¿Porque no usar la Debian? Con un poco de trabajo se puede hacer. Sólo necesitas la ayuda de un usuario que domine un poco el tema. Los pasos serían: - Compilar un kernel con soporte UMSDOS - Crear un disco de arranque debian con ese kernel - Crear con este kernel una partición UMSDOS y todo esto - Instalar el debian con el dselect, pero saltarse los pasos de crear la partición swap (puedes usar un fichero swap) y formatear la partición. - Le dices que se instale en tu partición UMSDOS y el ni se enterará de lo que es o deja de ser. -- Saudos: ose[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vigo/Galicia/España) http://pagina.de/xmanoel/ http://w3.to/mikkeli/
Recompilación del núcleo (I)
Hola, tengo bastantes dudas (y muy básicas) en lo que se refiere a la compilación del núcleo. Desde que cambié la caja por una ATX, para apagar la máquina debo reiniciar, entrar en w95 y salir desde allí. Así pues necesito compilar (¿o recompilar?) el núcleo con APM. La primera duda es: ¿existe la diferencia entre compilar un nuevo núcleo y recompilar el núcleo ya instalado? Si se trata de compilar un nuevo núcleo, aparte de añadirle el soport APM, tendré que asegurarme de añadir todas las características del anterior. Y puestos a compilar un nuevo núcleo, ¿para qué hacerlo con otro 2.0.34 si puedo obtener el 2.0.35? De momento he copiado y desarchivado un 2.0.34 que venía en el CD de una revista (también tengo por ahí el 2.0.35) en /usr/src, y me ha creado un directorio /usr/src/linux. Esperaba encontrar otro con el núcleo que tengo actualmente instalado, pero tan sólo había un directorio /usr/src/redhat (¿?). ¿Dónde puedo ver la información de lo que hay en el núcleo actual, o sólo existe el fichero (ilegble) vmlinuz-2.0.34? Y hojeando por el sistema, he visto un fichero, /dev/apm_bios, y al hacer: less -f apm_bios obtengo: apm_bios: Operation not supported by device ¿significa esto que sí tengo el soporte apm en el núcleo, pero... algo más?

No, eso no significa que tengas el soporte de APM. Simplemente tienes creado el fichero de dispositivo correspondiente, que es, digamos, un enlace al controlador que esté en el núcleo, cuando esté. En Unix (Linux es Unix) casi todo se controla mediante ficheros. Pero no le puedes hacer un less. Cuando tengas APM en el núcleo, tendrás un fichero (ficticio, como todos los de /proc) /proc/apm, y ése si lo puedes ver, pero con cat, no con less. Pero mejor que verlo a pelo, el programa apm lo muestra de forma más legible, y también te permite poner la máquina en modo de espera o de suspensión.

