| acolytetojippity | quick question, do i need to do anything special in order to install 12.04 to a portable hard drive, and have it be bootable? I would still need to be able to use the remaining space on the drive for storage and that space must be accessible via Windows. | 05:43 |

| dolphin194 | Can you share a connection through ethernet without a crossover? | 22:00 |
| holstein | dolphin194: with a router... | 22:03 |
| dolphin194 | no | 22:03 |
| holstein | yeah, you can | 22:03 |
| dolphin194 | direct link between 2 ubuntu machines | 22:03 |
| holstein | ive always had access to a router or switch | 22:03 |
| holstein | at some point, i would consider just cutting the wires and making a crossover cable | 22:04 |
| dolphin194 | I have a laptop that is connected to our net via wifi, and i wanna share that connection with a computer that doesnt have a wifi dongle | 22:04 |
| dolphin194 | It works when i connect my macbook with the other laptop | 22:05 |
| holstein | dolphin194: i dont think that'll require a crossover cable | 22:05 |
| holstein | you want to make the laptop a router at that point.. kind of | 22:05 |
| dolphin194 | pretty much | 22:05 |
| holstein | bring the internet in over wifi, and share like a switch the lan port | 22:06 |
| dolphin194 | pretty much | 22:06 |
| dolphin194 | yeah | 22:06 |
| holstein | dolphin194: i would just read about making a router | 22:06 |
| dolphin194 | but theres an issue with making the laptop a router | 22:06 |
| dolphin194 | its a webserver | 22:06 |
| holstein | dolphin194: at some point, you might just want to get the wallet out.. parts are so cheap these days.. you might just save a lot of time and headache with 10 bucks | 22:07 |
| dolphin194 | all i wanna do is link the 2 computers together with a non-crossover | 22:07 |
| holstein | i think i would expect it to be like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1663788 only kind of backwards | 22:08 |
| dolphin194 | It works when i do it with my macbook | 22:08 |
| holstein | not sure what the webserver will do | 22:08 |
| holstein | dolphin194: i would just use OSX then | 22:08 |
| dolphin194 | how do i put OSX on my dell... | 22:08 |
| holstein | dolphin194: or you can refer to that guide, and try switching the info | 22:09 |
| dolphin194 | ill mess with it | 22:09 |
| holstein | i mean its all possible.. its just going to be challenging to find that information, since its not common | 22:09 |
| dolphin194 | alright | 22:09 |
| dolphin194 | thanks anyway | 22:09 |
| holstein | usually folks want a wifi router out of the laptop they have | 22:09 |
| dolphin194 | ill figure it out | 22:09 |
| holstein | but, that will be similar.. just backwards | 22:10 |
| dolphin194 | yeah, turning the laptop into a wifi dongle | 22:10 |
| holstein | i might look at a router solution.. something on a live CD | 22:10 |
| holstein | dolphin194: turning the laptop into a wireless router | 22:10 |
| holstein | not really a dongle | 22:10 |
| dolphin194 | alright ill get it sorted out though | 22:10 |
| dolphin194 | one comp doesnt have an OS on it right now | 22:10 |
| dolphin194 | was just wondering if it could be done | 22:11 |
| holstein | allowing you to do exactly what you would do with a router.. wire it up to the modem, and make a wifi access point | 22:11 |
| holstein | dolphin194: its all open.. if the hardware supports it, anything can be done | 22:11 |
| dolphin194 | well the computers are Dell PowerEdge 2650 and Inspiron Mini 9v | 22:11 |
| holstein | sure.. but the chipsets are all over the place from just one of those boxes | 22:12 |
| dolphin194 | yeah | 22:12 |
| holstein | still, i think you'll be able to do it.. i just dont know how easy it will be | 22:12 |
| holstein | and ive always just had a bunch of spare harware laying about... | 22:12 |
| holstein | good luck. i would try the mailing list for main ubuntu.... or askubuntu | 22:13 |
| dolphin194 | i got a bit of an issue | 23:03 |
