Lo más sencillo será cogérselas prestadas a windows. Las fuentes de windows están en el directorio C:\windows\fonts pero creo que se guardan comprimidas o en algún formato raro, por lo que para cogerlas habrá que utilizar el propio explorador de windows y copiar temporalmente las fuentes que nos interesen a otro directorio.

AAccttiivvaannddoo llaass ffuueenntteess Para tener acceso a las nuevas fuentes hay que reiniciar el servidor de fuentes truetype, como root tecleamos: rvmsoft:/home/ricardo# /etc/init.d/xfstt restart Reloading X True Type Font Server configuration... Stopping X TrueType Font Server: xfstt. xfstt: sync in directory /usr/share/fonts/truetype/. Found 7 fonts. Starting X TrueType Font Server: xfstt. Y por último, para que el servidor X pueda acceder a las fuentes tenemos que añadirlas al path: xset +fp unix/:7101 Lo mejor será añadir esta orden al ~/.xsession para no tener que estar tecleándola todo el rato. ¡Ya está! Ahora desde casi cualquier programa de las X podemos escoger cualquiera de las fuentes TrueType. Y además el aspecto de las páginas web mostradas por el netscape mejorará bastante si hemos instalado las fuentes Verdana, Tahoma, y algunas otras que se suelen utilizar con frecuencia en las páginas realizadas en windows.

cfdisk no reconoce particion NTFS
Buenos Dias a todos/as. Os cuento: Tenía en un PC compartiendo winnt y DEBIAN 2.1 ( la lite de Citius que venia con la última Linux Actual ) en tres particiones. Una fat16, una linux ext2 y linux swap y todo funcionaba ok. Pero ayer a mis compañeros de oficina se les ocurrió la feliz idea de reinstalar el nt para cambiar su tipo de partición a ntfs. Y ahí me han fastidiado porque el nt ha reparticionado el disco borrándome mi flamante DEBIAN :'( Y no solo eso, sino que encima, cuando he ido a reinstalarlo me he dado cuenta de que cfdisk parece no soportar ese tipo de partición y me dice algo asi como partición primaria incorrecta. ¿ que puedo hacer? ¿ alguien sabe como se soluciona esto ? Muchas Gracias de antemano. Antonio
Re: TrueType Super-mini-howto
Gracias por tu contribución maxo, seguro que mucha gente lo agradecerá... Yo también uso fuentes True-type con las X, lo único que echo en falta es el anti-aliasing, para los que no sepan que es, anti-aliasing hace que las fuentes tengan un aspecto presentable y que por ejemplo no se vean los palitos de la W juntos, etc... en fin... fuentes suaves tipo winblows y MacOS que se ven perfectamente... en X las fuentes se ven gorrinas porque todavía no tiene anti-aliasing.. y la razón de decir todo esto... ¿no sabrás por casualidad de algún sitio donde alguien haya sacado un parche o algo para que haya anti-aliasing en las X?

