It's a discussion about Time Machine and how it works, but the underlying technology is similar.<br /><br />BackInTime is based from "flyback" and "timevault", two similar softwares with apple's "Time Machine".

It is supposed to compile an optimized blender+yafaray for your processor. so instead of simply typing ./sevenblend, i type this:<br /><blockquote style="font-family: lucida grande;">./sevenblend WITH_OPTIM</blockquote>Go to the<span style="font-style: italic;"> user-config</span> directory, and rename<span style="font-style: italic;"> user-config.py</span> to <span style="font-style: italic;">user-config.py.bak</span> for backup purposes.<br /><br />Rename <span style="font-style: italic;">AMD64_user-config.py</span> to <span style="font-style: italic;">user-config.py.</span> This user configuration file is for a 64-bit AMD processor. If you'll be compiling an optimized build of blender+yafaray (using<span style="font-style: italic;"> ./sevenblend WITH_OPTIM</span> command), you may want to check out your processor and choose which config file to use. If you have a Core 2 processor, rename<span style="font-style: italic;"> CORE2DUO_user-config.py </span>into <span style="font-style: italic;">user-config.py</span>.<br /><br />Now we'll be editing our <span style="font-style: italic;">user-config.py</span> (formerly <span style="font-style: italic;">AMD64_user-config.py</span>). The error i posted above was due to the fact that my processor need a different flag, it should use <span style="font-style: italic;">k8</span> rather than <span style="font-style: italic;">nocona</span>. My processor is part of the k8 processor family. Edit this line:<br /><blockquote style="font-family: lucida grande;">CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe"</blockquote>and change it into<br /><blockquote>CFLAGS="-march=k8 -O2 -pipe"</blockquote>Save the file.<br /><br />Now, we'll be editing another file named <span style="font-style: italic;">linux2-config.py</span>. It is located at<span style="font-style: italic;"> .sources/blender/config</span>. This will only be present if you've already attempted to use the sevenblend script. It will download the source code of blender and everything you need to compile. Look for the following lines:<br /><blockquote>REL_CFLAGS = ['-O2']<br />REL_CCFLAGS = ['-O2']<br /></blockquote>and change them into<br /><blockquote>REL_CFLAGS = ['-O2','-march=k8']<br />REL_CCFLAGS = ['-O2','-march=k8']</blockquote>Save the file and then compile.

For instance, you're currently running Linux and within linux, virtual machines enable you to install & run Windows (!) therefore windows all your Windows applications.<br /><br />According to freesoftwaremagazine.com, there are four (big ones) virtualization tools to use: Parallels, VMWare, QEMU, and VirtualBox. Parallel is not free, so you have to pay for it. VMWare has free versions, i've tried it but didn't work for me, and besides, the download took around 580MB. From what i read QEMU is command-line, so it's very complicated to create a new virtual machine (although there are GUIs made for it). The last option, and i believe the best option we have, is VirtualBox.<br /><br />There are two available version of VirtualBox: the free Open Source Edition, and the Personal Use and Evaluation license.<br /><br />The easiest to install, coz it's the one i've tried is the Personal Use and Evaluation license.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Download the Installer</span><br /><br />Head over to<br /><blockquote>http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads</blockquote><br />to download the installer for your version of Ubuntu. i've downloaded the virtualbox-2.1_2.1.4-42893_Ubuntu_hardy_i386.deb, and it's only 36.2MB! Compare that to the 580MB download for the VMWare server.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Install the Required Packages</span><br /><br />We also need to install some packages before we can install virtualbox.<br /><br />in the terminal do this<br /><blockquote>apt-get install bcc iasl xsltproc xalan libxalan110-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev libidl-dev libsdl1.2-dev libxcursor-dev libqt3-headers libqt3-mt-dev libasound2-dev libstdc++5 linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential</blockquote>in case you don't know where the terminal is, go <a href="http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/opening-terminal.html">here</a>.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Install VirtualBox</span><br /><br />Go to the directory where you've downloaded the virtualbox installer. Double-click it, and the package installer should say all dependencies have been satisfied. If not, the installer will automatically install the required packages.<br /><br />Click on <span style="font-style: italic;">Install Package</span>.<br /><br />if incase the shortcut to VirtualBox cannot be found under<br />Applications>System Tools>Sun xVM VirtualBox<br />in the terminal do this<br /><blockquote style="font-family: lucida grande;">sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup</blockquote><br />Just answer yes to all of the questions asked :D<br /><br />after that, you should find the Sun xVM VirtualBox short cut link. click it and you're ready to go.<br /><br />If VirtualBox shortcut link is no where yet to find, press Alt+F2, and type <span style="font-style: italic;">VirtualBox</span> (take note of the capitalization). That should bring about the link, and should also start VirtualBox.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Creating a Virtual Machine</span><br /><br />On the VirtualBox window click on New and the following window will appear, welcoming you to Create a New Virtual Machine Wizard. simply click on <span style="font-style: italic;">Next</span>.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ1_n26rnUQK8NepcgrOAqbnK0-_u-qXE0v_PK-m31DogQFclDzoUOZ9zDCPYTvsqXEJLrxuC__fc-pm-0ZYia7XBL7Ks9G6L1OF2vbJmR5f7PqPO5oWk1zFG0vvQ_b_l-LeVkT30MdmI/s1600-h/pic1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 365px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ1_n26rnUQK8NepcgrOAqbnK0-_u-qXE0v_PK-m31DogQFclDzoUOZ9zDCPYTvsqXEJLrxuC__fc-pm-0ZYia7XBL7Ks9G6L1OF2vbJmR5f7PqPO5oWk1zFG0vvQ_b_l-LeVkT30MdmI/s400/pic1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304333561358733042" border="0" /></a><br />Specify the Virtual Machine name and operating system type.

