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