(WTB) ORIGINAL IBM THINKPAD T42 T41 T40

farizluqman — Sat, 04 Jan 2020 15:37:37 +0800

Dear Kopitiamers,

I'm looking to buy 2x units of IBM Thinkpad model T42 for my project. If you have that model or older than that please contact me via private message.

Why does it have to be IBM Thinkpad T42? First it has to be running Intel Pentium M or Pentium 4 or below otherwise my app won't run. I'm doing an MSDOS project so to use it without VirtualBox or DosBOX I need an older CPU. Core2Duos are out because of some problems that i faced.

Condition: Must be in working order and no / minimal defects.

Budget for one unit: RM250 (2x is rm500)

Location: Kuala Lumpur / Selangor

P/s: Dear moderators, if I, posted this on the wrong category please move it to the right one

Thank you!

Squid + Web-based authentication / splash page

farizluqman — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 18:55:12 +0800

Does anyone have managed to do the Web-based user authentication on Squid? Or just a splash page to start browsing with Squid proxy?

I have read the official and unofficial tutorial but still can't manage to make a web-based authentication.

Thank you.

New Malaysian IP Ranges

farizluqman — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:02:34 +0800

Hello, can you all list down some of the Malaysian IP Ranges? Because today I found this IP:

"1.9.22.155"

IP Address: 1.9.22.155
ISP: Tmnet, Telekom Malaysia Bhd.
Region: Kuala Lumpur (MY)

from http://en.utrace.de/ip-address/1.9.22.155
WHOIS: http://en.utrace.de/whois/1.9.22.155

Is it true that the number at the very beginning of an IPv4 address have the better internet speed and latency? Discuss.

Streamyx ADSL2, ADSL2+ and T1 slowness

farizluqman — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:00:30 +0800

I'm using Innacomm W3100 Wireless Modem. On the setup I have disabled T1, ADSL2 and ADSL2+. Since the last 1 month I couldn't get connected to internet using G.dmt DSL mode. last time I'm getting far higher download and upload speed, and now it's getting worst.

Last time my Upstream SNR is 20.0dB above, and now it's just 18.50dB or less. My Downstream SNR also decreased from 20.0dB above and now just 7.1dB. What's happening :3 I supposed to get 2.0 Mbps but now i just get somewhere around 1 mbps, or even less.

I missed my G.dmt :3

Disable the disconnect option on broadband/pppoe

farizluqman — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 18:54:43 +0800

I have a pppoe/broadband that requires a username and password to connect to the internet. But how can I avoid users (probably limited users) from disconnecting the broadband connection? How could this is annoying me because I CAN'T EVEN FIND THIS ANYWHERE INCLUDING GOOGLE. thanks

A boring day end up with a new distro making.

farizluqman — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 01:15:33 +0800

Phewwww phewww phewww.. today got nothing to do. sitting in front of a boring Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GHz with 4 gigs ram. coz got nothing to do so I made my own and configured Linux flavor. the idea comes out with a brilliant result. I made a distro with XFCE 4.8, Firefox 4.0 beta 7 bla...bla..bla.. latest.

it is so good to be true (: the modification of Tiny Core is the best thing to do with patience. Tho it is more frustrating than remaking a makefile, removing an invalid header of a source, or using former MS-DOS 3 until 7.1 - and WIndows 3.0. you have to do many things. sometimes, I want to give a lovely kick on the boring Intel Core 2 Duo, but it end up with a shining premade Linux flavor. ow (: yeah. bak kata orang melayu, alang-alang menyeluk pekasam, biar sampai kepangkal lengan. hihihihi..

why does remastering Tiny Core is very hard. the answer is simple, just because it is tiny, the code are all compressed. theehee.. not the codes, but the loopback filesystem also. however, juz includes some apps to make is very lovely..

making ALSA available on Tiny Core is just like coding a program without assembler. haha, juz kidding. stucked at how to make sound available at almost 3 hours.. duh