Problema son sb16
Saludos a la lista Por fin tras varios días de horror y fracasos he decidido dirigirme a la lista para ver si alguien puede echarme una mano. Supongo que la cuestión es bastante trivial y conocida pero bueno ahí va: No puedo hacer que funcione mi tarjeta de sonido Sound Blaster 16 pnp. Primero intenté compilar el kernel que tenía era el 2.0.36 sin llegar a ninguna solución; me imagine que este núcleo no admitía tarjetas pnp así que me baje el 2.2.10 que es el que tengo ahora instalado. También intente instalar un paquete que venía en la distribución Debian que tengo "Alsa Drivers" sin saber muy bien para que valía y por supuesto no conseguí nada. En el kernel que tengo he activado el pnp y he instalado la sound blaster pero estoy seguro que me falta alguna opción. Cada vez que intento mandar algo al dispositivo de audio /dev/audio (que también le cree ya que por defecto no lo tenia con MAKEDEV audio) me dice que el dispositivo no lo soporta. Os mando el listado de /dev/sndstat por si sirve de ayuda, las IRQ e I/O son las mismas que tengo en güindos pero en dispositivos de audio no me aparece ninguno, y en MIDI como he puesto el loopback he hecho trampas y tampoco vale: OSS/Free:3.8s2++-971130 Load type: Driver compiled into kernel Kernel: Linux cronos 2.2.10 #7 Sat Jul 10 22:38:27 CEST 1999 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 1: OPL-2/OPL-3 FM Type 26: MPU-401 (UART) Type 2: Sound Blaster Type 29: Sound Blaster PnP Type 7: SB MPU-401 Type 37: Loopback MIDI Device Card config: (Sound Blaster at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1,5) (SB MPU-401 at 0x330 irq 1 drq 0) (OPL-2/OPL-3 FM at 0x388 drq 0) Loopback MIDI Device drq 0 Audio devices: Synth devices: Midi devices: 0: Loopback MIDI Port 1 1: Loopback MIDI Port 2 Timers: 0: System clock Mixers: Tambien adjunto el listado de proc/devices para comprobar que el driver está instalado. No obstante cuando arranco el sistema me dice que ha instalado los drivers de sonido pero no me dice nada de las irq e i/o como pone en las HOWTO, no se si será normal con las versiones del núcleo que estoy utilizando. Una vez que esto funcione (porque lo tengo que conseguir como sea) me gustaría instalar los drivers como módulos para ahorrar un poco de memorieta a ver si me podéis dar algún consejillo. También me gustaría saber que son los ALSA Drivers, si son módulos que diferencia hay con los que vienen en el núcleo. Character devices: 1 mem 2 pty 3 ttyp 4 ttyS 5 cua 7 vcs 10 misc 14 sound 128 ptm 136 pts Block devices: 2 fd 3 ide0 22 ide1 Gracias a todos, estoy empezando con LINUX y después de probar con varias distribuciones la que más me gusta es la DEBIAN ya que me permite controlar mejor que es lo que instalo (supongo que me he acostumbrado al sistema dpkg y dselect) pero todavía estoy muy verde, si veis alguna cosa rara en algún dispositivo que he instalado y no vale para nada por favor decírmelo por que es la primera vez que compilo el núcleo y seguro que he metido cosas que no son comunes y me he dejado fuera algo importante.

Alguém de Portugal na lista?
Olá, Desculpe por não responder as mensagens que me enviaram. O motivo para esta pergunta foi porque estava precisando colocar o suporte do idioma Português no DebianDoc (um dos pacotes da Debian utilizado para geração de documentos SGML, como o manual de instalação da Debian). Ardo Van Rangelroij mantém este pacote e perguntei se seria possível também a inclusão do suporte a mensagens do Portugês de Portugal (aproveitando o embalo da inclusão do Brasileiro). Como o Idioma Português do Brasil é um pouco diferente do Português de Portugal, não ficaria bom eu mesmo fazer a tradução das mensagens. Nuno Nunes (Obrigado Nuno!, sua tradução e adaptação do Script ficou perfeita!) fez a tradução das mensagens do Script em Perl para o idioma pt_PT (Português de Portugal) enquando eu inclui o suporte ao pt_BR (português do Brasil). O suporte ao idioma Português no DebianDoc é o primeiro a incluir suporte a idiomas de 2 paises diferentes (Brasil e Portugal). O DebianDoc utiliza a variável de ambiente LANG para saber qual idioma utilizar por padrão na geração de documentos. A configuração no DebianDoc foi definida para a seguinte: Se lang= pt = Será utilizada a tradução de Nuno (Portugal) pt_BR = Brasil pt_BR.ISO8859-1 = Brasil pt_PT = Portugal pt_PT.ISO8859-1 = Portugal A versão atual do DebianDoc é a 1.1.26. Acredito que estas alterações entrem na versão 1.1.28 (ou 29), por causa de um bug que descobri na versão 1.1.26 no arquivo debiandoc2latex2e. obrigado a: Nuno Faria Nuno Miguel Fernandes Nuno Nunes Mario Jorge Nunes Filipe Salvador Pinto Abreu por responderem a mensagem. Estive comentando com Nuno Nunes sobre as diferenças entre o Português do brasil e o Português de Portugal, e enviei uma mensagem aos mantedores da Debian sobre a possibilidade de incluir o suporte por países ao invés de ser por idiomas no pacote boot-floppies, assim poderiamos também colocar o suporte ao Português de Portugal no boot-floppies.

