Do you think that would add to command-line instructions?
Graham

[1178]
it means I wouldn't have to read the instructions :)
Kaj

You won't get away with that :-)
Graham

Amazon have all those instructional movies

But I could do a slideshow when I prepare an emulator image]

Only hard core users will do a console install .. so need to bridge 
to those others
Kaj

Yeah, it's for hardcore and adventurous users now. After you install, 
you're on your own configuring, anyway
But I made sure that all standard configurations have useful default 
settings, unlike most Linuxes

We moved our daylight saving this year ...
I think all my linux boxes have the wrong time.

If you're installing on a stand-alone machine, you could get away 
without configuring anything, and with a different partition setup 
you only have to modify the filesystem table, which is standard practice 
for Unix types

and there doesn't appear to be a fix for windows 2000
Kaj

Yeah, I read Debian refused to update it?
Graham

Will Syllable be better ?
Kaj

Eventually...

Support NZ's new daylight saving hours?

We don't do timezone database updates yet, but we've been discussing 
it

my rebelBB.cgi script has stopped working
because the imap server thinks the time is wrong and keeps shutting 
down :(
Kaj

Yet another REBOL bulletin board? :-)
Graham
6-Oct-2007
[1197]
Yep .. French one
Kaj
6-Oct-2007
[1198]
Of course I'm planning my own :-)
Graham

uses an IMAP server to store the messages

Integrating with legacy stuff always brings headaches
Graham

[1201]
perhaps I should just use UTC and forget about it
Kaj
6-Oct-2007
[1202]
I can already see why I wouldn't want to use that one
Graham
6-Oct-2007
[1203x2]
I think it's just a very finicky imap server .. dovecut .. that I 
picked
dovecot

Years ago I chose Cyrus. Not sure if that's still the best
Graham

How about a vmware image ??
Kaj
6-Oct-2007
[1207]
My project leader is working on it, but we're going to release images 
a few days later
Graham

Cool ..
I can wait for that.
Include Rebol and Cheyenne :)
Kaj
6-Oct-2007
[1211]
Core is included. I've never tried Cheyenne yet. Is it hard to set 
up?
Graham
6-Oct-2007
[1212x2]
no, runs out of the box
I presume that you don't have Apache?
Kaj
6-Oct-2007
[1214x2]
Yes, an Apache package is linked from the README
How big is Cheyenne? Does it require Apache?
Graham
6-Oct-2007
[1216x3]
few hundred kbs
and no, doesn't need Apache
Might inspire doc to finish the web console if you release it as 
the default web server :)
Kaj

[1219]
OK. It's not really something that qualifies for our criteria to 
ship in the base system. We wouldn't include Apache, but most of 
the REBOL stuff is so tiny that we might as well throw it in :-)
Graham
6-Oct-2007
[1220]
I use Cheyenne for my web portal .. works fine.
Kaj
6-Oct-2007
[1221x2]
I'll put it on my list to look into. I think it would qualify as 
an operating system grade extension
Normally we ship those in middleware collections of packages, but 
that's a size consideration
Graham

[1223]
Uniserve and Cheyenne are 500kb zipped
Kaj

Not tiny, but smaller than many fonts :-)
