00:05.34rasterkergoth:  not too bad. we got linux booting here on a pc in 5 seconds... all the way to x :)
00:05.44absentiareally?
00:05.45absentiawhat os ?
00:06.03LonEagleand what video card?
00:06.10rasterabsentia:  linux
00:06.12kergothraster: nice, howd ya pull that off, LinuxBIOS?

00:06.26LonEagleahh
00:06.26absentiawhich flavor ?
00:06.27rasteroff disk
00:06.30revyo kids
00:06.31absentiaredhat 9 is slower than w2k
00:06.37LonEaglewell that's gotta help.  some video drivers are slow to init
00:06.37rasterabsentia:  custom :)
00:06.39absentiaI'm investigating replacement desktops for blows... at work
00:06.42absentianice!
00:06.49rasternah
00:06.58rasterno bootroms involved
00:07.08rasterLonEagle:  i know. radeon for example :)
00:07.44rasterbasically we've got a 6Mb initrd that contains all that x needs toi get up wiht 1 basic xlib client, and linux to boot.
00:07.50rasterthe kernel is stipped down as all hell
00:08.15rasterand the ide probing is disabled and has its init params passed to it on the kernel param line
00:08.37rastertheres a custon replacement for init that just spawns what we want and remounts the initrd as rw
00:08.45absentiathis is for what use?
00:08.52rasterthe trick was 1. use initrd.
00:09.03raster2. replace scritps with code to avoid having to load a shell & interpret
00:09.14raster3. have nothing on the system and ld.so.cache is pre-propulated
00:09.33rasterkernel needed some hacking to make it not panic when u tell it the drive info
00:09.36LonEagleraster: yeah
00:09.49rasterthe system has basically no libraires
00:10.05rasterlibc, libm, ld.so and thats about it (libpam for X etc.)
00:10.09rasterlibX11 and libXext
00:10.10rasterthats it
00:10.17rasterits stipped down mucho
00:10.22rasterworks tho
00:10.24rasterthats good

00:12.07rasteri wonder how fast an ipaq/zaurus coudl boot if minimized... :)
00:12.25kergothfast i'm sure
00:12.36kergothforking tons of shells is slow as shit on arm devices
00:12.58absentiainstant on is good enough for me
00:13.02absentiaI'm not worried 'bout boot time
00:13.14absentiaI bought 64mb ram for a reason.
00:13.46rasterkergoth:  yeah. have thought about doing a new "init" for a long time.
00:14.08kergothraster: you n me both man.  sysvinit sucks.
00:14.17rasterkergoth:  spawingin shell after shell after shell, re-sorucing rc scripts, "coinfig" fiels that are shewll scritp ssetting up functions & variables
00:14.23rasterkergoth:  all tonnes of overhead u just dont need
00:15.13rasterwhile i'm at it i shoudl add a gui o it too
00:15.13raster:)
00:15.23raster(optional)
00:15.24raster:)
00:15.29kergothyay for gui init
00:15.33kergothpertiness!
00:15.44rasterheres my take
00:16.02rasteru just list a bunch of services u want running on boot
00:16.06rasterhave different boot profiles
00:16.12rasterso each profiel lists what u want running
00:16.18rastereach service lists dependancies
00:16.22rasterjust like packages
00:16.39rasterso almost all services list "file system" as a dependency
00:16.45rasteryouy dont have to explicitly state u want it
00:16.52kergothnot unlike gooch's need(8) based init then
00:16.56rasterthe init just traces the dependency tree
00:17.06kergothservice interdependency, with no 'runlevels', just profiles of what you want
00:17.12rasterdown and does the first steps - as fast as possible
00:17.22rasteras a service comes alive its "children" get spawned
00:17.25rasteryup
00:17.30rasterjust like need
00:17.37rasterbut not in shell - in config/code
00:17.44rasteryup
00:17.52rasterrunlevel is just your boot profile
00:17.56rasterie "X" is a boto profile
00:18.00raster"console" is another
00:18.05raster"emergency" is a third
00:18.13kergothnot in shell.. so some form of simple config/service language
00:18.15rasteryou can choose which at boot
00:18.20rasterand one of them is the default
00:18.29rasteryup
00:18.45rasterhopeflly tiny "config" files that are trivial and easy to parse
00:18.48rasterto fidn the info
00:19.02rastereither that or a master database
00:19.07rasterthat is the cache of these service files
00:19.19rasterwhen u install a service file (new onw) u need to rebuild the cache
00:19.32kergothcache would certainly speed up the parsing
00:19.39rasteraaaah bugger
00:19.41rastermeeting
00:19.44rasterbbl
00:19.56raster(wish i had time to work on that init stuf now)

