Ok i turn 18 in 404 days from now and i was wondering how i would go about making a program in linux to keep track of that date? I would like a nice gui which i could do in QT but i was wondering if there are any c++ functions to get like the system time or something. I would like to get it down to ...

That sire is nice and i will follow those instructions tonight. I was refering to the other site you gave me though about which instructions i followed. I am hesitant to try again because on that site it seemed to say nvidia drivers dont workl yet. As i do alot of gaming if my vid drivers aint there...

Ok i followed all the instructions again and recompiled the kernel. I copied the bzImage and added the approriate lines to my lilo.conf file so it would boot off the new image. When i restart and slect the 2.6 kernel is says starting slack2.6 then just stops there. I know it aint booting b/c i tried...

well i just tried it and it did not worked. I had copied ovwer the bzImage and added it to my lilo.conf and upon reboot it just kinda hung. I selected that boot and it start and instead of everything loadning i just got a blank screen. So i am going to try to recompile tommorow when i get soem more ...

Ok thanks that helped me out alot. Thats all i ended up having to do. I didnt know that it could be named anything.

Ok i followed all the steps in that guide u gave me and it still dosent work. I backed up my old kernel and that boots fine. After i reboot and try what should be the new kernel after doing the make install i check cat /proc/version and it still shows up as 2.4.22. So would you have any clue where i...

I decided that i wanted to try kernel 2.6. So i went on to your redhat tips void where you show how to recompile the kernel. So i follow all your steps with no problem and they all seem to work. You say it automatically adds things to your lilo config file so i just rebooted figuring that it would w...

you could try ogle it is by far the best dvd player in linux. Supports menus even.

How long have you had the router? You could just take it back to the store and say Linksys told you to take it back because it dosent work. I did that with my wireless bridge and compusa didnt ask any questions. Mentioned tech support at linksys said to and they were like ok.

OK i finally got my program semi wokring. My LED Box of lights works and the command line program works fine. But the GUI does not work. outb just dosent seem to work from it. It dosent matter where i put it in my code it just willnot turn off the ligghts. I have the ioperm function before it so i k...

Thanks Void Main you are a genoius. I am still learning qt and that maling list link really halped out.

ok i added a function to my program tha does the strtol("01111111",NULL,2); line. But i am getting errors. guiqt.cpp:24: cannot convert `QTextStream&(*)(QTextStream&)' to `const char*' for argument `1' to `long int strtol(const char*, char**, int)' I am using QT for my GUI and QT keeps thinking that...

I have a string of ones and zeros. it is a binary number and i want to change it to a decimal int. How would i do this in c++? I just need a quick function that would do it. I am not picky on how it works just as long as it works.

yah i would think i would have those considering slackware uses resierfs by default. but i will go dl them and install them neways. Also from the Konqeuror if i just drag the home folder from its current location to the new partition will it copy all the .folders? also once i reboot and the new part...

I got a 120gig hd and i want to set up a nice 70gig home partition. I already got slackware 9.1 installed so my plan was to format the artion and add it to fstab after i copy my home directory to it. Now when i try to format the partition i get an error. $mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/hda5 is the command i ...
