| 00:12.22 | ScytheBlade1 | eww, that's dirty |
| 00:12.34 | ScytheBlade1 | NTLDR hard-codes the partition it was installed to |
| 00:18.00 | ScytheBlade1 | Anyone know of a way to change the partition table order via fdisk? |
| 00:27.56 | fozzmoo | The "order"? |
| 00:28.23 | ScytheBlade1 | fdisk /dev/hda --> n --> {1,2,3,4} |
| 00:28.42 | ScytheBlade1 | You can place partition 2 at the end of the disk, and 4 at the beginning |
| 00:28.52 | fozzmoo | Whoa. I had no idea. :) |
| 00:28.58 | fozzmoo | I guess I don't know the answer. |
| 00:29.04 | ScytheBlade1 | But the only way to change them is fdisk's 'x,f' to set the order in squential order |
| 00:29.10 | ScytheBlade1 | I need to change 2 to 1 and 1 to 2 |
| 00:29.27 | fozzmoo | I'd use that gparted. |
| 00:29.35 | ScytheBlade1 | Can it do that? |
| 00:29.44 | fozzmoo | possibly. |
| 00:29.57 | ScytheBlade1 | I shall try then |

| 04:09.13 | ScytheBlade1 | I need the help of an oldschool MBR guru.. I need to manually change the MBR to renumber a partition |
| 04:15.54 | levi_home | Bad time to ask for gurus. |
| 04:16.07 | ScytheBlade1 | ? |
| 04:16.20 | ScytheBlade1 | I just need to manually re-write a portion of my MBR ;P |
| 04:16.24 | levi_home | Not too many people are around. |
| 04:16.44 | ScytheBlade1 | Oh, heh, yeah fair enough |
| 04:16.46 | levi_home | Google is probably your best bet at the moment. |
| 04:16.57 | phinux | Or PLUG mailing list |
| 04:17.10 | ScytheBlade1 | I've honestly never touched a utah-related mailing list |
| 04:17.26 | ScytheBlade1 | And I've already got the MBR format in front of me, just working on cracking it |
| 04:17.47 | ScytheBlade1 | Due to the enviroment, I get to write to files and dd it to the drive with offset= to fix it |
| 04:18.05 | ScytheBlade1 | Luckily, it should only be a single byte that needs changed, and I backed it up first, so hey |
| 04:18.08 | levi_home | Sounds reasonable. |
| 04:18.31 | ScytheBlade1 | It should be easy once I can find the offset I need to change |

| 04:20.52 | ScytheBlade1 | Ha |
| 04:20.52 | ScytheBlade1 | Got it |
| 04:22.35 | goozbach | good job |
| 04:22.41 | goozbach | fdisk wouldn't help? |
| 04:22.46 | ScytheBlade1 | Nope |
| 04:23.00 | goozbach | there's a "renumber things" option hidden somewheres in the advanced mode |
| 04:23.02 | ScytheBlade1 | fdisk can't manually renumber the entries in the MBR into an out of order state |
| 04:23.05 | ScytheBlade1 | yeah, it fixes it |
| 04:23.07 | ScytheBlade1 | I need it broken |
| 04:23.10 | goozbach | ahh |
| 04:23.32 | goozbach | manuall mbr modification |
| 04:23.36 | goozbach | you got guts kid |

| 04:23.48 | maquis | @#$%!!!!!!! |
| 04:23.49 | ScytheBlade1 | fdisk's expert mode printed it out |
| 04:23.59 | goozbach | cool |

| 04:24.12 | ScytheBlade1 | echo and dd |

| 04:24.58 | maquis | levi_home: sorry... but... my project has to be turned in in svn tonight by midnight |
| 04:25.09 | maquis | i have a little bit left to do on it (because nobody else will do this stuff) |
| 04:25.10 | levi_home | Ooh... fun. |
| 04:25.14 | maquis | and it won't commit |
| 04:25.19 | levi_home | Why not? |
| 04:25.19 | goozbach | ~\o |
| 04:25.31 | maquis | it claims that a file isn't up to date |
| 04:25.38 | maquis | but when i update, it says i'm already up to date |
| 04:25.50 | maquis | and it also claims that a file is already in the repository, but it's not |
| 04:26.05 | levi_home | Have you tried doing a fresh checkout, copying your files over, and comitting? |
| 04:26.06 | maquis | so, i'm re-checking out and hopeing that i can figure stuff out |
| 04:26.16 | maquis | levi_home: :) |
| 04:26.23 | maquis | it's still checking out |
| 04:26.30 | levi_home | I've had CVS do that before, but not svn. |
| 04:26.56 | maquis | i've had problems with svn before, but those were more things like the repository getting corrupted |
| 04:27.02 | maquis | (and this had *better* not be that |
| 04:27.29 | maquis | or i'll trudge over to wherever neverblock hosts, and have a little "chat" with that server) |

| 07:29.57 | fozzmoo | beandog: Yeah- a little rage clouding your senses there in the blog. |
| 07:30.20 | beandog | that and it being 1 in the morning |
| 07:30.24 | fozzmoo | I mean, I agree with you... |
| 07:30.35 | beandog | its totally disjointed though. |
| 07:30.35 | fozzmoo | Just ragey. :) |
| 07:30.37 | fozzmoo | Yeah. |
| 07:31.07 | beandog | well my first draft I was ripping on him a little harder, and then I toned it down, and now its 50% funny, 50% serious. |
| 07:31.08 | fozzmoo | I don't own an iPod. Never will, if I have anythig to say about it. |
| 07:31.09 | beandog | so ... whatever. |
| 07:31.12 | beandog | :) |
| 07:31.42 | fozzmoo | I have owned several other portable music devices- the most recently being an iAudio X5. |
| 07:31.45 | beandog | well I absolutely detest itunes myself, but the ipod is a great mp3 player. |
| 07:31.55 | fozzmoo | I won't own one that doesn't play Ogg or FLAC formats. |
| 07:32.10 | beandog | yah, someday when Im feeling bold, Ill try and put linux on there. |
| 07:32.33 | fozzmoo | Heh. I think tene was experimenting with putting Linux on his X5. |
| 07:32.36 | beandog | get some ogg love. |
| 07:32.53 | fozzmoo | No, it wasn't Linux... it was that open source firmware. |
| 07:33.04 | fozzmoo | tene: Did you ever do that? |
| 07:33.42 | fozzmoo | Rockbox I think it was called. |
| 07:33.58 | beandog | oh, right .. that sounds familiar |
| 07:34.04 | beandog | Rockbox is an open source replacement firmware for mp3 players. It runs on a number of different models: |
| 07:34.16 | beandog | wow, runs on a lot of stuff. |
| 07:34.17 | beandog | nice. |
| 07:34.41 | beandog | http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/WhyRockbox |
| 07:34.54 | beandog | I'm sold. |
| 07:34.57 | fozzmoo | :) |
| 07:35.00 | tene | I didn't ever do it |
| 07:35.06 | fozzmoo | Oh yeah? |
| 07:35.21 | fozzmoo | It looks like they love the iAudio- more support for it than anything else. |
| 07:35.22 | tene | didn't get around to it |
| 07:37.15 | fozzmoo | Hmmm. I want to do it now. |
| 07:37.48 | fozzmoo | I had no idea RockBox supported the iPod line. |
| 07:37.50 | fozzmoo | Awesome. |

| 20:41.16 | mheath[laptop] | The thing is, while I'm in boot camp and going through infantry training, I'll be making about $1,200 a month with literally nothing to spend it on. I was considering using that as a down payment for a car. |
