Tux drinking beer?
In woody there used to be such a nice beer drinking tux while booting.
Why is he not there anymore in sarge. Or better yet how can i get there? Thnx a bunch |
What package you are talking about?
|
When i installed debian woody there used to be in the text based part of booting a small penguin in the upper left corner holding a jug of beer. :Pengy:
Now i have installed the net-inst version of sarge and it's not there anymore :( |

22 Pages of howto install and configure your kernel. Since i have read the pages and it warns me about 3 times to make a backup on a floppy. i was wandering if i can also make a backup of the recent kernel to a cd since i was to cheap to buy a floppy drive ;) wich command should i use for that? cdrecord mkboot path_to_kernel ? |
I don't worry about the backup because I also don't have a floppy. What I do is keep a Knoppix CD on hand. If for some reason you can't boot into your computer, you can boot up in Knoppix. Once in Knoppix, you can chroot to your hard drive and fix whatever is wrong. Take a look at www.knoppix.net docs and forums for using Knoppix as a rescue CD. Most any other live CD can be used that way as well (Morphix, Mepis, etc.)

Yes thats a smart idea indeed
I have a knoppix cd at hand When i run into trouble i will post in this thread.. Lets get my feet wet! and do some kernel compiling OHHH JOY!!!! |
In short - keep always a kernel that is good in /boot - heck I got about 9 different kernel in there.Have to do some spring cleaning one day.
That howto is debian specific.I never built my kernels that way even with debian because it is imho just too complicated.I don't care what anybody says. If you build a kernel the normal way you just download the source and unpack it to /usr/src then point the /usr/src/linux symlink to it and do cd /usr/src/linux - make menuconfig - configure the kernel - make bzImage - make modules_install copy /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot and configure the boot loader. End of story. Oh - don't forget to pray to your favourite divine entity during reboot :D :D |
the kernel upgrade patch worked out but check this out!
I found something way cooler than tux drinking beer!!! You can make your own! Check this out! http://www.bootsplash.de/ that rocks :D :D :D |