Primeira versão do manual oficial do manual de instalação da Debian em Português
Ola para todos, Já enviei o manual de instalação em Português para o CVS da Debian, e ele já esta disponível no boot-floppies da Slink (será colocado na potato em breve, porque a área trunk ainda não está liberada para documentação, somente para binários do dbootstrap). O arquivo lang_pt.h traduzido pela equipe do Linux Labs também esta lá. Enviei uma cópia da versão oficial em formato texto e HTML para Paulo Henrique Batista, ele colocará em breve na sua página para disponibilizar a todos. O manual de instalação da Debian traz explicações sobre a instalação em sistemas Alpha, Intel x86, Motorola (m68k, Atari, Amiga, Macintosh), e Sparc. Atualmente a Debian é a única distribuição que tem suporte a mais arquiteturas (e na Potato serão implementadas oficialmente mais 3: Arm, Powerpc e Mips). Eu identifiquei as diferentes versões do manual de instalação pela seguinte forma: install.pt-alpha.txt ==manual de instalação para sistemas Alpha install.pt-i386.txt ==manual de instalação para sistemas Intel (386..) install.pt-m68k.txt ==manual de instalação para sistemas Motorola install.pt-sparc.txt ==manual de instalação para sistemas Sparc Se você tiver um computador 386, 486, Pentium, etc, então pegue a versão que tem um i386 no meio do nome. Estão disponíveis também as versões em HTML (que acho bem mais práticas caso tiver um navegador, porque clicando nas URLs você será levado a página correspondente). Existem também a versão para PowerPc na Slink, mas ainda não foi amplamente testada e pode conter muitas falhas, mas se alguém desejar envio diretamente. Ainda tenho que fazer algumas pequenas correções no manual de instalação e adaptar as URLs para servidores Brasileiros (alguém sabe por qual motivo o servidor ftp.br.debian.org não está funcionando? tentei copiar arquivos no final de semana e hoje e algumas horas se encontrava fora de funcionamento). Se alguém encontrar algum problema com o manual, envie uma mensagem para a lista debian-l10n-portuguese alertando sobre o fato ou diretamente para meu E-Mail. Fiz a tradução dos documentos release-notes e dselect-beginner segunda e terça feira passada, sinceramente eu não conheço bem o programa dselect (utilizo o dpkg diretamente, gosto de quebrar a cabeça com as dependências dos pacotes ;) ) por causa disso é possível que ele tenha algumas falhas (alguém que conheçe bem o dselect e que tem tempo pode revisar este documento?). A tradução do manual de instalação em Portugues está baseada na versão 1.77 do manual de instalação original (Inglês), a mais atual. Vou atualiza-la semanalmente assim que ocorrerem modificações. Resolvi acompanhar o sistema de revisões com a versão Inglêsa. Assim se a versão em Inglês é 1.77 e a em português também é 1.77, você pode ter certeza que está usando a versão mais atual do manual de instalação em Portugues. Tenho orgulho de dizer que a documentação em Português é a mais atualizada no momento. As maiores alterações stão ocorrendo na documentação para plataformas não-Intel (principalmente a m68k, porque a documentação não detalhava todos os sistemas (como o VME e VMEbus)). A tradução do lang_pt.h também está acompanhando a tradução do original em inglês juntamente com a versão em russo (ru) e slovaka(sk), e fiz a atualização de sua versão incluindo as mensagens de seleção de teclado em Português.

