00:06.31 | absentia | redhat 9 is slower than w2k |

00:06.37 | raster | absentia: custom :) |
00:06.39 | absentia | I'm investigating replacement desktops for blows... at work |
00:06.42 | absentia | nice! |
00:06.49 | raster | nah |
00:06.58 | raster | no bootroms involved |
00:07.08 | raster | LonEagle: i know. radeon for example :) |
00:07.44 | raster | basically we've got a 6Mb initrd that contains all that x needs toi get up wiht 1 basic xlib client, and linux to boot. |
00:07.50 | raster | the kernel is stipped down as all hell |
00:08.15 | raster | and the ide probing is disabled and has its init params passed to it on the kernel param line |
00:08.37 | raster | theres a custon replacement for init that just spawns what we want and remounts the initrd as rw |
00:08.45 | absentia | this is for what use? |
00:08.52 | raster | the trick was 1. use initrd. |
00:09.03 | raster | 2. replace scritps with code to avoid having to load a shell & interpret |
00:09.14 | raster | 3. have nothing on the system and ld.so.cache is pre-propulated |
00:09.33 | raster | kernel needed some hacking to make it not panic when u tell it the drive info |
00:09.36 | LonEagle | raster: yeah |
00:09.49 | raster | the system has basically no libraires |
00:10.05 | raster | libc, libm, ld.so and thats about it (libpam for X etc.) |
00:10.09 | raster | libX11 and libXext |

00:12.07 | raster | i wonder how fast an ipaq/zaurus coudl boot if minimized... :) |
00:12.25 | kergoth | fast i'm sure |
00:12.36 | kergoth | forking tons of shells is slow as shit on arm devices |
00:12.58 | absentia | instant on is good enough for me |
00:13.02 | absentia | I'm not worried 'bout boot time |
00:13.14 | absentia | I bought 64mb ram for a reason. |
00:13.46 | raster | kergoth: yeah. have thought about doing a new "init" for a long time. |
00:14.08 | kergoth | raster: you n me both man. sysvinit sucks. |
00:14.17 | raster | kergoth: spawingin shell after shell after shell, re-sorucing rc scripts, "coinfig" fiels that are shewll scritp ssetting up functions & variables |
00:14.23 | raster | kergoth: all tonnes of overhead u just dont need |
00:15.13 | raster | while i'm at it i shoudl add a gui o it too |
00:15.13 | raster | :) |
00:15.23 | raster | (optional) |
00:15.24 | raster | :) |
00:15.29 | kergoth | yay for gui init |
00:15.33 | kergoth | pertiness! |
00:15.44 | raster | heres my take |
00:16.02 | raster | u just list a bunch of services u want running on boot |
00:16.06 | raster | have different boot profiles |
00:16.12 | raster | so each profiel lists what u want running |
00:16.18 | raster | each service lists dependancies |
00:16.22 | raster | just like packages |
00:16.39 | raster | so almost all services list "file system" as a dependency |
00:16.45 | raster | youy dont have to explicitly state u want it |
00:16.52 | kergoth | not unlike gooch's need(8) based init then |
00:16.56 | raster | the init just traces the dependency tree |
00:17.06 | kergoth | service interdependency, with no 'runlevels', just profiles of what you want |
00:17.12 | raster | down and does the first steps - as fast as possible |
00:17.22 | raster | as a service comes alive its "children" get spawned |
00:17.25 | raster | yup |
00:17.30 | raster | just like need |
00:17.37 | raster | but not in shell - in config/code |
00:17.44 | raster | yup |
00:17.52 | raster | runlevel is just your boot profile |
00:17.56 | raster | ie "X" is a boto profile |
00:18.00 | raster | "console" is another |
00:18.05 | raster | "emergency" is a third |
00:18.13 | kergoth | not in shell.. so some form of simple config/service language |
00:18.15 | raster | you can choose which at boot |
00:18.20 | raster | and one of them is the default |
00:18.29 | raster | yup |
00:18.45 | raster | hopeflly tiny "config" files that are trivial and easy to parse |
00:18.48 | raster | to fidn the info |
00:19.02 | raster | either that or a master database |
00:19.07 | raster | that is the cache of these service files |
00:19.19 | raster | when u install a service file (new onw) u need to rebuild the cache |
00:19.32 | kergoth | cache would certainly speed up the parsing |
00:19.39 | raster | aaaah bugger |