(atleast without your PC directly connected to the internet).<br /><br />you'll be needing a couple of things:<br /><ol><li>your PC where ubuntu is installed (no internet connection)</li><li>another PC which is connected to the internet (good if ubuntu is installed here as well, if not, you can always run ubuntu using liveCDs)</li><li>usb flash drives (you'll use this to copy your downloaded packages)</li><li>Ubuntu LiveCD (incase the PC connected to the internet has windows installed on it)</li></ol><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Upating your PC</span><br /><br />Assuming your PC is newly installed with Ubuntu, you need to update it: meaning download all files needed by ubuntu for it to know all the location of softwares (and also the list of softwares)<br /><br />on your terminal, do this: (in case you don't know where the terminal is, see this <a href="http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/opening-terminal.html">link</a>)<br /><blockquote style="font-family: arial;">sudo apt-get update -qq --print-uris |cut -d\' -f 2 > upgradelist.txt</blockquote>That command will generate a file named "upgradelist.txt" which contains a list of files to be downloaded later on the PC with internet connection. On my pc upgradelist.txt looks like this:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9JKhwIeYYgiLSmiaHg1jtikBVrtqzb0_99RrA229SLa7m3lpWG4fs58Az_W1GaLgA8Kcw4vm9uGn7dO9hPSlA-wCEDM5w5VeOVUWrngVCov4a8Hn8hc0dEKl8-PicVnMpH9gFimfq0X0/s1600-h/pic1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9JKhwIeYYgiLSmiaHg1jtikBVrtqzb0_99RrA229SLa7m3lpWG4fs58Az_W1GaLgA8Kcw4vm9uGn7dO9hPSlA-wCEDM5w5VeOVUWrngVCov4a8Hn8hc0dEKl8-PicVnMpH9gFimfq0X0/s400/pic1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301168844365148002" border="0" /></a><br />Copy that file (upgradelist.txt) on your usb flash drive.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Downloading the Upgradelist.txt</span><br /><br />Boot the PC with internet connection using a Ubuntu LiveCD (or using an ubuntu installed on usb flash drive). Then, copy the file "upgradelist.txt" on a folder on the desktop, and name it <span style="font-style: italic;">Upgrade</span>.<br /><br />on the terminal do this:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">cd Desktop/Upgrade</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:lucida grande;">wget -i upgradelist.txt -x</span><br /></blockquote>The last command will download all the files on directories. On my PC it downloaded files and put them on three directories:<br /><ol><li>ph.archive.ubuntu.com</li><li>security.ubuntu.com</li><li>wine.budgetdedicated.com</li></ol>Don't worry if we don't have the same directories.<br /><br />Copy those directories on your usb flash drives, and bring them on your PC without internet connection.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Updating your PC with the downloaded files</span><br /><br />Now that you've downloaded the files, we need to put them on your PC and let Ubuntu know where they are. Press ALT+F2 and type<br /><blockquote style="font-family: lucida grande;">gksu nautilus</blockquote>That command will open a file manager with root (admin) privileges. Using this file manager, copy all the downloaded directories on the root directory under a directory named <span style="font-style: italic;">localrep</span>.<br /><br />This is equivalent to doing<br /><blockquote style="font-family: lucida grande;">sudo mkdir /localrep</blockquote>in your terminal<br /><br />The following figure shows my downloaded directories under <span style="font-style: italic;">localrep</span> directory.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialDh5ZVEIyX6IEbdIWRqUfFq22FOjKhbYKkTE1OtMTXgrc5GmhhJ_YrDpA9uTu44eZJ8_fYHg-Jwhpbf1si3Dil1NeBXvix7ZdqncSwy_MNEGu9wcajqk6Mi9w0id5bChfUy1b07P2dM/s1600-h/pic2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 247px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEialDh5ZVEIyX6IEbdIWRqUfFq22FOjKhbYKkTE1OtMTXgrc5GmhhJ_YrDpA9uTu44eZJ8_fYHg-Jwhpbf1si3Dil1NeBXvix7ZdqncSwy_MNEGu9wcajqk6Mi9w0id5bChfUy1b07P2dM/s400/pic2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301171294351871970" border="0" /></a><br />Next, we'll be editing the file where the original repositories are listed.
