“Could not find Primary Volume Descriptor” – grml. “The 5.x bootable install CDs no longer use floppy-emulation mode. The change was made because some newer machines do not support this emulation mode. However, older machines may not be able to boot CDs in “native” (non-emulation) mode. We can’t support everybody, so we support the new […]
“Seit heute 12:00 Uhr können IDN Domains unter .at, .co.at und .or.at registriert werden.” So zu lesen auf nic.at – aja. Auch zu lesen ist “Um die Technischen Systeme zu entlasten wird zudem in den ersten Tage keine Whois-Abfrage für diese Domains zur Verfügung stehen.” Hm: [mika@grml: ~]% whois bücher.at % Copyright (c)2003 by NIC.AT […]
Today I wrote a german webpage about zsh. zsh is really great and via stepping through $ZSH-SOURCE/Etc/FEATURES, Changelogs and using google I discovered many not so well known features.
UFO is the institut at technical university graz where I am working since more than 2 years. Yesterday (friday) and today (saturday) the 25-years-ufo-“party” took place. All the “old” assistants came together in Graz. All of them are quite important people in big companies like Roland Berger, Mobilkom, Porsche USA, Steweag-Steg, AVL, Magna-Steyr, Kearney and […]
“special” keyboard

Because I really like playing with live-cds I created a Windows Live-CD with help of BartPE. It’s seems to a really nice system because you have access to the NTFS-partitions with write-access – very useful for debugging and repairing windows-systems. What I’d like to do is create a Windows-CD with many useful and useable programs […]
Today I borrowed the “Java Desktop System”-Live-Demo-CD (Version 2003) from a friend of mine: -bash-2.05b# uname -a Linux Morphix 2.4.21-xfs #13 SMP Tue Aug 26 01:46:14 CEST 2003 i686 unknown -bash-2.05b# The package-management ist rpm-based and uses Yast2 :o). Other stuff is very gnome-like (gedit, nautilus,…) and the webbrowser is Mozilla. Due to the system […]

Yes, I can’t believe it – but FreeBSD is running *with* X on my laptop ;) Uncommenting some lines in /etc/X11/XFConfig did the trick: #Load “glx” #Load “dri” #Load “record”

Diebold’s bancomat running Windows XP @ Carnegie Mellon University
Yes – zsh version 4.2.0 is available. Check out the Release Notes for new features. What’s new? Suffix aliases allow the shell to run a command on a file by suffix: [mika@grml: ~]% grep ‘alias.*tex’ .zshrc alias -s tex=vim [mika@grml: ~]% Now a ‘$ file.tex’ calls vim with file.tex :-). Nice modules/functions are especially zsh/net/socket, […]

The harddisc on the FreeBSD-machine is much to small (<2 GiB) for having fun. I tried to install FreeBSD on a harddisc with 40 GiB but installation did not work (freeze on calling installation-routine), argl! So I’m falling back to QNX: qnx% uname -a QNX qnx 6.2.1 2003/01/18-02:12:22est x86pc x86 qnx% FreeBSD does not want […]
