Instalar .deb con dselect de fuera del CD de distribucion
Hola Hasta ahora, he usado dselect para instalar paquetes que vienen con la distribucion hamm. ¿Como lo hago para instalar paquetes que vienen con CDs de revistas? Por ejemplo: en el CD2 de LA6 viene el Gnome en el directorio /cdrom/gnome/pub/GNOME/debian/dists/released donde ademas de los .deb hay tambien un fichero Packages. Las opciones de dselect en Access llamadas mounted y harddisk tienen pinta de ser para esto, pero hablan de que los .deb deben estar en binary/*/*.deb, y no veo esa estructura por ninguna parte en el CD2 de LA6 para Gnome. Ademas, si despues quiero volver a instalar algo desde el CD de la distribucion tengo que volver a seleccionar cdrom en Access de dselect, ¿no?

version de window maker
Hola otra vez. En hamm viene el window maker 0.14.1-7, pero he visto en www.windowmaker.org que wm ya va por la 0.51.1-pre1. ¿Alguien podria decirme si los paquetes .deb de wm se actualizan mucho o hay grandes desfases? ¿Es mejor pasar de esperar la aparicion de los.deb de wm y montar los binarios descargados de windowmaker.org directamente? ¿hay muchos problemas en estos binarios para adaptarlos a Debian? La verdad es que me ha gustado Window Maker, pero el manual que he leido tiene cosas que la version de wm que viene con hamm no tiene, incluido el tratamiento de temas y apariencias.

Re: LiNUX en la calle ???
En mi opinion, aun queda mucho hasta que los usuarios normales que se mal defienden con Windows pasen a Linux. El problema esta justamente en la automatizacion de los procesos desde que te pones a montar una cosa hasta que la tienes montada y la comprendes para usarla. Si ya resulta dificil que mucha gente se lea los mini manuales de windows, imaginate con Linux. Hay que ser un colgado de los manuales (todavia). Cuando Linux tenga un frontend que automatice tantas cosas que la gente no quiere estudiar, Linux se expandira tanto como Windows. De todos modos, al final, como los usuarios de a pie no leen, seguiran sin leer y preguntando a los colegas y conocidos cada vez que tengan un problema. El problema seguirá siendo luego el mismo. Para los que no estudian un sistema, cualquier cosa seguira siendo poco robusta. No quiero quedar como defensor de los windows, pero mi experiencia me indica que con paciencia y mucho estudio, se puede conseguir una cierta robustez valida para casi todas las tareas (tengo un NT que lleva 85 dias sin ser reiniciado atendiendo alrededor de unos 100 clientes simultaneos durante toda la jornada sin parar. Ya se que para la gente de toda la vida de los Unix esto puede parecer una ridiculez, pero para windows creo que es un logro. Tambien tengo 2 Unix SVR4 que debe hacer cerca de 2 años que me olvide de ellos. No se si los he apagado alguna vez y nadie se ha quejado de ellos.) Para acabar, que cada uno use lo que quiera. Cada sistema tiene su aplicacion mas adecuada, pero hay que conocerlos todos para elegir correctamente.

Fuentes X
Hola Instale las XFree86 al principio solo con los paquetes necesarios (xfntbase y xfnt75 entre ellos) y despues he montado xfnt100 y xfntscl. He visto que en el directorio /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts han aparecido directorios nuevos (100dpi, Speedo y Type1) pero no han sido añadidos en la linea FontPath de XF86Config. ¿La instalacion del paquete no añade estos caminos automaticamente? Supongo que debere añadirlos para poder usar estas fuentes ¿no?

Kernel 2.2.1: últimos pasos de instalación
Hola: He compilado el kernel 2.2.1, siguiendo al punto los pasos del README. Al llegar al make zImage tengo que hacer un make bzImage para que el sistema se compile correctamente. A partir de ahí las instrucciones del fichero README me confunden: - en el directorio /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot aparece un fichero zImage con a penas 3000 bytes; también aparece un subdirectorio compressed que parece tener todos --algunos?-- componentes de la nueva instalación. - yo he copiado estos ficheros al directorio /boot y he modificado lilo.conf para que la imagen del kernel fuera, como me parece más lógico, el zImage del directorio /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot. - dado que aún tengo un arranque dual que me gestiona LILO, lo he vuelto a instalar. -ahora lo que me pasa es que en el momento del arranque del PC sólo sigue adelante el arranque de W95, si intento arrancar con linux se reinicia. Pido ayuda para que alguien me indique cuáles son los últimos pasos, teniendo el kernel compilado con make bzImage para poner el sistema a punto y además tener el arranque dual estable. Saludos y gracias Miquel Escarrà

Re: fuente por defecto en las X
Por si alguien es un poco vago para mirar el HOWTO de como cambiar el tamaño de las fuentes en XWindow, pues la solución más básica es la de, editar el fichero de XF86Config y poner el directorio de las fuentes de 100dpi antes que las fuentes de 75dpi: Section Files RgbPath/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi EndSection Con esto tan sencillo hará que las fuentes por defecto en XWindows serán más grandes (de 100dpi). Para el que le guste eso. Yo que trabajo en 1024x740 con la fuente de 75dpi, y me parece bien. Con la otra me parece que vuelves a la época de la VGA.

