Siempre me ha parecido muy agradable que al iniciar una sesión
aparezcan este tipo de frases celebres, graciosas o ingeniosas,

He mirado en la web de Debian y no aparece ningun fortunes-es.

Hablando del xmcd, ¿consigues que te autocargue el módulo de sonido?. En
mi caso no lo hace y sin embargo otras cosas como xplaycd o saytime sí
lo hacen. Es curioso porque si lo pongo a cargar en el arranque todo va
bien, y lo mismo si el módulo de sonido se autocarga alguna vez (p.ej.,
con saytime o xplaycd). Una vez que se ha {auto}cargado una vez, aunque
se descargue, ya me lo autocarga el xmcd correctamente (hasta el
siguiente arranque).
¿Os pasa lo mismo?

I know the 9Gig disk might cause trouble but its not booting from it so it should be ok (is this correct?). Does anyone have any ideas on how to get it booting from a HD???

Trying to configure PPP
I wonder if I have a modem that's not supported by Linux. After configuring PPP (this was during the install) it tried to dial, then displayed the following messages: /usr/sbin/pppd: in file /etc/ppp/peers/provider: unrecognized option '/dev/modem' Couldn't establish connection I have a Gateway PC with an internal Telepath modem (it says it's with x2 and adheres to ITU-T V.34 recommendations, whatever that means!) I've had to re-install Windows a few times (and that's why I'm trying Linux!), and found that the Plug-and-Play software couldn't identify the modem, so I had to go into the device manager and delete the modem (it had put it under other devices.) Then Windows correctly found the modem under COM2. Is there some similar process that I have to do under Linux? Peter Christensen

Module screwups after kernel build
Good people-- I built a 2.0.36 kernel today so I could have SCSI support, among other things. In fact, I did it a few times. Each time, I found that I had lost support for my NE2000 Ethernet card, which I had previously installed with modconf. When I ran modconf again, there was hardly anything there, just an option called dummy. (No comments, please.) I copied ne.o and 8390.o from /lib/modules/2.0.36.old/net (I had previously build 2.0.36.old as a backup directory) to /lib/modules/2.0.36/net (the current modules location). modconf worked, ifconfig worked, I was on the Net again, but now I get these messages at bootup or when I do depmod -a, even after update-modules: /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/8390.o: unresolved symbol(s) /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/ne.o: unresolved symbol(s) I've been through the archives of this list and seen that many people have had similar problems, but people usually tell them to do depmod -a or something, which doesn't work for me.

Sanity check: you did remember to select the module when you configured the kernel? Note that, in section Network device support you need to enable Network device support, then Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit), then Other ISA cards, in order to get to NE2000/NE1000 ISA support which makes the module ne.o (and 8390.o if it's not already included for something else). modconf only shows the available modules. With the Debian prepackaged kernels, they include a lot of modules so that a greater number of people can use the package. When you build your own, you only include what you need and therefore the modconf list is much shorter.

linux boot troubles
Hi all, have some problems with Linux boot up. It all started when I was having major problems in Windows and had to reinstall Windows. Afterwards, windows kind of took over lilo and wouldn't show the lilo prompt after I hold down the shift key anymore. This has happened before, and I would just boot Linux off of a disk and run lilo again. But this time the disk doesn't work for some reason. It would start and say: boot:. After I type in linux and hit enter, it gives me a boot failure message. What is going on? Do I have a bad boot disk or something? Thanks in advance. M

Newbie trouble: How to log on as root
Hi Debians I'm a newbie; just managed to boot my 486/66 (28 ram, 540 WD HD) onto Linux late last night, and all seems to be well and good, only I can't install anything. Dselect won't let me choose the access method to use (I'm installing from the dos-partition, because the computer isn't connected to the internet). What dselect does is: loads fine, no errors. When I choose 0 Access enter it empties the screen and tells me this at the bottom: dselect: unable to open/create access method lockfile: Permission denied and the $-prompt. My guess is: 1. I have to be root to do this 2. I could have set something wrong when assigning privileges to (the one and only) user: me?! How do I change from user to root when Linux by default asks for my user password on startup? Is it possible to change the user-privileges to allow me a large degree of freedom within the system as user (suppose it is, but how?!) I can't wait to exterminate my microsoft apps, and I'm really excited about this, so I'm looking forward to your answers. Regards Vitux

When you first set up your computer, you had to put in a password. To access this account, type su. Then just type the password. This will give you full access to everything. Alternatively, you can log in as root and your password. Hope this helps Colin Winters

Using disks 8GB
I've recently installed a Maxtor 90845D4 8.4GB EIDE disk as the second disk in an old standby intel slink system I use. I've run into 2 problems: 1. The system does not see past 8GB. This is not a big deal but it would be nice to access the complete disk. How can this be done?? 2. The problem system is an old pentium running Award bios 4.5. Attempts to boot an installed system from HD with Lilo have failed, boot floppies however succeed. Boots fail shortly after finding, and correctly reporting, the system disks, with a kernel panic as it attempts to seek beyond the end of media. I'm attempting to boot with a minimal system from the first disk partition, starting at cylinder 0, and believe I'm below the 1024 cylinder limit. Maxtor provides EZ-BIOS with their disk as a work around for systems having an older bios. Linux does not appear to use this feature. E.g., after loading EZ-BIOS and completing the install, attempts to boot the system using the boot floppy made during the install will only succeed if EZ-BIOS is not loaded. If EZ-BIOS is loaded and a rescue floppy booted it is possible to mount the filesystems but attempts to read or write the files fail. The same process succeeds if EZ-BIOS is not loaded. Any help or suggestions you may be able to provide will be greatly appreciated. Lance -- Lance Helleremail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Re: Newbie trouble: How to log on as root
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How do I change from user to root when Linux by default asks for my user password on startup? root is another username, that happens to have special privileges. To log in as root, use the name `root' when you are asked to log in, and then give the password that you were asked to assign to root (the superuser) while you were installing the base system. When you type `exit' or ctrl-d you are returned to the login prompt. If you are already logged in, you can use the command `su -' to become root, as if you had logged in directly as root. This command prompts you for the superuser password. When you type `exit' or ctrl-d you are returned to your own session. Is it possible to change the user-privileges to allow me a large degree of freedom within the system as user (suppose it is, but how?!) It is possible, but undesirable to do this.

Add the user to one or more of these groups: dialout, cdrom, floppy, sudo, (et cetera, see /etc/group). It won't make the user exactly root-like, but it's a start. Better to add more privileges as you see the need, rather than give blanket root privileges to another account, which kind of defeats the pur- pose of the user account protections.

SV: OT: dual processor question
Hi. I can't recall any ps/2 model being able to run a dual processor setup, definitely not the old ones. What the other socket is for is most likely a coprocessor, or FPU, which would speed things up a bit when running programs that have the capability of using an FPU, like CAD/CAM applications, some graphical and layout progs and so on. In my opinion the most efficient way of upgrading your old PS/2's would be to install more ram. Ram is good for all functions in the computer, not just the floating-point calculations. About breaking the 'board: It depends which proc's are installed. Late 486's and on mostly have a small lever on the side of the socket, which you lift and the proc' is released. 386: use moderate violence. Try to support the 'board so it won't die from stress. A cowboy-trick is to gently wedge a small screwdriver between the proc' and socket and try to pry it off.