Actualización, kernel, 2.2.125, a, 2.2.0-pre7, conseguida...¡por, fin!
Por fin actualicé el kernel a 2.2.0-pre7 parcheando desde el 2.1.125. Gracias a los mensajes que me habeis enviado en respuesta al mio en el que pedía ayuda en la actualización del kernel, especialmente a Marcelo E. Magallón y a Jesus Rodrigo. Aprovecho para comentaros que en Linux Today he encontrado hoy un articulo de Alan Cox en el que dice claramente que después de su patch-2.2.0pre7ac7, si las cosas van como se tiene planeado, saldrá 2.2.0 final. Es decir que el nuevo kernel estable 2.2.0 está aqui ya mismo... posiblemente esta semana. Si vais a actualizar el kernel mediante parches como he hecho yo os recomiendo: 1) Antes de empezar a parchear editad em Makefile de vuestro kernel actual (el mio era el 2.1.125) y si habeis comentado previamente línea que corresponde al soporte multiprocesador: #SMP=1 quitarle el comentario. Esto es así pues el kernel 2.2.0-pre7 tiene el soporte multiprocesador mucho más desarrollado y absolutamente integrado en el kernel y su configuracióne es directamente desde make config o lo que sea (make menuconfig, make xconfig..). 2) Es posible que una vez parcheado os dispongais a hacer un make config o lo que sea y os salga un mensaje de error diciendo algo asi como no es posible realizar rm -r include/asm pues es un directorio lo cual no entiendo or qué pasa, pero bueno, yo chapuceé y busqué en el Makefile asm y donde decía rm -f include/asm puse rm -rf include/asm y funcionó sin rechistar. Una vez rearrancado el sistema, probé a quitar la r puesta por mi y... ahora si funcionaba como debía %-? En fin, si alguien sabe lo que me pudo pasar que lo diga por favor pues si bien las chapuzas funcionan a veces, me gusta saber por qué pasan las cosas. 3) Al configurar el núcleo 2.2.0-pre7, en General setup hay una nueva cosa: PCI access mode, y hay que definirla antes de disponerse a compilar pues sino puede pasar lo que me pasó a mi, que te de un error. Saludos y os animo a probar el kernel 2.2.0-pre7 pues la verdad: es ESPECTACULAR. -- Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Esta solución se está implementando para la instalación de Debian, aunque probablemente no esté lista para la Debian 2.1 (ya se puede instalar usando un loopfs como rootfs, pero todavía hay que hacer cosas a mano: crear el loopfs y swapfiles vacíos, el initrd y configurar el arranque). -- Enrique Zanardi [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As in many other ways, Debian has chosen wisely and used standard Unix tools to create their packages, so that you can examine and use them with any flavour of Unix. Another great way to get into Debian packages is with a recent version of Midnight Commander (mc), which understands .deb and .rpm and many other archive formats, so that you can navigate inside them and extract/view to your heart's content. Failing that, have a look at the man page for dpkg, although you can't get much easier than ar.

Re: xconfig, menuconfig
Hi Frederick, It does not work, I still get the message no target. I also cannot locate any files with patterns xconfig or menuconfig. I did install the kernel-package. I don't understand, what I'm doing wrong. kernel-package and kernel-source are two different things. You will need a kernel source package. The package kernel-package is used to create a custom Debian package of the kernel you configure with make xconfig, for example. All of the config targets (config, xconfig and menuconfig) are normally in /usr/src/linux/Makefile. This is what I have in /usr/src/linux: COPYING Makefiledebian/ init/mm/ stamp-configure CREDITS README drivers/ ipc/ modules/ stamp-image Documentation/ Rules.make fs/ kernel/ net/ MAINTAINERS arch/ include/ lib/ scripts/ when you run make xconfig the make program will by default read the file Makefile and search for a target called xconfig. If you don't have a Makefile then you will need to download a Linux kernel source package, preferrably from Debian. Note that you will need to have run X running and be logged in as root if you want to do an xconfig. The others config and menuconfig don't need X but also require you to be logged in as root. Here are some of the kernel-source packages available in the unstable distribution potato: __ Opt develkernel-sourc none 2.0.33-10 Linux kernel source. __ Opt develkernel-sourc none 2.0.34-4Linux kernel source. __ Opt develkernel-sourc none 2.0.35-3Linux kernel source. __ Opt develkernel-sourc none 2.0.36-1Linux kernel source. __ Opt develkernel-sourc none 2.1.125-1 Linux kernel source.

Dselect ...Finnish keyboard

Question 1: I read Debian User's Guide Edition 2 and therein it is said that after one has selected the packages one wishes to install it may be necessary to run the installation step over again until all the packages are installed. I wonder if someone could tell me how I would know whether or not all the packages had been installed. In other words how do I know when to re-run this section of Dselect and how many times to re-run it. Would I need to keep referring to /var/lib/dpkg or what ? Question 2: I live in Finland and have tried to map my keyboard to 'fi-latin1', using kbdconfig. It works pretty much as it should but it doesn't allow me to type the following characters: ä, Ä, ö, Ö, å, Å I have tried using the alt key and their ascii numbers but to no avail. Can anyone help.

