So add p to any non-blank line? I'd like to know a one-liner for this too.

If Mark you do Mark So the question is, what do you do which creates this file??? Did you try configuring the kernel? I think this is the problem. I shouldn't have to do the configuring myself because make-kpkg should do it for me. For some reason it seems that it doesn't. It sounds like a bug with make-kpkg. I think I have got around it by first using make-kpkg to create a kernel package. Then, without doing make-kpkg clean, I then set the target to modules_image (the PCMCIA modules stuff).

Re: more real runlevels?
If so, what _is_ the proper way to do this with Debian? You can just delete the links you don't want I've always felt that it's better to change the link from S to K, instead of just deleting it. Say for example you delete the xdm link from runlevels 2, 3, and 4. So you change to 5, xdm starts. You change back to 2, and xdm stays running. To me the desired behavior would be that xdm is killed... Anyway, at worst this post might prevent people from deleting links and wondering why things aren't killed when lowering runlevels ;) I must admit that I never use runlevels, but if I want to remove something from the boot sequence (or whatever I should call that), I usually make a directory 'away' in the relevant /etc/rcwhatever and move the script there.

Keeping apt-get, dpkg dselect in sync
I use apt-get to keep this potato box up to date. However, I
often use dpkg -l to search for packages whose name I'm not
quite sure of. It was during one of these searches ('dpkg -l

according to dpkg is different to that of dselect and
apt-get.
dselect also 'knows' that syslogd isn't an available
package. How can this be? I understood that dselect and dpkg
used the same files (those in /var/lib/dpkg/).
How can I get dpkg, dselect and apt all in sync? Should I do

Re: Installing Debian from 2.1.R4 CD's...question
I would have to agree with Ron that the wording is confusing. I am a new user and as such easily confused. In my case the boot up kernel in resc1440.bin* recognized my NCR SCSI adapter, made reference to my SCSI CD-ROM in the boot up messages and went on to partition and mount my SCSI hard drives . But the kernel didn't have the Uniform CDROM Driver r. 2.54 for SCSI CD-ROMs available at boot up. So no CD-ROM from which to load the base system sigh!. This was the first time in any installation that my SCSI hard drives were addressable but the SCSI CD-ROM was not. To this newbie, it just didn't make sense. It took me awhile to understand the difference between those drivers actually _present and installed_ and those which were _supported_ and needed to be loaded later in the process. The installation document Ron references below states: Both SCSI and IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs are supported. In addition, all non-standard CD interfaces supported by Linux are supported by the boot disks (such as Mitsumi and Matsushita drives). However, these models might require special boot parameters or other massaging to get them to work, and booting off these non-standard interfaces is unlikely. The Linux CD-ROM HOWTO contains in-depth information on using CD-ROMs with Linux. The CD_ROM driver I sited above is standard, is not a special SCSI driver and was not referenced as one of those modules that would have to be loaded (as in the F help key information at bootup). I would have thought it would have been included in the initial kernel. Many thanks go out to those in the group who wrote to clarify the situation to me. In an earlier posting I described a work around using my Zip drive to do the installation. It should be noted that the kernel addressed my SCSI Zip drive right away!.

If that is the case then why is it that 'vfat' is listed in the select fs modules as something that must be explicitly requested? Shouldn't it be automatically installed? My point is that the wording is confusing. I am a new user and as such easily confused. By posting to this group as I attempt installation I am hopeful that I will get helpful answers such as yours so that I can avoid errors.

As far as I know, you need to do a dselect update to get the available
file that dpkg uses to be updated. You can do this without going into
the dselect interface by typing 'dselect update'. As you correctly
guess, if you do this using dselect's apt method then apt's database
will be updated too, so if you always replace 'apt-get update' by
'dselect update' then everything should work fine.
I'm not entirely convinced this isn't a bug ... it should at least be

set up cd-rw

Sideways printing?
Is there any way to get sideways printing (landscape)? I need this to print a4 envelopes.

Re: make-kpkg fail: can't find modversions.h (compiling pcmcia-modules)
Well I used make menuconfig, and then make dep, make modules, make modules_install, make bzImage and make bzlilo. Of course, by doing things like this, I have no idea what caused the modversions.h file to get where it has. Thanks. I've sort of solved the problem. I think maybe make dep or something like that creates the file. I use make-kpkg which automates all the above. It seems that make-kpkg doesn't work quite properly when you only make the pcmcia-modules package. You have to first make the kernel image package to get make-kpkg to work properly. Anyway, I've done that and it's now working. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Mark.

