The 4.0b2 was crashing every time when I tried to run Java applets. This time I could run all the applets from the /usr/doc/jdk/demo directory without crash. The speed had improved as well. I run the Debian/GNU Linux 1.2 (the current stable version) with the libc taken from the unstable distribution. As the result, instead of the /lib/libc.so.5.4.20 (from the stable) I have the /lib/libc.so.5.4.23 from the unstable. Looks like a great progress in stability. ... but I still prefer the Netscape 3.0 feellook. Zenon

Re: Debian1.2 on InfoMagic doesn't install properly
Sad new. It seems like Debian1.2 on the Dec 1996 InfoMagic CD ROM is kind of broken: the X stuffs just would not install properly !!! Not true !! See ftp.fortuna.org:/pub/linux/Debian for Debian1.2 and then X3.2 installation directly from InfoMagic CD#3 without (essential) problems.

Re: Bootup messages... how to capture?
Zenon Fortuna wrote: Depending on the system setup, the most of the boot-up messages are also collected into /var/log/messages. At least my Debian system works like that. this is unlikely to contain the kernel start up messages (as opposed to stuff that started after syslogd, and hence init). It's possible for init to be instructed to cat /proc/kmesg to /var/log/messages I suppose, but is it common? Dave. That's correct: i.e. only the messages after syslogd get captured into /var/log/messages. The /proc/kmsg messages are not appended. One can append the dmesg messages into (any) logfile, for example adding dmesg $YOUR_FILE in /etc/rc2.d/S10sysklogd file. But this is not common.

X on Debian1.2 - from InfoMagic
Jan 15 '97 This text summarizes my experiences with installation of the X Window System (XFree86) atop of fresh installed Debian 1.2 systems. All installations used the InfoMagic Linux Developer's Resource CD collection. The latest installation was done on the following system: The configuration: Gateway2000 P5/66 32 MB RAM Mercury/Neptune PCI motherboard Adaptec 1542 SCSI/ISA interface 1.6GB Micropolis 2217 drive Mitsumi 2x CD-ROM/ISA 1.44/1.2 floppy drives Number Nine GXE lvl 12 graphics card After installing the Debian 1.2 system (see ftp.fortuna.org/pub/linux/Debian/Debian1.2-InfoMagic.txt2) I had a fully functional Linux system with support of all devices, including the Mitsumi CD-ROM via the /dev/mcd device. To simplify mounting of the CD-ROM disks, I added to the /etc/fstab the following line: /dev/mcd /cdrom iso9660 noauto,defaults 2 2 so I could mount the DISK3 of the InfoMagic collection with # mount /cdrom. What I have learned from the previous *experiments* with the Debian system was, that one should avoid installation of any software in a different way than using the dpkg utility (i.e. using the prepared *.deb SW packages). So, I primarily attempted to select *.deb packages to get the required X Window System configuration. 1. I needed the VGA and S3 servers: # cd /cdrom/binary/x11 # dpkg --install xserver-vga16_3.2-1.deb ... make the VGA16 X the default ? n # dpkg --install xserver-s3_3.2-1.deb ... make the S3 X the default ? y 2. Loading additional packages: As above, I used the dpkg --install NNN for the following packages: # Comment: being in bash or tcsh one can double-click the ESC key to get # the long name completion, e.g. dpkg --install xex (ESC,ESC) xpm4.7_3.4g-6.deb xext_3.2-1.deb xfnt100_3.2-1.deb xfnt75_3.2-1.deb xfntbase_3.2-1.deb xfntbig_3.2-1.deb xfntpex_3.2-1.deb xfntscl_3.2-1.deb xfntscl_3.2-1.deb xmanpages_3.2-1.deb xlib6-dev_3.2-1.deb (to be able to use the xmkmf later) xbase_3.2-1a.deb I answered Y to get the /etc/X11/Xserver in a package maintainer version, accepted xdm started at boot (e.g. y again), did not start the xdm now. Now I made exit and login (as root) again, to update the PATH variable. 