Where "serveraddr" is the IP address of the tftp server, and "netaddr" is a static IP for the SGI machine. I haven't tried this personally, so can't vouch for it.
You can pass kernel parameters by including them at the end of the bootp() command.
Might as well mention this, since we've otherwise described the process farily well in this thread.
Yeah, I've used both methods. The first time around, the guy who left the SGI box on the street wasn't thoughtful enough to leave the monitor sitting next to it;)
The second one a friend brought me a throwaway from Berkeley that had a monitor. It made everything nice and easy the second time 'round.
FYI, there is exactly the cable you need inside every IMac, connected to the IR port. A friend dropped off a dead one recently:)
I've installed debian on 2 boxes. You need some other unixy box to start with where you:
1) Make sure tftpd is installed. Put the 'tftpboot.img' in the tftp root (check/etc/xinetd tftp entry to find out where the root is) Also install the tftp client so you can `tftp localhost` then 'get tftpboot.img' to make sure you have access to the file.
2) Install dhcpd. Give the SGI box an entry like this:
Agreed, I noticed the same thing just yesterday. My search was for "ProStar memory installation", and I get dozens of sites which are on the face different, but all point to the same memory dealer.
It was very difficult to find any actual information about this laptop (other than the marketing crap on the ProStar site) on which I had to perform maintenance. In the end, I gave up the search entirely and just relied on my instincts (which turned out just fine, thanks).
Is this the $5000 consultants trick? Buy up dozens of semi-related domain names, use a bit of XSLT to make them slightly different, and then tweak the content for your clients? Not only is this very shady, it is going to reduce the effectiveness of Google dramatically:(
Agreed. My father is a lobbiest (at the state level, not national), and you would not believe some of the crap they pull. I remember one case where he said he called up all the congressmen's wives and told them the were going to have a hard time finding opera tickets if a bill which directly affected Ticketmaster went into effect. Needless to say, the bill was quickly and mercilessly squashed.
If the SCO team can convince congress that this bill somehow might affect their own lives personally, this could mean big trouble...
On the other hand, though, the claims they are making are ridiculous, and they have yet to prove in court that they actually do own part of the Linux code. Perhaps congress will wait for the outcome of the trial before proceeding.
JT's story apparently has 20 or so similarities to the plot of "Alas, Babylon", a book written in 1959. OK one or two similarities with a book plot I could count as coincidence, but 20? Get real. This is a nicely executed troll, nothing more. Stop wasting your time.
As Gandalf would say, "I have pity on him, as I do for all slaves of Sauron."
Anyhow, the purpose of Saruman's character in the end, to my mind, is to show how far the four hobbits had grown since leaving the Shire in the first place. Very easily, they manage to rouse their friends and neighbors into action immediately upon returning, and bring about Sharkey's end. Since Jackson plans no scouring chapter, Saruman's tale has pretty much entirely been told, except for the loss of the Palantir. It remains to be seen how (or if at all) Jackson handles that.
Yes, except my patch has 2 features that I wanted or I wouldn't have bothered. First, ALT-ENTER minimizes X from anywhere. Also, I built a remote control shared-memory app called 'minimize.exe' that can minimize from a button click or whatever.
No, it doesn't yet... I don't have the hardware. This is a potential project goal though and I have been keeping my eye out for a second monitor that I can afford.
I thought about just making one huge window that spans all monitors, but that may be a big hack. I'd rather wait to look into that until I can actually test it.
I've been trying to figure out how to get this fullscreen patch for Cygwin/X into the dist, but the xfree86 dev list tells me to submit to bugzilla. So what, I'm supposed to invent a bug and then solve it? Its a new feature and it would be nice to have a real place to discuss and enhance it (the xfree86 dev list is very aloof and hasn't been kind to me at all as a newbie x developer). I think it's a good move for Cygwin...
You know, there have been several articles on/. regarding the fact that many predictions about the future of technology just haven't come to be.
I really think we have lost sight of what's truly important. Forget about moving sidewalks and flying cars, this device is getting pretty close to my utopian future vision... a video on demand device that will hold every Dr. Who episode.
The dream of a lifetime for you and me, pretty near statistically insignificant for Microsoft.
Funny you should mention that, my mother-in-law is one of the 100 private Eolas investors:P
Although this news is great, there is still quite a fight ahead. An appellate judge will decide in the upcoming weeks if the appeal has merrit. If so, it could drag on for years. In that case, Microsoft will likely settle for much less. The one thing I noticed about the trial that might give MS grounds for appeal is the trial judge instructed the jury not to weigh testimony from Pei Wei, a fellow who claims to have prior art. If the judge handled that innapropriately, MS could have grounds for appeal.
It could go either way for MS, though and they may get spanked harder than you think. This is only one of several cases. Eolas is also filing separate suits against MS for Windows sales between 2001 and present day and sales before the scope of the current trial. Also, other makers of browsers and plug-ins may find themselves involved in litigation with Eolas very soon!
The EFF has just begun a pro file-sharing. It is an awareness campaign which effectively cuts the RIAA out of the loop, called "Let The Music Play". Details here.
I said exactly this last time/. posted this story, and now I've actually automated similar systems, so I'll repeat it more loudly this time. OK Mr. Kelly, are you listening?
watermark your images
You can create yourself an action in Photoshop, or there's at least two very good free software packages that can do the same thing (Gimp and ImageMagick). If you don't want the whole world grabbing your images,
don't publish them on the web
at least, not without putting some kind of protection in front of them.
There are well known solutions to this guys problem, and he choses the courts?! I guess that's really the American way:(
XML transformation pipeline
on
PHP 5 Beta 1
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I have always wanted PHP to have an XSLT based transformation pipeline, similar to what Apache Cocoon has. I would like to be able to write source documents in XML, arbitrarily transform XML into HTML and PHP, interpret the PHP, possibly transform again and finally output the results. I know I could build this top-down from within a single PHP document, but I'd like this pipeline to be a part of the mod_php distribution, with the.XML file extension mapped to the pipeline processor.
Anyone wanna help me build it?
I don't mind working hard....

