01:05.02Drizzt321can someone in here give me a hand getting uClib to compile?
01:05.02prpplaguechouimat: ?
01:05.09Drizzt321it doesn't seem to 'see' my kernel headers
01:05.30chouimatprpplague: the only surviving photo of my wedding
01:06.21prpplaguechouimat: ah
01:06.43chouimatprpplague unfortunatly not her best photo
01:06.47prpplagueDrizzt321: depends on how you have your toolchain and other environment variables
01:07.04prpplaguechouimat: i'm outty, gotta finish packing
01:07.08prpplaguechouimat: later
01:07.21chouimatprpplague leaving for somewhere?
01:07.44prpplaguechouimat: honduras, opening a data center sunday night
01:08.12Drizzt321prpplague: hrm, well, I'm running debian testing/unstable and I'm trying to put together my own 'lfs' set for a cf device, I'm rather new at this type of stuff
01:08.45prpplagueDrizzt321: uclibc is a rough way to get started if your a newbie
01:09.07prpplagueDrizzt321: my suggestion is get you stuff working properly with a standard libc first
01:09.23Drizzt321prpplague: heh, ah well. do I really need it if I'm not going to ever compile anything for it? I've already gotten busybox configured, and compiled and put into where my root fs will eventually be completed
01:09.28chouimatprpplague have fun ... I'm going to quebec city tomorrow and I need to downgrade a product from 5.1 to 4.8 because I can't get the 5.1 based working
01:10.21Drizzt321prpplague: problem is I have 32megs tops for the compact flash card, I was thinking of using cramfs(maybe) to pack it further in
01:10.22prpplagueDrizzt321: hmm, well if you have already compilied busybox and gotten you kernel compilied you probably have already link against a standard libc
01:10.31Drizzt321prpplague: ah
01:10.35prpplagueDrizzt321: 32mb is alot of space
01:10.55Drizzt321prpplague: heh, yea, I know for this type of thing
01:10.58prpplagueDrizzt321: IMHO uclibc if for serious space issues
01:11.02Drizzt321prpplague: and what do you think of 64megs of ram? ;)
01:11.23prpplagueDrizzt321: i.e. 2mb ram 1mb flash
01:12.01Drizzt321prpplague: damn
01:12.04prpplagueDrizzt321: 32mb flash 64 flash is pretty standard config for most arm based systems and runs well
01:12.09prpplagueoops
01:12.17Drizzt321prpplague: not arm, transmeta(x86), close enough tho
01:12.18prpplaguei mean 32mb flash 64mb ram
01:12.22Drizzt321yea
01:12.34prpplagueDrizzt321: oh, well then your good to go
01:12.45prpplagueDrizzt321: no cross compile nessary
01:12.48Drizzt321actually...I'm not sure if its 64 ram or 96 ram
01:12.48Drizzt321exactly
01:13.31Drizzt321prpplague: now, my problem is getting something put together to even boot so I can inspect the system hardware a bit more...my problem is the keyboard is IR
01:13.52prpplaguenot really a big deal
01:14.00Drizzt321ok, good, I was thinking so
01:14.06prpplagueDrizzt321: got usb?
01:14.17Drizzt321now, for busybox and the kernel I'm going to use, should I recompile and statically link?
01:14.25Drizzt321prpplague: yes, and modem(hardware based), and nic :-D
01:14.30Drizzt321prpplague: don't have a usb keyboard tho
01:15.14prpplagueDrizzt321: oh, well i'd suggest getting one
01:15.23Drizzt321prpplague: whys that?
01:15.32Drizzt321prpplague: just to make things alot easier to begin with?
01:15.36prpplagueDrizzt321: easy way of getting things tested
01:15.58prpplagueDrizzt321: you using an ide to cf adapter??
01:16.06Drizzt321prpplague: so my questions...should I statically link busybox?
01:16.35Drizzt321prpplague: nope, not that I know of...for my dev box, its a usb cf reader, and I'm guessing the devices is just standard cf reader, since it ran a version of linux of sorts
01:16.38prpplagueDrizzt321: depends on how confident you are the libs
01:17.05prpplagueDrizzt321: and thats what it boots from? the cf card?
01:17.08Drizzt321prpplague: umph, is just following the linux from scratch guide my best bet to get something together to install?
01:17.09Drizzt321prpplague: yes
01:17.31Drizzt321prpplague: since I don't have much of a clue as to what I truely need for a complete system
01:17.33prpplagueDrizzt321: hmm, sounds kinda odd
01:17.55Drizzt321?
01:18.05prpplagueDrizzt321: you already had it booting from the cf card?
01:18.34Drizzt321prpplague: well...it boots with the cf card that was originally in there, which ran midori modified for the aolcrap that the thing was marketed for
01:18.58prpplagueDrizzt321: boots with or from the cf?
01:19.05Drizzt321prpplague: midori is transmeta's linux distro, which I can't get to compile correctly so I've said screw it since it has older versions of everything anyways and hasn't been activaly maintained for a looong time
01:19.14Drizzt321prpplague: far as I can see _from_ the cf
01:19.27prpplagueDrizzt321: what hardware platform is this?
01:19.32Drizzt321prpplague: since with it out, I get essentially jack squat except for a few weird chars on the screen
01:20.16Drizzt321prpplague: x86 transmeta crusoe chip with touch screen lcd, usb, ethernet, modem, IR keyboard with a small joystick for the mouse device
01:20.41prpplagueDrizzt321: i mean is this a commercialy available platform?
01:21.03Drizzt321prpplague: 400mhz, 64(maybe 96) megs of ram, and uses a cf card for its main storage(aka the kernel and where to load the root filesystem from)
01:21.19Drizzt321ah...yes, however far as I know it was a flop and isn't produced anymore
01:21.47prpplaguehmm, i seriously doubt that it was a usb cf card adapter then
01:22.00prpplagueDrizzt321: got a url on some specs?
01:22.02Drizzt321oh...yea...good point
01:22.07Drizzt321prpplague: umm...let me find it again
01:23.42Drizzt321prpplague: here is the exact system I have  http://support.gateway.com/support/allsysteminfo.asp?sn=1096938284
01:25.38Drizzt321prpplague:   heres more stats...   http://support.gateway.com/s/Netppliance/2800032/Product.shtml
01:27.24prpplagueDrizzt321: yea looking at them
01:27.45prpplagueDrizzt321: 99% probablity if it has an internal CF hard its booting as an IDE device
01:27.53Drizzt321prpplague: pretty nifty little thing, huh?
01:28.06Drizzt321prpplague: ahhh....so I should probably enable ide with a generic drive on my kernel?