3. Use the SuperProbe to test the graphics card Now the PATH should include the /usr/bin/X11, so it is sufficient to type # SuperProbe My test revealed: Super-VGA S3 86C928PCI 3072 Kbytes BrookTree Bt486 24-bit True Color DAC w/cursor pixel-mux (with 6-bit wide lookup tables) 4. Build the XF86Config file One can create an initial /etc/X11/XF86Config file manually, after studying the man XF86Config pages. Another approach is to use the XF86Setup utility. Either-or, the major problem is to provide information related to the Monitor, in particular the HorizSync, VertRefresh and ModeLine entries. In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/Monitors one can find many typical monitor types. I have used the XF86Setup utility. It has rather simple GUI and one can select Mouse/Card/Monitor properties. If at the end of selections the XF86Setup hangs the display (as it happened for me) try to hit the ENTER a few times, and this may result with XF86Setup exit. I tried the XF86Setup a few times and finally got a quite reasonable /etc/X11/XF86Config file. It is still a good idea to edit this file manually, correcting at least the names like Primary Monitor and Primary Card (replacing them with something describing the real HW). 5. Try startx When startx utility is used to test the X Window System startup, it may produce an error like XF86_NONE failed. It is because the XF86Setup changes the X server contents. To correct it make a suitable symbolic link: # cd /usr/bin/X11 # mv X X.old # ln -s XF86_S3 X (use other server name if you don't have the S3 card) Try the startx again. If it causes the display hangup, the sequence CTRL_ALT_F12 ALT-F1 CTRL-C usually returns to the basic virtual console. One may want to clean the X with # ps -ax | grep X # kill nnn (where nnn is the process number for the X process) 6. Load favourite window manager The above installation may end with X Window System using the twm manager. It is because of the action of the /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc script, which at the end starts the twm manager. If the /etc/X11/window-managers file exists, then the first manager on the list in this window-managers file is used. I opted for the fvwm95 manager, and to use it I loaded an additional package: # cd /cdrom/binary/x11 # dpkg --install fvwm95_2.0.42a-6.deb 7. Customization of the window manager The fvwm95 has its configuration script in /etc/X11/fvwm95/system.fvwm2rc95. I have modified a few lines of this file, in particular - all xterm_color names changed into xterm - Maximize 100 100 changed into Maximize 100 97 (to make the windows
Debian1.2 from InfoMagic - 2nd example
Jan 15 '97 A few days ago (around Jan 6th '97) I have installed the Debian 1.2 on a HP Vectra XU system, using the InfoMagic Linux Developer's Resource CD-ROM collection. See ftp.fortuna.org/pub/linux/Debian/InfoMagic-LDR.Dec96 My experience was, that the installation from the the above InfoMagic-Dec96 was quite *smooth*, and in a final result quite successful. Three days ago (Jan 12ve '97) I repeated the Debian 1.2 installation again, this time to an older (?) Gateway2000 system. The final result was, again, quite successful, but I experienced an intermittent problem, because at a certain point of the installation the dselect could not find my Mitsumi CD-ROM drive, and could not accept the inserted CD-ROM#3 as a source to continue the installation. I have resolved the problem using the MAKEDEV utility, which in turn caused another problem (I have solved it, too :) I am publishing my experiences, because I believe that my problems were quite common during (some ?) Debian 1.2 installations. Instead of just discussing-only-some-problems I decided again to write down the whole procedure of the Debian 1.2 installation, pointing out the applied correction procedures. = Installation of the Debian 1.2, 1/12/97 === My configuration: Gateway2000 P5/66 32 MB RAM Mercury/Neptune PCI motherboard Adaptec 1542 SCSI/ISA interface 1.6GB Micropolis 2217 drive Mitsumi 2x CD-ROM/ISA 1.44/1.2 floppy drives Number Nine GXE lvl 12 graphics card On that system was installed Linux/Slackware operating system, with A.OUT binaries, 1.2.8 Linux kernel and XFree86 3.1.1 (January '95) graphics. I decided to install the Debian 1.2 ovewriting the existing Slackware. So, I began with making the proper backups. In addition, I *reminded* myself about some system details, like the graphics card name/version, CD-ROM type, etc. I also needed to know the partitioning of