00:53.59absentiaI'll go there.
00:54.10absentiaafter I install all of mickeyl's python

01:01.43absentiawhy does ipkg yell at me.. when it says the filename has changed from zlib_arm to zlib... please change back?
01:01.48absentiathat's so god damn annoying.
01:01.55absentiaif it knows there's a change.. why not just run !
01:03.08absentiastew/mg: do you have a 700 or 760 ? that's what I have.
01:03.24absentiaI hope this works.
01:03.38MG_Takabsentia: it always gives me issues in the beginning, though, when I install it
01:03.48MG_Taklike, at first, it wouldn't accept input in vnc
01:04.00MG_Takthen after a while, or me installing some other package I guess, it started working just fine
01:04.16absentiaheheh

01:23.45absentiafuck
01:23.53absentiaI reflashed and it STILL won't take screen taps
01:24.10absentiawhat the hell can I do now ?
01:27.31absentiadoes tkc have a rom for the 700/760 yet?
01:29.12fliplapmaybe its broken
01:29.34absentiawhat'sw broken? my 760?  ... only if I broke it :-)
01:29.41fliplaplike i said
01:29.56absentiaI just did option 3.... in the flash menu... whatver that is (reset ram?)
01:29.59absentiaandnow it's tapping again.
01:30.25absentiaI need to automate re-installing software after each flash :-)
01:31.21emmeabsentia: which roms did you try on your c760?
01:31.39absentiaI only have sash rom now
01:31.44absentiaI can't find a replacement sharp rom
01:31.47absentiaand i don't know of any others.
01:31.50absentiaoh, I tried oz.. sorry.
01:32.03ljpoz no workie?
01:32.24absentiait has progressed a long way since I last looged at it
01:32.34absentiabut it's just not usable... yet.
01:33.39absentiajust my opinion.
01:33.46ChipX86treke: ping
01:33.48absentiasash's rom has netfront *and* opera...
01:34.00absentiaand I can save files via the web browser (you can't with konq under oz!)
01:34.24absentiaI will experiment with my 700 ....
01:34.38absentiaafter I get my 760 to where I can dev on it.
01:34.57absentiaI was hoping that the vnc would help me speed things up... but it whacked the machine.  I'll try another version. :-)
01:35.58MG_TakChipX86: pong
01:36.12ChipX86hmm.. routing issues.
01:38.00absentiaI got to the point where I was liking nethack on the 700 ...
01:38.11absentiaand my wife likes the mahjongg, I still have to write a new/better version for her...
01:38.14absentiashe plays that before bed
01:38.17absentiaI like to play a little nethack
01:38.37absentiaand I kept destroying the 700.... .. leaving it in an unusable state.
01:38.54absentiawhat do you guys use your zaurus for ?
01:41.21MG_Takpda
01:41.35absentiais it really usable as/for a pda?
01:41.50absentiawhat pda/pim app do you use most?
01:43.43absentiasunone... nice
01:43.55MG_Takand before I can do that, I need to get FreeSWAN 2 programs to compile for the Z :(
01:44.43MG_Takthough it's too bad there's no actual app to use aside from the web interface
01:44.51MG_Takand reloading web pages for every change is a bit of a pain.

