Internet Explorer is dynamically linked. (thus.dll). But that should not be an issue if you use a free OS right?
It might be good to note that most linux netscapes in most current distrubtions are statically linked. This is to help with compatiblity problems (Motif) and speed (yes it could be faster).
If your patching the kernel inside/usr/src/linux Then instead of patch -p0 above, use patch -p1
That's all. (Remember all offical kernel patch releases are incremenatal patches - so you have to patch one after the other).
EG: if you have kernel 2.2.1 and wish to go up to 2.2.5. You have to patch your current kernel, to 2.2.2, 2.2.3, 2.2.4, 2.2.5 in that order.
Good luck.

ftpX.us.kernel.org (patches vs fat tarball)
on
Linux 2.2.5 Released
·
· Score: 1
I just went through all 14 of the ftpX.us.kernel.org, it seems like half of them still havent got kernel 2.2.5. The ones who got the kernel seem only to have the fat tar ball (10 meg download).
My suggestion to kernel ftp mainterns would be to download the patch before downloading the tar ball. Since most ppl visit your fpt servers to get the patches and not the full load. It might be a wise suggestion to hold the full tar ball 24 hours before releasing (since it would be bound to cause a lot of bandwidth problems).
I was wondering if Q3a would be compiled against Mesa3.x. Since I've been sucessful in running Mesa based application fulls screen on my permedia2 based opengl card under linux. This was using Mesa3.x and mlx (ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/3d/devel/).
I have tried (but failed) at trying to run q2 with my own libs. Is q2 hardcoded to just Mesa2.6?
PS: I just tested out KingPin And oh boy! This is one "fscking" soild game. It's more gripping than Half-Life and has an extreemly soild game story. Not to mention the models seem to be almost real (And chicks rock!). The 100 mb demo is worth the download. Everyone get it!! --
Paraody is protected by the constitution if I'm not mistaken. If not, almost every joke make on Times, Newsweek, CNN and blah would have to be censored. This is totally insane.
If M$shit is behind this, I'd be deeply distressed. If they really think they can get away with soemthing of this nature, bill gates should be put behind bars. --
"Rather than withdraw the "Bruce is totally nuts" outburst, please think twice next time. I wrote a really even-toned letter and I wish the slashdot argument that followed it had been as even-toned. "
Seesh, Come on bruce, What did you expect when you posted your comment here ? Slashdot just like the net is full of people trying to find someone to flame. Usually it doesnt mean that we hate you or anything. Most of us admire you (seriously) - I for one think you did a good job at Debian. If you find a comment that is abusive and totally against you, just dont reply to it. People love flame wars:)
And just dont go away into nothingness just cause someone ticked you off in slashdot. It wouldnt be wrong to say that most of the people here appericate the work you have done and enjoy having you as a fellow slashdotter (I guess they just like to have fun:))
Actually "Bruce is totally nuts" was not for the letter, it was for the domain:)
"So nobody else would get it and use it to my detriment"
That sounds fair enough. It would still be more pleasing to our eyes if a big fat link to.org was put on.com:)
I just read your statement and would like to withdraw my "Bruce is totally nuts" outburst. Ahem.
Also, my initial posting got cut off, I was actually thanking the debian project and saying hi to Wichert Akkerman;) Goddamit.. lets release potato already.. (need kernel 2.2, Xfree87 3.3.3.x, glibc2.1 (oh yeah we have it already), and so on)
I've got a box running here with an uptime of 312 days (today) it hasent been rebooted since Hamm was installed sometime back in 1998. Over the months the box has been extensively updated and it's now running full potato and shows no signs of wear and tear. The kernel is 2.0.. but my ego over the near 1 year uptime just stops me from upgrading the kernel and doing the evil reboot.
Long live debian!
OH, btw dont change the logo, I love the cute ANIME penguin. It rocks more than anything that the gimp ppl came up in that contest. --
portal.. oh god.. i'd be so pissed if RH took control of it, or if SUSE got it, or if Debian smurfed it or if Slackware sucked it up or if stampede stomped on it.
At least a hardware site would not be biased and let them make a good portal. Though the Intel Alliance makes me get a bit worried about alternative x86 chips and non-x86 platform coverage.
But overall I trust VA research more than any of the other linux hardware companies. Good job guys. Let this be the site i mention to anyone interested in linux. I'm so sick of telling people to go over to linux.org
Hope to see the site up soon! May I suggest a portal like the moz directory effort? Smaller but somewhat like that with lots of linux related links and news articles. We could even make it an community effort! Think about it. Some of us cant code, but can write well! We would help! If it is for linux. --
What you see here is a racist-US-centric-halfwit posting by a bunch of Wannabe-cyberpunk-nerds who get off counting the number of hits on their pathatic web site.

Wonder what OS they would use on a Mars mission. Windows 2000? Um.. Windows 2002 + bug fixes and Visual Pack 3. Or would it be Windows Consumer + stablitiy kit (repartitions HD, installs one of the following OSes linux/solaris/*BSD and takes over the system).
What would martians say if they saw the advnaced user interfaces presented in windows 2000? My.. that's wayyyy too bluuuuuee (no wonder they are from the bluuuueee planet) --
The SGI site for Linux, I think it would be a good idea to modifiy this a bit and include it in here.. Very cool. Seems like tux is wearing an SGI t-shirt:) --
Yes, that's the only thing i can think about that we are lacking.. And in games.. i mean solid.. standard game engines.. which could be used as a basis for game designer (who actually make the game graphics, and music)... blah blah.. free the engine.. and let the arts do their job!
"I've seen people working on a 2.2.0 announcement, and I'm happy - I've been too busy to think straight, much less worry about details like that." Seems like he like he is backing up the press release draft.. So please dont flame ppl who are responsible for making one. BTW, I would like to thank woot on this. He's been doing a great job and Already the 7 th draft is out. Good job.. --
it handles a couple of million banners per week.... I'm assuming that Rob gets some money from these banners.. so at the rate of say 10% of the ppl clicking those banners.. Rob would be making a lot more than most of us would in a year:) If so why is he complaining when mp3.com got a 11 million dollar investment:) I think he's rich enough... spoken with a cough.. cheers to rob.. --
If one of you were to buy a SUN or Apple computer in the near future, please ask them to remove the OS and stress that you wish to use an alternative free OS. Namely Linux, Freebsd, or whatever you feel.

This is indeed good news.. A while back someone released fixed asm de-compiled code of UltraHLE. I guess that was a bit weird.

Now here you have some real programers.. unlike those other companies which promised linux games over 2-3 years ago.. and then just fade away..
/. their severs so much that they removed the avi file and put a note about /. there :) nice.
BTW, we managed to
BTW, when you guys get the demo version out.. please put the linux version out simultaionously.. that would really rock for linux ppl.
I'm going to hunt for this game at my local game store soon..!
Enjoy!

Good morning folks,
If one of you were to buy a SUN or Apple computer in the near future, please ask them to remove the OS and stress that you wish to use an alternative free OS. Namely Linux, Freebsd, or whatever you feel.
This is the way to go..

Ah.. that would be nice.. wouldnt it? goodbye to ext2