04:10.15 | W8TVI | ChipX86, I dont have the room to install gaim on my zaurus |
04:10.29 | kergoth | W8TVI: buy media |
04:10.36 | ChipX86 | that's the beauty of CF and SD |
04:10.50 | W8TVI | that wont do me any good |
04:10.58 | ChipX86 | I can't shrink gaim |
04:11.14 | W8TVI | I've never been able to get anything to install to my SD card |
04:11.16 | fliplap | buying media won't do you any good? |
04:11.17 | ChipX86 | and I can't expand the internal memory of a Zaurus |
04:11.21 | kergoth | W8TVI: sounds like you're using sharp |
04:11.25 | kergoth | their external install stuff is crap |

04:11.27 | ChipX86 | I run qpe-gaim on my SD |
04:11.36 | fliplap | i've got a 256meg sd card in my 5500 running OZ3.2 and it works fine |
04:11.36 | ChipX86 | it Just Worked (TM) |
04:11.47 | W8TVI | mine a 128mb card |
04:11.48 | fliplap | yeah, i run gaim from my sd card too |
04:12.09 | W8TVI | and it Just Didn't Worked (TM) |
04:12.12 | W8TVI | oops |
04:12.19 | W8TVI | and it Just Didn't Work (TM) |
04:12.44 | W8TVI | kergoth, you've walked me thrugh it before |
04:12.47 | W8TVI | didn |
04:12.51 | W8TVI | t work that time |