the SCSI disk: this I learned running the fdisk from the still operational Linux/Slackware. The short description how to install the Debian 1.2 was present on the DISK3 of the InfoMagic-LDR set: it is an ASCII file (cdrom)/disks-i386/1996-12-8/install.txt In case of reading the CD-ROM under Windows, it will be (X:)\disks-i3\1996-12-\install.txt Step 1: Prepare 7 formatted 1.44 floppy disks and label them as Rescue, Device Drivers, Custom Boot, Base 1, Base 2, Base 3, Base 4. I mounted the above DISK3 under Linux, so instead of using the rawrite2.exe I used dd to copy data to those floppies, e.g. dd if=/cdrom/disks-i386/1996-12-8/resq1440.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 \ conv=sync Then copied the drv1440.bin, base14-1.bin,...,base14-4.bin (the Custom Boot was created later). Step 2: Boot from the Rescue floppy, watch the messages, and seeing boot: hit -ENTER-. One of the boot messages announced the MITSUMI CD-ROM as /dev/mcd (important). #Comment: # Seeing the /dev/mcd mentioned I was relaxed :) believing in yet-another # smooth installation. But later I had to use some tricks to make it working. I selected the color display from the Set Color or Monochrome dialog box. Step 3: Select Next (hit -ENTER-) to Continue with the installation. Then again select Next to Configure the Keyboard (I selected the us, for U.S English (QWERTY)) #Comment: # It is a spelling error QUERTY, instead of the QWERTY Step 4: At this point the installation agent had informed me, that there are Linux native and Linux swap partitions on my system. #Comment: # If the disk would not have Linux partitions, one should select Previous # to Partition a Hard Disk FWIW, my disk was partitioned (a few years ago) in the following way: sda1: 51- 200 Linux native sda2:1- 50 Linux swap sda3: 201- 300 Dos 16-bit sda4: 301-1612 Extended sda5: 301- 957 Linux native sda6: 958-1612 Linux native From the Debian installation point of view important was to know about the /dev/sda1 (for /) and /dev/sda2 (for swap). #Comment: # It happened, that the installation of the basic Debian 1.2 system # + Linux 2.0.27 kernel source + X Window 3.2 basics # required EXACTLY 150 MB (so I was lucky) Step 5: Next - to Initialize and Activate the Swap Disk Partition - ENTER then again Next - to Initialize a Linux Disk Partition - ENTER #Comment: # Selected the /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda1, respectively # Accepted to erase the data while initializing. I accepted (of course) the suggestion to mount the /dev/sda1 as the root partition by pressing ENTER. Step 6: Next - to Install the Base System, where I selected the /dev/fd0 as the floppy drive. The Please insert disk 1 and press ENTER ... worked OK, so was with the other 3 base floppies. I knew from the previous installation, that even in the case when one of the floppies would not work, one could create it anew (see COMMENT1 at the end) -- but this time I was lucky.
Re: how to upgrade from 1.1 ??
I have a pretty stable 1.1 installation, and I would like to upgrade to 1.2. What would be the BEST way to do this? I don't have a 1.2 CD (yet) and I have only a slow (28.8) net connection. Therefore, I'll probably be upgrading package by package... A few weeks ago I had also the Debian 1.1 installed on one of the systems. This system had an FTP connection via PPP (28.8kb), but I just instructed the dselect to upgrade everything over FTP from the ftp.bebian.org. It took the whole night to get the *.deb packages. Then, the next day I started the configure phase. There were many problems, most of them related to the lack of the /usr/X11R6/lib in the /etc/ld.so.conf (finally, I added this line manually and have run the ldconfig). The system was all the time operational and there were no any hangs. After many dpkg -C/dpkg --configure xxx I got it clean. In a summary: I believe you don't risk much attempting to install all packages. So which packages should I upgrade first? I need to keep this system running as much as possible! It will be running all the time. -Zenon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

InfoMagic-LDR.Dec96 - works great!
