    how do those other participants know? do they scan @dustinc account for new posts and keywords in those? that's interesting...

    Can you rephrase that?

    it is a surprise giveaway. lets assume you were notified by me. how did 3 other winners know to get on it?

    They just got lucky. Or, they may have just been lurking around. Or, prolly they have some way to know when Dustin posts on the thread (not sure how it's done though).
    BTW, I got lucky as well. I saw the giveaway before you notified me and dadev. Thanks for that though

    i think same way as @TrK or @MrEd do their stats, some of the first guys could be constantly checking dustin's profile for new comments containing "giveaway" keyword

    Definitely a possibility. Makes sense as well cause we practically live on the thread and it's hard for us to miss any updates on giveaways. At this point, might I dare say, I can smell a giveaway from a mile away :lol:

    good for you! i did 4 posts before i smelled something.. LOL.

    I was just kidding. I had just gotten up from my bed and suddenly saw Dustin's post among yourselves and jumped up on it since I promised dadev I would give him another reseller

    you got lucky. i did too. as i said in first pages of this thread, the only way to win is to be present during a surprise giveaway.. =)

    Yah, usually there's a lot of hype going on before a giveaway. This was a total surprise though

    By the way, only 6 more days left for the lottery announcement on the thread. 12/12 it is

    YAY!! YAY!! YAY!! YAY!! YAY!!

    Feeling lucky?

    nope, but hyped up - yes

    Let's go then. Let's see if we can pull some more members up. Who knows we could have a giveaway on page 750

    That is unusual. Maybe many of the usual members are busy on weekends or prolly tired from hyping the previous days.

    Internet or LET? I have had LET giving me issues for a few days now. Fortunately, works fine during giveaways :lol:

    But yeah, could mount an image and it should work.

    this is the part i am unfamiliar with..

    Does the provider's faq or any other document provide details about the steps to mount iso drive?

    nope.. one of those 6-article knowledge bases..

    And upon contacting them, what do they have to say when requesting details about mounting a custom iso?

    waiting to get a reply..

    It's been more than 3 days now right?

    no i got reply last night saying "mount an iso as a quick workaround" which didn't tell me much, thus all my questions here, since i know many of you guys are linux pros..

    Do they just expect you to study and understand their infrastructure and then figure out how to mount an iso on their hardware that you dont have full access to??? That's just odd and a useless response more than being vague which I previously mentioned. It's like shifting blame to the customer for the provider's lack of proper planning.

    i guess it's assumed that anyone getting LET BF offer knows their way around Linux and ISOs and such..

    But that still doesn't explain how you are supposed to mount an iso if the provider doesn't give you the tools to do that. This is interesting though. BTW, can you tell me what you get when you boot the VPS. Is there any lightweight distro or something already running there?

    just debian 13. i think rescue is available too.. can't recall now, no menu option is available now, everything complains that it cannot be accessed while server is performing a task..

    There is something called kexec that can boot into the kernel without a bootloader. Technically, i believe you could download any iso and extract it to a folder on the vps and then boot into it using kexec. Kexec is what is used on a PS4 to boot into Linux. And, now that I have talked about it it seems overkill to even try this on a vps.

    Kexec isn't about isos, it's about a kernel image (like you'd like in /boot). You use kload to load it into memory and kexec to replace the currently running kernel with it, so effectively killing everything that's currently running and rebooting to a new kernel.

    You might have a kernel image that includes a ramdisk with enough stuff to boot other things (like an installer), or you might just pass command line arguments that tells the kernel what partitions to mount so it can boot from that.

    Yes, you are right. I never said it was about ISOs. Just that it's an alternative bootloader replacement that could be used to boot another OS, kernel or even an initram if nothing else worked.

    could we ask the chef to offer more complimentary giveaways to liven up the atmosphere? :#

    BTW has anyone watched the movie K-Pax?

    Nope

    Watch it, it's really good if you are into sci-fi. You'd be surprised to know such people do actually exist in real life.

    @Saragoldfarb BTW, pink thread when?

    When this one dies. Cant be following this much conversation on 2 threads.

    Oh, THIS is conversation now is it? Me on my own isn't good enough?

    Die! Die!!!!!!!!

    Killing is not nice sara XD Dont kill ralf XD

    I'll try not to step on him.

    It's OK as long as we agree the safe words in advance

    LMAO HOW DID I PREDICT THIS

    What's they keyword?

    Ask the purple team. They know

    Socks

    And cocks.

    "The socks and cocks" would be an awesome name for a band

    Socks cocks + 2 smoking barrels

    Ooooh the movie tie in.

    I'm bored... What to watch...

    It's almost certainly not your cup of tea, and it will probably be crap, but I planned to watch this tonight...

    I hate these kind of movies where characters just float over trees and fight. Found them cool when I was a kid and now, find them cringe. I'd rather opt to re-watch a Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee or Donnie Yen classic

    Oh, I was just confirming cause when let started loading slow for me, my initial suspicion was my internet as well. But, every other site loaded superfast.

    Peter Griffin had a fight with Amish people. . it went something like this

    This is one of my favourite episodes. ANother fave is when they made parodies of action movies including Transformers, Kill BIll, etc.

    You into Linkin Park by any chance? For me, they are the only band that can't make a bad song, or haven't yet made one. Loss of Chester was a lot.
