En: http://www.es.debian.org/2.0/autoup/ hay más información al respecto. Solo para tranquilizarte un poco, el 'postinst' de libc6 hace dos cosas muy simples: una es reejecutar el init y la otra actualizar el 'cache' de bibliotecas.

Re: Consultas sobre wmaker.
Hola,
- Parece que tal como viene configurado por defecto, no permite cambiar el
tamaño de las ventanas. Cómo puedo cambiar este comportamiento?
Te aseguro que eso no es una opción de configuración... ¿a qué te
refieres? Recuerda que wmaker *solo* utiliza la barra inferior para
cambiar el tamaño de las ventanas... otra forma es presionando Alt
('Meta' en realidad) y el botón *derecho* del mouse y lo mueves...
aunque no estoy seguro de a cual versión corresponde esta opción.
- Al poner el wmload como 'Autolaunch', lo que hace es arrancarme el que
está en el dock y otro que aparece por ahí como ventana normal,
estorbando. Esto es así o hay algo que no he hecho?
arranca wmload como '/usr/bin/X11/wmload -shape -withdrawn'
- Ya van dos veces que al salir del wmaker ('Exit') me encuentro el
mapa de caracteres de la consola cambiado (símbolos extraños).
**No** se arregla con 'reset'. Le pasa a alguien más?

b) Hay algún tipo de problema con el servidor X con la tarjeta Esto
se puede arreglar utilizando algunas opciones para el servidor,

RE: TO-TH : Conflictos SCSI.
Saludos, tocayo Agradezco mucho el tiempo que te has tomado para darme una solución al problema, pero me parece que oyes campanas y no sabes dónde, seguramente por mi tendencia a hacer literatura en lugar de dar información. Aclarar que dispositivos SCSI sólo tengo el disco duro, la zip es externa y está conectada al puerto paralelo, de ahí el mensaje 'scsi1 : Iomega parport ZIP drive' i.e., que es detectada sin problemas y asignada a scsi1 tanto por el programa de instalación como por LILO durante el arranque (el que se vuelve loco con la zip es WINDOWS; cunado la instalo de alguna forma el sistema la solapa con el disco duro SCSI y tarde o temprano tengo un glorioso cuelgue, por lo tengo sin ella instalada; pero esta es otra historia). Te recuerdo que el programa de instalación sí detecta correctamente el disco SCSI cuando se ejecuta en las condiciones mencionadas, pero falla miserablemente si intento la instalación, bien entrando en DOS por medio del menú de arranque de WINDOWS (lo que me tiene bastante perplejo), o bien por medio de una sesión DOS no-windows (en mi caso PC-DOS 7.0) iniciada desde un disco de arranque. En lo que tal vez vayas bien encaminado es en lo de que no tengo instalados en el kernel los drivers, pero de la propia tarjeta. Al menos eso es lo que piensa John C. Ellingboe (para más detalles lee los mensajes que dejó los días 3 y 5 del corriente con asunto 'Re: Amazing installation. SCSI Problems' en la lista [EMAIL PROTECTED] Si no estas muy puesto en inglés dímelo y te mando un resumen, en español). 'scsi1 : Iomega parport ZIP drive scsi host 2 (lo siento, se me había pasado por alto) (scsi0:0:0:-1:-1) scanning channel for devices scsi: aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, bus 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00' Esta es la secuencia correcta de mensajes antes del cuelgue. De todas las suposiciones que haces sólo das en el clavo en una: tengo el disco enchufado al conector interno de 68-pin; con todo lo demás te columpias (evidentemente por culpa mía). No entiendo muy bien eso de 'cerrar los canales'. Si te refieres a quitar de la configuración de la BIOS los ID de los dispositivos retirados (he vuelto a mirar el manual de la tarjeta de arriba a abajo y por ninguna parte aparece la palabra canal (channel), pero sí la palabra 'bus' asociada a los ID de los dispositivos), te aclaro que sólo tengo 2 ID's definidos en la BIOS, el del disco, ID #0, y el del host (la controladora), ID #7, que por otra parte son los recomendados por el manual del usuario. En cuanto a la longitud de los cables estoy usando el que venía con el kit; si tienes una sugerencia mejor te agradecería que me la hicieras llegar. Para no repetirme, héchale una ojeada a mi última respuesta a las sugerencias de Marcelo; ahí relaciono con más detalle los mensajes que LILO me da con respecto controladora y la configuración BIOS de la misma. De nuevo gracias y, por favor, no desistas: Esto sigue sin funcionar. Antonio A. Rivas