04:16.18revhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=51076&item=2755616188
04:16.25revauctioning it since no one wanted to buy it
04:16.25revwow
04:16.29revsomeone already bid on it
04:16.30revheh
04:16.34revi just posted it like an hr ago
04:16.50W8TVIlol
04:17.09zabsentiahow much are those?  Do they make any noise?
04:17.23revyou can find them for around $90
04:17.25zabsentiaone of the best things about the zaurus is the fact that it is silent.
04:17.29treke|homerev: why not just get an adapter for it
04:17.30revthey have a pretty quiet humming
04:17.33zabsentiaok
04:17.35revbecause it is a hard drive internally
04:17.40zabsentiayup
04:17.43zabsentiatoo noisy
04:17.43revnothing like a full hard drive
04:17.51revif you've ever seen an ipod- like that
04:17.54revsame kind of drive
04:18.10zabsentiamy wife just said "What the hell is that?" -- referring to my typing on the zaurus....
04:18.14W8TVIso you going to add on $30 for shipping? ;)
04:18.14zabsentiasays it's scary.
04:18.21rev$30 for shipping?
04:18.22W8TVIlol
04:18.22revhuh?
04:18.53W8TVIyou didn't state your shipping
04:19.07fliplapmy girlfriend was just like "Wow, you can play Mario on that! Lemme see!"
04:19.07revyou put in your zip into the calculate shipping thing
04:19.08zabsentiaIs it significantly faster than CF ram? and SD?
04:19.08kergothwtf, yahoo disconnects centericq
04:19.08revand it tells you
04:19.11rev:P
04:19.25revzabsentia: i'm not sure what speed is like compared to CF or SD- i'd guess similar
04:19.28revbut i've not checked
04:19.31zabsentiaok
04:19.33W8TVId'oh
04:19.35fliplapzabsentia: its a lot cheaper
04:19.39revit's always been fast enough that i never had the chance to wonder
04:19.45fliplapbut its not going to be of much use for your zaurus
04:19.55zabsentiaI feel the same about CF/SD
04:19.58revyeah, a 2 GB CF-> $500, 2 GB PCMCIA -> ~$100
04:20.00fliplapunless 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??
04:20.17fliplap_Bala_: gotta take the Z apart
04:20.20fliplapi had todo it
04:20.23W8TVItake the z apart, or get some long forceps
04:20.28zabsentiaI thought there was an IBM microdrive that was CF?
04:20.37W8TVIzabsentia, there is
04:20.38_Bala_you can take them apart??
04:20.39fliplapthere is, but rev's isn't one of em
04:20.39W8TVI1gb
04:20.39_Bala_cool
04:20.40treke|homeyup
04:20.40revyes there is
04:20.46zabsentiaok
04:20.47revbut those really don't make sense
04:20.48revi mean
04:20.57revCF has caught up and surpassed IBM's microdrive
04:20.57_Bala_*looks for a small screwdriver*
04:20.58treke|homefaster than CF
04:20.58revfor now at least
04:21.16treke|homerather signficantly faster
04:21.27revthe PCMCIA hd is faster?
04:21.40treke|homethan a cf memory card? should be
04:21.44W8TVIwell, up untill now there wasn't any way to get a 1gb cf card
04:21.44revah ok
04:23.40zabsentiahmmmm. I thought I got buzzword bingo fromt the latest zaurus fed.... but I don't see it now.
04:23.59W8TVIzabsentia, you can get it from the opie 1.0 feed
04:24.00revthere has been a 1 GB CF card for quite a while
04:24.10zabsentiaaha!!!
04:24.12_Bala_hmm dont think i have a philips head small enough :(
04:24.24W8TVIdamn!
04:24.28W8TVIit ran!
04:24.35zabsentiabut that probably wont run uder straight sharp rom, eh?
04:24.37revwoo
04:25.00W8TVIthe old board in my 5500 must of had something wrong with it...
04:25.02treke|homerev: A microdrive should win out in situations where you are mostly concerned with write speed
04:25.13revahh ok
04:25.28revif you're doing a lot of writing, a microdrive or PCMCIA HD would make more sense- they live a lot longer than flas
04:25.29W8TVIrev: and it wont wear out like the mem card would
04:25.38revyeah
04:25.40revtotally
04:25.47treke|homeyeah, it will probably wear out faster :)
04:26.04zabsentiahehehe
04:26.05zabsentiayup
04:26.58revyou think?
04:27.38W8TVIwhy would the harddrive wear out faster?
04:28.09W8TVIsure its easyer to break the HDD by droping it...
04:28.45kergothW8TVI: mechanical devices always suffer from more wear.
04:28.48kergothtreke|home: exactly
04:29.44W8TVIbut 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
04:29.53zabsentiaI love the fact that there are no moving parts in the zaurus....
04:30.03kergothW8TVI: you're missing the point. given the same amount of activity, the hdd will wear more
04:30.06W8TVIthe keyboard
04:30.09kergothdont compare apples & oranges
04:30.40zabsentiaall my laptop hdds die....when I run them like a server ...
04:30.55zabsentiaI want to run my zaurus as my primary server.
04:31.19treke|homeback up often :)
04:31.24zabsentiai do
04:31.54W8TVIwow... $70 for a new P3
04:32.03zabsentiabut my cds are seeing up to 40% data loss
04:32.06W8TVII paid $75 about a year ago
04:32.20W8TVII prefer HDD as backup
04:32.27W8TVIthat is 3 HDDS
04:32.47W8TVII have 3 computers so I back things up to all 3
04:32.48zabsentiaI'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
04:33.19zabsentiaI'm surprised that there isn't such a program available already
04:35.10fliplapthats odd, nothing will launch on my Z
04:35.12W8TVIcool, dual 1ghz P3/mobo combo for $455
04:36.29fliplapall Opie apps are segfaulting

