Re: Support for Debian GNU/Linux
In the 1998 Linux Journal Buyer's guide, there is a matrix comparing the various distributions. Under Debian, it says that optional paid commercial support is available, but gives no details.

fetchmail doesn't work for me either
I upgraded fetchmail, smail, and some other packages at once, and immediately begin having trouble with fetchmail. The problem is exactly as discussed by A. D. Y. Chang. I'm at a loss, with all the discussion of smail on this list. Fetchpop works ok, and with fetchpop -ar, I get a running list of the messages being scarfed off the server, which is nice.

SGML2LATEX(1) SGML2LATEX(1)
NAME
sgml2latex - create plain text output from a SGML source
file
SYNOPSIS
sgml2latex [-2e] [-aCdglps] [-style s ] [-t n ]
]
file[.sgml]
DESCRIPTION
sgml2latex converts a SGML source file to LaTeX output,
using the sgmls(1) parser, and the sgmlsasp(1) translator.
Using the LaTeX output, and the latex(1) text formatter,
you can then create DVI output, and PostScript output
using the dvips(1) converter. Output will appear in
file.tex for LaTeX output, file.dvi for DVI output, or
file.ps for PostScript output, where file is the name of
the SGML source file.
OPTIONS
-2eUses LaTeX2e instead of LaTeX 2.09
-a Uses DIN A4 page layout, default US letter
-C Single chapter
-d Creates DVI output instead of LaTeX
-l Allows use of latin1 (ISO-8859-1) characters in the
SGML source file, default ASCII only
-g Uses german.sty
-p Creates PostScript output instead of LaTeX
-s Saves all LaTeX temporary files

Re: Installing with LS-120 drive
I have persuaded a co-worker to install Debian on his machine. However, he has a LS-120 drive (essentially a 120MB capacity floppy) and no normal floppy drive. I wrote a resc1440.bin (from hamm/main/disks-i386/current) for him since rawrite2 will not work (apparently) with these disk drives. The problem is when it comes to install the kernel and modules on the HDD, the system cannot mount the floppy drive. I am trying to install Debian on /dev/hdb (an IDE drive), and /dev/hda has a NT installation. Any ideas how to overcome this? Perhaps by copying resc1440.bin from this LS drive to the HD, toghether with loadlin; And running loadlin to boot into Linux ? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Kernel Customization.
I tried to customize the installation kernel, but I was not completely succesful. 1) Debian FAQ says that dpkg will * install the custom kernel in /boot/vmlinuz_VVV-Custom.N, and set up appropriate symbolic links to the most recent kernel version. my /boot directory only contains vmlinuz_VVV. 2) /usr/doc/kernel-source-2.0.29/debian.README.gz says that A note on LILO: the kernel-image install-scripts arrange to have /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old point to the latest kernel image and the next most recent one, respectively. You may choose to have LILO take advantage of this by putting image = /vmlinuz and image = /vmlinuz.old lines in your lilo.conf (please read documentation on LILO for details). I don't have /vmlinuz.old. Only /vmlinuz. 3) I don't understand how to deal with modules. I thought that it is sufficient to tell xconfig that I want something as a module. Is it true ? When should I run modconf ? 4) During the init phase, I have some new messages that are scrolling too fast.How can I read them ?

Kernel compilation
I'm back again, I have recompiled my kernel, but now it wont boot from the new bootdisk that 'make zdisk' created. I followed the HOWTO to the letter, and here I am stuck. It will still boot off of my old boot disk, but not properly, it says there are no modules for that kernel. As I had kernel 2.0.29 and now have 2.0.33, this is not a large suprise. It will start to boot off of the new boot disk, but comes to a crashing halt and the last thing displayed onscreen is VFS: mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly. then it stops, never to restart. I have asked people in irc, but the best advice i got was to reformat my disk and try again, which did not work. I have used 2 disks, both of which have been formatted and scandisk has been run on, both disks have no bad sectors. Do i need to use the rawwrite program on the disks in order for them to be usable?? I am completely at a loss and standstill until i can get this problem solved, so any advice, other than what I received through irc, would be appreciated.