Problemas con el CDROM contrib de Debian-Hamm
Hola a todos: Tengo instalado la Hamm de Debian que venía con la revista LA. He tenido algún problema con el CDROM contrib, el tercero de la distribución. He intentado instalar el Navigator que viene en el subdirectorio debian/slink/non-free/binary-i386. Pero no me aparecen esos paquetes cuando arranco el dselect. Creo que he introducido bien el nombre del subdirectorio en las opciones donde me pide de donde voy a tomar los paquetes. pero como no me aparecen esos paquetes, supongo que algo habré hecho mal. Intenté instalar el Navigator de Netscape con una versión que se autoinstalaba y no lo pude conseguir porque estaba preparado para la versión de librerias libc5. Este paquete también iba a buscar otras librerías a unos dubdirectorios distintos a donde las guarda Debian (lo ví con el strace), pero esto lo solucioné creando enlaces simbólicos con ln -s. Pero al ver que también pedía las libc5 desistí y lo intenté con el cdrom de Debian y me ha ocurrido el problema que he comentado anteriormente. Me ha pasado algo parecido con el entorno kde, aunque estos paquetes si me aparecen en la lista de paquetes instalables, al intentar instalarlos se queja de que faltan algunas librerias del estilo qt En este caso pensé que se referían a los paquetes rpm que también vienen en este cdrom. Con el programa alien los pasé a formato Debian y los instalé, pero me sigue dando errores con las librerías. Quisiera saber si con estos datos me podeis comentar que error estoy cometiendo y si existe algún método sencillo para cargar el Navigator con las libc6. Respecto a las x-window, tengo cargados dos manejadores de ventanas, las fvwm95 y la window-maker. Particularmente, me gusta más esta última. Pero me gustaría saber si el color de fondo de las ventanas de xterminal pudiera ser diferente del blanco que sale por defecto y si se pueden crear ventanas de xterminal deslizantes que conserven 300 ó 400 líneas, etc. He estado echando un vistazo a un fichero de wm (creo que de configuración) pero no he relacionado ninguna opción de las que aquí aparece con los problemas que os comento. Saludos y gracias por adelantado.

There are no open source Fortran 90 compilers or translators avalible. g77 does support a few Fortran 90 extensions, but nothing that a reasonable Fortran 77 compiler wouldn't have anyway (eg, no array syntax or modules). A free for some uses Fortran 90 compiler can be found somewhere under http://www.psrv.com/ although I hear tell that the license is very restrictive about what you can do, and ISTR hearing it's quite buggy. I've got a feeling its implemented as a translator to F77. If you don't mind using a subset compiler, then F provides the nice bits of Fortran 90, and there is a no-cost version avalible for download. The URL is something like http://www.imagine1.com/ Other than that, there are several commercial offerings. I've not had any real problems with the Portland Group compilers but haven't tried anything else. I don't know how much luck you'll have finding a translator, either - those that exist tend to convert F77 to F90.

Re: netscape, slink, bus error
Problem solved-- thanks to the following hint: On Wed, 6 Jan 1999, Ed Cogburn wrote: XNLSPATH isn't the problem (It was only suggested as a possible problem). The locale problem (which I thought was solved a long time ago - did you recently upgrade to slink?) occurs because of a missing /usr/lib/X11/locale directory. Check this directory. If this isn't there (or its empty, or its a symlink) you can get this locale directory from the xlib6g (part of X11) package (3.3.2.3a-8.1). For some reason, even though xlib6g was installed, /usr/lib/X11/locale was an empty directory. Since I couldn't figure out how to do a forced install from an ftp site (i.e. what is the package arg for dpkg -i), I simply replicated the 'locale' tree from another host, and now netscape 4.5 (installed from the slink distro) works just fine. -- Rick Venable =\ |=|Eschew Obfuscation FDA/CBER Biophysics Lab |/ |=| Bethesda, MD U.S.A. | \/ |=| ( Not an official statement or [EMAIL PROTECTED] |\ / |=|position of the FDA; for that, http://www.erols.com/rvenable \/ |=|see http://www.fda.gov )
Re: exmh - presort inc sometimes fails

a presort inc sometimes fails from within exmh.

my own, looking for similarities/differences. I think I may have discovered
a common theme. It would seem that all the errant messages were sent using
the mailer Mutt.
My sample size it still too small to be conclusive on this point, but
it is a lead. What could lead to an incorporation failure however is
still beyond me.
What I need to do now is get more detailed debugging info from exmh.
At the moment all the log really tells me is:
exmh-bg {Inc_Presort +MyIncTmp: {child killed: segmentation violation}}
Does anyone know how to get more debugging info from exmh?
Thanks,

Re: [Fwd: Installing debian with Win98]
Hi Tim, I have Window$98 and Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 running on a IBM ThinkPad 385XD laptop without any trouble (sofar?). I've kept a detailed log of all the things I did and can mail it if your interested. You'll have to wait till tomorrow though, 'cause I don't have it here. Basically, I repartitioned the 4GB internal hard disk, did a recovery installation of Window$ on the C: drive and then put Linux on the rest. From what you say (having things already partitioned), you can skip most of that and just jump in at the Linux installation. I had the same problem as you mentioned: linux just won't boot. The reason is that LILO can not boot Linux if the root partition is not in the first 1024 cylinders of the boot disk. My first work-around was a DOS boot-floppy that auto-execs loadlin to boot Linux. Worked like a charm, but I found the floppy boot a little clumsy. Following the loadlin docs, I modified the Window$ boot to give me a choice (much like LILO would have done if it worked). So, I boot Linux through M$-DOS, but, hey, if it works, who cares? Now, if I could only get that silly Window$ logo at boot time replaced with something more Linux, like a penguin ... -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Olaf Meeuwissen Ph.D. student, Shinshu University, Japan [EMAIL PROTECTED]Information Management Systems Laboratory