04:16.25 | rev | auctioning it since no one wanted to buy it |
04:16.25 | rev | wow |
04:16.29 | rev | someone already bid on it |
04:16.30 | rev | heh |
04:16.34 | rev | i just posted it like an hr ago |
04:16.50 | W8TVI | lol |
04:17.09 | zabsentia | how much are those? Do they make any noise? |
04:17.23 | rev | you can find them for around $90 |
04:17.25 | zabsentia | one of the best things about the zaurus is the fact that it is silent. |
04:17.29 | treke|home | rev: why not just get an adapter for it |
04:17.30 | rev | they have a pretty quiet humming |
04:17.33 | zabsentia | ok |
04:17.35 | rev | because it is a hard drive internally |
04:17.40 | zabsentia | yup |
04:17.43 | zabsentia | too noisy |
04:17.43 | rev | nothing like a full hard drive |
04:17.51 | rev | if you've ever seen an ipod- like that |
04:17.54 | rev | same kind of drive |
04:18.10 | zabsentia | my wife just said "What the hell is that?" -- referring to my typing on the zaurus.... |
04:18.14 | W8TVI | so you going to add on $30 for shipping? ;) |
04:18.14 | zabsentia | says it's scary. |
04:18.21 | rev | $30 for shipping? |
04:18.22 | W8TVI | lol |
04:18.22 | rev | huh? |
04:18.53 | W8TVI | you didn't state your shipping |
04:19.07 | fliplap | my girlfriend was just like "Wow, you can play Mario on that! Lemme see!" |
04:19.07 | rev | you put in your zip into the calculate shipping thing |
04:19.08 | zabsentia | Is it significantly faster than CF ram? and SD? |
04:19.08 | kergoth | wtf, yahoo disconnects centericq |
04:19.08 | rev | and it tells you |
04:19.11 | rev | :P |
04:19.25 | rev | zabsentia: i'm not sure what speed is like compared to CF or SD- i'd guess similar |
04:19.28 | rev | but i've not checked |
04:19.31 | zabsentia | ok |
04:19.33 | W8TVI | d'oh |
04:19.35 | fliplap | zabsentia: its a lot cheaper |
04:19.39 | rev | it's always been fast enough that i never had the chance to wonder |
04:19.45 | fliplap | but its not going to be of much use for your zaurus |
04:19.55 | zabsentia | I feel the same about CF/SD |
04:19.58 | rev | yeah, a 2 GB CF-> $500, 2 GB PCMCIA -> ~$100 |
04:20.00 | fliplap | unless you want a pcmcia adapter hanging off |
04:20.04 | _Bala_ | anyone know how to get the tip of the stylus out of the stylus bay if it broke off?? |
04:20.17 | fliplap | _Bala_: gotta take the Z apart |
04:20.20 | fliplap | i had todo it |
04:20.23 | W8TVI | take the z apart, or get some long forceps |
04:20.28 | zabsentia | I thought there was an IBM microdrive that was CF? |
04:20.37 | W8TVI | zabsentia, there is |
04:20.38 | _Bala_ | you can take them apart?? |
04:20.39 | fliplap | there is, but rev's isn't one of em |
04:20.39 | W8TVI | 1gb |
04:20.39 | _Bala_ | cool |
04:20.40 | treke|home | yup |
04:20.40 | rev | yes there is |
04:20.46 | zabsentia | ok |
04:20.47 | rev | but those really don't make sense |
04:20.48 | rev | i mean |
04:20.57 | rev | CF has caught up and surpassed IBM's microdrive |
04:20.57 | _Bala_ | *looks for a small screwdriver* |
04:20.58 | treke|home | faster than CF |
04:20.58 | rev | for now at least |
04:21.16 | treke|home | rather signficantly faster |
04:21.27 | rev | the PCMCIA hd is faster? |
04:21.40 | treke|home | than a cf memory card? should be |
04:21.44 | W8TVI | well, up untill now there wasn't any way to get a 1gb cf card |
04:21.44 | rev | ah ok |
04:23.40 | zabsentia | hmmmm. I thought I got buzzword bingo fromt the latest zaurus fed.... but I don't see it now. |
04:23.59 | W8TVI | zabsentia, you can get it from the opie 1.0 feed |
04:24.00 | rev | there has been a 1 GB CF card for quite a while |
04:24.10 | zabsentia | aha!!! |
04:24.12 | _Bala_ | hmm dont think i have a philips head small enough :( |
04:24.24 | W8TVI | damn! |
04:24.28 | W8TVI | it ran! |
04:24.35 | zabsentia | but that probably wont run uder straight sharp rom, eh? |
04:24.37 | rev | woo |
04:25.00 | W8TVI | the old board in my 5500 must of had something wrong with it... |
04:25.02 | treke|home | rev: A microdrive should win out in situations where you are mostly concerned with write speed |
04:25.13 | rev | ahh ok |
04:25.28 | rev | if you're doing a lot of writing, a microdrive or PCMCIA HD would make more sense- they live a lot longer than flas |
04:25.29 | W8TVI | rev: and it wont wear out like the mem card would |
04:25.38 | rev | yeah |
04:25.40 | rev | totally |
04:25.47 | treke|home | yeah, it will probably wear out faster :) |
04:26.04 | zabsentia | hehehe |
04:26.05 | zabsentia | yup |
04:26.58 | rev | you think? |
04:27.38 | W8TVI | why would the harddrive wear out faster? |
04:28.09 | W8TVI | sure its easyer to break the HDD by droping it... |
04:28.45 | kergoth | W8TVI: mechanical devices always suffer from more wear. |
04:28.48 | kergoth | treke|home: exactly |
04:29.44 | W8TVI | but if your doing alot of writes to it (like I seem to do with my SD and CF cards) the HDD should have longer life |
04:29.53 | zabsentia | I love the fact that there are no moving parts in the zaurus.... |
04:30.03 | kergoth | W8TVI: you're missing the point. given the same amount of activity, the hdd will wear more |
04:30.06 | W8TVI | the keyboard |
04:30.09 | kergoth | dont compare apples & oranges |
04:30.40 | zabsentia | all my laptop hdds die....when I run them like a server ... |
04:30.55 | zabsentia | I want to run my zaurus as my primary server. |
04:31.19 | treke|home | back up often :) |
04:31.24 | zabsentia | i do |
04:31.54 | W8TVI | wow... $70 for a new P3 |
04:32.03 | zabsentia | but my cds are seeing up to 40% data loss |
04:32.06 | W8TVI | I paid $75 about a year ago |
04:32.20 | W8TVI | I prefer HDD as backup |
04:32.27 | W8TVI | that is 3 HDDS |
04:32.47 | W8TVI | I have 3 computers so I back things up to all 3 |
04:32.48 | zabsentia | I'm going to write a perl proggie that will checksum files with sliding data sizes so I can reconstruct data from partial and or corrupted files |
04:33.19 | zabsentia | I'm surprised that there isn't such a program available already |
04:35.10 | fliplap | thats odd, nothing will launch on my Z |
04:35.12 | W8TVI | cool, dual 1ghz P3/mobo combo for $455 |
04:36.29 | fliplap | all Opie apps are segfaulting |