Here is the problems that I ran into, when trying something different, and maybe you guys can help me out a bit. I ran the standard install using the install disks (Binary - The orange one). When it came time for me to select which type of install I wanted, I chose Basic - because I want the freedom to pick and choose which debs I want later. I know I could have done custom, but hey I'm also relatively lazy in scrolling through some 1500 debs:) Anyway it was time for the reboot. After I rebooted, I picked my root passwd and established a user, and then dselect came up. The screen prior to it stated that just use Access, Install, and Configure, because I had already picked the debs to install. Makes sense. So since I rebooted and I saw that it found my nic, why not use the ftp access option and get the latest and greatest right? I ftp'd to Debian and bam I was instantly downloading the latest and greatest stuff. Way cool. Install - Oh CRAP!! Error after error after error, and then finally sorry dpkg stated too many errors. OK, now what. Since the errors were so many, and so frequent I could only catch glimpses of the error codes. Namely ncurses comes to mind. Obviously configure won't work, and it didn't, I tried. What did I do wrong? It would appear that I was supposed to install form the CD, but where on the CD are these files? I didn't see them. And since I can't do what I tried, it should have been in the docs not to do that. Has anyone else seen this problem? TIA, much appreciated. When installing lots of files (which you're trying to do), the ftp method for dselect can run into problems with dependencies. I'd suggest you download and install apt manually, then start dselect, go to the [A]ccess menu and select the apt method. As far as your current problem, you can try running dselect-install again (sometimes it takes several passes to get everything worked out right).

Suggestion for Newbie Support
In the ongoing discussion surrounding how to best support newer Debian Linux users, a couple of comments: 1. For those volunteering to work on various FAQ documents. Try to get your work into the true Debian FAQ's and not some strange offshoot FAQ only available on the web somewhere. It's going to make Debian that much better and many more copies of the info will be out there in the end result. 2. Posting a large FAQ to the list regularly is a bad idea for those who have to pay for bandwidth. Perhaps an auto-posting every once in a while with a URL and instructions on where to find the official FAQ's would be useful, but if someone's done their homework, they'll already have read the official FAQ info and will remember where they saw the question answered anyway. 3. The IRC servers available for Debian have EXCELLENT support tools, including a couple of indispensable infobots named dpkg and apt. Dpkg helps people look for .deb's in the unstable or stable trees, and apt is an infobot that has been taught a wealth of things. For example, sending a message to the apt bot saying apt, slink-potato? will get you info on upgrading from slink to potato. For those that have never been on IRC, the people there are just as friendly and helpful as the folks on debian-user. Use irc.debian.org or better yet, one of the mirrors that's close to you... more info is on the debian Web pages. 4. Bandwidth: Don't copy the entire message inline that you're replying to! We don't all need to read it again, just clip enough to remind us of the question and answer it. Simple netiquette. 5. People answering questions should try to use references to on-line documentation whenever possible. Any person who's got half of this stuff memorized is doing a disservice to a new person by simply answering the question without showing that person WHERE to learn it the next time.

