No I mean like Squirrelmail for example should have a script to setup virtual domains its an easy script, useful script Thats just an example there are much better examples that I can't think of now but its the sort of little detail that makes debian debian like how grub has update-grub its huge! too bad its a bash script that lists /bin/sh :) noop colonel (arun@202.88.232.184) left irc: Ping timeout: 180 seconds colonel (~arun@202.88.232.184) joined #gnuenterprise. colonel (arun@202.88.232.184) left irc: Remote closed the connection ajmitch (~me@p31-max1.bal.ihug.co.nz) joined #gnuenterprise. reinhard (~rm@62.47.44.170) joined #gnuenterprise. hi reinhard morning alexey (alex@techkran.vladimir.ru) left irc: "[x]chat" alexey (alex@techkran.vladimir.ru) joined #gnuenterprise. ajmitch (me@p31-max1.bal.ihug.co.nz) left irc: "http://www.freedevelopers.net" sevik (seva@domino-web.kiev.ua) left irc: "[BX] I theenk I need a beeger box!" chillywilly_ (~danielb@d4.as29.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) joined #gnuenterprise. chillywilly (danielb@d47.as6.nwbl0.wi.voyager.net) left irc: Ping timeout: 180 seconds psu (psu@manorcon.demon.co.uk) joined #gnuenterprise.

I can step you through it if you'd like. what do you mean by 'in-place' Meaning the server stayes up while you replace all of the software that's running on it. you mean convert from rh to debian virtually on the fly? if this is doable someone should be making a tool to do it :) One of the services I offer to companies is converting from other Linux's to Debian on production machines with the only downtime being basically for a reboot. It's a little too complicated to do with a tool, since configuration files sometimes have to move, and stuff. im just nervous (only reason i havent moved this machine yet) but this prospect sounds very interesting probably will require about 3 hours to back my data up first as i hope to copy a 6 gig drive in entirity to my server 'just in case' Backups are always good. =) yeah i can backup the data so im not so worried about that im more worried that i will have troubles getting things to work in debian 'in a timely manner' generally more than one day down time on my laptop would be torturous What version of redhat are you running? 6.2 btw: you ever install debian on an alpha box? There will be some adjustment then. RH7 was the first FHS compliant version. i would love to convert my alpha box to debian derek: Nope. Is that what your laptop is? it has no data i care about, so it would just be a straight install What's on it now? redhat 5.0 Ouch. =) so probably easier to pitch redhat and just start from scratch i like NEVER use it so im not worried about downtime on it Hmmm. i want to pick up some more memory and make it a computer for the wifey out in the kitchen its one of the little 'dec multia's' nice little machine Well, if you're not planning on doing that install anytime soon, I might like to do the conversion on it just for the experience on an alpha system. btw: as much as i complain on it, i actually in some ways like using source :) jbailey: would work for me psu (psu@manorcon.demon.co.uk) joined #gnuenterprise. i have to buy a video cable so i can put it on my switch box well i dont have to i suppose but it would make life easier derek: Especially if I screw it up, since I'm more likely to get the bootloader or the network card driver wrong. brb: have to go shower you be around in an hour or so? Action: derek wonders if he should start his back up rather than fight getting libcurl installed here Nope, but email will work. I'm setting something up for the kids at church today then seeing LoTR again... =) well i will start my backup and maybe can catch you some time next week? or tomorrow apt-getting rsync now Action: derek hugs apt Yeah, that'll work.

No. You can use any language for which you are able to find or build a serialization mechanism. In languages where you can directly access the system's memory and if the business objects are held in a specific memory segment, you can also write that segment out to the snapshot file instead of using serialization. badum bum chee write it ;) damn no irc channel for the project at least not on here OK I am stuck ok read it it is sorta "different" how do I get apt-get to install a .deb off floppy when I don't have a packages list yet? you do dpkg -i package.deb ;) you don't you apt fair enuf you do it the dirty way by hand ;) and resovle dependencies by hand chillywilly: not sure if it is really something new i.e., you beocme apt ;P imho it's nothing more than a readahead object cache allegedly, there are no dependancies ;-) reinhard: well for bug system you will need a ton o ram big psu: good with a readahead rate of 100% or so i would be curious how long a system with 8 GB of Data would take to start you wouldn't have to start it...it would be always running unless youlost power for what ammteurs use most rdbms for nowadays it'd be good though then it would take th eprevios state and redo the commands in the commdn log thing is your objects need to be deterministic it still is sorta goofy in that it would rewuire a crap load of ram you notice how he first start it out by saying how cheap memory is? ;P heh I don't want determinstic classes, I want quantum classes heheh it can hop states? well its non-deterministic at least class initialization depends on the phase of the moon quantum state of a decaying radiation source your mom heh what do you want that for? that's like truly random isn't it? you can build a true random number generator with quantum computing No, bu replaying the transactions won't reproduce the same result how is that a good thing? it fouls up the wonky storage system. you just want to have chaos computing don't you? self mutating applications that'd be cool hehe but my vision of object paradigm is one of objects that are black boxes isn't most programming deterministic to begin with? what they do inside is anyone's guess!

This error is a sign that you are on shakey ground. If the device is already activated, and you are running isapnp for the first time, then some other program has already activated the device (may be the BIOS, or some of the cleverer kernel drivers). You probably shouldn't be attempting to configure the device at all.
