[08:00] <Zanthus> does anyone remember how to use apt to do updates and install software on a computer that is not connected to the internet?
[08:02] <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

[08:07] <darkrose> Zanthus: last post
[08:21] <Zanthus> cool
[08:22] <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)

[09:01] <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
[09:02] <head_victim> It's ok, I can get it again.
[09:03]  * darkrose dd's /dev/null over head_victim
[13:03] <Zanthus> thanks for the help darkrose  :)
[13:04] <darkrose> np 
[13:04] <darkrose> ;0
[13:04] <darkrose> :)
[13:04] <darkrose> urgh, shift
[13:33] <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?
[13:36] <Zanthus> clonezilla?  http://clonezilla.org/
[13:37] <head_victim> Zanthus: so just run that as a livecd and copy it over?
[13:38] <darkrose> sounds like a job for `cp -Rp --copy-contents <src> <dest>`
[13:39] <Zanthus> I haven't actually used clonezilla before
[13:39] <head_victim> darkrose: that will look after mbr, everything?
[13:40] <darkrose> no, need manual partitioning
[13:41] <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
[13:43] <head_victim> Ok lucky I have about 100 ubuntu cds here I can use as a live cd.
[13:49] <head_victim> If it fails I'll just blame you ok?
[14:07]  * darkrose tries to care, fails
[14:54] <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
[15:10] <head_victim> I'm still physically rebuilding so I'll ponder the options when it's together again
[22:42] <blahdeblah> head_victim: Did you already do your hard disk copy?
[23:58] <head_victim> blahdeblah: I have to buy an ext drive first. But yeah I have a complete mirror on my hdd here now