Hi, this is my proposal for a posting, it got longer than intended, but it is a good one, I believe (corrections welcomed). It is too long for a weekly posting, but it is a good welcome mail one should get on subscription. And it can be made available on the net (and in a newbie-doc package). I will see, if I can extract a (at most) two pages version for a weekly posting. Ciao, Martin HOW TO DEAL WITH YOU DEBIAN PROBLEM Something doesn't work like it should? You spend some hours and still no go? You are frustrated,and you want to post to debian-user for help? This is OK, and if follow a few rules, you are also likely to receive good help. Keep clam. Doing something in stress is never helpful when trying to solve a problem. Drink some tea, go for a walk. Did you check the right spots for help? The documentation is found in /usr/doc/package/, keep an eye for a file called README.Debian. It can contain tips and special options used for the package. General documentation is in the HOWTO documents in /usr/doc/HOWTO/. If you have the dhelp package installed, call dhelp to read it in the browser. The dwww package will also give you access all documentation available on your system, so install it. Check the manual pages. man command or man configfile will show you how to use a program. Under X, tkman is a nicer way to access this. Use the apropos command to look for a keyword in the manpage description (dwww has fulltext search). $ apropos password chage (1)- change user password expiry information chpasswd (8) - update password file in batch dpasswd (8) - change dialup password Then read the manpage with man 8 chpasswd. Use www.dejanews.com. They also archive the Debian mailinglists, so try a few keyword. Extra tip: A good reading for new Linux users is the Debian Tutorial at http://www.debian.org/~hp/debian-tutorial.html http://packages.debian.org will help you if you are looking for some file, program or package. So still no go, and you want to post to debian-user? Ok, you read some documentation and found things that will help you in the future, but the problem at hand still persists. The bunch at the Debian userlist is helpful, but the mailvolume is high, so you should follow the following rules when posting to debian-user - it will help you get your answers faster, and it will help everyone who answers postings. - Start a new thread When you post a question, don't kidnap a thread by pressing reply, killing the text and filling you question. Your question will appear as part of some thread, so it may be missed by someone who could help you, but ignored this thread. Instead, mail your question to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This will start your own thread. - Choose your subject wisely Many user just browse the list of subjects, and pick the mails about a topic they know or are interested in. So HELP is not a good subject, Proftpd doesn't allow anon access is. It also features a wise to do thing. It lists the packagename in the subject. If a maintainer browses the subject list, he usually configured the reader to highlight threads about his packages. So this helps to bring your question to the attention of the right people. Don't post unrelated questions in one mail. Better split it in multiple mails. - Keep the form Keeping an eye on the form of your posting will allow easier reading, and will enhance your chances of getting an answer. o Turn of HTML o Turn of vcard, ms-tnef and such o Wordwrap your posting at around 70 characters o Seperate your signature with -- , this wil allow a program to hide it and exclude it on replys automatically When replying o Shorten the citation, only leave the relevant parts you are answering to (= no fullquote, don't quote the signature) o You can use elipsis like [... ppp log ...] Your logfile looks OK to me, maybe the problem is at ... o Don't answer on top of the cited (full)quote. Insert your answer after the part you are answering to. You read from top to down, right? This makes it easier to follow the thoughts, as a reader doesn't have to switch between the reply and the part it relates to (which he has to find). NO: YES: Hi, Hi, It is set to no.

Re: Debian Install woes..
Don't panic. If the system is letting you log in, then no permanent damage is done (i.e. you DON'T need to reinstall everything.) Here's what to do: See if you have the 'script' command available; it is in a base package, but onot priority essential, so you may or may not have it. If you don't have it, then download the bsdutils_???.deb (I don't know the version) from the main/binary-i386/basesubdir of your favorite debian distribution (you can try 'find /cdrom -name 'bsduti*'' to see if its on the cdrom, after you mount the cdrom on /cdrom). Once you have script available ( it's /usr/bin/script), run it as root, then go into dselect and re-run the dselect 'configure' option'. Type 'exit' to kill the shell that script started, and you will see a message that the output file is 'typescript'. Mail this file to the debian-user list, and we will comment on how to fix things. Note that, depending on what access emthod you chose in dselect, you may have to iterate the 'install' option a few times before everything will install successfully. This is fixed with apt, since apt knows what order to isntall things in. The older install methods install things in the wrong order, so you have to choose 'install' over and over. But, do the script thing. mail it in, and we will try to help you. Carl