Screenshots:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

how to do it!
1. Get Tiny Core, the most difficult thing to customize.
2. Install it to your hard disk. see sub-topic #2
3. reboot, get some apps especially the window manager, or write your own and make it a tcz package to include it in module folder.
4. make some change
5. reboot with backup
6. (you have restarted the machine 2 times) after that, copy every files from /mnt/hda1 (your partition which hold Tiny Core) into a single folder in your hard disk, (eg, /mnt/hda1/blablabla)
7. ok done. oooops... got nothing to do with your partition hahaha.. we'll include it into something called ISO (I'm So Obsolete) duh
8. making an ISO is easy. figuring how to make ISOLINUX into ISO is frustrating also. (eg, directly proportional to make a from scratch OS with Assembly theehee) just kidding, if you are lazy to figure out how to get ISOLINUX in the ISO, download mine from my Google Code project hosting.
9. then, copy everything inside the "blablabla" folder into the ISO. (duh, how to include into the ISO? figure out your self bitttt.. just kidding. get MagicISO to do dat).. save the iso file. in the iso file SHOULD have 2 folder, "BOOT" and "TCE". in the "BOOT" folder contains a boot files, GRUB and ISOLINUX. then in the "TCE" folder should have "OPTIONAL" folder that contains packages you have downloaded plus default packages.
10. done. you should jump off through the balcony because the distro making guide has ended on step 9.
11. dead already

subtopic route 666 (How to install Tinycore into hard disk, either on a real boring Core 2 Duo or a fascinating VirtualBox ./atau Komputer Khayalan)
1. on the bloodyh33l stinky desktop look of TinyCore, open Appbrowser
2. search for cfdisk.tcz, then click GO button (Go means Install, OK~), then do the same on grub-0.97-splash.tcz
3. if everything is ok, then open stink terminal
4. type "sudo su" to be a dictator (or Kuku Besi). some argue that we can even be H0sni Mub4rak that wins every stages with the power of SUDO
5. type fdisk -l for no reason
6. type "cfdisk /dev/hda" (hda stands for Your Own Driveletter.
7. do what you wanna do with it. theehee.. made your partition lah.. make some space for Tiny Core
8. when done, type "rebuildfstab" so you can refresh the drive list
9. type "mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1" where hda1 is your own drive letter.
10. type "mount /mnt/hda1" where hda1.. urgh...
11. type "mkdir -p /mnt/hda1/boot/grub"
12. type "mount /mnt/hdc" where.. the hdc.. is.. your.. cd rom drive letter.
13. type "cp -p /mnt/hdc/boot/* /mnt/hda1/boot/"
14. type "mkdir -p /mnt/hda1/tce"
15. type "touch /mnt/hda1/tce/mydata.tgz"
16. type "cp -p /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/" to install grub
17. type "vi /mnt/hda1/boot/grub/menu.lst" to make a new grub menu list
18. press "I" key to enter edit mode. then include

CODE

default 0
timeout 10
title tinycore
kernel /boot/bzImage quiet
initrd /boot/tinycore.gz

If you are using flashdrive, include

CODE

waitusb=5

19. type ":x" to exit and save changes that has been made
20. type "grub"
21.

CODE

Note that grub uses hd numbers in the form of (hdM,n) and (hdM), instead of hdXy and hdX.

M corresponds to a number from '0', which represents 'a' for X.
For every letter after that, add one.
'b' is '1', 'c' is '2', 'd' is '3', etc.
n corresponds to a number from '0', which represents '1' for y.
Subtract 1 from y to get n.
'1' becomes '0', '2' becomes '1', '3' becomes '2', etc.
Since this guide is using hda1 for hdXy, this means that (hdM,n) is (hd0,0)
and that the use of hda for hdX means (hdM) is (hd0)

In the grub prompt,
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

21. type umount /mnt/hdc, then eject /dev/hdc
22. reboot then completed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! continue step 3 on the guide.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD LUCK!!

In deed, we would like to make simpleLinux GNU/Linux the best place to learn, or to teach! We want an entity to collaborate, discuss, share and gather in a function to spread simpleLinux GNU/Linux!

What is unique about simpleLinux
a) Small in size [other's cannot beat us, they usually sized 500 MB etc etc]
b) Loaded with XFCE, or KDE, or LXDE, or Openbox [you choose]
c) Convert Ubuntu, Redhat or Fedora apps to simpleLinux.
d) The KDE 3.5 is lightweight [already] with just 9 MB took for the desktop.
e) Install to USB key, pendrives, camera [seriously], mp3 [seriously] or even to your hard drive [for sure]
f) It's created by a sincere Malaysian to those who loves "small in size" and "simplicity".

Changes
a) We have updated the official repo: http://mirror.simplelinux.my
b) All application packages can be downloaded at: http://mirror.simplelinux.my/pub/mirror/lzms/opts/
c) Added an rsync server for the project: http://wiki.simplelinux.my/rsync
d) Beautified the official wiki page
