huzzah!

that stupid dance

So you've been trying to play a video game over the internet. Or you've been running a VNC program on your home computer to access from elsewhere. The only problem is: it hasn't been working. You've tried everything: you've gone to one of those "what's my IP" websites and tried entering that in. You've gone to your IPConfig on the host computer and tried that, it worked on your LAN but not from anywhere else. Well, here's what you didn't try: Port Forwarding. This tutorial is being made using a Linksys Wireless-B router, but the concept is the same with everything. First order of business is t

If I remember correctly that is one of the options when installing Xebian in general (not specific to the soft- or hard-ware modifications)

That makes a bucketload of sense, I was going to suggest defragging, but I wouldn't have thought of disabling virtual memory.

Perhaps you'll find something of use here. Down the page a bit it has a list of editors and things like that. I didn't look at any, but they seemed relevant.

heh I made this "DOS Emulator" for my TI-83 calculator that was along the same lines: it gave you the standard "C:\>" prompt then you can type in "CD [anything]" and it says "directory not found" then it pauses for a bit until it says "critical error, system halted" and if you try to type anything esle it says "critical error, system halted" unless you type "win" in which case it says "Explorer.exe damaged or not found" and it pauses indefinitley... yup, I'm just THAT cool

So, you have XP on your computer and are trying to install Knoppix as a duel-boot? It seems like the problem is that, as XP was installed on the one and only partition previously, it spread itself out in that territory and doesn't want to give it up. You may end up having to back-up your XP data, format/partition your drive, install Knoppix, and restore your XP data. Unless there is some other problem I am missing or some easier solution, of course.

Efwis: I see nothing in this discussion that is breaking the guidelines sans the issue of burnt games, which has been laid to rest. Though, I do understand you are just doing your job. X-Cannon: After reading the entire thread: IMO, as it seems you have rightly decided, Linux is not the correct route to go for your needs. And to squash some of the myths floating around this thread: Linux does not let you play burnt games. You cannot go onto XboxLive after installing Linux; they will try to update your dash, wiping your modifications off. After installing Linux, you can still play any games yo

I didn't bother reading the entire thread, but i've got Linux on my Xbox, so i guess I'm entitled to some input First of all: Linux does NOT allow you to play burned games Yes, the newer xboxes to not have the same exploits as the older ones. Xbox-Linux.org give you tips on looking at the serial numbers on the boxes to figure out the approximate version umber...you might be able to find one it'll work on. Also, if you have an xbox with an okay kernel number but the dashboard is updated too much, you can downgrade the dash...if you need help with that you can PM me or something cause Xbox-lin

Now THAT'S a suggestion. I humbly request it immediatley implemented!

For those linux users out there, here are some excellent IRC clients: KVIrc - This is the one I use. It is simple and light-weight, though it tries too hard to automate things for my taste (like when you connect to a server it pops up a window of channels you've been to to choose from). Konversation - Also pretty cool. I used to use it before KVIrc. And, of course, XChat - This is one of the most well-known clients for linux, and it is pretty good.

Yeah, it needs to be somewhere on the internet.

Pretty boring. Gwyrox is the name I used to use in thos old dos games that only took 8 characters, it's really just a mish-mash of letters that looks pretty cool - someone told me it looks like the name of some Welch Dragon or something? And the 732 is just because when my family switched to AOL as an ISP briefly (much to my dismay) it was an unspoken naming convention to add numbers to the end of your screen name (though technically the numbers are supposed to be the numeric representation of your birth -date or -year) and I guess I just like the number 732 for some reason, though I very ofte

...is this really a suggestion?

This reminds me of something funny I unintentionally said once: I was on my laptop once and I wanted to turn the volume up (with Fn [function] and page-up) and I accidentally hit Win+PgUp. Then it did something I didn't want it to do (i forget what) and I said "Remind me never to mix up the windows key with the function key!" hehe, get it? Windows doesn't function? Hehehe....well, I thought it was funny anyway.

Those are the WMs I have on my computer (well, except for "other"). Personally I've grown attached to WindowMaker. I'm also curious to know your boot sequence. I start into runlevel 3 and start x/gdm/etc manually, saves time if I don't really need x for what I'm doing. Who needs that "GUI"? edit...sorry, i made a mistake: wm and windowmaker are the same thing

Wow, looks like the gang 's all here. here is where i would use :wave: but it doesnt exist...
