InHisNameGood AfterNoon! who's awake NOW ?19:37
JonathanDNo one.19:38
* InHisName yawns, longing for a nap too.19:41
* rhpot1991 wishes he could nap20:10
* ChinnoDog hits rhpot1991 over the head with a baseball bat20:17
* ssweeny wishes he could nap without the threat of violence20:20
* InHisName went searching for some ritalin to end this maddening urge to nap.20:22
rhpot1991I think my work would discourage both the napping and the violence20:23
InHisNamer u a brain surgeon ?20:24
ChinnoDogYou wished you could nap. I made sure you could.20:25
rhpot1991s/brain/bad .net code/ and then maybe20:26
ssweenyChinnoDog should be ChinnoFairy or ChinnoGenie for all the wishes he grants20:31
ssweenycould go old-school with ChinnoDjinn20:32
rhpot1991the chinnofairy is here to grant you a wish with its wish bat20:33
* teddy-dbear stays away from ChinnoDog20:49
teddy-dbearI don't need my stuffing knocked out :'(20:50
ChinnoDoglol20:52
ChinnoDogwish_bat++20:52
n2diyCan I mix and match Ext 3 and Ext 4 file systems? I building a test/backup box, and I was thinking of formatting it Ext 4, but my main box is using Ext 3?20:54
* InHisName thinks he has ext3, ext4, and lvm all running on same spindle.20:55
teddy-dbeartime for this teddy bear to go21:06
n2diyI'm building a test box with a SATA 160g hard drive. I can't set the boot flag on the drive, it is an OEM drive that has WIN NT, and XP on it, and it won't boot those, ideas?21:14
InHisNameI usually can set boot flag from gparted.   Strange that you cannot.21:16
InHisNameOf course the boot tracks need to be good or it wont boot.21:16
n2diyInHisName, roger that, I can't even format it, but let me try formatting it without the boot flag set, and see what happens?21:17
InHisNameIf you don't care about the old stuff.  Just delete all the partitions.  Start fresh.21:18
InHisNameI will be on intermittently.21:18
n2diyInHisName, roger that, I don't want any MS stuff. I set up the partitions, and it is now installing the system, hopefully GRUB with be able to set the boot stuff?21:30
ChinnoDoghrm. In Gingerbread you can write entire applications in C++22:35
InHisNamegrub on a bare drive was always good for booting.  Hope you have luck for that.22:49