04:42.09kergothwe need zfi + a ranking system
04:42.12fliplapi don't post updates to opieirc because its a pain

19:10.56revtwas a good browser

19:10.58revhell
19:11.05revi still remember the *first* web browser for NeXTSTEP
19:11.33pHluidI never used any "other" OS's around that time frame
19:12.00pHluidI started with the C64, then for like the next 10 years I was on DOS (Though I used DR-DOS, not MS-DOS) or Win
19:12.06revi was using Minix since i was like 12
19:12.15revon an XT my uncle gave me for free
19:12.16pHluidOnce I got my first 8086
19:12.35pHluidI had a bunch of other machines at varying points
19:12.41pHluidI remember a Xerox that ran CP/M
19:12.46pHluidI had a Coleco ADAM
19:12.53pHluidsome other things
19:13.05pHluidnothing I used nearly as much as the C64 or the 8086 though
19:13.18pHluidMy first 8086 was a Commodore Colt, if you remember those things
19:13.24pHluidRight before Commodore sunk under
19:13.52revi never had a commodore

19:18.41revyou may need to find another version of konq
19:18.51revi don't run OZ, and i'm not sure about any specific interactions between konq and OZ 3.2
19:18.53pHluidFor as badly resouce limited as the C64 was, it was able to do some amazing things
19:19.02revbut a bus error is some error in the binary of the file
19:19.04revpHluid: so i've heard
19:19.09pHluidI don't think the x86 platform surpassed the power of the C128 until the 386 days
19:19.16pHluid286's were probably roughly comperable
19:19.30revmy *first* computer was actually kind of like a PDA
19:19.32revit was portable

19:19.44revit ruled
19:19.44pHluidA fucking Kaypro
19:19.49pHluidIt was a "portable"
19:19.50revit was way cooler than any commodore
19:19.54revwell, it wasn't that kind of portable
19:19.54pHluidWeighed about 60 pounds
19:19.57revhaha yeah
19:19.59revi had one of those
19:20.21reva few years ago, some friend left on my door steap a 50 lb Trash-80 Model 4P "portable" computer
19:20.25pHluidGiant ass cube with a full size keyboard that attached to it to cover the monior
19:20.28revfor a week or so i brought it to school heh
19:20.36revdumb high schoolers :)
19:20.43revand used it  for taking my class notes
19:20.46pHluid8" monochrome (no graphics capability, just green text) and 2 5 1/4" drives
19:20.51revit was louder than the teacher half of the time

19:21.12revhttp://www.myoldcomputers.com/museum/comp/trs-804p.htm
19:21.15rev^^ that is it
19:21.17revit was awesome
19:21.29revit was "portable" because it had a big metal handle on the back
19:21.32pHluidcan't get the page to ... oh there it goes
19:21.32revback/top
19:21.42pHluidYah, that's kind of the same design as the kaypro
19:21.46revyup
19:21.47pHluidKaypro was way bigger though
19:21.53pHluidWhat OS did those run?
19:21.59pHluidI *think* the Kaypro used CP/M
19:22.02revwell
19:22.03pHluidBut I might be mistaken on that
19:22.06revthe one i had just booted into BASIC
19:22.11revbut i think you could run CP/M
19:22.14revbut i didn't have any disks for it
19:22.34pHluidhttp://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/kaypro/
19:22.37pHluidThere it is
19:22.59pHluidYep, ran CP/M
19:23.04pHluidThat thing was awesome
19:23.13pHluidIt would get so hot the chips would work themselves out of the sockets
19:23.28pHluidso you had to take the cover off and push on about 80 big ass socketed chips
19:24.13pHluidCP/M was a badass OS :(
19:24.19pHluidIt definately should've won over DOS
19:24.31pHluidhttp://www.obsoletecomputermuseum.org/adam/
19:28.05revi've never used CP/M
19:28.08revwhat did it do better?
19:28.38pHluidHell, everything
19:29.00pHluidDOS was a kid's toy in comparison, at least at the time when they were competing
19:29.00revit didn't multitask did it?
19:29.49pHluidhttp://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Cpm/
19:30.29pHluidIt didn't multitask at first
19:30.36pHluidBut I believe the later platforms did
19:30.43pHluidWait, hrm
19:30.50pHluidYou know, it might have
19:30.56pHluidmust have, cause it was multi-user
19:31.01pHluidI dunno. Memory hazy :(