Re: trouble with the boot-block..
All this makes sense, of course. What I don't understand is how something got written to the MBR and why my floppy drive is ignored now. To clear my SCSI drives 1 and 3, I'll have to do a low-level format. From an earlier message, I gathered that you DID tell the installation program to install lilo at least during one installation attempt. If you did that then lilo installed the lilo boot loader code in the MBR. When lilo does this, it creates some files in /boot/ directory including a copy of the original boot block. Lilo csn then later be told to 'remove itself' and replace the original boot code. However, in your case, you re-attempted initial installation which 'wipes out' the files saved by lilo. Thus, there is no longer any way for lilo to restore the original boot code since it really does not exist. So even if the installation code authors examined the drive to look for a previous installation of lilo, there is no way that they could 'uninstall' it anyway. In addition, many people have multiple installation of Linux on the same machine (I usually have two or three myself). It would be a _real_ disaster for me if lilo removed the lilo boot code when I did a second or third linux installation. I am at a complete loss as to what linux could possibly have done to make your floppy be ignored. As far as I know, recognizing and booting from your floppy is an activity that takes place long before ANY linux code is loaded and executed (you do have the CMOS set for A: then C: and not the otherway around, yes?) Actual low-level formatting of scsi drives is a pretty unusual activity. Drives vary between just plain ignoring the command, immediately returning an operation complete response, running a bad block scan, to actually DOING a low level format. Many scsi drives actually can not be low level formated without special (manufacture specific) software. As I think I mentioned to Jean Pierre, my knowledge of DOS could be stuffed into a thimble. At any rate, DOS is gone, and /dev/fd0 is useless. (I just knew there was something I liked about you!) Last night I catenated /target/etc/lilo.conf to stdout and saw something like what you've got below. But it didn't do much good because I'm not familiar with the file. Also, didn't find anything in the boot that came with v1.3. Can you tell me what to edit to what to get rid of lilo from the master boot rec? Short of the DOS FDISK/mbr I don't know of anything (simple) that you can do to get rid of lilo at this point. You can edit /etc/lilo.conf so that it looks something like this: boot = /dev/sda prompt timeout = 50 compact delay = 20 install = /boot/boot.b map = /boot/map vga = normal image = /vmlinuz root = /dev/sda3 label = Linux read-only other=/dev/sda1 table = /dev/sda label = DOS Substitute your drive designation for 'boot = /dev/sda' (but I think that is correct for your system. Substitute your drive/partition designation for 'root = /dev/sda3' of your (attempted) linux installation. Substitute your drive/partition disignation for 'other=dev/sda1' for the location of your DOS partition (if you have one). I think but am not positive that the 'table = /dev/sda' has to point to the drive that contains the linux root filesystem (regardless of where the dos partition is located). After editing that file (/etc/lilo.conf) then run lilo itself: lilo -t -r /target The '-t' tells lilo to just tell you what it wants to do but not to change anything. A '-v' tells lilo to be somewhat verbose. The '-r /target' tells lilo to the directory '/target' as the 'root' for its' operations (otherwise lilo would want to modify the ram filesystem which would be a bit useless). This should give you an output like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/wrl# lilo -q -t Linux * DOS If you use the '-v' option then it might look something like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/wrl# lilo -v -q LILO version 20, Copyright 1992-1997 Werner Almesberger Reading boot sector from /dev/hda Global settings: Delay before booting: 2.0 seconds Command-line timeout: 5.0 seconds Always enter boot prompt Serial line access is disabled No message for boot prompt No default boot command line Images: Linux * No password Boot command-line won't be locked No single-key activation VGA mode: 9 (0x0009) Kernel is loaded high, at 0x0010 No initial RAM disk No fallback Options: ro root=304 DOS No password Boot command-line won't be locked No single-key activation No fallback (Your lilo version is probably different than mine so the message may well not be an exact match.

Your best bet is to send the XIRCOM card back to the manufacturer, with a polite notice that, due to the non-discolsure-agrement they force everyone who obtains technical information on their ethernet cards to sign, there is no Linux driver available for XIRCOM cards, and you are thus unable to use it. Or, in other words: XIRCOM forces people to sign NDA's. Thus a driver will never be released in source code form, as that whould be disclosing the information. As linux is GPL, any part of linux essentially also must have source code available. This is why you cannot use XIRCOM cards. I believe there are binary-only modules available, but I advice you not to use those -- you will probably not be able to use them with newer versions of the linux kernel, and nobody can fix bugs in them. So, really the best thing to do is to replace the XIRCOM card. -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The upstream maintainer is allowed to do things different than Debian, but only if he has good reasons to do so. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Hamm Installation Disks
Hi Debian folks, Upon seeing that a set of installation files appeared under hamm I got curious. Using the single file version of the base disks and the 14400 versions of the other disks I started an install from DOS. Some observations: 1. I was unable to get the installation program to see any files on my DOS partition or linux partitions using the method where the install program does the mount. 2. I was able to mount a linux partition and give the full path name of the directory, though I had to do so twice. 3. The time between steps seems much longer that previous version and there is little sign of activity. However, I did wait it out and it did work. 4. The installtion did say I could choose not to immediately install a regular user (this was in some bug list). 5. I hit choose access method to see if it looked any different. Then, not having ppp set up yet, tried to quit with ^C. This did not work. (A kill -9 from another VT worked.) 6. Other than these minor (for me) points, I thought it went quite well!

