| 00:22.16 | Hanuman | hans - you still in here? |
| 00:23.14 | Hanuman | I tried the bf24, and definitely had more kernel options, more drivers, etc., but this time there was no sis900 driver in there. On the 2.2 kernel there is, but it doesn't work. |
| 00:23.49 | Hanuman | I did try doing a compact, and it worked, but not really. I think the driver may not have been right or not configured correctly with that kernel |

| 00:31.16 | synic_ | yo |
| 00:40.16 | Hanuman | yo |
| 00:40.23 | Hanuman | Are you a Debian user? |
| 00:40.29 | synic_ | nah |
| 00:40.31 | Hanuman | (by chance?) |
| 00:40.35 | Hanuman | darn it |
| 00:41.07 | synic_ | I would be just a gentoo user if my laptop was a bit faster |
| 00:41.17 | Hanuman | I'm a redhat user as well - ever tried fedora? |
| 00:41.24 | synic_ | fedora? |
| 00:41.38 | synic_ | I don't believe I have heard of it. |
| 00:41.45 | Hanuman | yeah - it's redhat's new community-based building project |
| 00:41.48 | Hanuman | fedora.redhat.com |
| 00:42.10 | Hanuman | many say it wil be very similar to debian |
| 00:42.33 | synic_ | will be? so it's just starting up then? |
| 00:42.59 | Hanuman | it's been around for awhile evidently - I've never used it |
| 00:43.10 | Hanuman | Red Hat has used many of their contributions for awhile now |
| 00:43.21 | Hanuman | If I understand correctly |
| 00:44.10 | Hanuman | I've been trying to install Debian for the first time today, but can't seem to get my NIC to be recognized on this computer |
| 00:44.16 | Hanuman | its an SIS900 |
| 00:44.16 | synic_ | any of the UUG users using it yet? |
| 00:44.22 | Hanuman | not sure |
| 00:45.00 | synic_ | it won't recognize it, or the module doesn't load? |
| 00:45.39 | Hanuman | module won't load |
| 00:45.50 | Hanuman | 2.4 kernel doesn't even list the module during install |
| 00:46.04 | Hanuman | I'm about to try Redhat to see how it fairs under Redhat |
| 00:46.33 | synic_ | I would like redhat even more than gentoo if apt-rpm had more packages... |
| 00:46.47 | Hanuman | I'm much more familiar with redhat anyway |
| 00:47.56 | synic_ | do you use apt-get in redhat? |
| 00:49.39 | Hanuman | I have in the past - I prefer to just manually download my rpms or install from source |
| 00:50.08 | Hanuman | I might try it this install, though |
| 00:50.11 | synic_ | hrmm. I get caught in the dependancy trap |
| 00:50.28 | Hanuman | Yeah - I'm thinking I might use it more this time |
| 00:50.39 | Hanuman | I'd like to look into yum as well |
| 00:51.04 | Hanuman | bbl - I'm going to try to install fedora |
| 00:51.26 | synic_ | ok, you'll have to let me know how it goes |
| 01:21.04 | Hanuman | well, that didn't work |
| 01:21.18 | Hanuman | it gets to the install process and says a setup file is missing |
| 01:21.41 | Hanuman | There's an updated release due beginning of October - maybe I'll try again then |
| 01:21.54 | Hanuman | I think I'll stick w/ Redhat 9 for now |

| 02:12.59 | hans | Hanuman: the bf24 flavor doesn't have all the network drivers in the same place, alas |
| 02:13.10 | hans | although most are, you might make sure you didn't miss it somewhere else. |
| 02:14.07 | hans | it wouldn't surprise me too much if the module's not there, though, considering SiS is trash. (speaking from experience) Not that that's an excuse, but it makes me feel good to rag on SiS. ;-) |
| 02:15.02 | hans | If the module is there (and this goes for the 2.2.19 flavor too) then it's not a debian problem but a hardware/kernel problem. |