04:41.54 | fliplap | it just needs to be automated |

04:42.04 | kergoth | fliplap: zfi was...feed based |
04:42.06 | treke|home | fliplap: automation would be worse |
04:42.09 | kergoth | we need zfi + a ranking system |
04:42.12 | fliplap | i don't post updates to opieirc because its a pain |
04:42.19 | fliplap | treke|home: like how freshmeat is |
04:42.25 | kergoth | or ipkgfind + ranking + additional metadata |
04:42.34 | zabsentia | and we lost software, like qboard |
04:42.54 | treke|home | fliplap: freshmeat works because everything is supposed to be there |
04:43.05 | zabsentia | yes... we need more than 1/2 para 'bout each |
04:43.05 | fliplap | i wonder if sambaserver installed something un-good |
04:43.14 | treke|home | fliplap: you do things the way freshmeat does it, pretty soon you'll have 100 wince apps in there |
04:43.21 | zabsentia | also need icons for native 640x480 ... and commercial, etc. |
04:43.23 | fliplap | good point |

04:43.50 | treke|home | someone has |
04:43.58 | treke|home | since they were bitching that it isnt built anymore |

04:44.21 | fliplap | uhg. looks like it didn't fully install, tho all the files are there and it runs, i just can't remove it |
04:44.22 | kergoth | wonder if they work |
04:44.44 | fliplap | it was the last thing i did before stuff stopped working, so i'm gonna say no |

18:00.44 | rev|lib | much more important than dillo on qt |
18:00.49 | rev|lib | *much* |
18:02.10 | absentia | it's *FAST* |
18:15.46 | treke | what is it with absentia and dillo? It's fast but it renders like crap |
18:17.13 | W8TVI | I'd rather use lynx |
18:17.26 | treke | dillo isn't that bad :) |
18:17.39 | treke | at least dillo can render a half decent table |
18:18.30 | rev|lib | well |
18:18.35 | rev|lib | i'd rather use dillo than lynx |
18:18.43 | rev|lib | but i'd rather use links or w3m usually than dillo |
18:18.51 | rev|lib | both of those can do frames and tables |
18:19.16 | treke | maybe a links port for qte :p |
18:19.22 | rev|lib | actually |
18:19.31 | rev|lib | waht would be *SWEET* |
18:19.36 | rev|lib | and i'm trying to see how possible it'd be for squeak |
18:19.40 | treke | rev|lib: do a dynapad links port :p |
18:19.49 | rev|lib | is a port of w3m-img to QPE |
18:19.55 | rev|lib | it's like lynx/w3m/links |
18:19.57 | rev|lib | but with pictures |
18:20.01 | treke | links does pictures |

18:21.36 | rev|lib | but cool |

18:21.43 | rev|lib | cool |
18:21.49 | treke | or in qte if you wrote it |
18:21.53 | rev|lib | didn't know that |

