I agree to... but maybe a little more "Pretty" :-)

But functionality is sometimes better then appearance

Site Suggestions, Requests, and Updates / Spammers At The Forum?

« on: November 13, 2007, 05:59:28 pm »

A day or two ago, I reported two identical posts advertisng new mobile phones I think.
They were both authored by the same member, who had joined the same day and had a total of 2 posts.
I think one was in the For Sale/Wanted thread, and the other was in one of the  SL-5500 threads.

Regards,
Doug

Yea... I deleted them 2

  You Devil you! You also deleted the post before one of the spams!! It was one of mine!  

Cheers

Huh? I deleted your post?

Well if you did the deleting in the pinned thread about kdepimpi in the software thread then my post has gone also!   I replied to uth's post about being able to run the kdepimpi stuff on modern desktop distros and referred to alijames's comment about the compiling issue. The next post after mine was one of these cheesy spammers quoting my post and pretending to be answering it!  

Not to fuss: my deathless prose is worth sacrificing to kill a spammer...  Especially with my breathless lack of commas!

I apologize...

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Kernel Headers For R198

If I believe correctly... you have build the full kernel... then once the kernel is fully built... you can package the headers

Software / Sfdisk Partitioning Question

« on: October 30, 2007, 10:48:35 am »

Hello,

I need to partition SD cards from a shell script using sfdisk, but don't know how to to that in a safe way.

No matter what the size of the SD card is, I would like to create a 128MB SWAP partition at the END of the card (i.e. as the second partition /dev/mmcda2) and the remaining space at the beginning (/dev/mmcda1) needs to be linux ext2.

I have used something like

Code: [Select]

sfdisk /dev/mmcda -uM << EOF
,128,S,
,,L,*
;
EOF
in order to achieve the opposite, i.e. 128MB swap as partition 1 and Linux ext2 as parition 2.

Any idea how to use sfdisk to achieve what I really need?
Thanks a lot!
Daniel

Just wondering why you want it at the END of the card?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Multi-boot Using Uboot

« on: October 28, 2007, 11:30:10 am »

I mean... adding a configuration to the maintenance menu (text based gui) that say... "default boot rootfs" "NAND" "SD" "Internal HD" "External HD"

But I believe uboot can do what you ask but I think when sashz set up UBoot is suppresses the timeout for the boot menu... not 100% sure of that though.

what do you mean a "new" uboot...

Well one thing I would like to do is give the user the option of where the default rootfs is booted from, from the emergency console... but that is still a work in progress.

I havent played with fvwm so really couldnt point you in the correct direction, but I would have to look at fvwm to determine the issue... I'm busying gettin pdaXrom 2.0 squared away so I dont know when I would have a chance to look at it... Hopefully one of the other devs or community members can pop in and give you some advise.
