blah blah blah
brb, pirating microsoft software...

at least you wont tax your 1337 skillz and have to compile it.

He doesn't have to compile a Linux kernel either, but at least he has the choice.

Go code me a replacement for 'salvage'.

And I want to be able to see who last modified a file in the properties to. Make it so.

Yeah, it's kind of stupid that you have to reboot when you recompile the kernel. Oh well.

Don't worry, you'll have to do it a few times. I lucked out and only had to do it twice with FreeBSD 5 (on a Celery 333. Very slow).

If you have a dually system, and your current kernel is SMP capable, pass -j2 to make.

Just give up and use Windows.

 

[geckojohn]

WindowsXP is the way to go!


You don't have to worry about popping your corn holes.

Never give up in the face of adversity.

ouch! I'm lucky I have a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and a second box to pass the time with.

FVCK YOU, /dev/input/mice
FVKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK :|

 

[Chaotic42]

Does it say it doesn't exist? Do an ls -l on it. Let's see what it says.

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

i did a make clean and now i'm compiling the kernel again

i am dum

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

didn't work

trying an alternate uhci driver thinger and compiling again....

 

[Chaotic42]

What does it say when it fails?
Also, you know you can just use modules to experiment, and then build them in later, right?
What does "ls -l /dev/input/mice" say?

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

/dev/input doesn't exist, let alone /dev/input/mice

for some reason though, i was able to get usb support working with modules (like it would recognize when i would plug and unplug my mouse, which it isn't doing now) but it never worked when i compiled straight into the kernel. if this doesn't work, i'll check usb mouse support in the bios and then try modules

 

[Platypus]

get a room

 

[Chaotic42]

Like I said, run "MAKEDEV input" and "MAKEDEV usb" in /dev.
Also, yes, I think you do need to enable USB mouse support in your BIOS.

oh

fvck

makedev


i sux

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

MAKEDEV input
/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "input"
MAKEDEV mice
/usr/sbin/MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "mice"

 

[Chaotic42]

Not mice, usb. MAKEDEV input should work.

That's very odd.

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

dont know how to make device usb

Hmmm....

It's going to be hard to help you since I'm at work on a W2K system. You had path problems before, I'm sure this is somehow related.

 

[Platypus]

do you have X running?

 

[Chaotic42]

So does /dev/input/ exist?

 

[NuclearFusi0n]

only when i mkdir /dev/input

i'm recompiling the kernel with everything as a module, and I'll check out my BIOS on reboot.