However, even knowing this can't help in some situations, because of truncation in the dpkg -l display. The basename of the package and the column for the version number are both restricted to 15 chars, so either, or both, can end up truncated. The only place AFAIK where you can see the full, non-truncated basename and version is in dselect's selection display by toggling the bottom display to the 'info' mode with the 'i' key. -- Ed C.

Here are the relevant headers from most of my mails: From: Aaron Van Couwenberghe [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have mutt set up to include ~/.muttrc-local for each user.

how to use wheel on Logitech mouse?
I bought a set of the Logitech cordless Desktop. It contains a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse. The mouse has two buttons and a wheel in the middle. According to the user manual, the wheel may serve as the third button (in Windows), although the main purpose is for Windows Scroll. I set the ChordMiddle in XF86Config. Then run xev to see the effects. Push the wheel yields no event. The only option for me now is to use the emulate. But it is awkard, if you know what I mean. Is there any setup for X to recognize the wheel as the third button? Thanks. Jinsong

I repartitioned my original DOS partition without losing anything a long time ago but I am quite sure this was a DOS app. You could copy the entire Linux partition to another partition or disk, and then repartitioning and moving the OS back to the partition. I once did it by copying the directories to several iomega zip disks, and then restored them. It's quite easy, but you SHOULD use the right commands and options for copying, or you might lose data.

If not, are there docs on compiling my own X server and inserting it into debian's list? I would want to remove my old xserver-mach64, but AFAIK dpkg would complain about dependencies.

Linux won't work with RAM 64 MB
I tried to install Debian 2.0r4 without success wasting many hours. Two questions on this list also didn't help. Finally I discovered that Linux won't boot if there is more than 64 MB RAM installed (I used 128). There isn't anything mentioned in the Debian install.txt and I am suggesting to incorporate it into the help file as long as kernels will be included in the distribution which are limited to RAM 64 MB. There isn't an obvious error message issued and if you don't know about such a restriction you can spend a lot of time (I created so many boot disks as never before). After the removal of 64 MB RAM the installation proceeds as it should be. Nevertheless i didn't install Debian since an official CD-Distributor sent me faulty CD's (the installation hung at the package installation stage). Finally I installed a Suse Distribution. I am not happy about this but I cannot spent some more days hoping to get working Debian CDs. Therefore this is my last email on this list.

Re: Linux won't work with RAM 64 MB
You can get Debian to use your 128M of memory by passing a command to the kernel with your boot loader. I use lilo and this is what I put in my /etc/lilo.conf file append=mem=80M I put this right near the top of my lilo.conf file. You would have to use something like this append=mem=128M there are how to's regarding this topic. You can do this with LOADLIN too. I hope you don't give up on Debian. Once you get through the initial bit you end up with a much more stable - robust system. (Note that I have use SUSE as well. It is pretty good but . . . Anyway don't forget this is about fun also. (Someone told me this a while ago and it helped.) I hope this has helped. MT
Undersanding bootable media
In my quest to understand booting/LILO/MBR's I've come a cross a phenomenon I dont understand. Friend of mine (linux guru-ish) said that to make a linux bootable floppy you had to use a lowlevel tool like dd as opposed to just copying the files over to the floppy. But dos floppies boot just fine by making copies of other dos boot disks. BUT I tried to copy the files from a dos boot disk onto an CDR, and guess what? It wont boot. Despite the fact that it contains the exact same files as the floppy. I understand that in order for media to be bootable it's MBR needs to contain a program to point to the OS, so how does a copied dos-boot disk work? Thanks, marlon

Re: CDROM
Hello, I tried to install Debian 2.0.2, and it would not recognize my cdrom which is a Nec cd-rom drive:260 ATAPI. Debian says that it is either a cdrom or a floppy, probably a floppy.

