* ralphv has quit (Remote closed the connection)
<timmymyrs> Ahh.
<timmymyrs> How do I locate file from terminal?
<timmymyrs> In case ya haven't noticed.. first time Puppy user.
<timmymyrs> :D
<timmymyrs> Tried regular Ubuntu 8.10. Too many errors to sort.
<alienjeff> Welcome aboard, timmymyrs ... hang in there. You'll do fine.
<timmymyrs> (:
<timmymyrs> I was wondering.
<timmymyrs> I saved the iso of Puppy to CD.
<timmymyrs> And I have to pop it in everytime I boot?
<alienjeff> To run Puppy as a Live CD distro, yes.

<alienjeff> You can install Puppy to HD or USB stick, however I don't suggest that for the newcomers.
<timmymyrs> I wanna install it to HDD.
<timmymyrs> I wanna start with something new, and stay with something new.
<timmymyrs> Always did stuff the easy way. Now I wanna do something new, and stick with it.
<alienjeff> I suggest you start doing a LOT of reading then.
* kannan (n=kannan@59.92.89.68) has joined #puppylinux
<timmymyrs> Yea, I'm realizing this now.
<timmymyrs> :D
<alienjeff> Read first. Then install.
<timmymyrs> I couldn't find any manuals on Puppy.
* Pupuser402 (n=puppy@59.92.89.68) has left #puppylinux ("Leaving")
<timmymyrs> Only on Unbuntu and gOS.
<kannan> hi... i need help in setup automatic opening of browser when startup
<alienjeff> http://puppylinux.com/install.htm
<alienjeff> ^ for timmymyrs
<alienjeff> kannan:  can you post your .xinitrc to pastebin.ca?
<timmymyrs> How do I locate a file through Console/Terminal?
<maduser> Learn GNU command line commands
* elraven (n=elraven@host-69-59-99-220.nctv.com) has joined #puppylinux
<alienjeff> timmymyrs:  try the "which" command
<timmymyrs> ?
<timmymyrs> "which" command?
<timmymyrs> Could I do "whereis p7zip4.58.pet?
<alienjeff> Yeah, but ralphv says Puppy doesn't have the "whereis" command
<alienjeff> timmymyrs:  did you download the p7zip pet?
<timmymyrs> yes.
<timmymyrs> Now I can't find it.
<timmymyrs> It's in filesystem, I know that much.
<alienjeff> timmymyrs:  Weren't you prompted where you wanted to save it?
<timmymyrs> Yes.
<timmymyrs> I can't locate from desktop where I saved it.
<alienjeff> timmymyrs:  Download it again and WRITE DOWN where it is saved to.
<timmymyrs> I know where it's saved.
<timmymyrs> I wanna locate where it's saved through the manu.
<alienjeff> Where did you save it?
<timmymyrs> File System.
<maduser> se the image in the top left corner that says file?
<alienjeff> Is there a "file system" icon on your desktop?
<maduser> click it
<timmymyrs> There's a file icon.
<timmymyrs> But it isn't in there.
* kannan has quit ("Leaving")
<timmymyrs> =/
<timmymyrs> This is confusing.
<alienjeff> Try downloading it again.
<timmymyrs> How would I save it to my desktop as an ICON?
<alienjeff> Don't worry about that.
<timmymyrs> When It asks me where to save, only 'root' and 'file system' comes up.
* kannan (n=kannan@59.92.89.68) has joined #puppylinux
<maduser> click ther icon file
<maduser> on the desktop

<alienjeff> It's a miracle.
<timmymyrs> Now what?
<alienjeff> Call the Pope.
<timmymyrs> Lul.

<timmymyrs> But I wanna try something new. So here am I.
<kannan> kannan:  can you post your .xinitrc to pastebin.ca?.... i cant understand... where i can post that pastebin.ca is a forum or file?

<timmymyrs> K.
<maduser> yeah I messed up the find command
<timmymyrs> Ahh ok.
<timmymyrs> When I can locate the freaking file, I can run it.
<maduser> wait puppy has that find tool
<timmymyrs> ?
<alienjeff> click menu > utilities

<timmymyrs> so. cd / find p7zip.4.58.pet?
<maduser> no
<maduser> find . -name "*.pet" -print
<alienjeff> two separate commands
<alienjeff> first:       cd /

