2003-06-09 Thread Ben Barrett
Howdy folks -- I'm trying to get more active in a Portland-based security group, which is having its meeting on the 11th this month (usually the second tuesday tho)... I'm planning/hoping to drive up there, but don't really want to have an empty car. Anyone else want to go? We'll have to leave

Hope this does not reveal how dumb I am. I downloaded a Gentoo Sparc file which is a compressed ISO It is not the specific name, but the suffix is Gentoo-Sparc64.iso.bz2 How do I uncompress it to Gentoo-Sparc64.iso so I can burn it to a CD, then boot from it on my Sparc Workstation. Thanks,

Hmm, do you have bunzip2? That'd be all you need. bunzip2 'filename.bz2' --- Rodney Mishima [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hope this does not reveal how dumb I am. I downloaded a Gentoo Sparc file which is a compressed ISO It is not the specific name, but the suffix is Gentoo-Sparc64.iso.bz2

You need a bzip2 program. On most unix I think a simple bunzip2 filename.bz2 will do the trick. On Mon, 09 Jun 2003 09:21:04 -0700 Rodney Mishima [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hope this does not reveal how dumb I am. I downloaded a Gentoo Sparc file which is a compressed ISO It is not the

Now that I have gentoo running, I just had to try emerging OpenOffice from source. I started it up before I went to bed Saturday night. It took just under six hours on a fast P4 box. (I had set up distcc, but so far as I can tell, the OO.o emerge doesn't use distcc.) So now we know. OO.o is

I'm not sure what platform/environment you're working in (only mentioned OS X), but if you have access to bzip (use 'bunzip2' or 'bzip2 -d') you should be able to do it. Try the man pages for the full story... You might want to first look for a file.md5 or file.md5sum to see if whoever hosted

Rodney, The .bz2 extention means that its bzipped. simply bzip2 -d filename should leave you with a burnable iso image. Jamie On Monday 09 June 2003 09:21 am, Rodney Mishima wrote: : Hope this does not reveal how dumb I am. : : I downloaded a Gentoo Sparc file which is a compressed ISO

To rule out archetectural problems ( big-endian vs. little-endian ) try bunzip2 on an Intel machine if you can't do it on a sparc. I know that mac and intel 86 use the opposite endian fromats of the other. Which would ensure between the two having one that is the right format. I am not sure
