[07:11] <philipballew_> Can I install linux onto an external hd when i am installing a version of linux with  a different architecture then the computer im using to boot the cd?
[07:13] <holstein> philipballew_: that has not worked for me
[07:13] <holstein> like PPC or something like that?
[07:14] <philipballew_> holstein, kinda, its hppa proccessor
[07:14] <philipballew_> off a hp-ux system
[07:15] <holstein> philipballew_: im not familiar, but i think its going to depend on the kernel right?
[07:15] <holstein> philipballew_: im heading out to sleep... o/
[07:16] <philipballew_> maybe. Oh well.
[07:16] <philipballew_> I might install via floppy
[07:16] <holstein> good luck though... i think if it needs a special/different kernel, it wont boot on the 'host' machine
[07:17] <holstein> mabye you could build it there though... i mean, its linux right? anything is possible...
[07:17] <holstein> not sure where to look for that though
[07:17] <holstein> philipballew_: no network? for a netboot?
[07:18] <philipballew_> holstein, not sure I know how to do that
[07:19] <holstein> philipballew_: also, check out PLOP... http://www.plop.at/
[07:19] <philipballew_> alright. ill look tonight
[07:19] <holstein> i boot USB for unetbootin on things that wont boot USB :)
[07:19] <holstein> anyways... good evening o/
[07:20] <philipballew_> OKAY! eat lots of turky tomorow
[07:22] <RgCz> Hi, i need a little help here with a partition i have to install ubuntu. Can anyone help me out please?
[07:23] <RgCz> I have an 80 gb free space partition, with no format right now. Can i install ubuntu directly into it?
[07:23] <RgCz> Oh hi there, holstein lol.
[07:31] <philipballew_> RgCz, Lets look at this
[07:32] <philipballew_> you can install and the Ubuntu installer will format that partition and install ubuntu just fine
[07:33] <RgCz> Ok, right now im looking at the create a new partition screen
[07:33] <RgCz> i selected the 80 gb one
[07:34] <RgCz> if i remember well, i need to have a boot, swap, / and /home partition insde that one right?
[07:34] <RgCz> Right now the installer marks those 80 gb as free space and gparted marks it as unallocated
[07:34] <philipballew_> RgCz, ubuntu should do that for you unless you do it all manually
[07:35] <philipballew_> you dont even need to partition before you install. you can do that mid install
[07:37] <RgCz> Yeah, that would been useful to know before partitoning. I could relocate those 80 gb but i dont know if ubuntu could take away some other 80 gb from my orginal disk.
[07:37] <RgCz> This partition has to be formatted as ext4?
[07:38] <philipballew_> it can be. i would start the instalation and see if you need to do any partiioning, but i think you'll be fine
[07:39] <RgCz> ok. About the home, boot and swap, do i need to manually set up those partitions or will the installer set up those for me?
[07:39] <philipballew_> It will do it all for you
[07:40] <RgCz> Oh ok. And the partition i have, can it be logical? Or it needs to be primary?
[07:41] <RgCz> And if its a dual boot, which device should i use for boot loader my windows (630 gb) or my ubuntu one( 80 gb)
[07:46] <RgCz> I tried to click install but it tells he i have no root drive selected
[07:46] <RgCz> So do i reformat the 80 gb as ext 4 and mount it as /
[07:46] <RgCz> ?
[07:47] <philipballew_> what type of installer are you using?
[07:48] <RgCz> im using UNEtbooting
[07:48] <RgCz> because i dont have cds or usbs to work with
[07:49] <philipballew_> so that makes usb's?
[07:49] <philipballew_> unless you mean something different
[07:50] <RgCz> Well theres an option to install it to your hard drive and then run it from the booting screen
[07:50] <RgCz> it takes me up to a functional ubuntu installer and ubuntu running in the back
[07:51] <philipballew_> hum. i would not know
[07:58] <RgCz> Well my main purpose was to install ubuntu studio, but that cd didnt detect my partition
[07:58] <RgCz> haven't tried with the free space though, ima try it
[14:49] <DeadKings> Anyone feel like hand holding a complete nOOb through a package install. I need to install crafty 23.4 to a specific folder and am clueless
[14:50] <DeadKings> In fact I tried the built in get app and it installed it but I could not find it anywhere, to even run it much less move it
[15:04] <geirha> DeadKings: You mean you installed it with  apt-get install crafty ?
[15:05] <geirha> dpkg -L crafty    will show all the files it installed.
[15:06] <geirha> It installs an executable /usr/games/crafty, which means you can just type crafty in your terminal to run it.
[15:07] <geirha> Unless you've removed /usr/games from your PATH variable.
[15:16] <Sidewinder1> geirha, He/she's currently getting help in #u for the situation..
