Tengo dos unidades de disco extraible, a saber: una ZIP-100 en el puerto paralelo y una LS-120 interna (MATSHITA LS-120 VER5 00). El kernel es el 2.0.36 y no tengo instalado el módulo ppa para la ZIP porque no acierto a meterle los parámetros correctamente (agradecería cualquier ayuda al respecto, A ver si no meto demasiado la pata ;-) De entrada, has de instalar como módulos (no compilar en el kernel) tanto el lp como el ppa, pues sólo puedes usar uno de ellos cada vez. Quiere esto decir que, cuando vayas a usar la iomega, tienes que descargar el módulo de impresora si la había usado (rmmod lp), instalar el ppa (insmod ppa) y montar la iomega (mount /dev/sda1 /loquesea). Si luego quieres volver a usar la impresora, has de desmontar el iomega (umount /loquesea), desinstalar el ppa (rmmod ppa) e instalar el lp (insmod lp). Para el módulo ppa, al configurar el kernel, en el apartado de SCSI, has de decir Y a soporte SCSI y al soporte discos SCSI, y M al Iomega en bajo nivel. A ver si con eso (a mí me funciona así). De lo otro, que es lo que te urge, ni idea :-((( Suerte, JM
RE: K6-2
Hola: Hace apenas dos semanas que terminé de montar un un systema K6-2 3D a 333Mhz con 128 MB de RAM y aunque aún no lo he probado a fondo con Debian (he instalado slink, kernel 2.0.36), va como un misil. La inicialización del sistema, descontando la parada que hace para detectar mi tarjeta SCSI y el disco duro, es casi fulminante. Es más, sólo MIERDOWS me da prroblemas (¿y a quien no?). Además te ahorrarás alrededor de 20.000 pts. que te recomiendo gastes en memoria si quieres que vaya rápido de verdad. Yo que tu no lo dudaría y les daría una patada 'ahí' a los de 'mierdintel' por chapuceros y avariciosos (lo del pentium II no tiene nombre, y lo del pentium III con el número de identificación es para colgarlos de 'ahí').

RE: K6-2
Por si te sirve de algo ... No he tenido la suerte de utilizar un K6-2 a 300 MHz con Linux pero si con NT. Tenemos tb en el trabajo varios P-II 300/266 pero con discos SCSI en vez de con IDE. Lo que si te puedo decir es que el AMD está cumpliendo como el que más y de momento no ha causado más problemas que los P-II, es más, ha causado menos problemas. Por otro lado, tenemos un AMD 486 DX4 100 con 32 Mb de RAM y sin cache de placa, funcionando con Debian hamm, haciendo de router, firewall (cortafuegos), DNS, servidor samba, servidor de correo, servidor de WINS, servidor de NFS para estaciones RS/6000 con AIX y alguna cosilla más, y todavía no se ha caido ni una sola vez en más de año y medio.

What might I have changed to make /dev/ttS2 to revert back to irq 4 all the time? I plan to pull out my modem and change the jumper setting, but before I do that, I'd like to understand why this is happening. This has happened to me. Just add serial to /etc/modules. If you don't, serial is autoloaded whenever you need it, but with the default values. After a while, it is unloaded again, unless you have this line in your /etc/modules.

Re: Segmentation fault installing Debian
This isn't a great workaround, not even a good one, but I'd go to a prompt and run fdisk (instead of cfdisk which the install starts for you). Press m for help, it's more primitive than cfdisk, but that's why I like it. Depending on where cfdisk is segfaulting, fdisk could do the same thing. Anyway, after you get a running system, you could try to figure out what's going on (ie strace cfdisk) or that sort of thing. hehehe, thing is, how do I do that? I am a total newbie to this. I only know my stuff about DOS/Win. How would I get to a prompt? All I have on the HD right now is one DOS partition and the other blank one. I see your logic perfectly, it is the way I want to do it but I don't know enough to get it done. =) Can you fill me in some more? So this segmentation fault must be some kind of incompatibility, no?

Cnews: potential minor bug
Hi all, experimented a little on which news-server to use: cnews or inn. Finally decided for inn and removed (not purged) cnews via dselect. Only problem was the cron-job (/etc/cron.d/cnews) remained, was not de- activated and caused lots of emails, because the pathes and files were (of course) not found. Just wanted to bring this to attention, hopefully this is the right place? Kind regards Frederick
Re: Boot managers
There is a 'UNIX for Dummies' book. It might be helpful in getting you through some of the userland basics, but it won't be much help as far as sysadminning goes. You can use lilo to dualboot the system, eliminating the need for a boot disk. Attached is a sample of my lilo.conf for booting Windoze as the default, and Linux. ie, to choose windows, I press enter, otherwise type linux as the prompt for Linux. In Linux go 'man lilo' for more information. Remember you'll need to re-run Lilo after configuring a suitable lilo.conf for your system.

You need a device.ippp1 and ipppd.ippp1
in device.ippp1 you have to enable the lines about allowed incoming
phonenumbers, and you should set the IP addresses as you like.
You want to disable the route add/del default lines.
In ipppd.ippp0 you enable auth, require-pap, login
Also change the ippp* to ippp0 in /etc/ppp/ip-{up, down}.d/isdnutils

Re: Trubles with real player.
James Dietrich writes: Well, I looked at my configuration and just realized that I am not using libnlock.so anymore. From the rvplayer changelog: rvplayer (1:5.0-7) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Now contains a small shared library that is preloaded to work around the bug that keeps it from working on 2.1.x kernels. I think this belongs in slink - linux 2.2 will probably come out about when slink does. So, what version of rvplayer do you have? HTH, James I've downloaded the new version of the installer and the real player for redhat5.x (as the installer asked). It worked like a charm. Thank you. Paulo.

