Brad_yup.. t1's and linux are getting a bit of press.. cool stuff.09:16
Brad_I need to find a hardware designer at sun to have a little chat with them about their choice of windtunnels, er.. fans.09:16
fabbionethanks guys10:21
fabbioneBrad_: :)10:26
tmarbleyeah... fabbione and discussed that... kind of hurts the desktop appeal ;-)10:32
fabbionetmarble: ?10:33
tmarbleyou know.. your T2000, 16 display Xinerama, higher productivity workstation (until the Ubuntu brain implant is available ;-)10:34

tmarbleyou'll be glad to know I did do a successful install based on the (final) boot.img ... 10:38
fabbioneeheh nice10:38
fabbioneBrad_: we also found the bug for our 8GB t200010:39
fabbionethe real bug10:39
tmarblebut I'm wondering if it might be useful to have a more "minimal" boot.img -- you know that has just dpkg, coreutils, openssh-server (etc.)10:39
fabbioneand we are discussing a fix10:39
fabbionetmarble: you want the server cd for that :)10:39
fabbionetmarble: otherwise you need to pass a long option to the tftp image10:39
fabbionebut it works both ways10:39
tmarblehmmm... you mean an option to OBP?10:41
tmarblehttp://sunsolve2.central.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-9-48569-110:41
fabbioneno an option to boot net $option10:41
tmarblee.g.   ok boot net - install toms-minimal-system10:41
fabbionetmarble: exactly10:42
fabbionethat url is not available from the outside of SUN10:42
tmarblearghhhh10:42
tmarbleprobably has a public equiv... hold on10:42
tmarbledidn't find the args in question on ... http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/install/i386/ch04s05.html10:44
fabbionesure.. i am going to watch a movie and crash10:44
fabbionetmarble: ok hold on a sec10:44
fabbioneit's not that simple :)10:44
fabbione{0} ok boot net base-installer/kernel/linux/extra-packages-2.6= pkgsel/install-pattern=~t^ubuntu-standard$ pkgsel/language-pack-patterns= pkgsel/install-language-support=false10:45
fabbionethere10:45
fabbionenote that's all in one line10:45
fabbionei wish it could have been done simpler..10:45
fabbionebut not for dapper10:45
fabbionewe will fix it for edgy10:45
fabbioneanyway i am off for real10:45
fabbionetake care guys10:46
tmarbleok.. have a nice evening (and a fun movie!)10:46
tmarblesorry, the doc above is apparently only available to Sun Support customers (I'll see if it's published anywhere else)10:46
fabbionetmarble: ok thanks10:47
Brad_fabbione: I'm interested to see the new fix11:01
fabbioneBrad_: it's unlike we will see the code of the fix. It's a bug in the OBP on it handles the e1000 in the t2000 in netboot. The bug did never show up booting from CD and there are other interesting patterns like ethernet frames in that portion of RAM that is "corrupted"11:02
fabbionebut anyway..11:02
fabbionemovie11:02
fabbionefor real :)11:02
Brad_moooovie!11:03
Brad_sweet!  I love bugs like that.11:03