19:23.13 | pHluid | It would get so hot the chips would work themselves out of the sockets |
19:23.28 | pHluid | so you had to take the cover off and push on about 80 big ass socketed chips |
19:24.13 | pHluid | CP/M was a badass OS :( |
19:24.19 | pHluid | It definately should've won over DOS |
19:24.31 | pHluid | http://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/adam/ |
19:28.05 | rev | i've never used CP/M |
19:28.08 | rev | what did it do better? |
19:28.38 | pHluid | Hell, everything |
19:29.00 | pHluid | DOS was a kid's toy in comparison, at least at the time when they were competing |
19:29.00 | rev | it didn't multitask did it? |
19:29.49 | pHluid | http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Cpm/ |
19:30.29 | pHluid | It didn't multitask at first |
19:30.36 | pHluid | But I believe the later platforms did |
19:30.43 | pHluid | Wait, hrm |
19:30.50 | pHluid | You know, it might have |
19:30.56 | pHluid | must have, cause it was multi-user |
19:31.01 | pHluid | I dunno. Memory hazy :( |
19:31.11 | rev | aww |
19:32.14 | pHluid | http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Cpm/whycpm.html |
19:32.14 | rev | reading it :) |
19:33.04 | pHluid | I'm trying to find something that compares CP/M to DOS at around the same time frames |
19:33.18 | pHluid | DOS was basically a neutered, stripped down CP/M so that it was easier for joe schmo to use |
19:34.11 | oGMo | DOS was a hacked version of a shitty bootloader |
19:35.50 | rev | mmmmhmm |
19:37.04 | pHluid | http://members.fortunecity.com/pcmuseum/kildall.htm |
19:37.12 | pHluid | http://www.dcast.vbox.co.uk/cpm.html |
19:37.21 | pHluid | There's a lot on the history of it all |
19:37.30 | pHluid | But it's hard to find anything comparing the two feature-wise |
19:38.19 | rev | mmhmm |
19:38.35 | pHluid | And I'm not sure were you get the idea it was a "hacked version of a bootloader" |
19:38.57 | treke | boot virus, maybe |
19:39.07 | pHluid | DOS was never intended to be a user environment |
19:39.20 | fliplap | heh, boot viruses, i remember those |
19:39.43 | pHluid | It was written more or less to test memory modules, and that was it. heh. |
19:40.49 | pHluid | IBM wanted CP/M for the x86 platform, Digital Research had a very mature CP/M OS, but their x86 version couldn't be completed on schedule, they approached Microsoft and asked them to code a CP/M clone |
19:41.36 | pHluid | Microsoft couldn't do that and meet IBM's schedule demands, so they bought 86-DOS, a research platform written by one guy in his garage to test his employers memory modules, from Seattle something or other, and hired it's author. |
19:43.33 | rev | i used to play with virii |
19:43.42 | rev | you could get "virus workshop" apps for DOS |
19:43.44 | rev | they were fun |
19:43.48 | pHluid | VCL |
19:44.00 | rev | i would write them on my 486 then deploy on the XT and oberve the pattern |
19:44.01 | rev | what a nerd |
19:44.09 | rev | a computational ecologist before i even knew it |
19:45.28 | treke | man. rev brings pathetic to a whole new level |
19:45.44 | rev | heh |

