I switched to slackware a while ago, and Im convinced that it's awesome... not the easiest to set up if you have special hardware (i.e. winmodems -- a PITA to compile ltmodem, and there are no slack compatible packages... Only version 6 [very old] seems to work...). However, the system itself is tot...

I know its illegal but Im starting to think we need a new hacking/illegal programming group for the good of all computer users... a group dedicated to busting this stuff... other then arresting the members, what could they do? once it's out there, its permanent. what goes on the internet STAYS on th...

dude, just go to this site's main page (http://www.dcemulation.org), and pick up a copy of the DreamSNES discjuggler image... It has a pre-installed copy of dreamsnes ready to burn.... if you need help and are using Nero 6, ask me... I found a way to do it, but it's been ignored for over a year now...

by POSIX compliant kernels, I mainly am talking about HURD, BSD, Linux, UNIX, and Darwin...

how do any of these differ in capabilites and ability? How are any of them actually BETTER then the others?

I havent really noticed much difference at all, myself...

thanks, bender!

now I dont have to deal with M$'s cheap, slow, web file retrieval...
try going online (on dialup) with windows... not a pretty sight...

It might be because your burning it at a fast speed? try burning it at 4x or lower... 1x for optimal performance... if other disks are working fine, then it HAS to be the disk in some way... try going to http://www.dcemulation.org (this site) and download a new image, reburn it, and use your ROMs, i...

well, to shorten things up, everything in the first ifconfig and route worked fine... no errors... as for cat /etc/resolv.conf, the Domain is set to example.org, I set it to that, as there IS NO top level domain for my machine, though this shouldnt be causing a problem... now, here's where things ar...

I can dial out and connect to the web using 'pppd connect wvdial' or simply 'wvdial', and it WILL successfully connect. However, when I try and go to a site, it can't connect the the host. I can't transfer any kind of data that isn't locally hosted on my machine... Anyone have any idea what the prob...

thanks for the links bender -- and I CAN speak some spanish... it's my second language... It'll help me in spanish class anyway... although toastman is right, I'm studying (sp?) stuff that's way out of my league... right now, I should be back making a note editor and then a text editor -- I need to ...

Seriously though, I've seen your post history. And no offense, but you commonly take on projects far greater than your skill. I don't want to offend you or anything, I would just like it if you would start smaller and build your way up. yeah, I know... but Id like to claify this -- I ended up recod...

very funny...
seriously, though, I need to find some information on where to start...
Ive never done anything like this before, but I think if I do it a little at a time, I can pull it off...

I made a really nice sonic themed DC... it has a circular sonic thingy I found (made by SEGA or some other company) glued unto it where the DC logo was, and is painted metallic blue. the buttons and controller faceplate are painted metallic silver. it came out fairly well, but the paint is a BIT dar...

not sure if this belongs here but.... Ok, I know Im leagues away from making a usable OS, but thats not what I want to do! I just need to learn how to make a modular OS kernel (not linux, or anything already existing). all it has to do is be able to take a line of user prompt, show a menu, and possi...

yeah, I myself just installed slack 10 (in zipslack)...

I might compile gnome or KDE once I get my winmodem working... ltmodem is a PITA with slackware...

Ok, Im getting zipslack and customizing it to run well on limited resources, mainly because I only have limited recources... anyway, I already have a swap partition -- after I put zipslack in an ext3 partition, how can I get it torecognize that swapspace as it's own? Im going to install xvesa (works...

I know Ive asked this before, but I just cant figure it out :P... I wanted to do some cross-platform development, so I reinstalled windows (for testing and coding), and I installed DJGPP and allegro... problem is, no matter what I try, allegro programs wont compile... I installed it using make and m...

its a char variable, defined at the top...
I didnt use an array, as I thought an aray variable had to be hard coded, and couldnt be user input...

though I dont really use arrays much, so I might be wrong...

Im far from getting enough money to build a PC, but when I finally do find a job and earn it, what hardware should I use? I want to make a pure linux box, meant only for that... no windows/dos... once I get the $$$ im into spending anywhere from $500-$1000. I know that it'll be a LOOONG time before ...

off topic: KOS is an actual operating system for the DC??? I thought it was just libraries to be used with the cross compiler to make DC Apps... so we are making KOS apps, and not DC ones? I never knew that... :P on topic: why dont you try building it and running it on a DC... its not like its gonna...

yeah, I'll try that BlackAura, thanks! as for what my scanf call looks like... scanf("%s",&file); fprintf(note,"%s", file); printf("Note Saved\n"); I used to have fwrite in there, but I tried fprintf to see if it was something to do with fwrite... both work (just ab...