Thanks, marlon Long answer: cp and even the DOS COPY look for a filesystem on the disk that they are copying from. Their arguments are files. The MBR and the Boot Sector are not files, and as such are not visible when you are looking at the disk as a filesystem. When you say that you can copy DOS disks and they are bootable, I would assume you are using a lowlevel tool like DISKCOPY. AFAIK this just does the equivalent of a dd into RAM, pauses for you to change floppies and dd's the image back onto the other floppy. In order to make a bootable CD-R, you need to have an image of a boot floppy (one file) which contains an MBR(maybe) and a boot sector (I'm not real clear on whether floppies have an MBR or just Hard Disks do). Short answer: There are non-files which are important and I would guess that you are using a lowlevel tool in DOS without knowing it. Your friend is correct when he says you must use a lowlevel tool.

Re: Which are the permitions for /dev/tty?
mode 666 should be korrekt for /dev/tty (it's a kernel redirektor to the real tty of one program. any program should be able ro read/write to it. at least this is how i understand stevens, unix network programming (volume 1), page 36. i strongly recommend to drop group sys at all : it's of no use. (only device files are owned by it - group root would suite better, since there are no setgid sys applications, and allowing read/write is as good or bad as gigving someone your root password. at least you can crash X via group sys (mouse devices), in some cases the whole machine, you have access to isdn and to all tty* and pty* devices. so sniffing other peoples telnet/whatever connections is possible via this). sure, group sys doesn't hurt. unless you forget somewhere to block access to it. for example nfsd only protects root.root by default. it doesn't know group sys... andreas -- Will Internet-SPAM be legalized in Europe on March, 29th?

Essentially, you can just download the pre-compiled binary from your favorite XFree86 mirror-site, and extract it under /usr/local somewhere. Then edit the first line of /etc/X11/Xserver to specify the new server. Of course, once 3.3.3.1 has been packaged (probably won't be much longer, now that slink is [again] almost out the door), you won't need to worry about all of the above. If you'd prefer, I can send you a .deb package for that server which was converted from the tarball via alien (it's not particularly large). You'd still need to edit /etc/X11/Xserver manually.

As soon as your computer us booting, the processor is starting at some point in ROM. ROM does some checking, calls the BIOS etc. etc. I don't know the exact procedure of the system anymore because of all these new fancy BIOS types, PNP etc. etc. Anyway at some point the computer has determined that it's all up and running, monitor is connected, keyboard is connected and decides that it's time to look for something to go furter. That's where the bootloader comes in. The computer read's the first 512 bytes from the very first sector on a HD or floppy drive. That little peace of program is loaded into RAM and started (JMP RamAddres_of_loaded_512_Bytes) from this point's it's all upto the bootloader on how to load the file system. If it was a DOS file system it properly load's the partition table (for a HD) and seek's for a bootable partition, that that partion is started at a simular way the bootloader is started (for a HD it is done it two stages because in the early day's there was no partition table so you can load the filesystem directly). On how it's done in linux I realy don'y know but this is the general way to load a filesystem. So in short, the must be some sort of a bootload at the first sector of a media to load a file system. This is nothing to do with the filesystem itself (DOS, OS2, NTFS, ext2, etc, etc (etc is NOT a file system but stands for etcetera) ;-) ) Best Regards, Ries van Twisk

As I'm legally blind, the default size is too small for my use. One way to do that would be editing your window manager config file and where it calls for xterm, use xterm -font * option, where under -font you can specify any font you need. Including sizes. Another is to add a line to /etc/X11/Xresources that says something like XTerm*font: specify your font here. 2. I've got two systems I routinely use X apps on, paladin and discover.

There are also Win16 and Win32 versions available. In addition, what hardware + services would be needed to get it and keep it running? Just a sound card, preferably one that supports full duplex under Linux. -- Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: xterm, xhost
Thanks for the info. You wouldn't happen to know what the default XTerm*font: setting is would you? Alec On Sun, 7 Mar 1999, Andrei Ivanov wrote: I have two questions: 1. Is there a way to make xterm default to the large or huge font sizes? Right now I have to press control and right click on the xterm window to switch. As I'm legally blind, the default size is too small for my use. One way to do that would be editing your window manager config file and where it calls for xterm, use xterm -font * option, where under -font you can specify any font you need. Including sizes. Another is to add a line to /etc/X11/Xresources that says something like XTerm*font: specify your font here. 2. I've got two systems I routinely use X apps on, paladin and discover. In order to use these machines at the moment, I have to use xhost +paladin locally before I login to them. Where can I put something similar so these machines are always authorized to open the X server on my machine? Edit the /etc/X11/Xsession file and insert line xhost +paladin in the beginning of it. Same can be done for discover as well. HTH, Andrew --- Andrei S. Ivanov [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN 12402354 http://members.tripod.com/AnSIv --Little things for Linux.