19:46.04 | rev | http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2755616188&category=51076&rd=1 |
19:46.27 | rev | for anyone wanting to get into electronic music it'd actually be a really nice starter unit |
19:46.32 | rev | quite cheap, but good sound |
19:47.21 | treke | good sound? |
19:47.26 | treke | it's a fricken hard drive |
19:47.34 | rev | ? |
19:47.39 | rev | i mean the sampler |
19:47.43 | pHluid | I believe he meant the sampler. |
19:47.43 | rev | :P |
19:47.49 | pHluid | FEEL HUMBLED. |
19:47.52 | rev | haha |
19:47.56 | rev | CHUMP |
19:47.57 | treke | Feel this |
19:48.09 | absentia | I had two pcmcia hard drives... back in 97 or so |
19:48.09 | treke | don't be steppin to me ho |
19:48.16 | absentia | for a sparc laptop... both drives died. |
19:48.18 | absentia | I think they were 200mb |
19:48.29 | absentia | one was loud as a drill |
19:49.17 | pHluid | rev: OK |
19:49.20 | pHluid | CP/M was multi-user |
19:49.23 | pHluid | but time-shared |
19:49.28 | pHluid | like old versions of UNIX |
19:49.32 | pHluid | So not multi-tasking |
19:49.39 | pHluid | At least in the later versions |
19:49.46 | rev | pfft |
19:49.47 | pHluid | Early versions were single-user like DOS was |
19:49.47 | rev | LAME |
19:50.04 | treke | like squeek |
19:50.23 | rev | !#@%!!! |
19:50.33 | pHluid | CP/M eventually evolved into DR-DOS/OpenDOS though, which is to my knowledge the only multitasking DOS |
19:50.37 | absentia | plan9 ? |
19:51.14 | treke | rev: bow before the superiority of C |
19:51.17 | rev | pfft |
19:51.20 | rev | C sucks my ass |
19:53.24 | rev | hell |
19:53.27 | rev | us smalltalkers |
19:53.32 | rev | we even write our virtual machine in smalltalk |
19:53.48 | rev | there are at least two other multitasking DOSes |
19:53.53 | rev | that i know of, probably more |
19:54.21 | rev | there is OS/2 1.0-1.2, both of which are no more than multitasking DOS; later versions were multitasking DOS in the same way, if you didn't boot into the GUI |
19:54.59 | pHluid | Saying OS/2 in any form is a DOS is a bit of a misnomer |
19:56.00 | pHluid | it used flat memory addressing and ran in protected mode |
19:56.06 | pHluid | And to my knowledge wasn't based on any DOS code |
19:56.35 | pHluid | So I'd have to disagree that it was a DOS OS, at least so far as it being even remotely compatable with any other |
20:01.25 | rev | well, not based on DOS |
20:01.36 | rev | but it runs DOS apps, it's a dos work alike |
20:02.06 | pHluid | The whole OS/2 thing was weird |
20:02.28 | pHluid | Everybody hated DOS, they hated all it's limitations and they hated what a bastard it was to code for, and all the cheap hacks you had to use |
20:02.40 | pHluid | Basically it was a big load of shit |
20:02.58 | pHluid | IBM and MS spend millions writing a powerful OS that addressed damn near all the problems |
20:03.08 | pHluid | ...and nobody gave a shit. |
20:03.09 | pHluid | heh. |
20:03.24 | treke | at least it wasnt a mac :p |
20:03.25 | rev | mmhmm |
20:03.29 | rev | OS/2 was awesome |
20:03.38 | pHluid | Yah, it definately was |
20:03.40 | rev | i used to run os/2 2.1 on the family 486 |
20:03.41 | rev | it owned |
20:03.44 | pHluid | Just nobody cared |
20:03.45 | rev | hell |
20:03.57 | rev | it even ran decently on that 25 mhz 486sx, with a piddly 4 MB of RAM |
20:04.01 | rev | it was slow, sure |
20:04.05 | rev | but it ran a lot better than Win3.1 |
20:04.37 | pHluid | I really, really wish the whole Win3/9x thing had never happened |
20:04.47 | rev | yeah |
20:04.48 | rev | me too |
20:04.54 | pHluid | What a massive time waste all that shit was |
20:05.02 | rev | i never actually had used win9x once until the year 2000 |
20:05.08 | rev | when i had a win 98 machine at work |
20:05.16 | rev | i always used DOS or linux or os/2 |
20:05.26 | rev | linux on my own machine, DOS on the family machine |
20:05.32 | rev | win3.1 sucks soooo bad that i never used that shit |
20:05.38 | pHluid | I used it |
20:05.41 | pHluid | You didn't miss anything. |
20:05.46 | rev | and refused to install win95, it would be cruel to my dad who used the computer |
20:06.03 | rev | DOS ruled in its own weird way |
20:08.19 | rev | DesqView ruled a lot |
20:08.28 | rev | i used that for a little while, for multitasking |
20:08.56 | rev | i tried using win 3.1 at first, basically as a DOS box multiplexor |
20:08.58 | rev | but hell no |
20:09.00 | rev | that sucked ass |
20:09.11 | rev | i couldn't be on a BBS and do something in another DOS box at the same time |
20:09.19 | rev | it'd slow the download down to 1 cps |
20:18.21 | pHluid | DESQView/X was way, way better for multitasking |
20:18.31 | rev | yeah |
20:18.34 | pHluid | Win was shit at it |
20:18.37 | rev | yeah |
20:18.38 | rev | hell |
20:18.42 | rev | Win9x was still shit at it |
20:18.44 | pHluid | You could maybe get away with 1 DOS session and using windows apps |
20:18.47 | rev | yeah |
20:18.50 | rev | *maybe* |
20:18.55 | pHluid | Trying to do multiple DOS sessions was hideous though |
20:19.00 | rev | yeah, truly evil |
20:19.09 | rev | OS/2 could do 10 dos sessions on that box with no problem |
20:19.16 | rev | while not dropping my donwload speed one byte a second |
20:19.23 | rev | DV and DV/X would slow it down a little |
20:19.32 | rev | but it was worth it |
20:28.13 | treke|home | well, the dos apps were all run in a single thread |
20:28.19 | treke|home | all the way up to NT4 |
20:28.59 | rev | mmhmm |
