well i blame Xcdroast. I just used cdrecord from the command line to burn the first disc and teh second disc is burning right now. No more frontend burning for me

Umm... i tried to burn slackware 9.1 but first i blanked my slack9 CD and then i tried to burn it. But the CDs wont mount and when i tried burning them again in xcdroast it claimed to just start burning when in theory it shouldnt have been blank (i didnt blank them again). So does this imply that my...

which filesystem do you prefer... whoa i could make this a poll...

oh... well... i tried toms root boot disk but it doesnt have support for reiserFS which is what i run slackware on. So i went through all my other linux CDs and tried to get one to work but none of them would boot or it didnt have a shell i could use without installing it. Then i happened a slack bo...

excellent... good thing i made my backup partition at the beginning of the drive.. ill report how it goes.

erm.. ok.. how do i now stop fdisk from changing the partition table when i restart? Because since i have a slackware disk i could in theory boot onto it and then mount my hdb1 and my / and then move /etc .... couldnt i?

ahhh..... errr.... ahhh... i screwed up. i was gonna install the latest slcakware, so i copied /etc to hdb1 that was mounted at /mnt/hd i copied it then decided not to put it there (cuz i wanted to make hdb1 bigger first) so i typed rm -rf /etc and then unmounted /mnt/hd and then made it bigger in f...

I dont think this is distro specific so i posted here (in the lounge). What do i have to edit to change the text that appears before "login:" on a text login. What i want to do is, creat a couple users... named Doom, Doom2, DoomL. And then depending on which user is logged in it will automatically s...

i always liked the HOWTO at tldp.org about how to run a coffee machine via your computer.

you did go offline for a few hours the other day, i can't figure out why it's so quiet here! for some reason those microsuck forums are thriving! (sadly it's often off topic drek there, which is why i prefer here) - the other linux forum i frequent has been pretty quiet too sadly. oh yea... i'm a m...

I used to use vim but i have a hard time remembering all the commands and stuff.. I still use it on my server to directly edit the pages on there. I use kate when i am playing around with stuff before i upload it on my server, but recently i have been using mozilla composer, editing only the HTML bu...

ahhhhhhhh!!!!.... ok... i changed the host from localhost to mor.servebeer.com... and poof! it magically works... i have no idea why or how its possible that the computer didnt dissappear in a puff of logic... but it works.

do you need to put an initial table or anything in the database when making it... or do you just create a db and leave it completely empty for phpBB??

my apache error_log doesnt say anything about it. How would i check about the proper libraries?

those are my settings and i can connect that way. I thought it might have had something to do with my hostname because my computer was chatroom.fsckmicro$oft.com and i didnt change it to mor.servebeer.com which i just did. And it still says : phpBB : Critical Error Could not connect to the database ...