Question 1: I read Debian User's Guide Edition 2 and therein it is said that after one has selected the packages one wishes to install it may be necessary to run the installation step over again until all the packages are installed. I wonder if someone could tell me how I would know whether or not all the packages had been installed. In other words how do I know when to re-run this section of Dselect and how many times to re-run it. Would I need to keep referring to /var/lib/dpkg or what ? Nothing so complex, if packages are not installed becase of predependancy problems etc then dselect will give you a message when you run the install option, somthing like Wrning package X predepends on Package Y. Dont panic as the guide suggests just run install again and again untill you dont get any error messages at the end. Alternatively instal the APT get method, set this up in the chose acess method option then update the package lists and install. APT is dead smart and will automaticaly sort out all the pre dependancy problems. IMHO instelation on debian is by far the easiest of all lini\ux distros. Pete

Re: CR key broken
I don't know if I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I've seen similar things over a slow telnet connection when I've eg. been editing mail messages. If this is the same thing, the problem is just with updating being slow. If there are a lot of lines to move down, this takes ages, and you don't see it at your end for a while. You could test if this is the problem by editing a test file in the way you describe, saving it, and checking to see what the saved file looks like. However, I don't know how you can avoid this problem HTH Rich Nidge Jones wrote: At the Linux prompt all is well, nothing appears to be wrong. However start something like JOE (editor) up and the CR doesn't insert when you hit it, it just wraps to the next line. For example, if you are half way through a line of text, and you hit CR, the second half of the line will drop to a new line , and all other lines drop down to make room, yes ! But not here, if I do such an action, the text will just drop ontop of the line below, making editing impossible.

Is it possible that Linux strands on certain occaisons? After installating Linux, I run dselect and download several programmes from FTP.

Re: Filenames vfat-fs
I mounted on my notebook the win95-partition as shown: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win95 -t vfat It seems to be with no problems. But in each win95 is a directory named Program Files. I can't change in this dir, because it's a space in the filename. Has it a way to change in this dir - other than mount the partition as ... -t msdos where this dir is named Progra~1? Thanks Matthias Try cd Program\ Files or cd Program Files You have to tell the shell that the space is part of the directory name. Do this by escaping the space, so it's no longer interpreted as a field separator by the shell, or make a single string out the directory name.

MAJOR Problems in dselect.
hi, (Thanks pann) OK, something went really wrong during dselect process and I need help. After I install the base system and went ahead to dselect(after reading the dselect for beginner manual of course). I am new at dselect so I accidently selected and installed alot of packages that I don't want. I also removed something that I don't know what. To make the story short I think I really screwed it up. Now here is the question. -How do remove all of the packages that I installed and go back to the situation when only the base system is installed(to basically start fresh on dselect again)? There is also another problem. before I use dselect, I can mount and un-mount my cdrom. The cdrom line in the /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/sbpcd /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user And when I use dselect for the first time, at ACCESS it works when I put in /dev/sbpcd for device block. But after I installed the packages(alot of packages including the kernel-2.0.33) accidently, I CAN'T access my /cdrom anymore. I put in /dev/sbpcd for device block at ACCESS again it said can't find device block or driver is not install or something in that nature. I try INSTALL and it said the same. I exited dselect and went to /etc/fstab and saw that everything is like before but now I can't mount my cdrom like before. My mounting point is /cdrom and did create a directory called /cdrom. -Anyone knows the problem here?

Does anyone know how to find out what the proper block size is for a tape drive? I have an Exabyte 8200 scsi tape drive (8mm 2.5 gig), that I bought used with no documentation. I've looked at the exabyte home page, but did not see any mention of block size. I've tried to backup with dump, but it is not getting the right block size. This is causing it to tell me I need multiple tapes when everything should fit on one. I've been working on this for a while, and haven't gotten it right yet. And to make matters worse, I lost my 5.1 gig maxtor about 2 weeks ago w/o a good backup. So I really want to get this figured out to prevent any more catastrophic data loss.

