01:04.22sorphinGeorge-: good, now sod off and go to bed
01:04.27CosmicPenguinI'm pissed that I can't figure out how to make a boot floppy image without the actual frickin' floppy
01:04.29George-sorphin: no :)
01:04.32filehow scary, you can make programs for the Zaurus on Cygwin
01:04.33sorphinGeorge-: before i tell your mum

01:04.45George-sorphin: she's computer illiterate :)

01:05.24ibotwish i knew, jacques
01:05.36CosmicPenguinsorphin: I'm angry that I actually need a floppy to make an image suitable for booting from a floppy
01:05.45George-sorphin: that explains why there was a lot of moving about outside my room earlier :)
01:05.52CosmicPenguinAnd lets not even get into the whole initrd issue
01:06.27sorphinCosmicPenguin: dd + loopfs + mkfs.minix
01:08.47CosmicPenguinsorphin: what about the bootloader?
01:09.04sorphinCosmicPenguin: syslinux
01:09.11CosmicPenguinsorphin: I know that
01:09.20CosmicPenguinsorphin: but how did you make a bootable image on the loopfs?
01:09.35*** join/#elinux chouimat (~dieu@r2351064.cidc.net)
01:10.24CosmicPenguinsucky, sucky sucky
01:10.35CosmicPenguinI suck - diddly uck
01:10.41sorphinheh
01:12.05CosmicPenguinheh - they just listed a bug that our sensors can't show negative temprature values
01:12.19CosmicPenguinI want to see how they set that bad boy up in the lab
01:13.46sorphinCosmicPenguin: indeed
01:13.53sorphinnitrogen cooling anyone? ;)
01:19.34CosmicPenguinkernel + x in 42 minutes on the opteron
01:19.37CosmicPenguinI'm disappointed
01:20.24fileCosmicPenguin: what was it just for the kernel?
01:20.31jacqueshmm, I'm pretty sure my overclocked 2500+ can do that
01:20.35CosmicPenguinfile: 4 or 5 minutes, I can't remember
01:20.48CosmicPenguinNow, that is full X, with all the fonts and programs and everything
01:20.50CosmicPenguinbut still
01:20.58fileyou should try something C++, I bet speed will drop dramatically
01:21.10filesince g++ is just oh so crappy
01:21.16CosmicPenguinfile: this is why we don't make C++ programs
01:21.21CosmicPenguinproblem solved... :)
01:21.24fileindeed
01:21.56sorphinCosmicPenguin: they actually got you away from using C++? bout time ;)
01:22.22CosmicPenguinsorphin: yeah, well
01:22.28CosmicPenguinThat was never by choice
01:22.36fileMicrosoft's compiler is actually half decent for C++, but their APIs are sometimes ugh
01:22.40fileand everything has a little bug to it
01:22.42CosmicPenguinBut then again, look how scary GTK is
01:22.55CosmicPenguinMaybe object oriented is the way to go for graphic toolkits
01:23.20CosmicPenguinanyway, I'm audi... laters
01:23.24sorphinCosmicPenguin: cya
01:23.26filettyl
01:24.26sorphin+s