HP Laserjet 1100
Petru
* From: Petru NOTINGHER [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a HP1100 Printer + Scanner. I use magicfilter to
print, but the best resolution I got is only 300 dpi
(with the laserjetplus filter), whilst the printer
supports 600 dpi.
Does anybody knows what filter should be used for a
better resolution on this printer?
I'm thinking of buying a Laserjet 1100 myself, so I was
doing a bit of browsing in DejaNews yesterday. This is from
there (comp.os.linux.hardware back in March I think): hope
it gives you some hints.
---included stuff---
Has anyone got this printer working properly with
ghostscript 5.10+? Taking a look at the 1100's page on
HP and the ghostscript homepage, I see that the 1100
supports PCL5e, whereas most of the laserjets that
ghostscript supports seem to be PCL3. I'm not too sure
of the compatibilities between PCL5e and PCL3.. anyone
got any experience with it?
Well, part way. I'm running gs-aladdin 5.50 (Debian
packaging). The printer is run via apsfilter, set up for
PCL4. Seems to work fine, if no fireball. It would be
much faster to have a true PostScript printer (like at
work). No real complaints so far, though. Nice printing.
If it is more reliable than the Brother printer that it
replaced, I will be quite satisfied.
I have a HP 1100A and its has been working perfectly
using the HP Laserjet 4/5/6 selection from the RedHat
printer control panel, which of course sets up the
ghostscript preamble.

RE: Suggestion for Newbie Support
Good note Nate, 1. For those volunteering to work on various FAQ documents. Try to get your work into the true Debian FAQ's and not some strange offshoot FAQ only available on the web somewhere. The only problem I see with this is that the current FAQ's are highly technical and prepared by people who clearly know a lot about debian. Sometimes this leads to a style and content which is not really newbie friendly IMHO. It can be hard to see how a newbie guide could be incorporated into some of the established FAQ's. 2. Posting a large FAQ to the list regularly is a bad idea for those who have to pay for bandwidth. Good point. 3. The IRC servers available for Debian have EXCELLENT support tools, including a couple of indispensable infobots named dpkg and apt. Dpkg helps people look for .deb's in the unstable or stable trees, and apt is an infobot that has been taught a wealth of things. Again a great suggestion. The problem is that a newbie is unlikely to use an IRC infobot for the real basics. 4. Bandwidth: Don't copy the entire message inline that you're replying to! We don't all need to read it again, just clip :-) 5. People answering questions should try to use references to on-line documentation whenever possible. Some of the best answers here essentially show a newbie how to find it out for themselves but also answer the question posed by the poster. This means they get the problem sorted out quickly but also gain the tools they need to answer their own questions in the future. Good post, thanks. Jason.

Re: 3Com 509B Ethernet card working in Windows but not in Linux
Only problem I've ever had with a 509B was that it was configured to use the BNC port when I had a TP network and vice-versa. Check that this is not the case. Also, if you have only one network card in your system, it's perfectly safe to compile the 905B support _into_ the kernel rather than as a module which will save you a little trouble if you're a newbie. Try checking for IRQ/IO conflicts. The card has two modes: A pnp mode and a legacy mode. For simplicity's sake, try putting it in legacy mode and give it IO and IRQ settings that work in windows. Now try it in linux. That's about all I can think of now.