Reading the debian-user list for a while I am convinced, that statements like this CD ROM is OK, that CD ROM is bad are purely subjective. My experiences with the InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource, Dec 1996, are very positive. I am very grateful to InfoMagic for Great Collection of useful files and very well organized Linux distributions. Below, I list step-by-step my recent installation to prove, that having the InfoMagic LDR one can install a decent Debian 1.2 system without contacting more recent ftp resources. This text can be obtained from ftp:ftp.fortuna.org/pub/linux/Debian/InfoMagic-LDR.Dec96 = Installation of the Debian 1.2 === My configuration: HP Vectra XU 6/200 48 MB RAM Triton II motherboard on-board SCSI interface (CMD PCI-0646) two 2GB SCSI drives, HPC1533A DAT, HITACHI CDR-7930 IDE CD-ROM HP SureStore (HPC4325) CD-R with AdvanSys SCSI/ISA interface 1.44 floppy Matrox MGA PCI Millennium graphics card The system came with the Windows95 installed on /dev/sda1 (1028 cylinders) with remaining space /dev/sda2 defined as the DOS working space (1020 cylinders). I wanted to divide the /dev/sdb drive into 3 parts, with about 128 MB swap, about 1GB for the Ext2 Linux and remaining space left for the mkisofs to prepare data for the CD-R. I began from Windows95 with inserting the DISK3 of the InfoMagic-LDR into the HITACHI CD-ROM (it was device E:) and reading the documentation. The relevant install.txt file for the Debian 1.2 distribution was in disks-i3\1996-12- directory (truncated names of the disks-i386\1996-12-8). Step 1: Prepare 7 formatted 1.44 floppy disks and label them as Rescue, Device Drivers, Custom Boot, Base 1, Base 2, Base 3, Base 4. Use rawrite2.exe (from the same directory) to copy the files: resq1440.bin drv1440.bin, base14-1.bin, ..., base14-4.bin to the above floppies. The syntax rawrite2.exe resq1440.bin a: did not work, but rawrite2.exe (Enter disk image source ...) (Enter target diskette drive ...) i.e. interactive mode worked OK, so I created 6 floppies as instructed (the Custom Boot was created later). Step 2: Boot from the Rescue floppy, watch the messages, and seeing boot: hit -ENTER-. One of the boot messages announced the HITACHI CD-ROM as /dev/hdc (important). I selected the color display from the Set Color or Monochrome dialog box. Step 3: Select Next (hit -ENTER-) to Continue with the installation. Then again select Next to Configure the Keyboard (I selected the us, for U.S English (QWERTY)) Step 4: Select Previous to Partition a Hard Disk: then selected the /dev/sdb and have set the /dev/sdb1 as primary of type Linux Swap 129 MB, /dev/sdb2 as primary of type Linux (ext2) 1025 MB and /dev/sdb3 as primary (again) Linux Swap of remaining 894 MB. (I did not intend to use the /dev/sdb3 for swapping, but as a device for ISO9660 testing). Step 5: Select Initialize and Activate the Swap Disk Partition, then Initialize a Linux Disk Partition. Step 6: Select Install the Base System, where I selected the /dev/fd0 as the floppy drive. The Please insert disk 1 and press ENTER ... worked OK, but the Base 3 floppy had a media problem. But I could recreate the Base 3 system without starting from the beginning (see Comment1 and the end), then started the Install the Base System again and the installation continued. Step 7: Select Install the Operating System Kernel (the Rescue floppy needed) Step 8: Select Install the Device Drivers (the Device Drivers floppy needed) Here I used the Configure Device Drivers Modules to add some drivers. Step 9: Select Configure the base system: here I opted for US/Pacific and local (not GMT) clock. Step 10: Network configuration: I did not need it for the time, but anyway entered reasonable hostname/IP/DNS/Gateway values (for the future use). Step 11: Select Make a Boot Floppy: here the labelled Custom Boot floppy was used. Step 12: Rebooting the system: - I was asked to set the root password - then created the first non-root user Step 13: Here starts the dselect - which potentially makes a lot of problems (as reported by many Debian installers). But ... knowing some dselect weaknesses one can continue without major problems: 0) Access - I opted for access from the CD-ROM, from my /dev/hdc device - set none as the top directory, so the dselect asked for names of some other distribution directories. - at this time the CD-ROM (still the DISK3 of the InfoMagic-LDR) was automatically mounted at /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt so I could use the Alt-F2 to open another virtual terminal, and could ls /var/lib/dpkg/ethods/mnt to see the names of the requested directories. - coming back to the primary virtual terminal (Alt-F1) I answered with binary for main binary directory and contrib for the contrib files. The non-free does not exist on the CD-ROM

Now I read that installing 1.2 is a pain and on top of it I might need to get updates via ftp because the CD contains an unstable (?) version that requires updating. The thing is I *don't* have net access on the PC I wanna install Debian... Should I forget about Debian alltogether or will there ever exist a CD set containing a workable/stable/hassle-free version 1.2 ??? My opinion is, that you can install the Debian 1.2 directly from the InfoMagic-LDR.Dec96 without need to use the real-time ftp. See ftp:ftp.fortuna.org/pub/linux/Debian/InfoMagic-LDR.Dec96 as an example. However, to keep up with the progress, you will need to begin to upgrade your Debian system asap.