* mib_7v5o2i has quit (Client Quit)
<timmymyrs> Ahh,
* Pupuser402-1 has quit ("Leaving")
<maduser> and there is no 7zip with GUI for puppy
<alienjeff> Just out of curiosity, what do you need 7zip for?
<timmymyrs> extracting.
<alienjeff> (I know "to extract a 7zipped file" ... but exactly what?)
<timmymyrs> all my games are 7zips.
<timmymyrs> And rar.
<timmymyrs> 7zip can extract both types.
<alienjeff> Are the games compiled for Linux?
<timmymyrs> Yes.
<timmymyrs> Well, some.
<timmymyrs> Atlantica Online isn't.
<timmymyrs> Well, lol. I think I might just switch to Redhat Linux.
<timmymyrs> Well.. no.
<timmymyrs> I'll stick with this I guess.
<alienjeff> You /do/ realize that one of Linux's achiles heels is games?
<timmymyrs> I just need to know how to extract .tar.bz2 really.
<timmymyrs> achiles heels?
<alienjeff> "weak points"
<timmymyrs> Yes, yes I do.
<timmymyrs> That's why I'm doing this.
<alienjeff> k
<timmymyrs> I'm doing to prove to a buddy of mine.
<timmymyrs> He said I couldn't get Crysis to run on Linux.
<maduser> you can't
<timmymyrs> I just need to learn how to extract .tar.bz2.
<timmymyrs> :D
<maduser> wine dosen't work with it
<timmymyrs> Yes I can. With my software, it's possible.
<maduser> what software?
<alienjeff> Well, I gave you links about "tar" to extract a .tar.bz2
<timmymyrs> Who said I use WINE?
<maduser> certaga?
<timmymyrs> :D
<maduser> what software are you using?
<timmymyrs> I plan on using b2zip.
<timmymyrs> or w.e it's called.
<timmymyrs> Or, I can just place my files of Crysis from my USB to the desktop.
<timmymyrs> Create a new folder.
<timmymyrs> And viola.
<maduser> b2zip is for extracting files
<timmymyrs> Exactly.
<maduser> no playing games
<timmymyrs> Crysis is an .rar.
<maduser> so extract and play?
<timmymyrs> Mhm/
<timmymyrs> (:
<maduser> on puppy?
<timmymyrs> Mhm.
<timmymyrs> Worked on RedHat.
<timmymyrs> And it did beautifly on gOS.
<maduser> the game?
<maduser> crysis has a linux version?
<timmymyrs> Doesn't have to.
<timmymyrs> All I need to do is convert the .exe.
<timmymyrs> With a little bit of Perl and HTML, I'll be set.
<timmymyrs> (:
<timmymyrs> Even python can do the trick.
* #puppylinux :You need to be a channel operator to do that
<maduser> so you converted the exe with perl and html on redhat?
<timmymyrs> And a little bit AS to impress my buddy.
<timmymyrs> (:
<maduser> do you know what bash.org is?
<timmymyrs> No.?
<maduser> take a look at it
<alienjeff> heh
<timmymyrs> lul.
<timmymyrs> I'm quoted, aren't I?
<maduser> are you screwing with us or are you serious?
<timmymyrs> I'm serious.
<timmymyrs> HTML for the header, because I like to screw around. And perl for the variables of the .exe.
<timmymyrs> Really, HTML isn't needed.
<timmymyrs> Perl gets it done.
<alienjeff> dude
<timmymyrs> Python could too if I really thought about it.
<alienjeff> troll elsewhere
<timmymyrs> troll?
<alienjeff> troll
<alienjeff> as in
<alienjeff> FUCK YOU
<timmymyrs> wtf?
<maduser> unless your a fucking moron that we would believe you got this to work before or idk
<alienjeff> Google FUCK YOU if you don't know what it means.
<timmymyrs> lu.
<maduser> you never got this to work on red hat or beOS
* elraven (n=elraven@host-69-59-99-220.nctv.com) has joined #puppylinux
<timmymyrs> I got Crysis to work on readhad, and gOS.
<timmymyrs> (:
<alienjeff> Where's Keo when we really need him.
<timmymyrs> Not impossble.
<timmymyrs> Keo/
<maduser> HTML is a web scripting language as so is perl
<maduser> you don't even know what an exe is composed of do you?
<timmymyrs> Editing code isn't impossible.
<maduser> or how to make on
<maduser> one
<maduser> an exe isn't code
<timmymyrs> Nah shit.
<timmymyrs> Ya think.
<timmymyrs> :D
<timmymyrs> Executible.
<alienjeff> timmymyrs:  Thanks for wasting an hour of my life.
* alienjeff (n=alienjef@unaffiliated/alienjeff) has left #puppylinux ("<--- Visit the Fringe http://alienjeff.net --->")
<maduser> you can't convert it back
<maduser> to code
<timmymyrs> I know.
<timmymyrs> And I didn't waste an hr of his life.
<timmymyrs> I was really asking honest questions about Puppy.
<timmymyrs> All versions of Linux are different.
<timmymyrs> And I just didn't know Puppy.
<maduser> no, they all use the same kernel
<maduser> its how they are set up is what makes them different
<maduser> if somthing won't work on one due to its structure
<maduser> it won't work on another
<maduser> that why there all called a linux os
<timmymyrs> Well, I honestly got Crysis to work.
<elraven> stay frosty alienjeff is like that sometimes :-)
<timmymyrs> I can tell.
<timmymyrs> -.-
<maduser> unless you used wire or that other expensive game emulator for linux you didn't
<maduser> wine
<timmymyrs> I did use an EMU.
<timmymyrs> Wasn;t hard.
<timmymyrs> Solaris ferthewin.
<maduser> that not what you said before
<timmymyrs> I got it to work.
<timmymyrs> That's what I said,
<timmymyrs> I did BS about using Perl and HTMl.
<timmymyrs> But it worked none the less.
<timmymyrs> :D
<maduser> get the fuck out
<timmymyrs> lul.
<timmymyrs> Why?
<timmymyrs> Because I BSed about using HTML and Perl?

<timmymyrs> I really did have problems.
<timmymyrs> I'm not a complete ass hole.
<timmymyrs> I honestly didn't know how to locate my files.
<timmymyrs> And still can't. So I guess I'll stick to using Linux for porn.
<timmymyrs> (:
<maduser> jeff was right the 7z files were porn
<timmymyrs> lul.!
<timmymyrs> Nah.

<timmymyrs> lul./
<timmymyrs> I feel retarded.
<timmymyrs> Because my file doesn't have a root folder.
<maduser> yeah if you use firefox you should know how to set the download location
<timmymyrs> I'm using SeaMonkey.
<timmymyrs> Could never get it extracted.
