AMD 64 CPU Chip Selection Question

2006-01-24 Thread Patrick Carlson
Hello all. I'm looking to build a new system for Debian Linux. I'm going with an AMD64 chip. However, does the Linux AMD 64 kernel support AMD64, AMD64 X2 Dual Core, and AMD64 FX? Do they all work with the same AMD64 build? Thanks for the help! :)

NSIS is a great system for making installers.  Not sure if this will
work for you but just in case the above link has all the info.  GL.

 You can target MSI files from Visual Studio .NET. Well, at least in
 2003. IF you don't have it and/or want more customizations, you can use
 WiX that MS released on sourceforce as OSS,

 It builds MSI files from XML sources. Pretty good.

  Patrick,
I haven't tried; our OpenMosix cluster is entirely 32 bit so far.
  I'll have to partition the cluster into the 32 bit and a 64 bit sections.
  If you get it running, please let me know what you had to do ... thanks.
 
 Debian/amd64 requires 2.6 because of NPTL.  OpenMosix doesn't support
 2.6 really yet...

Idea for structure of Apt-Get

2005-03-18 Thread Patrick Carlson
Hello.  I'm not sure if anyone has suggested something like this or
not but I was thinking about the apt-get system and bittorrent today. 
What if the apt-get system was redesigned so that users could download
updates and upgrades from other users?  This way they would trickle
out to people, slowly at first, but then more and more people would
have the update and thus more people could get it faster.  I know
there would probably be a lot of security issues involved but then
maybe people wouldn't have to worry about setting up .deb mirrors and
trying to get the latest upgrades.  Just a thought.  If it's a bad
one, let me know. :)

Monitor Out of Range Error with xf86

2005-03-13 Thread Patrick Carlson
Hello.  I brought my AMD64 system home over spring break and I'm
trying to configure it for another monitor.  Whenever I try to
configure with xf86config, and startx, it the monitor goes gray with
wavey lines and says out of range.  I looked up the properties on my
gateway EV900 monitor and everything seems correct.  I can't seem to
figure out what the problem is.  Everything works great with my other
monitor.  If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
 Thank you!

-Patrick

Re: Java on AMD64 Question

2005-02-27 Thread Patrick Carlson
Well, I still can't figure out the path but it seems the Bluej.org
software that I use, when extracted and installed automatically
figured out where Java is and it works great with Bluej.  :)

Re: Java on AMD64 Question

2005-02-26 Thread Patrick Carlson
Thanks everyone for the help.  I went and got the 64 bit version from
Sun.  I installed it per this tutorial:

http://home.bredband.no/gaulyk/java/tutorial/javaredhat.html#Installing%20the%20Software

However, I'm not quite sure how to set my $PATH value.  There is no
profile.d folder.  I tried creating one but it didn't seem to work. 
What's the easiest way to setup the path?  Thanks!