As long as it's either intellectually or monitarily fulfilling. I just wrote a long story about an all-hours project here, and despite some pain, I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience. One thing I didn't note in the article is that later that year my salary made a HUGE jump... the hard work paid off.
Don't crush up and sniff that Ritalin. It has similar effects as cocaine, and is almost as addictive. My mom sure wondered why I went through a bottle a week! The "lost my perscription bottle" excuse only works so many times;)
Tequila is mezcal, a strong alcoholic beverage, made in an area near the town of Tequila, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. All tequila is mezcal, what makes tequila different, is the region it is made in and the fact that tequila is made from agave Webber also called blue agave, and agave tequilana. Tequila is required to be 51% agave, the remainder is usually corn or cane sugar. There is however, tequilas made from 100% agave. The finest tequilas are always 100% blue agave.
So, there probably is some corn in there, but it is not the main ingredient which is agave.

Sounds similar in concept, though from the review, it seems to me like the Zero book is a lighter read.
We have left out the last step!
In order to kickstart the install, once you have access to the command monitor and the above software installed:
bootp():tftpboot.img
You may be able to leave DHCP out of the picture and use:
setenv netaddr mynetaddr
bootp()serveraddr:tftpboot.img
Where "serveraddr" is the IP address of the tftp server, and "netaddr" is a static IP for the SGI machine. I haven't tried this personally, so can't vouch for it.
You can pass kernel parameters by including them at the end of the bootp() command.

I've installed debian on 2 boxes. You need some other unixy box to start with where you:
/etc/xinetd tftp entry to find out where the root is) Also install the tftp client so you can `tftp localhost` then 'get tftpboot.img' to make sure you have access to the file.
:/` in my bootparams file.
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range.
1) Make sure tftpd is installed. Put the 'tftpboot.img' in the tftp root (check
2) Install dhcpd. Give the SGI box an entry like this:
host babybox {
hardware ethernet nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn;
fixed-address 192.168.0.51;
}
You can get your hardware ethernet address in the boot command monitor on the SGI.
3) You may need bootparamd, but I can't figure out exactly what it's doing. I just put `192.168.0.51 =
4) There are 2 odd instructions on debian site that are necessary if you're installing using the 2.4 linux kernel as host:
echo 1 >
and
echo "2048 32767" >
Hope this helps!