[Fwd: Lynx Problems]
Those who have been pondering my Lynx problems might care to comment on this message I received from a guy who answered a post elsewhere. If he is correct, it appears that I may have been trying to do something that even experts would find difficult. Subject: Re: lynx configuration Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 20:02:19 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Doug Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] hello, now i understand the source of your problem. you are trying to use a copy of lynx found on a distribution copy of linux. just a suggestion, linux is not for a beginner, as you have self described yourself. almost every part of it must be setup and configured by someone who knows more then a casual experience with it. when you see people talking about using linux on the discussion groups, they are dialing into an internet provider where the copy of linx resides. there computer is in fact operating that computer remotely; so a command made on their computer goes over the phone line through the modem and is recieved and performed by the remote computer. what ever results from that command appears on the local computer. if you really want to use linux and operate a copy of linx on it, you need help from someone who knows the linux operating system and how to set things up. i have only a minimal knowledge of linux. a second choice is to find a copy of linx which operates either under dos or windows, such do exist. a third way to use linx is as i do and as i have just described above, to use my computer to operate a remote computer which has linx on it. if you want to pursue using linx on linux, i can direct you to a group of blind linux users. let me know, dan On Thu, 22 Jul 1999, Doug Young wrote: what i had you do was the most basic function in lynx. my thought at this time is that the particular copy your isp is using is bad, I got the Debian CD set including Lynx from LSL (http:..www.lsl.com.au) so the server isn't involved in any way. possibly mis-compiled. I wouldn't have the faintest idea about compiling anything Lynx was just an option to select in Debians dselect utility so thats where it came from. I didn't get any dialog or config script / instructions / whatever if you give directly an url such as i had you do, a start file is not needed. have you consulted with your isp about this? I may be missing something here but I can't understand what the server has to do with Lynx not running on a local box . every application I run on Windows, Mandrake, Solaris boxes works fine so I don't think its a server problem lynx is quite straight forward in use and function and is very stable in operation, thus i feel it is in the specific copy you are trying to use. Someone instructed me how to tell what version .. turned out to be the current one, but due to the total absence of intelligible documentation I don't have any idea what its even supposed to look like in action do i assume correctly that you are using lynx via a modem using your computer as a terminal hey I'm a newbie at this stuff I wouldn't know a terminal if I tripped over one :( to run it on an isp's machine; and not using a copy of lynx that runs on your computer? Lynx is definitely installed on a local box, I didn't even realize it was possible to run it on another machine .. the Debian box will dialup to server and make a ppp connection thats about all it will do dan

X server for crappy Packard Hell machine
Hi, I have installed debian slink on an old Packard Hell computer. Most things work fine, but the standard XF86_SVGA xserver appears to have some problems - it works, sort of, but once the screen gets busy I get random pixels going the wrong color. It appears as if video memory is sometimes getting randomly corrupted. If I was running windows, I would suspect a bad video driver - but I'm not running a video driver. I am sure that this is a case of crappy hardware, but I also know that windows managed to work around it somehow, so it can be done. Since the only documentation I have on the hardware is a sticker on the box which says 1Mb video memory upgradable to 2Mb, I configured X by accepting all the defaults I could find, and probing for anything it would let me probe for. This, of course, is probably what went wrong. Does anyone have any tips on how I can figure out how X *should* have been configured, or whether it would have been possible to use one of the accelerated servers instead of the basic one?

Installation suggestion: recommend recompiling kernel
Hi there, I was just thinking about the fact that the answer to many questions that I see on the list (mostly how do I get sound?) is recompile your kernel. Also the fact that recompiling the kernel is pretty much recommended in any situation. It occurred to me that perhaps, after the rest of the installation is finished, it might be possible to ask Recompiling your kernel is required to enable sound and is recommended in any case in order to tune the performance of your machine. Do you wish to configure and recompile your kernel now? [default yes]. What version of the kernel would you like to install? [list of available kernel-source versions] Then, after [downloading and] installing kernel-source, you would be dropped into a restricted version of make menuconfig - I say restricted because many of the options are confusing to a newbie (if you enable this option and type mknod bananana, you will get a device /dev/ook. You can use ioctl on this file with the SIOCHEDGEHOG parameter to move your computer through lspace and murder your grandfather) and could be hidden behind an advanced tab somewhere. Even better, look at the modules that were enabled when the user did their modconf and take all the other modules out of the kernel by default. Also, some of the modules could be defaulted to compiled in, when there are no parameters needed. The installation process could then run an appropriate make-kpkg and dpkg command for you. Of course, this whole sequence should be available again later by running an appropriate command. Thoughts? Stuart.