SCSI changes Interrupts?
I just got my Adaptec 152x SCSI adapter to work However, two weird things happened in the process that I wonder if anyone could shed some light on Firstly, before I got it to work, cat /proc/interrupts reported my PS2 mouse as being on IRQ 8, SoundScape as being on IRQ 10, and had no listing for sound. After I got it to work by setting the jumpers on the SCSI adapter to IRQ 9, and giving the kernel the appropriate parameters at boot time, cat /proc/interrupts reports the PS2 mouse on IRQ 12, sound on IRQ 5, and does not list SoundScape any more. (The SoundScape support in the kernel is configured to use IRQ 10 for MIDI, and IRQ 5 for Audio... (DSP?)). Any ideas on the discrepancy? Also, before it started working, I tried setting the IRQ jumpers on 11. (Not listed as in use by /proc/interrupts at the time), however, at boot time, it failed to initalize that IRQ, and suggested that it might be wrong.. So, after that I tried IRQ 9, (also not listed as in use), which worked. Any ideas on why it wouldn't work on an interrupt not listed as in use? I suspect my /proc/interrupts is abit crazy, because even now that it doesn't show the SoundScape on IRQ 10 any more, it still initalizes fine on that IRQ at boot time, and I can still play mp3s fine. :). Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the matter, Timothy. PS: I use aha152x=0x140,11,7,1 at boot time now. Can anyone fill me in on what the '7' and '1' are about? The SCSI howto used them, but I couldn't find anything on their significance. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Help installing NT and Linux
I just got a new drive and I want to put a few more Operating Systems on it. Even thought NT is a pain to use I would like to have it around just to run a few apps. But I am having some problems getting it to install. Here is the situation: I have two 4.3 gig UltraATA Quantum Fireballs. The primary master has only Linux partitions on it (containing Debian 2.0) I would like to install NT on the first partition of the Primary slave drive. Here is where the problems come in. With that setup NT would not install. It complained because there was no NT compatible partition on the primary master. I am assuming it wanted to install thinks like the boot.ini and ntldr on the first partition of the primary master. Since that partition is Linux, NT can't touch it. So what I did was make the drive which NT needs to go on, the primary master. I installed NT and it works fine, if that drive is the master. I need the Linux drive to be the master because I don't want to reinstall Linux or let NT win this battle :) Is there a way for me to boot NT using lilo? Will my little drive swap trick work with some more playing? I have tired booting NT with Lilo and it doesn't want to work. Here is the NT part of my lilo.conf: other=/dev/hdb1 label=winnt table=/dev/hdb Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also please reply directly to me, as it can be easy to miss replies in all the list traffic. --Travis It's backup day today so I'm pissed off. Being the BOFH, however, does have it's advantages.

X11 and Matrox Mystique 220
Hello All, I just got a new video card, the Matrox Mystique 220. I have been following this list for a while, and have observed that the Mystique is supported now. However, after configuring for my card, and trying startx, my screen goes black, and the computer locks up - I can't ctl-alt F2 to another virtual terminal, and I can't ctl-alt-bksp to exit X11. Reading the README.mga in the docs, it looks like I may have been mistaken about my card. My card uses the MGA-1164SG graphics chip, with internal RAMDAC. The docs say the svga server supports the MGA-1064SG chip. I'm using xserver-svga 3.3-3 under hamm. Is my card supported and I just need to recheck my configuration file? Or do I need a different server? Or am I just out of luck? I can run under xserver-vga16, but this is very unsatisfying. Please help.

You can install Lilo on the root partition (with just one option- linux) and follow the instructions in NT+Linux HOWTO how to make NT boot loader to boot linux.

This also contains everything in the package kernel-headers-2.0.33, and thus if you install kernel-source-2.0.33 you do not also need to install kernel-headers-2.0.33. You may configure the kernel to your setup by typing make config and following instructions, but you could get ncursesX.X-dev and tk4X-dev and try make menuconfig for a jazzier, and easier to use interface.

Hi, The problem is that someone has installed a /vmlinuz. Being just a program, the debian kernel image package postinst assumes that the sysadmin knows better, and does nothing. If you want the new kernel, # cd / # mv vmlinuz vmlinuz.save # ln -s boot/vmlinuz-2.0.32 vmlinuz and Re run lilo or whatever you use to boot the machine. (remove vmlinuz.save when you feel satisfied). From this time on, the upgrades should work better. manoj -- On a clear disk you can seek forever.
