10:55 < boojit> ok so you'll begin by using alt+F2 to go to another console, and then use alt+f1 to switch back to this
screen
10:55 < boojit> all the commands I tell you to use go in the second console
10:55 < dutu> already did it :)

10:57 < boojit> then arrow down until you get to Submit Post, and it goes yellow
10:58 < boojit> then hit enter
10:58 < boojit> then on the next page, arrow down until you see: "Your paste has been committed"
10:58 < boojit> after that line you will see a URL
10:58 < boojit> you only need to get me the last number of that URL
10:58 < boojit> ie: if it says http://pastebin.ca/383801 then give me 383801

11:01 < Alan_Hicks> boot = /dev/hda3?
11:01 < dutu> thats the linux partition
11:01 < Alan_Hicks> Shoudn't that be boot = /dev/hda? Or maybe he installed LILO to the superblock of his root partition?
11:01 < dutu> hda is all HDD
11:01 < theblackbox> hey, seeing as how I'm doing my kernel rebuild: anyone got any recommendations for what to include?
11:01 < dutu> hda3 is the linux partition..
11:01 < theblackbox> I'm looking at network things now

11:02 < theblackbox> I'm wanting to use this box as a router for my private network
11:02 < boojit> yeah it should be hda i think Alan_Hicks
11:02 < boojit> dutu do you remember, when instlaling slackware
11:02 < boojit> how you installed lilo: to the MBR or what?
11:02 < Alan_Hicks> boojit: Change that to say boot = /d