In article [EMAIL PROTECTED] you write: I've dial-out already running on ippp0. Now I'd like to setup dial-in w/ PAP or CHAP on ippp1. Which files do I have to touch ... ? Use `isdnconfig' to create an ippp1 interface and an ipppd config for ippp1. Configure /etc/isdn/device.ippp1 and /etc/isdn/ipppd.ippp1 like you would for a dialout. Then, in /etc/isdn/ipppd.ippp1, you need to change the #noauth to auth (to force the remote side to authenticate itself to your side). I _think_ you can use name X to set your system's name to X as far as the other side is concerned. In /etc/isdn/device.ippp1, you need to enable the part of the script that allows incoming phone numbers. It's a for i in ... loop that adds all the numbers listed in $REMOTEMSN to the incoming list. Is there a problem w/ Mickeysoft ? - I saw a ms-chap flag somewhere (can't remember where it was).

sound card/which kernel
Hi, I'm attempting to compile my kernel (2.0.34) for the first time to enable sound. I was reading in the sound HOWTO that there is a card supported Crystal CS4232 (PnP) mine is Crystal pnp Audio System CODEC I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this card and if it is possible that my card will work with the CS4232 card? Also there was mention in the HOWTO about PnP being supported in the 2.1 kernel. We are now at 2.2.1 if I remember correctly. I was wondering if it would be better for me to get a new kernel and compile that one for sound? Perhaps in 2.2.1 my card is now an option and maybe it supports PnP that would make obtaining sound easier? I'm not too keen on switching kernels at this moment as I have several bugs to work out on my system the way it is and figuring out how to download and install a new kernel is one more process to learn on top of compiling a kernel. But then I think maybe the new kernel will solve some of my bugs such as my clock in Linux and num lock in X not working.

If you're really running out of memory (and this can happen with Mathematica) you don't have a lot of choices - you can add RAM (preferred), add swap space (not so good bu cheap), or both. Possibly you can cut down on the number of applications and daemons you're running, and save memory that way, but this rapidly hits the point of diminishing returns.

are your using nis? nis-mt is great!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hi all! last weeks I installed a number of PCs with nis and dhcp, one annoying thing was if you temporaly cannot obtain your network configuration maybe because the network or dhcp server is down, then nis did not work but after the network goes up, so the administrator must to restart the nis client again. I though many people can be interested in new nis client package nis-mt wich works like a charm when these network problems occur. Thanks Debian! Ulisses - - Computers are useless.

Proxy with apt question
Hi all. I've done this before but having stepped away from linux a while, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong now. I'm trying to connect to the internet through my NT server. I have WinGate installed on the server just for this purpose. The linux box can ping the server and other computers on the LAN but if I try to upgrade with apt I get error messages saying that it can't connect to WinGate. I have set the export http_proxy=http://wingate:80/; in /etc/profile and root .bashrc. TIA Cristov Russell
ISP connect
I use the KDE window to configure dial-up settings. I have reconfigured the connect script to this: noauth. That is the only line in the script. I connect through MSN which requires a PAP login. I did not put a DNS number in hoping maybe it would configure this dynamically. The IP is set to dynamic negotiation. When it does connect initially, I get a terminal window asking for a login. I send my login name and then it asks for a password. I send that and it comes back with bad password. Does anyone else connect their machine through MSN? If so, how'd you do it? Thanks, Ed
2048 block MOs and 2.2.x
Hi *, in the 2.1.x kernels I used my 640 MB MOs without problems. With 2.2.x - I cannot mount those MOs any longer, - when using 'fdisk' on them I get an error-message (ll_rw_block: device 08:30: only 2048-char blocks implemented (1024)) - and when trying to put a filesystem on them with 'fdisk -b 2048 /dev/sdd1' I get SCSI-errors and after that the kernel panics and Linux is gone. What the heck is this? By Töns PS.: with 230 MB MOs everything of the above works like a charm -- _o) /\\ pgp fingerprint: 9B AC A5 CB C8 CC FC DC 25 B5 26 9A 5D 28 C0 3D _\_V

Re: sound card/which kernel

I was reading in the sound HOWTO that there is a card supported Crystal CS4232 (PnP) mine is Crystal pnp Audio System CODEC I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this card and if it is possible that my card will work with the CS4232 card? I got a Terratec card apparently based on the Crystal chip to work well with the 2.0 kernels. Try to find the parameters (IRQ, IO, etc.) under Windows and fill them in during kernel config. If it wont't work this way, you might have to mess with the isapnp-package. Also there was mention in the HOWTO about PnP being supported in the 2.1 kernel. We are now at 2.2.1 if I remember correctly. I was wondering if it would be better for me to get a new kernel and compile that one for sound? Perhaps in 2.2.1 my card is now an option and maybe it supports PnP that would make obtaining sound easier? The PnP-stuff in 2.2-kernels is only about some parallel port stuff. I don't think it will help with sound. There is a sound related change, though. With the 2.0 kernels, if you compiled sound as a module, you still had to enter your card settings at configure time. For 2.2 sound modules, you have to specify the resources when you insert the module. Good luck, Robert
