| 09:57.51 | Armand | How are you today, Leeds? |
| 09:58.03 | Leeds | not too bad |
| 09:58.09 | Armand | Cool |
| 09:58.22 | Leeds | you? |
| 09:58.31 | Armand | erm.. mostly ok. |
| 09:58.42 | Armand | I had to move out of my mum's house. >_< |
| 09:59.01 | Leeds | me too... about 14 years ago |
| 09:59.16 | Armand | lol |
| 09:59.36 | Armand | I should have stayed out... about 14 years ago. :P |
| 10:01.09 | Leeds | so why did you have to move out? |
| 10:02.26 | Armand | Lack of employment.. lack of interest in finding employment, etc, etc.. |
| 10:03.05 | cpufreak | stop being a stoner, and you might get a job |
| 10:03.24 | Armand | hahahaha |
| 10:03.34 | Armand | fair point, but no. :D |
| 10:03.52 | Armand | I'm working with my brother now, and he smokes more than I do.. |
| 10:37.03 | z00dax | the SouthEast is turning into a bit of Baltimore |
| 10:37.11 | Armand | O_o |
| 10:37.33 | z00dax | i think its been about 3 kids killed per month ? |
| 10:37.40 | z00dax | and 1 per week for the last few weeks |

| 12:43.20 | Armand | How's you? |
| 12:43.38 | DiscordianUK | I'm okay, you? |
| 12:43.52 | Armand | so-so.. had to move to my dad's house. >_< |
| 12:44.02 | DiscordianUK | is happy with my F9 install |
| 12:44.23 | Armand | O_O |
| 12:44.27 | Armand | You bitch. :P |
| 12:44.40 | Armand | I've got the ISO waiting on this machine.. |
| 12:44.43 | DiscordianUK | Finally except for a silly problem |
| 12:44.49 | Armand | ? |
| 12:44.56 | DiscordianUK | which is with Vmware not F9 |
| 12:45.33 | DiscordianUK | Installing the VMware tools on Windows 2000 pro breaks it |
| 12:45.39 | Armand | O_o |
| 12:45.52 | Armand | Not something I have to worry about.. but still. |
| 12:46.16 | DiscordianUK | I tried twice about 3am-4am |
| 12:47.09 | Armand | I loaded mine on VirtualBox, on WinXP. Only one issue. |
| 12:48.04 | Armand | Screen res... it wants to run higher than 1024x768 and I can't change it. |
| 12:48.38 | DiscordianUK | You may find http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-fedora9-gnome useful |
| 12:49.04 | Armand | I use KDE. |
| 12:49.10 | DiscordianUK | I find it's stuck at 1024x768 runinng native |
| 12:49.55 | Armand | hhmmm |
| 12:50.28 | Armand | off-topic for a sec.. |
| 12:50.36 | DiscordianUK | despite running happily at 1280x1024 under F8 |
| 12:50.42 | Armand | O_o |
| 12:50.57 | DiscordianUK | Go on |
| 12:50.59 | hali | DiscordianUK: does f9 run compiz by default? |
| 12:51.11 | Armand | I just traced an IP, in Hayes (where I am now).. and the signal was routed via Bristol! |
| 12:51.14 | DiscordianUK | You can enable it yes |
| 12:52.30 | DiscordianUK | system->prefences->look and feel->desktop effects |
| 12:55.56 | Armand | I need to find a blank CD. |
| 12:56.13 | Armand | can't see one, I give up. |
| 12:56.24 | Armand | :P |
| 12:57.02 | DiscordianUK | can see plenty but that's not helpful |
| 12:57.08 | DiscordianUK | maybe a CDRW? |
| 12:57.36 | Armand | Well, I do have one set aside for test.. but it got packed into a box when I moved. |
| 12:58.09 | DiscordianUK | keeps a CDRW and a DVDRW in my laptop bag |
| 12:58.26 | Armand | My laptop is in the loft now. |
| 12:58.57 | DiscordianUK | this is mine hooked up as a desktop atm |
| 12:59.15 | Armand | Mine is borked. :( |
| 12:59.39 | Armand | Still, might save for an Asus EEE. |
| 13:00.10 | DiscordianUK | I'll pass on that I think |
| 13:00.47 | Armand | Looks nice, small, Linux.. what more do I need? :) |
| 13:00.54 | hali | wants to get rid of his dell inspiron 6400 ... core2duo, 2gb ram, 15.4" wide with 1680 res |
| 13:01.08 | hali | it gets a bit hot, that's the only downside |
| 13:01.15 | Armand | offers hali £27.. :P |
| 13:01.26 | hali | bit low |
| 13:01.28 | Armand | all I've got on me... ¬_¬ |
| 13:01.41 | hali | i wouldn't mind trading for a 17" dragtop |
| 13:01.47 | Armand | ? |

| 13:01.52 | DiscordianUK | Lol this is a core2 with 1gb and 15.4" but 1280x800 res |
| 13:02.14 | Armand | "dragtop" ?? is that a laptop dressed in women's clothes? |
| 13:02.41 | hali | a 17" isn't really suitable for laps... so not a laptop :) |
| 13:02.44 | DiscordianUK | something too heavy to leave the house with |
| 13:02.46 | hali | but you can drag it around |
| 13:03.04 | hali | luggablle |
| 13:03.21 | Armand | lol |
| 13:03.43 | DiscordianUK | Hmm I wonder if this'd boot from SD |
| 13:04.01 | Armand | Bit like my borked Dell then, which is only a 15" LCD.. but still weighs too much. |
| 13:06.30 | Armand | Well, matey has a shitload of CDs & DVDs, but he's not here right now. >_< |

| 16:35.40 | Clive | Hi |
| 16:36.08 | z00dax | hey Clive |
| 16:37.38 | z00dax | wonders where he might find a lawn mower for a day |
| 16:37.44 | Armand | z00dax: The laptop? |
| 16:37.59 | z00dax | Armand: yea, well you wanted to install f9 right ? |
| 16:38.19 | z00dax | just use your existing boot loader to start it. and put the iso on another machine nearby |
| 16:38.30 | z00dax | or if your swap parition is large enough, drop it in there |
| 16:38.39 | z00dax | if you have >=512MB of ram on the laptop |
| 16:38.43 | Armand | Nah.. laptop is in the loft at my dad's |
| 16:38.48 | Armand | and, it's 256MB >_< |
| 16:39.10 | Clive | f9 installs in 256Mb |
| 16:39.13 | Clive | slowly |
| 16:39.18 | Armand | I'm going to install on my old 120GB IDE on this PC.] |
| 16:57.10 | wethrin | z00dax: Your local tool hire shop should be able to help you |
| 16:57.42 | Clive | There used to be a NSS that did that in crayford |
| 16:57.48 | Clive | Closed now |
| 16:57.48 | z00dax | wethrin: think I'll just go buy one at the b&q, there are some decent flymo's for not that much, besides, If I have a mower, I might use it more than once a year |
| 16:59.01 | z00dax | which also means, i need to haul ass right about now, or its going to close |
| 16:59.05 | z00dax | be back later |
