[00:00]<wygvnffnav>lol
[00:01]<mrvnbsm>the bad hacks i just put down in my code
[00:01]<mrvnbsm>are a crime against nature
[00:02]<zjvvyrrm>Everything that can differentiate a C programmer from a C++ one are to me so mindboggingly :O, all those inline and macro stuff for example :D
[00:03]<rraffsax>Spoon (or it's parent language, Brain****), provide a very consistent devlopment platform; _nothing_
[00:12]<dnscyvr_>ls
[00:26]<mrvnbsm>man AOL fucked up
[00:26]<mrvnbsm>re: slashdot
[00:28]<gj>exit
[00:28]<gj>eep, wrong window
[00:29]<mrvnbsm>password:
[00:29]<gj>lol
[00:29]<gj>password: password :(
[00:30]<zjvvyrrm>gh
[00:32]<dryvj>:(
[02:00]<asjpv>Checking the /etc/group file:
[02:00]<asjpv>Group Gdnscache has more than 8 characters.
[02:00]<asjpv>So what? What does it moan about that for?
[02:01]<zzzgnjus>historic reasons
[02:25]<xlr_>Anyone know where one can find info on the netbsd boot protocol?
[02:25]<xlr_>(For i386 and/or x86-64 specifically)
[02:52]<jzslnzw>what do you mean by boot protocol? you might find what you want in "man 8 boot"
[02:56]<xlr_>Is NetBSD supposed to be using the Multiboot spec, is pretty much what I'm asking
[02:56]<ajsxn>I believe there's a kernel option for multiboot in newer versions
[02:58]<ajsxn>if you're using grub, you can still load a non-multiboot kernel with a --netbsd option or something, although you'll need to enter the root and swap devices manually
[02:58]<ddnsr>any one from finland?
[03:08]<dyfjsg>hmmm
[04:07]<xlr_>joshe: I'm not using grub; I'm trying to figure out what's needed to load netbsd from my own bootloader
[04:07]<xlr_>joshe: I guess I'll poke in the grub coded
[04:08]<ajsxn>I have netbsd booting directly from grub, I can get you the config if you want
[04:09]<ajsxn>you'll want to put the root device in your kernel config though, unless you use the multiboot stuff
[05:01]<xlr_>The problem I'm having is much more fundamental...
[05:14]<jzslnzw>-current does support multiboot
[05:15]<xlr_>And looking at it in simulation, it looks like the handover is correct
[05:19]<rraffsax>hpa_: what's the goal? to boot, or to make it work with pxelinux?
[05:20]<xlr_>To make it work with pxelinux
[05:21]<rraffsax>oh, I was going to suggest pxeboot(8) otherwise
[07:16]<zfzzdvd_>is xen well supported in netbsd?
[07:25]<qunffysd>Hrm.. when trying to install something like irssi from source using pkgsrc, it appears to download stuff like glibc too, which I don't need and already have..
[07:25]<qunffysd>How do I fix this?
[07:25]<zzzgnjus>already have?
[07:25]<zzzgnjus>anyway
[07:25]<qunffysd>Well yes I already have glibc
[07:26]<slwnw>Quellism: first of all, if irssi needs it and you want irssi, then you need both. makes sense eh?
[07:26]<zzzgnjus>this is #netbsd
[07:26]<zzzgnjus>what you mean is glib2
[07:26]<zzzgnjus>which irssi needs to build
[07:26]<slwnw>Quellism: pkg_info | grep '^glib'
[07:26]<qunffysd>Oh maybe I read rong then
[07:27]<qunffysd>wrong*
[07:27]<qunffysd>sphex: No output
[07:27]<slwnw>Quellism: ok. then you don't have glib yet.
[07:27]<qunffysd>Ok
[07:27]<qunffysd>thanks.
[07:29]<slwnw>Quellism: np. glibc is linux's libc BTW. netbsd doesn't use that.
[10:09]<srrdrrg>maw
[10:24]<2rff>hello becki
[10:24]<2nacy>hi ball
[10:30]<2nacy>afk
[10:30]<2rff>me too, the baby's crying
[10:35]<yreey>then release it and let it's parents get it back
[10:44]<2rff>YazzY: I am one of the parent processes.
[10:44]<2rff>;-)
[10:48]<2nacy>re
[10:48]<2rff>thanks.
[10:48]<2rff>She's settled now.
[10:48]<2rff>(famous last words)
[11:05]<2rff>hello xiang, laclasse
[11:07]<qunffysd>nethack-tty doesn't want to compile
[11:07]<qunffysd>:\
[11:07]<sffyvsazggg>:(
[11:07]<qunffysd>Someone want to help me with it?
[11:08]<qunffysd>:(
[11:08]<slwnw>Quellism: bah. just telnet nethack.alt.org
[11:08]<qunffysd>sphex, it gets on my nerves when something doesn't work though :(
[11:09]<slwnw>then paste the error message
[11:10]<qunffysd>http://pastecode.com/2784
[11:10]<qunffysd>http://pastecode.com/2785
[11:11]<qunffysd>.work.log
[11:11]<slwnw>why do you use bmake?
[11:11]<qunffysd>because I'm not using Netbsd ;)
[11:12]<wyrrr>hi, ball
[11:12]<slwnw>what OS and gcc version?
[11:12]<wvzrndn>Try adding into the Makefile: CFLAGS+= -Wno-strict-aliasing
[11:12]<wvzrndn>ah no
[11:13]<qunffysd>sphex, Linux from Scratch and.. gcc version 4.0.3
[11:13]<qunffysd>xtraeme, add it or not?
[11:13]<ugnw>Welcome to NetBSD 4.0_BETA :)
[11:13]<wvzrndn>Quellism: no, looks like something needs to be changed in src
[11:14]<qunffysd>I thought this stuff was supposed to work out of the box :(
[11:15]<un2rdrsy>Linux is hardest to support ;)
[11:16]<wvzrndn>int
