[07:33] Its a good place to start but it won't include absolutely everything in the exam. The layout doesn't exactly follow the LPI objectives in order [07:33] yep [07:34] you could start with the exam objectives on the lpi.org site and work from there using as much material you can find [07:34] ty Vince-0 [07:34] isnt the book the monkey gave us up to date [07:34] it wgets lekker and free [07:36] ya but it is a bit old for the newest revision, let me check the dates [07:36] all the foss and floss then you go buy a book [07:36] ya to win the exam easier [07:36] hehe [07:38] it is a hell of a task creating your own notes to match the objectives [07:38] yeah [07:39] but best way to remember stuff [07:39] writing down that is. not here on pc [07:39] here's the addendum notes on the lpi wiki: http://wiki.lpi.org/wiki/LPIC-1 [07:40] can i wget them or must i first go page to page [07:40] looks like the latest revision published April 2009 [07:41] that's a wiki page, dunno if a wget will give you a usable page [07:41] ah [07:44] I tried some of the practice exams linked on the lpi.org site - they're not that easy [07:45] some tricky multiple choice and "type the command" questions [07:49] morning!!

[15:37] whew [15:37] did you make seperate partitions to start with? [15:37] run [15:37] Nope. jst did it 2de... [15:38] 2de == today ? [15:38] i always make at least 3. root boot and home and on large drives i add a storage partition at the end [15:38] Today. [15:38] Yes. [15:38] run [15:39] @Cantide [15:39] we dont use @ on irc [15:39] Im not so sure abt making one for boot...i'll leave it as is. [15:40] i don't mine the @thing :) === theblazehen is now known as thing [15:40] yeah, i think just a separate home partition is enough [15:40] when you install you make them but you can make just root and home [15:40] i will do that for my next install i think === thing is now known as theblazehen [15:41] the advantage of having a home part is that with a reinstall you dont lose all your setting and stuff because you install but dont format /home [15:47] Im back tonight Kilos [15:47] i see so [15:48] im trying to install centos on other pc to use for the class [15:48] hey did we not use @name before in irc days of yore? lol [15:49] nocware, a boot partition is not required. it is used more for server installs or special occasions [15:49] its twitter peeps that have that habit [15:50] no, @ was used waay before anyof social networks existed man [15:50] in roguelike games, your avatar is the @ symbol. since then it signals a player or user [15:51] Kilos, that also introduces problems when old, bad settings are kept when you want a fresh install - especially when changing versions [15:51] or ChanServ >_> [15:51] /msg nickserv [15:51] ops '-' [15:51] oh okay [15:52] ya if there are bad setting or some corruption but it can save lotsa hard work if your /home wasnt corrupt [15:52] true that [15:52] which CentOS do you have Kilos ? I have 5.6 [15:52] I remember that 6 came out... [15:52] 5 [15:52] i only really reinstall though if my installation is broken or if i'm changing versions, in which case keeping my /home is a bad idea [15:52] someone please link the octothrope thing [15:52] and old one from nuvo [15:53] run [15:53] ja then we have the same Kilos [15:53] but it be stupid [15:53] how so? [15:53] only got a 6g drive in but it wants to install on hdc [15:53] then says its too small [15:54] should be hda if anything [15:54] oh. can one choose features and smallify the install? [15:54] you have two drives in there? [15:55] yo grant [15:55] ai! [15:55] the thing wants to install to eth0 [15:56] that's your network interface [15:56] nope only the 6g but it must be seing the eth to router [15:56] eh? [15:57] how about changing it Kilos [15:57] and that means it dont even see the 6g with xp on [15:57] I'm booting it in kvm now [15:58] hang on.. need to get this support request for my web host done.. damn thing does not see rsync [15:58] right im in a kinda parted tool [15:58] ill sort it kbmonkey you do your stuff ty [15:58] watch me multitask man ;) [16:01] whats a lvm group [16:01] whew [16:01] better to format drive with gparted then start and install [16:02] logical volume management [16:02] and they aint even got ext4 yet [16:03] it allows you to pool your drives together, so they become one large space [16:03] among other things [16:03] it is how servers can add more disk space without needing reinstallation [16:05] oh, cool :) [16:05] that is logical xD [16:05] surpdurp [16:05] hey Vince-0 [16:05] RMS is in Joburg [16:05] Vince-0, I may need to cancel my RMS booking T-T [16:06] oh that's OK [16:06] There will be an update this week [16:06] my dad's car died today [16:06] so i don't think i'll be able to get there [16:06] ow, I'll pick you up on the day [16:06] hmm [16:06] if it's not a problem, that would be cool [16:07] you seized your dads car [16:07] whew [16:07] lol [16:07] yup :D [16:07] Cantide -1 T-T [16:07] sure, email me closer to the time and we can arrange it [16:08] hi everyone [16:08] :] [16:08] k, i'll catch you on here sometime :p [16:08] oh my this centos gives the choice of gnome kde server and i dunno what more [16:08] hi grantw '< [16:08] centos with x? noooo [16:08] hows things grantw [16:08] you been scarce [16:09] going OK, been sick for 4days [16:09] Kilos, have no DE and just use the terminal :) [16:09] no man [16:09] 'O' [16:09] i dont want a server [16:09] i wanna see wassup [16:09] then what are you using it for?
