don't tell anyone else how to do it or provide them with the means to do so
03:34.59MonMothaas I said, IANAL

20:43.26legodudeso in the meantime...
20:43.50rodapopHi.  I'm looking to get linux running smoothly as a workstation on a 486.  What are your opinions on using an older kernel such as 1.2.13?
20:44.11legodudeugh
20:44.14legodudeuse at least 2.2
20:44.31legodude2.2 ran fine for me on 486
20:44.37CosmicPenguinlegodude: for more fun, try building 1.2.13 on your windows box
20:44.42rodapoplegodude: it is for a workstation.
20:45.07rodapopFor typing, and emailing.
20:45.11legodudeCosmicPenguin: didn't they build kernel with VC++ once?
20:45.33legodudehaha
20:45.34legodudedid they?
20:45.37CosmicPenguinIf I don't hear it, it doesn't exist
20:45.46legodudeI seem to recall reading something about it a couple years ago
20:46.14CosmicPenguinrodapop: 2.4 should even work great.  Its the user apps you need to watch out for
20:46.42legodudekernel in itself doesn't have terribly high system requirements
20:46.55legodudeit runs on wee things all the time
20:49.34Russ|werkrodapop: you can try using the iPAQ distro
20:50.57rodapopUser apps are definitely the killers.  I can work on that.  I would like to make sure that my core components are all very high performance on 486 machines.  With a kernel sans module support, would 2.4 be comparable to a circa 1992 kernel?
20:51.39Russ|werkdon't worry so much about the kernel
20:51.56Russ|werkand the only time modules would really slow you down is depmod -a
20:52.20sorphinotherwise just insmod -f ;)
20:53.13rodapopI have read on the kansas city mailing list archives (1992) that the kernel would take 8 minutes to compile on a 386.
20:53.37rodapopI am looking for this standard of performance or better.  
20:55.12rodapopSee http://www.kclug.org/old_archives/linux-activists/1992/feb/2/0077.shtml for details.

20:57.10rodapopYes 1992 is 11 years ago ;D  But I have many 486 machines that I refuse to throw away.  I know of many who could benefit from an email/wordprocessing machine.
20:58.07rodapopI can benefit because it gives me satisfaction to not be funding bloatware, and I am intending on selling these machines as I do with my custom keyboards.
20:58.19sorphinheh
20:58.40sorphinrodapop: i'd suggest having SOME highspeed box around to do your compiling on ;)
20:58.54rodapopsorphin, I am currently working on a 600 Mhz computer.
20:59.09rodapopI also have a 350 Mhz K6-2.
20:59.18sorphincuz 2.4 compiles slower than 2.2 for example, and it esp matters on cpu speed/memory
20:59.41rodapopI would like to hear your thoughts on the 2.0 series.
21:01.08rodapopThe 2.0 series was the first series that I had the opportunity to be familiar with, though I did not ever compile it on or for a 486.
21:02.05sorphinumm
21:02.45Russ|werkrodapop: use your distro's kernel packaging system, and compile a kernel for your system on another box (2.4)
