00:41.36watcheri want to move most of my OZ off the root..  what dir's is it safe to move off??
00:42.06watcheri understand i should bind over the real dirs.
00:42.36watcher/opt/ /lib/ ..... /usr/ ???
00:49.18watcherheya kergoth !:)
00:49.34kergothhey
00:49.47kergothi'd recommend opt, since thats where opie is.
00:49.56kergoththe rest i'd leave alone unless you need it
00:50.22watcheri reflashed back to 3.3.5 ATM..   which dir's are safe to move off of root and bind overtop the "real" ones??
00:50.22kergothi would -not- recommend /lib, too critical
00:50.25watcherkk
00:50.29kergothusr could be, as long as you bind.
00:50.37kergothearly startup scripts need [, etc, from /usr/bin/
00:50.49kergothso the symlink method would make the system unbootable
00:50.50kergothheh
00:51.27watchernot a problem, my CF is handy :)
00:51.51kergothso yeah, if you're gonna bind, stick to /usr and /opt, imho.
00:53.42watcherkk..   mebbe you know a better way,  I'm trying to figure out how to make packages install and be usable to the system..  I've been working under the concept of installing to "root" / , but with the symlinks/binds, it would really go elsewhere.
00:55.12kergoth<PROTECTED>
00:55.27kergothbut i know lots of people do what you're doing and have it work fine that way
00:57.01watcherI've become fixated on the "smoke and mirrors" way of doing it..  because it's a feature of linux you can't do with M$'s OS's with ANYWHERE NEAR  the easye:)
00:58.59watcherhehe..   link to root option does what you say you do??
00:59.30kergothyes. every file in the package installed to the other location gets symlinked to /
01:00.58watchercool..  that will work....   now i just need to get it to see the fedd servers :-/

03:07.19SetzerHio. So I'm trying to flash my 5600, with oz 3.3.5  And well, it was running for around 3hrs.  The mail/power lights just kept flashing.  So I'm thinking osmething is not right here... (since the instructions say it should only take minutes.)
03:08.09SetzerAny pointers on why this would be happening?
03:09.08MG_Takyou're probably following the instructions for the 5500
03:09.43SetzerAh.
03:10.52SetzerI don't see any 5600 specific instructions.  
03:13.12MG_TakI've seen them somewhere
03:13.15MG_Takcan't seem to recall where
03:14.50MG_Takbasically, you have to remove the battery cover, hit the reset button, then hit "okay" and "on" at the same time
03:15.06MG_Takand select "update", then "CF" if you have a cf card or sd if you have sd
03:15.19MG_Takon your card, you need updater.sh, zImage and initrd.bin
03:16.44*** join/#openzaurus Luke-Jr (~luke-jr@balthasar.rh.rit.edu)
03:16.47Setzerokie. I have the zImage and initrd.bin on the cf, know nothing about an updater.sh file though.
03:17.22MG_Taklook it up
03:18.26MG_Takhttp://www.openzaurus.org/official/
03:18.33MG_Takit's in most of the poodle/5600 directories
03:19.33Setzerah
03:20.43Setzerah. it also says not to use this version.
03:20.46Setzerhrml.
03:20.58trekeyou can ignore that iirc
03:21.14MG_Taktreke: ignore what?
03:21.19Setzeroh, it's fixed?
03:21.22trekethe file that says dont use.
03:21.36trekeI think it's ancient :)
03:22.00Setzerit's the same timestamp as all the other files
03:22.22trekeoh well. Worst it can do is not work
03:22.52Setzeryeah. and since I'm flahsing anyways... not like I'm losing anything
03:27.22Setzerokie. here it goes. it's updating.
03:27.28SetzerThanks people.
03:37.10watchergrrr,,  temporary failure in name resolution..    it doesn't come with standard settings for resolv.conf??
03:37.28trekeno.
03:37.30kergothuh? theres no such thing
03:37.40kergothits by definition specific to your environment
03:38.31watchernot often for me..  i had a set burned into my brain from 1yr+ as a analog dialup tech supp
03:42.38Luke-Jrkergoth: there are public servers...
03:46.01watcher....... is the resolv.conf jsut a placeholder??    or is there a good reason to have nameserver 127.0.0.1 on a PDA??
03:46.06kergothyes, there are.  and most of them are worthless.
03:46.19kergothits a placeholder. we dont ship a caching dns server on localhost
03:47.21watcherthx..  at least you answer reliably,  which is more than i can say for my other main distro's chan
03:50.50watchergrrrr...  
03:51.21trekestop doing that kergoth
03:51.31kergothoops
03:55.38watchersilly networking..   manually editing resolv.conf still got failures, going O,Settings,Network, and putting DNS's there worked..

05:09.30kergothLuke-Jr: yep.  but putting anything external in resolv.conf is making assumptions. 1) they have a network connection at all, 2) they have routing to get to the net, and nat or whatever is necessary to get connectivity back.. etc
05:09.32trekeIf it works for you, great. OZ doesnt ship with one as a default
05:09.36kergothyep
05:09.56Luke-Jrkergoth: could have em commented by default
05:10.04kergothfor what?
05:10.06kergoththats pointless
