[09:04]<fy2nz>how much for Boot
[09:04]<vrfdghrfadjg>32 MB
[09:04]<fy2nz>4 GB of RAM?!?
[09:05]<fy2nz>Damn
[09:05]<rggjgg>ElvenStar: well, you pay one way or another, either with money for ram, or with time due to poor performance
[09:05]<vrfdghrfadjg>n, 1, [enter], +32M
[09:05]<fy2nz>yea
[09:05]<vrfdghrfadjg>n, 2, [enter], +512M
[09:05]<myssaavnc>Does anyone know what package contains the crc32 command?
[09:05]<fy2nz>heh
[09:05]<vrfdghrfadjg>n, 3, [enter], [enter]
[09:05]<vrfdghrfadjg>and you're done with fdisk, Fiber
[09:05]<gfvggsvzz>i was thinking of upgrading my athlon64 from 1 gb to 2 gb ram
[09:05]<fy2nz>Yea I know Valin
[09:05]<vrfdghrfadjg>oh..wait..and "a, 1"
[09:05]<mgrm_ogg>don't you have to tell it primary ?
[09:05]<myssaavnc>Please tell me it's not app-crypt/calcchecksum. I don't want to build kdelibs just for that.
[09:05]<fy2nz>and boot
[09:05]<fy2nz>and swap
[09:06]<mgrm_ogg>n primary 1 enter +32M ?
[09:06]<mgrm_ogg>or does it not ask if its a blank hd
[09:06]<vrfdghrfadjg>"t, 2, 82"
[09:06]<fy2nz>What is this 82 and 83 stand for
[09:06]<vrfdghrfadjg>oh yeah..it asks about primary, doesn't it?
[09:06]<vrfdghrfadjg>82 means the paritions is a swap partition, and 83 is a normal linux parittions
[09:07]<vrfdghrfadjg>fd is an Linux RAID automount. :P
[09:07]<gfvggsvzz>ValinHalcyon> cfdisk would have been easier for him
[09:07]<fy2nz>naw guide is helping
[09:07]<fy2nz>what does 82 mean though
[09:07]<vrfdghrfadjg>that the partition is a swap partition
[09:08]<fy2nz>I know it's swap
[09:08]<vrfdghrfadjg>oh...82 is a hex value
[09:08]<fy2nz>Ah
[09:08]<vrfdghrfadjg>16*8 + 2
[09:08]<fy2nz>Valin you forgot that you have to choose p after n
[09:08]<vrfdghrfadjg>or is it 16^8 + 2?
[09:08]<mgrm_ogg>12.5 ?
[09:09]<mgrm_ogg>its 16 *
[09:09]<vrfdghrfadjg>kk
[09:09]<vrfdghrfadjg>thought so
[09:09]<vrfdghrfadjg>tired..doubting self
[09:09]<fy2nz>Happens
[09:09]<rggjgg>16^8 is a pretty big number
[09:09]<vrfdghrfadjg>:P
[09:10]<mgrm_ogg>yeah you ever wonder why they stopped telling you the exact number of colors your display pretends to do?
[09:10]<mgrm_ogg>"Lotsa color!"
[09:10]<vrfdghrfadjg>lol
[09:10]<mgrm_ogg>its hillarious everytime i see it
[09:10]<vrfdghrfadjg>hehe
[09:10]<mgrm_ogg>"omg its LOTSACOLOR!"
[09:10]<vrfdghrfadjg>4.2 BILLION colors! yeah!
[09:11]<mgyvzzyjg>Still 16.7 million. (24-bit)
[09:11]<vrfdghrfadjg>I remember as a kid getting a VLB video card and telling my dad that I could do 16 million colors now..and he asked me to name 16 million colors. :P
[09:11]<mgyvzzyjg>32-bit just means 24-bit aligned on 32-bit boundaries.
[09:11]<dzzzyp>can the human eye differentiate that many different colors?
[09:11]<vrfdghrfadjg>the 4.2 billion idocy are marketing idiots doing the math for "32" bit color
[09:12]<dzzzyp>deitarion, 32bit color = 24bit color + 8bit alpha (transparency)
[09:12]<vrfdghrfadjg>right
[09:12]<mgyvzzyjg>mngrif: Exactly, but no screen is yet transparent.
[09:12]<myssaavnc>Does anyone know what package contains the crc32 command?
[09:12]<rggjgg>heck, new gfx stuff has 128 bit colors, let them calculate that number :P
[09:12]<vrfdghrfadjg>lol
[09:12]<dzzzyp>deitarion, actually... google holographic displays :)
[09:12]<vrfdghrfadjg>nothing has 128 bit colors
[09:12]<rggjgg>not in 2D, now
[09:12]<dzzzyp>deitarion, they exist.
[09:12]<vrfdghrfadjg>maybe a 128 bit processing bus
[09:12]<yntzq>ValinHalcyon: thats easy... red1, red2, red3, red4, red5, red6, ....
[09:12]<rggjgg>but for 3D calculation they have
[09:12]<fy2nz>ok the partitions are done
[09:12]<vrfdghrfadjg>lol YeT
[09:12]<mgrm_ogg>emerge -s crc32
[09:13]<mgrm_ogg>who ever keeps asking
[09:13]<fy2nz>and set to boot, swap and root
[09:13]<yntzq>ValinHalcyon: or you could just start spouting off in hex
[09:13]<mgyvzzyjg>mngrif: I meant no screen we'll ever buy in the next two years. Ever seen the ones which project a 2D screen onto air?
[09:13]<vrfdghrfadjg>indeed..hehe
[09:13]<mgrm_ogg>MissActek * dev-perl/string-crc32
[09:13]<fy2nz>I should save
[09:13]<dzzzyp>deitarion, that's what i'm refering to, the "helio" ones, i think they're called
[09:13]<myssaavnc>Dead_One: You're sure?
[09:13]<mgyvzzyjg>Helios, I believe. Give me a sec to find that FLV file.
[09:14]<mgrm_ogg>nope, but emerge -s crc32 is the only one that popped up
[09:14]<mgrm_ogg>so good luck
[09:14]<mgrm_ogg> Link Quality=100/100 Signal level=-39 dBm
[09:14]<mgyvzzyjg>*sigh* Give me a sec to see if I can find what provides crc32
[09:14]<myssaavnc>:/
[09:14]<fy2nz>So which Filesystem is good for common use
[09:15]<fy2nz>ReiserFS?
[09:15]<gzzy2zfmy>Fiber: ext3
[09:15]<mgrm_ogg>is it sad if you need to tape the wireless router to your laptop to get strong enough signal ?
[09:15]<vrfdghrfadjg>I liked RieserFS
[09:15]<dzzzyp>Fiber, i use reiser for / and ext3 for /home
[09:15]<vrfdghrfadjg>lol Dead
[09:15]<dzzzyp>Fiber, there is a HUGE difference in "emerge --sync" with ext3 vs. reiserfs
[09:15]<vrfdghrfadjg>I'm using xfs on my servers though
[09:15]<gzzy2zfmy>yeah, don't use reiserfs on a partition where you want to keep data
[09:15]<dzzzyp>Fiber, resierfs being MUCH faster.
[09:15]<gzzy2zfmy>or have a super-reliable UPS
[09:16]<fy2nz>I won't be running ircd
