[01:12] BrainDeadKK: yup, but besides that... any other 'rescue' alternatives or tools? [01:12] mhz: not as far as i know (but i havent checked) [01:13] or you mean 'rescue' as in 'rescue the grub-guindowz relationship' ? [01:13] yes, rescue the grub boot loader [01:13] afaik that's all the mode is there fore === mhz has never used guindowz with Gnu/Linux, so he can't tell [01:14] heh [01:15] BrainDeadKK: hmmm, if you are sure that 'rescue for bootloader' work fine from install cd, then maybe you should add it as an alternative in that page. [01:16] IMHO, both methods should be explained [01:16] it's how i have always done it, so adding it as an alternaitive is probably a good idea [01:16] yup [01:16] indeed [01:17] BrainDeadKK: but make sure the current install cd does it smoothly ;) [01:17] I'm going on holiday on 27th, so i don't know if i can do it/any before i go I'm afraid :( but I'll keep it on mind [01:17] good. another task on the todo list :) [01:17] my todo is endless :D [01:18] lol. i feel your pain ;) [01:18] .oO( geee, there are so much I'd like to do!) [01:19] :) [01:19] BrainDeadKK: and.. when you'd be back? [01:19] if i start writing the second way should i email it to the list, or just start adding it to the wiki page? [01:20] just add it, people who are interested on changes, will get auto-notifed by email, instantly [01:20] ok [01:21] i should be packing tomorrow (I'm away untill febuary), but i will try and find time for the rescue bit [01:21] and, if you add it as a 'comment', please do insert @SIG@ at the end of your comment so we get a timestamp with your username (wiki page, hoepfully) + timestamp [01:21] wow!!! 1 month!!! === mhz has not taken vacations in about 3 years [01:22] yeh, interstate for untill mid january, then linuxconf au. so i wont be around a lot ;) === mhz would love to get to linuxconf.au [01:23] :( pity you cant make it [01:23] afik, Yagisan, from #edubuntu will be there too [01:23] Yagisan is expert on security issues [01:23] i heard ajmitch (from #ubuntu) will be there, but i cant contact him to find out [01:24] did you try #ubuntu-devel ? [01:24] no, i havent asked around. it just came up [01:25] well, I suggest there should be a huge poster with photos of 'ubunteros' who couldn't make it === BrainDeadKK whips out install cd+laptop, and does a dummy grub install [01:27] cool!, thx [01:28] np === enrico_ [n=enrico@debian/developer/enrico] has joined #ubuntu-doc === mdke [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-doc === boglot [i=chaas@haas.workdsl.de] has joined #ubuntu-doc === HrdwrBoB [n=matt@bob.is.teh.admin.at.vicnet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-doc === HrdwrBoB [n=matt@bob.is.teh.admin.at.vicnet.net.au] has joined #ubuntu-doc === ealden_ [n=ealden@ipdial-189-49.tri-isys.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc === ealden [n=ealden@ipdial-189-49.tri-isys.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc === ealden [n=ealden@ipdial-167-198.tri-isys.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc === jsgotangco [n=jsg@ubuntu/member/jsgotangco] has joined #ubuntu-doc === zenrox [n=zenrox@71.115.198.118] has joined #ubuntu-doc [07:18] hey mdke === Mez|Away [n=Mez@ubuntu/member/mez] has joined #ubuntu-doc === corey_ [n=corey@S0106001217cbd164.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === corey_ is now known as Burglaptop === mdke_ [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-doc === corey_ [n=corey@S0106001217cbd164.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc === ealden [n=ealden@ipdial-165-18.tri-isys.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc === corey_ is now known as Burglaptop === rob1 [n=Robert@ubuntu/member/rob1] has joined #ubuntu-doc === Burglaptop [n=corey@S0106001217cbd164.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
