it needs gcc, now installed.
now it needs kernel headers .. looking for those to install.

Yeah...It can get funky - and very very particular.  But once you're 
set up, you'll be king.
Or insane, whatever comes first.  Go for King.  :)

all this just to set my time right!
I'm going to leave a nasty comment to the person who uploaded this

Under vmware/fedora  - not the normal everyday config.  :)

Nice.  Good luck.
Ahh, blows.  It gets very very particular.

This is getting silly.  I have to run a daytime server on windows 
2003 server so that my cron job on the fedora side can read the time 
and then set the time.
well, that seems to work though!

:)  Long live the King.
Does the clock drift immediately after that?  Or did you win.
Graham

well it drifts but I correct it every 2 minutes with my rebol script.
forever [
	if error? set/any 'err try [
		d: read daytime://192.168.220.2
		d: load d

  call rejoin [ "date -s " {"} d/month "/" d/day "/" d/year " " d/time 
  {"} ]
	][ print mold disarm err ]
	wait 0:02:00
] 

]
something along those lines

Ok for now.  I'd keep looking into though.  Shocking the system clock 
every two minutes...hmmm.

well  I have to install the vmware tools .. but I can't recompile 
the kernel without the kernel headers and I can't find them yet.

to look very interesting. Here's how they want it to work.

The insiders are pre-planning Debian etch release parties...woohoo! 
 Debian GNU/Linux 4.0

If you haven't, you gotta.  The only cost is time.

Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Rev 0 Released!  Happy Happy Easter.

You gotta.

damn I was there 1 hour ago and it wasn't ready yet.So I just reinstalled 
Mandriva,some thing happened to my home dir.First thing after a reboot;install 
View/Altme :)
now to find to file that"hopefully" will get set-browser-path working
to=that

Alan; I don't know the deets, but ask about DO-BROWSER, one of the 
gurus might know something...
Alan does your Mandriva have a  sensible-browser  command?
If it does, we can get someone to update RAMBO ticket 3455 with this 
hint.
Alan

still kind of new to Mandriva-Linux if check and get back to you
not right now,am doing some updates and hopefully that command will 
be there  tried several commands I found on the net with no luck

Alan; the sensible-browser seems to be a Debain branch feature.  
It's GPL so we can work that out.  The hint I left for the RAMBO 
folk is to internally call sensible-browser.  This won't work for 
us until RT does a build.  Once/if that is done, we can talk/plan 
more, about documenting getting browse native functioning.


In the meantime, try the  browse: [url /only] call reform ["path 
to browser command" rejoin [{"} url {"}]]

redef.  If you know the switches for your browser, you can even code 
this to support /only.
Debain is Debian

Does anyone think that perhaps we may see a Rebol port to the Playstation 
3?

That was mentioned in the blog on Vector.

I'm waiting for the Linux port to the Tungsten E2...that will be 
fun, with a little rebview running off an SD card.
Well, to be honest I'm a Nintendo fanboy.  So no  :)

I waited many moons for a Palm port in the old rebol days... alas 
it was not to be. So then I got a Zaurus and alas again, no rebol.

james, the palm was memory restricted in the days.
one process could not access enough ram to properly run any view 
app.
btiffin

[1303x2]
The current port seems to be waiting on the Garnet OS group.  The 
Palm will all be running Linux soon.  Yeah soon.  Whatever that means.
Max; Yeah, that is still going to me an issue.
Maxim

and with many apps I see, it would still quickly be ram inhibited 
many apps use 20MB or more.
brian, yes linux is not too far away they where purchased by the 
no.1 linux handheld distributor... last I heard they are writing 
a palm emulator to be able to run normal palm apps on top of the 
linux kernel.

I'm looking forward, but don't care nearly as much as R3 and Debian 
4.0  :)
Maxim

with linux instead, then we might have a better platform, since having 
64 mb palms is pretty much the minimum for a long time.  and if linux 
can be smart and allow us to use the SD cards as ram... well then 
there is no more problems.
btiffin
9-Apr-2007
[1309]
Yeah that's what I was reading.  Here's hoping REBOL/View runs.
Maxim
9-Apr-2007
[1310]
obviously the smaller screens also meen reduced memory footprint, 
since rebol/view has a lot of image clip regions cached... so smaller 
buttons and windows... means much less ram being used for those as 
well  :-)

James; Do you like the Zaurus.  I've promised some of the staffers 
that I'd get them PDA's.  I was thinking about a low end Z 22
james_nak

I do but I wouldn't recommend it as a PDA.
