12:44.43DiscordianUKFinally except for a silly problem
12:44.49Armand?
12:44.56DiscordianUKwhich is with Vmware not F9
12:45.33DiscordianUKInstalling the VMware tools on Windows 2000 pro breaks it
12:45.39ArmandO_o
12:45.52ArmandNot something I have to worry about.. but still.
12:46.16DiscordianUKI tried twice about 3am-4am
12:47.09ArmandI loaded mine on VirtualBox, on WinXP. Only one issue.
12:48.04ArmandScreen res... it wants to run higher than 1024x768 and I can't change it.
12:48.38DiscordianUKYou may find http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-fedora9-gnome useful
12:49.04ArmandI use KDE.
12:49.10DiscordianUKI find it's stuck at 1024x768 runinng native
12:49.55Armandhhmmm

12:50.42ArmandO_o
12:50.57DiscordianUKGo on
12:50.59haliDiscordianUK: does f9 run compiz by default?
12:51.11ArmandI just traced an IP, in Hayes (where I am now).. and the signal was routed via Bristol!
12:51.14DiscordianUKYou can enable it yes
12:52.30DiscordianUKsystem->prefences->look and feel->desktop effects
12:55.56ArmandI need to find a blank CD.
12:56.13Armandcan't see one, I give up.
12:56.24Armand:P
12:57.02DiscordianUKcan see plenty but that's not helpful
12:57.08DiscordianUKmaybe a CDRW?
12:57.36ArmandWell, I do have one set aside for test.. but it got packed into a box when I moved.
12:58.09DiscordianUKkeeps a CDRW and a DVDRW in my laptop bag
12:58.26ArmandMy laptop is in the loft now.
12:58.57DiscordianUKthis is mine hooked up as a desktop atm
12:59.15ArmandMine is borked. :(
12:59.39ArmandStill, might save for an Asus EEE.
13:00.10DiscordianUKI'll pass on that I think
13:00.47ArmandLooks nice, small, Linux.. what more do I need? :)
13:00.54haliwants to get rid of his dell inspiron 6400 ... core2duo, 2gb ram, 15.4" wide with 1680 res
13:01.08haliit gets a bit hot, that's the only downside

13:01.41halii wouldn't mind trading for a 17" dragtop
13:01.47Armand?
13:01.51*** join/#gllug jdavies (n=jpds@ubuntu/member/jdavies)
13:01.52DiscordianUKLol this is a core2 with 1gb and 15.4" but 1280x800 res
13:02.14Armand"dragtop" ?? is that a laptop dressed in women's clothes?
13:02.41halia 17" isn't really suitable for laps... so not a laptop :)
13:02.44DiscordianUKsomething too heavy to leave the house with
13:02.46halibut you can drag it around
13:03.04haliluggablle
13:03.21Armandlol
13:03.43DiscordianUKHmm I wonder if this'd boot from SD
13:04.01ArmandBit like my borked Dell then, which is only a 15" LCD.. but still weighs too much.
13:06.30ArmandWell, matey has a shitload of CDs & DVDs, but he's not here right now. >_<

16:38.30z00daxor if your swap parition is large enough, drop it in there
