meoblast001in the loading aditional components, is it typical for a P2 to take a while on the "Retrieving nic-usb-modules-2.6-24-19-generic-di" section11:46
zizou03? Or is this pointed at someone else? :p11:47

DaveDixonIIHow to i .zip a folder in the terminal?17:25
cody-somervilleuse the zip command17:25
DaveDixonIIand that is?17:26
floatingnix ppl prefer tar17:27
cody-somervilleDaveDixonII, The zip command is a command that allows you to create a zipfile.17:28
floatingtar -cfvz /dir dir.tar.gz maybe or something17:28
DaveDixonIIThank you floating17:28
cody-somervilleThat would create a tarfill17:29
cody-somervilleInfact, a compressed tarfile17:29
floatingextract it by changing the c (create) to x (extract)17:29
cody-somervilleDaveDixonII, are you looking for the zip format specifically? You may be if you're looking to extract on a Windows system since windows systems generally don't have the software installed to extract tarfiles.17:30
DaveDixonII7-Zip can handle it. :)17:30
floatingi think winrar extracts tar.gz fine17:30
cody-somervilleWell, if you're already familiar with the software you'll need then I'd say you're set.17:31
new2linuxIs there a way to install Xubunut in chunks (Can't fit the wjole thing on one flash drive) or could I copy folders from the falsh drive to the computer on at a time (Like a manual install). I've got DSL booted up using a floppy drive and 256mb flash drive and have acsess to the hard drive. I can't do a net install BTW (No net work card).17:31
cody-somervillenew2linux, Can you fit the Ubuntu Server on the flash drive?17:32
cody-somervilleOh wait, 256mb flash drive17:33
cody-somervilleI take it there is no cd-rom?17:33
new2linuxIf it is less then 256mb17:34
new2linuxNo cd rom17:34
cody-somervillenew2linux, I don't think its feasible.17:34
new2linuxI was thinking of just splitting the img up and copying it to the hard drive when DSL is booted.17:35
new2linuxOr does it do more then copy the img files17:35
cody-somervilleIt doesn't copy the img file at all17:35
new2linuxOk then never mind that.17:36
cody-somervilleIF this computer doesn't have a network card or cdrom, I doubt it could run Xubuntu anyhow17:37
new2linuxYa it can I believe at least 600mhz processor 192mb RAM17:39
cody-somervilleYea, I suppose it might but it would be slow17:40
new2linuxThink Puppy Linux would be better (DSL says it isn't meant to be installed).17:43
cody-somervilleDSL works fine installed17:47
new2linuxI thought DSL was meant for live cd mode not as a true installed system.17:48
cody-somervilleSure but it works just as well installed if not better17:49