Re: X server for crappy Packard Hell machine
Actually, if you only have 1 MB of video RAM I would suggest picking up an 8 meg card some where for a nominal fee. X likes video ram. Also you may want to get on the net and try to figure out what king of card you have. http://www.windrivers.com/ has a great site for identifying your hardware using pictures of the chipsets among other things. Then maybe you can select the right settings in XF86Config. Also I think maybe you pixelation is probably caused by the default color depth. try to set it to 16bpp or 24bpp and see how that works. sounds to me like you may even have the XF86_VGA server running and not know it. -- We're associates of your business partner, Marcellus Wallace.

3Com 509B Ethernet card working in Windows but not in Linux
I have used these cards with RedHat and Debian with both 2.0 and 2.2 kernels and they work fine. One thing to look out for is that they are ISA cards with some plug and play functions. The plug and play functionality is useless. Get the 3c5x9cfg program from the dos intsallation disks that come with the card. Boot your PC and go into BIOS setup. Next go int the Plug and Play settings and reserve an innterupt for non plug and play cards. Boot to DOS and then run the 3c5x9cfg program. There should be an option to manualy setup the card, turn of plug and play and then set it to the interupt that you reserved in the bios setup. It should work fine then so long as you have the correct module to load or compile the drivers into the kernel. Pat

For ppp it should go in the netmask statement should go in /etc/ppp/options.ttyS? You might want to make sure it's not being overriden in /etc/ppp/peers/provider (or whatever you've called that file on your system). I have a number of real IP addresses for personal use, and I'm apparently supposed to use subnet mask 255.255.255.248 with them on my LAN, but I guess I need to use 255.255.255.0 for the dialup connection to server. It really shouldn't make any difference. Since you are using a Point to Point link, all of your outgoing traffic has to go to the gateway machine (ie the machine you're dialing into). I have set 255.255.255.248 OK, Where? nslookup seems to tell me that the connection is established OK, but I can only ping one of the two DNS numbers the other one doesn't seem to do anything. I seriously doubt these are related but the only way to say for sure is for you to post your address block and the address of the DNS servers in question.

Subject: Re: lynx configuration Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 20:02:19 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Doug Young [EMAIL PROTECTED] hello, now i understand the source of your problem. you are trying to use a copy of lynx found on a distribution copy of linux. just a suggestion, linux is not for a beginner, as you have self described yourself. almost every part of it must be setup and configured by someone who knows more then a casual experience with it. when you see people talking about using linux on the discussion groups, they are dialing into an internet provider where the copy of linx resides. there computer is in fact operating that computer remotely; so a command made on their computer goes over the phone line through the modem and is recieved and performed by the remote computer. what ever results from that command appears on the local computer. if you really want to use linux and operate a copy of linx on it, you need help from someone who knows the linux operating system and how to set things up. i have only a minimal knowledge of linux. a second choice is to find a copy of linx which operates either under dos or windows, such do exist. a third way to use linx is as i do and as i have just described above, to use my computer to operate a remote computer which has linx on it. if you want to pursue using linx on linux, i can direct you to a group of blind linux users. let me know, dan He's right. Thats why people who know, use Debian. What do you think the maintainer does. Stuff a program into a package without checking it out and setting it up so that it will run? Lynx runs right out of the box. It works and works well. Just because you haven't been able to read and understand the manuals is no reason to condem it. You are doing/saying the same thing about LRP. Because you can't understand the manuals, you are off on a rant about why people can't write manuals you can understand. I have been tryong to help you with both LRP and Lynx since July 18, off this list. I directed you to the Howto's then and I just finished a reply to you where you asked me What language are the Howto's written in. You have yet to read them but complain how bad the docs are. I've had it. I tried to help. I've had 11 personal mails from you and you have not done one thing yet, on your own. Every mail is a complaint that the Linux Docs are bad and Windows is better. Well I have done all I can. I have had a feeling for the last two days, seeing all of your negative comments, that you were a troll. Now it doesn't matter. Don't ask me for any more help.