I can't suggest a better DOS telnet though. I'm used to the Lan Workplace I remember liking the DOS version of MS-Kermit some years ago. The terminal emulation was very complete, even including the DEC graphics character sets (it reprogrammed the character set of the display, if needed). Maybe even Tektronix graphics, I'm not sure. Kermit is normally a serial communications program, but I seem to remember that MS-Kermit supports telnet connections too. I don't know where the name comes from, but it's a freely available program (free only for non-commercial use, I think), and has nothing to do with Microsoft. I found it on SimTel years ago; maybe it's still there... For the original poster: If you're still trying to get NCSA Telnet to work, I suggest you look at the large terminfo database in the ncurses-term package. With luck, it might have a terminfo definition for NCSA Telnet too... Using that should work at least better than the standard terminal types. -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Tape Backup And Block Size
I too have an Exabyte 8200. Mine works, so I mention what I do,
avoiding working with an actual blocksize.
I sent this almost verbatim to another person on December 31, 1998.
Over the years, Exabyte has sold about 1 million tape drives,
so there are many on the market used, including the 8200 which we both have.
The primary line I use is
/sbin/dump 0uBf 250 /dev/nst0 /
Notice the 0 for a whole dump, the B for size 2.5MB (250)
You merely needed to tell it how long your tape is,
otherwise the default is old-fashioned small.
If you have a Buslogic SCSI controller, it could be incompatible with
your Exabyte tape -- search the debian-user archives for the last couple
months, where I mention others' firmware solution.
Both Buslogic and Exabyte are giving the Linux community some help,
Exabyte through their web page.
Here is part of a script I worked up, running it weekly as a cron job.
log_file=/usr/local/backup/rabbit-log/rabbit_`/bin/date +%b-%d-%Y_%I:%M%p`
touch $log_file #This allows entries below to append $logfile,
#so the first entry need not be unique.
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
# The total becomes greater than 2.5GB,
# so I now backup /mirror on a separate tape.
for filesystem in \
/ /usr /var \
/home /usr/local
do
if [ -z $chunk ]; then chunk=0;
else chunk=`expr $chunk + 1`; fi
echo ' ' $log_file 21
echo ' ' $log_file 21
echo -- BACKING-UP ONTO TAPE-CHUNK \
$chunk `hostname`:${filesystem} -- $log_file 21
# /sbin/dump 0uf /dev/nst0 $filesystem $log_file 21
/sbin/dump 0uBf 250 /dev/nst0 $filesystem $log_file 21
done
/bin/mt -f /dev/nst0 offline #So, you should insert a weekly backup-tape
on Saturday.

I don't recall the specifics of the Debian dump command. Some versions of dump simply support specifying how many kbytes will fit on the tape with the C option. On others you have to figure out the correct length (s) and density (d) specifier. So if you have an 8200 I believe the tape capacity is 2.2GB? Here's a snippet out of the IRIX man page for dump that you might find useful: /Begin quote of IRIX dump man page If you do not wish to use the C option, then when using drives with no interrecord gaps (that is, almost every type except 9 track), use the c option and the formula capacity in bytes = 7 * densityvalue * lengthvalue and round down a bit to be conservative (allowing for block rewrites and so on). The density should be kept under 10 to avoid overflows in the capacity calculations. Thus, for a DAT drive with a 90-meter tape (2 * 10^9 capacity), one might use: 20 = 7 * 47619 * 6000 or, rounding down dump 0csd 6000 47000 /End quote of IRIX dump man page That part about the c option may not be relevant to Debian. On IRIX the c option is used to indicate a cartridge type device (e.g., QIC, 8mm, 4mm, etc.). Other arguments may also differ between Debian and IRIX so you'll want to read the man page for dump on Debian to see how that corresponds to the above. | I've been working on this for a while, and haven't gotten it right | yet.

It's rather confusing. Personally, I'd recommend tar. It doesn't have this problem, it just keeps writing to the device until it gets an EOF from that device, and it has the advantage of being portable to other systems running GNU Tar and it's able to backup any type of file system, including DOS FAT, something dump can't do. The other option, with which I'm not that familiar, is cpio. It's also gotten high marks as a backup utility among Linux users. Good Luck, Gary
Is there document describing preposed Directory Tree structure?
[Pleade CC; because I'm not in this list] Hi, I'm looking fore a document that would propose of suggest a directory tree structure for a Linux system. It seems that various distributions use different directories and I find this confusing. Is there any paper and URL that would list the tree structure and suggest organising most of the directories? jari
PGP public keysevers?