19:32.14revreading it :)
19:33.04pHluidI'm trying to find something that compares CP/M to DOS at around the same time frames
19:33.18pHluidDOS was basically a neutered, stripped down CP/M so that it was easier for joe schmo to use
19:34.11oGMoDOS was a hacked version of a shitty bootloader
19:35.50revmmmmhmm
19:37.04pHluidhttp://members.fortunecity.com/pcmuseum/kildall.htm

19:37.21pHluidThere's a lot on the history of it all
19:37.30pHluidBut it's hard to find anything comparing the two feature-wise
19:38.19revmmhmm
19:38.35pHluidAnd I'm not sure were you get the idea it was a "hacked version of a bootloader"
19:38.57trekeboot virus, maybe
19:39.07pHluidDOS was never intended to be a user environment
19:39.20fliplapheh, boot viruses, i remember those
19:39.43pHluidIt was written more or less to test memory modules, and that was it. heh.
19:40.49pHluidIBM 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
19:41.36pHluidMicrosoft 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.
19:43.33revi used to play with virii
19:43.42revyou could get "virus workshop" apps for DOS
19:43.44revthey were fun

19:49.20pHluidCP/M was multi-user
19:49.23pHluidbut time-shared
19:49.28pHluidlike old versions of UNIX
19:49.32pHluidSo not multi-tasking
19:49.39pHluidAt least in the later versions

19:53.32revwe even write our virtual machine in smalltalk
19:53.48revthere are at least two other multitasking DOSes
19:53.53revthat i know of, probably more
19:54.21revthere 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
19:54.59pHluidSaying OS/2 in any form is a DOS is a bit of a misnomer
19:56.00pHluidit used flat memory addressing and ran in protected mode
19:56.06pHluidAnd to my knowledge wasn't based on any DOS code
19:56.35pHluidSo I'd have to disagree that it was a DOS OS, at least so far as it being even remotely compatable with any other
20:01.25revwell, not based on DOS
20:01.36revbut it runs DOS apps, it's a dos work alike
20:02.06pHluidThe whole OS/2 thing was weird
20:02.28pHluidEverybody 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
20:02.40pHluidBasically it was a big load of shit
20:02.58pHluidIBM and MS spend millions writing a powerful OS that addressed damn near all the problems
20:03.08pHluid...and nobody gave a shit.
20:03.09pHluidheh.

20:03.45revhell
20:03.57revit even ran decently on that 25 mhz 486sx, with a piddly 4 MB of RAM
20:04.01revit was slow, sure
20:04.05revbut it ran a lot better than Win3.1
20:04.37pHluidI really, really wish the whole Win3/9x thing had never happened
20:04.47revyeah
20:04.48revme too
20:04.54pHluidWhat a massive time waste all that shit was
20:05.02revi never actually had used win9x once until the year 2000
20:05.08revwhen i had a win 98 machine at work
20:05.16revi always used DOS or linux or os/2
20:05.26revlinux on my own machine, DOS on the family machine
20:05.32revwin3.1 sucks soooo bad that i never used that shit
20:05.38pHluidI used it
20:05.41pHluidYou didn't miss anything.
20:05.46revand refused to install win95, it would be cruel to my dad who used the computer
20:06.03revDOS ruled in its own weird way
20:08.19revDesqView ruled a lot
20:08.28revi used that for a little while, for multitasking
20:08.56revi tried using win 3.1 at first, basically as a DOS box multiplexor
20:08.58revbut hell no
20:09.00revthat sucked ass
20:09.11revi couldn't be on a BBS and do something in another DOS box at the same time
20:09.19revit'd slow the download down to 1 cps
20:18.21pHluidDESQView/X was way, way better for multitasking
20:18.31revyeah
20:18.34pHluidWin was shit at it
20:18.37revyeah
20:18.38revhell
20:18.42revWin9x was still shit at it
20:18.44pHluidYou could maybe get away with 1 DOS session and using windows apps
20:18.47revyeah
20:18.50rev*maybe*
20:18.55pHluidTrying to do multiple DOS sessions was hideous though
20:19.00revyeah, truly evil
20:19.09revOS/2 could do 10 dos sessions on that box with no problem
20:19.16revwhile not dropping my donwload speed one byte a second
20:19.23revDV and DV/X would slow it down a little
20:19.32revbut it was worth it
20:28.13treke|homewell, the dos apps were all run in a single thread
20:28.19treke|homeall the way up to NT4
20:28.59revmmhmm