01:30.13Drizzt321CosmicPenguin: might as well!

14:16.46chou|basmentok time to go back my stuff ... while the system compile
14:27.25chouimatarrrgggg it's snowing
14:28.21CosmicPenguinmmmm.... snow
14:29.43chouimatCosmicPenguin snow == cold weather and cold weather == need to buy new winter boots and new coat and if me don't have enough $$$ to buy new computer stuff me don't have $$$ to get new winter stuff
14:30.57CosmicPenguintrue
14:31.12CosmicPenguinBut if you have lived all your life in winter climes, winter clothing is second nature
14:31.19CosmicPenguinI can't live without my sorel boots
14:31.29CosmicPenguinAnd I moved from Wyoming 6 years ago
14:31.31chouimatCosmicPenguin too warm
14:32.08CosmicPenguinmmmm.... sorel.....
14:32.28chouimatCosmicPenguin I have a boots but I need to get them fix ... sorel here is a small town full of morons
14:33.02CosmicPenguinchouimat: its been so long since I've experienced a decent winter
14:33.45chou|basmentCosmicPenguin: just last winter ... I really like the -42C while going in club
14:34.12CosmicPenguinThats not to shabby
14:34.46CosmicPenguinI don't think it sucks nearly as bad when it gets in the -30F range as it does when its about -5 or so
14:35.04CosmicPenguinYou still need to cover up - but it seems more bearable to me for some reason
14:35.23CosmicPenguinmabye its because there is absolutely no water vapor in the air and so the air is dryer or something
14:35.25chou|basmentCosmicPenguin: the problem here humidity
14:35.54CosmicPenguinno doubt - in wyoming if it gets over 30% humidity, something is very wrong
14:36.05CosmicPenguinLike, metor hitting the earth wrong
14:36.59chou|basmentCosmicPenguin: here if it's get at 30% we have a nice dry day ... last summer we got about 29C-32C (i know that not hot) but with 76-88% humidity it's ...
14:37.31CosmicPenguinIt sucks
14:51.38chou|basmenthmmm howto duplicate a line in vi? I know i'm dumb
14:52.00CosmicPenguinchou|basment: :q and then at the prompt type 'emacs'
14:55.22chou|basmentCosmicPenguin: nm I changer my editor var
15:03.40chou|basmentTomW: you won't need them :)
15:04.23TomWnm, they look like something I would use going hunting, or workmans' outdoor boots.
15:05.04CosmicPenguinIf you habitally get more than 12 inches of snow a year in your particular location they are a life saver
15:05.09chou|basmentTomW: ho living in canada

20:57.31Russwhat about one that installs
20:57.34RussI thought there was one
21:00.13sieveI'm not sure anymore.  I think kasperskey had one but that was a while back.  I doubt it's free anymore.
21:00.27CosmicPenguinMcafee isn't free any more?
21:01.12sievenot sure.  It's been a while since I've had to worry about windows machines.  Not too many POS's get virii..  :)
