Kiloslol06:05
mazalI will have to find a way to iso on it , can't install at home without internet.06:06
mazalMust do at work and iso for home06:06
Kilosthat easy man06:06
mazalI doubt remaster will still work06:06
mazalI hope this new tool will work06:07
Kilosget the iso then use unetbootin to put it on a stick06:07
mazalI can't do the install oom06:07
mazalLots of apt-gets needed06:07
Kilosoh you mean in place of remastersys06:07
mazalI must install on work pc , then make iso of complete one to take home06:08
Kilosyou can use just apt now06:08
Kilosapt update/upgrade/intall etc06:08
mazalI will try this systemback thingy06:08
Kiloskeep record06:08
mazalCan't do that at home , that's the point06:09
Kilossigh 06:09
Kilosthey still have fixed to connection?06:09
Kiloshavent06:09
mazalNo , I live in SA , no such thing as client service06:09
mazalNo routers for mobile yet either06:10
Kiloseish06:10
thatgraemeguyI upgraded last week already06:19
Kilosonline upgrade thatgraemeguy ?06:32
thatgraemeguyyes of course06:32
magespawnmazal there is a way to mark the packages you want to install in the software center then get them from a computer connected to the net06:32
Kilosok06:32
mazalHeaches ai. Struggling without connectivity06:39
mazalCan't do anything on a pc these days without inet06:39
mazalheadaches also06:40
Kiloslol06:40
mazalOom Kilos bad luck continues , my geyser broke also06:40
mazalDon't ahve hot water since last week06:40
Kiloseish06:40
mazalMy only external drive broke also06:41
Kilossort your dongle06:41
Kilosoh my06:41
mazalToo expensive that oom06:41
Kilosthere was a great afrihost offer last week06:41
Kilosdont you get mybroadband mails06:42
Kilos15g06:42
mazalFor my dongle I must buy prepaid data , too expensive06:42
mazalI can't apply for another contract now , it both gets approved then I have problems06:43
Kilosthe afrihost thing came with router and tablet iirc06:43
mazalLike I say , can't apply for another contract06:43
Kilossigh06:43
mazalAlready applied for one , the one that's waiting for router06:43
Kilosrev them man, they must have one at one of their shops/outlets06:58
magespawnmazal afrihost is month to month, so you could get one then cancel as soon as the other arrives07:02
thatgraemeguystay away from contracts :-o07:07
inetprogood afternoon 07:14
Kiloshi inetpro 07:17
mazalmagespawn: But how do I get a router ?07:23
mazalI will have to buy one then yes ?07:24
mazaland on witch signal does afrihost work ?07:25
thatgraemeguyafrihost uses MTN for their mobile stuff. you can buy a router cash or pay it off over 12 months07:29
thatgraemeguybut going on a 2-year contract for mobile data isn't all that great unless it's an INSANELY good price. if you look how prices have changed over the last 2 years, it would suck to be stuck on a contract at the same high rate every time a better deal surfaces07:30
mazalOk , that won't work. Vodacom , Cell C and MTN no signal where I live07:30
mazalThe only signal I have is Telkom unfortunately :(07:30
thatgraemeguyoi :-/07:31
mazalI tested with friends routers , and all is useless except Telkom signal runs about the same as 4mb line07:31
mazalThat's why I am so badly stuck. I don't really have options07:31
thatgraemeguyin this day an age that would be enough to make me move, lol07:32
thatgraemeguycan't be living offline :-O07:32
mazalAnd unfortunately the only data that is not crazy expensive is on crantract :(07:32
mazalthatgraemeguy: I can't tell you how gatvol I am already. Is about 6 weeks now that I can't do anything at home07:33
mazalI have to drive to work just to go make a EFT payment07:34
magespawnai mazal, harsh07:34
mazalGranted it's not far but it's a schlep. Installs and updates I can't do at all07:34
magespawnyou must also be about the only person in sa who gets telkom but not the rest07:35
mazalAnd they are so useless they haven't even started with my cancellation which is also a month ago ordered already07:35
mazalThis country suck07:35
mazalmagespawn: Is cos Telkom is the only one with a tower close by07:36
thatgraemeguythe country is pretty ok, it sounds like that little piece where you live does suck pretty badly though07:36
mazalWell their head office that does the admin is certainly not here and thet can't even do their work07:37
mazalThe managers that must do purchase planning is also not here and they can also not do their work07:37
mazalPathetic incompetance07:38