I think I have got around it by first using make-kpkg to create a kernel package. Then, without doing make-kpkg clean, I then set the target to modules_image (the PCMCIA modules stuff).

frozen broken at bootdisks and help with ADSL

After I reboot the system with the rescue disk and add the following line at the prompt: linux root=/dev/hdb1 . soo far soo good. Until here good and ok, I know that later I will be able to fix a new boot disk and lilo when I get the system installed. I am trying to intall via ADSL and can not get the interfaces working at all. I have installed the pptp.deb also and began to play with it and ifconfig to get the interfaces working. I can ping my ANT but can not manage to get the PPTP to work. I had read the ADSL howto but I cannot get the ppp0 interface to be active. do anyone has some ideas? and easy guide for a newbie!. I find the ADSL howto a bit poor and the the pptp does not have docs. I am reading now the PPP Howto to get some sense off all. thanks to all Andrés PS please CC to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: how to burn from iso file in xcdroast
I just went through this a couple of days ago. The commandline is: cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0 file Speed dev probably will be different on your box. I found this was much easier than doing it with xcdroast. Someone had mentioned that by just changing the extension from .iso to .raw, then xcdroast would be able to write it ok. I haven't tried it though. Thanks. I figure out how to get xcdroast to work though. In the write cd menu I enter the actual file name and path in the drop down box. I guess it only displays the names of files with a .raw extension there. Since xcdroast doesn't have a check box for 80 minute (700mb) disks, or support speeds of 10x or 12x (yet) it may be time to download the source and make some custom mods. I would also modify the drop down box to display both .raw and .iso files.

Re: Keeping apt-get, dpkg dselect in sync

You can do this without going into the dselect interface by typing 'dselect update'. As you correctly guess, if you do this using dselect's apt method then apt's database will be updated too, so if you always replace 'apt-get update' by 'dselect update' then everything should work fine. I'd already tried a dselect update before you replied. I'm left with dpkg reporting: |zippy:~$ dpkg -l syslog\* |Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold || Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed ||/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) |||/ NameVersion Description |+++-===-===-=== |un syslog-ng none (no description available) |pn syslog-summary none (no description available) |un syslogd none (no description available) A slight improvement, at least it's now found syslog-ng, which is what I was originally looking for. Thinking about it, most of what is happening *does* appear logical. I'm using the apt method with dselect and apt-get. Those two appear to be in sync. dpkg is the problem it's way out. I'm not entirely convinced this isn't a bug... Neither am I. Surely apt/dselect and dpkg should use the same database. Thanks for the reply.
gnus froze emacs20
Hello! I tried gnus, recommended by several people (thanks to all who responded!), and it froze my emacs20. Here's what I wrote to John Hasler, one of the people trying to help: --- I installed gnus (gnus_5.8.3-9.deb) on top of Emacs20. I launched emacs, started the tutorial, it seemed to be working. Then, I typed: M-x gnus It loaded backquote, loaded gnus, displayed 'Done', some kind of ascii-art logo in the Emacs window, the title-bar changed to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and Emacs stopped working. The menus (Buffers, Tools and the like) stopped responding. I tried to close the window with the close button (under X), but it did not close. I had to switch to the terminal window and hit Ctrl-C. Started emacs again, and tried Tools-Read news and Read mail. Both loaded backquote and gnus, and both froze the same way as described above. To tell you the truth, I have not read any of the documentation yet, except for the first few pages of the tutorial, but this doesn't look much good.

Re: X display
( what is olwm and many other apprev...I done no!!)? Missed this question. Olwm is a windows manager not a xserver. You can load one windows manager or several and then switch between them. Windows managers are what you seed when the xserver starts. Everyone has their favorite. I like fvwm95, but icewm, windowmaker, icewm-gnome, enlightment and others are available on the debian disks. Olwm is probably not one of the best. You also need a file manager. Take a look at TkDesk or midnight commander. John -- Powered by the Penguin
Re: gzip based on file date
Hello Lance Have a look at bash's built-in functions. I suggest using test. I qoute from the bash manual page: file1 -nt file2 True if file1 is newer (according to modifi cation date) than file2. file1 -ot file2 True if file1 is older than file2. Other than comparing two files, you probably have to use string comparison in combination with command substitution. date --help should give you some ideas for that. Hope this helps. Sven

3c509 initialization problem
Greetings! I am trying to install the release 2.1 cd I just got from linux central. When dbootstrap (I think) was asking about adding modules to the kernel I was adding 3c509 to support my two network cards. The parameters I specified were: io=0x300,0x340 irq=0x10,0x11 Which match the NIC settings. I received the following error message: /lib/modules/2.0.36/net/3c509.0: symbol for parameter io not found Ummm. Ok. So how should I specify the settings for the 3c509 module? One card is for the DSL modem and the other is for my local network. Thanks! Brendan
