I told him in German that "It swings" if that is any help...

Ooh, This will have the server included as well, right?

I just realized this will be a great option for server owners who are having trouble with BZFS under Windows.

Especially since you can't compile it in any sort of bootable environment, not enough ram for most. I tried compiling the server under knoppix and my computer crashed miserably under low resources.

A server binary is a must.

about what someone was asking way earlier about it working on a mac machine and stuff, i think all live cd's work on the mac's and the windows machines. correct me if i am wrong

wtf???

that is weird smiley, it looks like its high.

Matt: it depends what hardware the distro supports, a freebsd based live cd would support mac. i doubt this distro saturos is working on will.

Since my father has a macmini I can try that easily.

bzfs-binaries are included for all aforementioned versions.

dang well that sucks. scence my high school only has like 15 macs and the rest windows machines it is no problem. but in middle school.....99.99999%mac's

I have never seen a school with more than about two macs let alone a school that is almost completely mac

well when i was in middle school they had one windows machine. and that was an old rusty thing. but they did have a windows server that i theink the state gave them was the only reason why they had it

A question topic based:
Where is it hosted now ?

its not finished quite yet for a release as far as i know.

OT: Matt: man, i got a revo, aren't they great? i just bought mine almost 2 months ago.

was just reading this and noticed that L4m3r said he could have made great use of this in high school and i thought i would share my latest EXPLOIT!

I love screwing with school computers. Especialy around the librarians....hopefully you know why.

Anyway I have it on my computers that I have in classes using a USB flashdrive!! I found a way around the filter that lets my download the newest versions from the forum, since I can access http://www.bzflag.org but I can get to the 'my' subdomain!!!!

Back to earlier posts, I have DSL on a 50 meg partition of a usb watch, 650 meg seems somewhat large?
Sup wid dat?

Yeah, I did that too. It's just that the computers sucked, running windows 2000 with a p3 933, 128 megs of ram, and a 1mb video card... a relatively-light linux liveCD would run much better, I think.

That, and you'd get to use linux and still paly BZ. Lol.

I'm very curious about this but I'm afraid I'll screw my pc up

The point of it is that it runs from cd, won't touch the harddrive unless you ask it to.

I think it's a great idea. Would it be a bootable cd or just somting that you plug into windows or will it have linux on it. i think it would be cool if it had linux, but you could boot directly into bzflag. also, why not include a copy of 2.0.5?

Bootable linux distro AFAIK.

you think your school pc's suck.....we are on 400mhz 128mb ram and windows 95!!! yea....wooot.

wow. I know the math teacher at my school pretty well and he is also the network/computer administrator. were changing to the new dells alredy. we got the blac ones a year ago, now more blac ones!. we still have most of the beige ones. He let's me have them for free, not that they're worth much. (Old 128mb of ram w/ 10gb hdd and p3 at 633 mhz and windows 2000 pro.(VERY SSSLOOOOWWWW))

You think that's slow? Try my only working PC (unless you consider a Mac a PC): K6-2 400mHz/128MB Ram and a 8GB HD. At least the P3s have some L2 cache - mine has none.

I would give anything for a P3 1gHz. Even some money (better than paying the price of a new one).

Well... anyways... to get back on topic: my old PC won't run BZFlag (unless you like 2FPS!).

wow i am lucky we got brand new Dell think series.

hmm... Well, in my middle school there is no windows that i have found at all. All the classrooms have eMac's All the teachers have g5.
