[01:44] wow, trying to purge lots of packages from the default raspian install running on the pi is SLOW [01:44] at least this class 4 sd card is [01:58] Wow, using qemu-arm and running a chroot on a decent dualcore machine, doesn't seem much faster at purging packages :) [02:00] wait, it's cause I mounted the loopback image sync...async works much faster... :) [02:00] Anyone else get a raspberry pi to play with yet? [02:05] Nope. [02:06] I'd like one. [02:17] Well, so far, if you grab the raspian image, you can loopback mount the rootfs [02:18] and using qemu-arm-static, you can chroot in it and muck around a bit [02:18] purge packages, change the default user, etc. [02:18] fyi [02:30] <_bbb> but will it blend [02:31] I'm gonna blend a hard drive [02:31] what's wrong with me..buying 4 hard drives [02:31] it just increases the odds on will die
