| Zanthus | does anyone remember how to use apt to do updates and install software on a computer that is not connected to the internet? | 08:00 |
|---|---|---|
| blahdeblah | Zanthus: I think you need to add a CD-ROM source - can't remember how to do that, but Google should tell you pretty quickly | 08:02 |

| darkrose | Zanthus: last post | 08:07 |
| Zanthus | cool | 08:21 |
| Zanthus | thanks darkrose :) | 08:22 |
| Zanthus | now I just have to figure out how to do that step from the terminal | 08:22 |
| Zanthus | (no GUI installed) | 08:22 |

| head_victim | Zanthus: just do what I do, download the repo and put it on an ext hdd :) | 09:01 |
| * darkrose dd's /dev/null over head_victim's drive | 09:01 | |
| head_victim | It's ok, I can get it again. | 09:02 |
| * darkrose dd's /dev/null over head_victim | 09:03 | |
| Zanthus | thanks for the help darkrose :) | 13:03 |
| darkrose | np | 13:04 |
| darkrose | ;0 | 13:04 |
| darkrose | :) | 13:04 |
| darkrose | urgh, shift | 13:04 |
| head_victim | Cloning a hard drive from 80 gb to 120 gb, does Gparted have a copy tool or will dd do what I need? | 13:33 |
| Zanthus | clonezilla? http://clonezilla.org/ | 13:36 |
| head_victim | Zanthus: so just run that as a livecd and copy it over? | 13:37 |
| darkrose | sounds like a job for `cp -Rp --copy-contents <src> <dest>` | 13:38 |
| Zanthus | I haven't actually used clonezilla before | 13:39 |
| head_victim | darkrose: that will look after mbr, everything? | 13:39 |
| darkrose | no, need manual partitioning | 13:40 |
| head_victim | So just set up the drive with whatever partioning I like making sure there's enough room for / on one of them and just run that to get it to the new drive? | 13:41 |
| darkrose | yeah | 13:41 |
| head_victim | Ok lucky I have about 100 ubuntu cds here I can use as a live cd. | 13:43 |
| head_victim | If it fails I'll just blame you ok? | 13:49 |
| * darkrose tries to care, fails | 14:07 | |
| MaxEeePsycho1 | ...clonezella is pretty much straight forward, its a live boot environment, jusst tell it target, and host, it'll copy partition(s), and just get gparted to fix the partition(s) size | 14:54 |
| head_victim | I'm still physically rebuilding so I'll ponder the options when it's together again | 15:10 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Did you already do your hard disk copy? | 22:42 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: I have to buy an ext drive first. But yeah I have a complete mirror on my hdd here now | 23:58 |
