=== michaelpo [n=presario@60.51.16.93] has joined #xubuntu
Ramlawell, there used to be kernel packages linux-i686 linux-k7 (you'd want the latter) but aren't they outdated by now?08:42
Ramlayarr, obsoleted by linux-generic08:42
Ramlaif you want to be sure to have an optimized kernel, you can compile it yourself08:44
Ramlathis howto's a nice one http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31115808:44
Ramlayou might need to install nvidia drivers from nvidia's installer after that. don't know about ati08:45

=== michaelpo [n=presario@60.51.16.93] has left #xubuntu []
saloxno precompiled kernel in repository or something?08:49
Ramlai think it's all linux-generic now. am not sure though08:50
saloxi know that i386 kernels use x386 instruction's set wich is a waste for a 686 procesor08:51
Ramlawell, compiling isn't that hard. you can do the config in X and since you have a working kernel setup already you just need to disable what you don't need08:53
Ramlamight take an hour or two to compile with that duron08:53
saloxok08:56
saloxthat's it08:56
saloxthank's08:56
Ramlanp, thanks for having me something to do on this extra boring lecture. another class is starting though, so bye :p ->08:58

warblerbittorrent is good on my daily ubuntu system - never had an issue12:06
warblertotalwormface: you were right - btdownloadgui is what is needed in terminal to open bittorrent - I have a lib missing - and it is not in synaptic:(12:19

nikolamis there any way to backup .deb`s from package cahe, also?01:22
Doomguy0505aptoncd01:23
nikolamHmm nice. And then addit as repository after reinstall, right?01:23
Doomguy0505yes01:23
nikolamCould it be burned to .iso file instead?01:24
Doomguy0505yes, it creates an iso file before burning01:25
Jester45why not just direcly copy the files and then when you need them cp into the cache01:27
Doomguy0505because we don't know how...01:28
nikolamWhat you meen when I need them? everytime synaptic wants it, to manually copy? I tried once to copy all already downloaded debs directly to cache. it didn`t work. it downloaded them again.01:28
Jester45it shouldnt have01:29
TheSheepyou can always install debs directly with dpkg -i or gdebi01:29
nikolamOK, boys, doing waiting of md2_resync to finish > Backup data> aptoncd to iso > memtest few hours > reinstall 7.0401:30
nikolamnewer thought that copy of 33Gb could take so long on 60-70MB`s drives. (2 raid 1`s)01:46

Jester45lol download the whole main repo just in case internet gets lost01:49
nikolam33gb of everything beagle cache, 5 gigs of docs, isos, downloads, everything01:49

Jester45nor the space01:51
nikolamWe have debian .dvd-`s for that occasion of being deserted alone on island, dont we? :)01:51
nikolamI think I didn`t find ubuntu dvds with source to download, just synaptic01:52
nikolamAnyway, my deb cace is no more than 1 Gig or so.01:53
nikolamIn fact that there is many html files, small files etc. But 33gigs should be done years ago now.. if its actually copies files from one disk to the sam disk, yust other partition I should actually consider half of the minimal speed minus raid oreverhead X2 Hmm..02:01