[OFF TOPIC] xterm, rxvt, kvt and color arrgggh!
Let me preface by saying I'm a command line kinda guy so I haven't dealt with X much. Having said that, I'm responsible for keeping a bunch of naive X users happy, so I'm learning as fast as I can. After upgrading workstations from bo to hamm, funny things happen in xterms (and cousins) with respect to color mapping. Most noticeable in mutt and elm. I'm typing this message in vim under mutt in a kvt under kde. My signature is underlined. Either vim (right now) or mutt (when I look at a message) will detect the signature and render it in a pleasing (?) contrasting color. This is fine at a text console, but for whatever reason xterm (and cousins) map this color to an underline. Somewhat annoying. Editing an html file in vim under kvt is _really_ annoying. I've been RTFMing X-related man pages until it hurts and I don't seem to be making any progress. Any pointers would be much appreciated. xterm or rxvt under afterstep and kvt under kde are most often used. vim, elm, and mutt are the applications that seem to be most problematic.

majordomo and mailman are debian packages that do mailing lists well;
there may be others but I haven't used them. Majordomo is much
older and probably more solid, and is written in perl; mailman is
more modern, web-based, and written in python. I switched from
majordomo to mailman because i'm more comfortable with python
than perl, but that's just me; you could try them both and make
your own decision (and, as I said, there may be others as well).

Unfortunately it is a jumperless card, and I have no way of setting the IRQs and DMAs under linux (or even finding out what they are) so I can set it up to run under Linux. I went to the creative web site and downloaded the dos/win31 drivers, thinking this would solve my problem. Not so! It refuses to install the dos configuration programs under win98 dos... My linux box only has linux on it, so I can't just boot it to dos, and the install program doesn't like working under DOSEmu. So, at the moment, I seem to be a little stuck. I'm thinking maybe if I can get hold of the program to set up the board under DOS, I can boot linux with a dos boot disk, and set it up from there. The zip from creative contains it, but it's compressed, and only the install program can uninstall it. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Any suggestions are more than welcome. thanks, damon Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Web Page: www.sub.net.au/~tr It's not a sense of humor. It's ICQ UIN:2920281 a sense of irony disguised as one.

partition question
I have a linux partition that is running out of space. I have another partition on the drive that used to be NT, I toasted that partition and created another linux partition. I would like to put everthing under /usr on the other partition. I mounted it as /bkup. I tried to go under /usr and do a cp -rf * /bkup as root. I was then going to change the name of /usr to /usr.bak and change /bkup to /usr to test it. I ran into some errors. One in particular mentioned a circular symbolic link. I stopped at this point, because I don't want to make a huge mistake. So, does anyone know the correct method for doing this? Thanks, Wes
Remote boot question
We are setting up a network with Linux and need some help. We are attempting to remote (network) boot the Win95 systems that we already have as clients for our Linux server. The problem is this: We have been looking into using ROM chips plugged into the network cards on the clients, but commercial solutions are too expensive. We could burn the ROMs ourselves, but we have no program to burn in. We were wondering if anyone could help us find a less expensive / difficult solution. The idea has come that it might be possible to use a mini-dist. of Linux as a OS to boot the system. It then might be possible to put into the startup script a set of commands which would start up the network card, use DHCP or BOOTP to get IP information (or we could assign static IPs if necessary), then have the Win 95 image be downloaded into memory (and swap space) where it could replace the running Linux kernel and boot as if it were the only operating system there. Please keep in mind that we are an educational institution (SNVTC, a school in Las Vegas, NV) and that any money we spend will be out of pocket as the school system wants NT/NetWare and will not spend ANY money on our cause. This system, once operational, will be used to show the abilities and cost-effectiveness of Linux solutions. Should this network succeed, the entire school system could easily be convinced to switch to Linux. How's that for a community victory?

Confirm by checking for the existence of */locale/C/XLC_LOCALE (this, IIRC, is what NS is looking for). Thanks. I have been suspecting that the locale problem was a false trail, unrelated to the bus error. I think some of my problems may be due to the local archive I used for my initial installation, which was loosely based on early slink (unstable). I'm considering wiping my boot partition and starting over. That may be the only way. Debian has come a long way, but the ideal of never needing to reinstall isn't quite there yet. I decided awhile back to install fresh hamm to start over because of other problems. Since then though, the 'automatic update' accomplished by ftp upgrade using dselect/apt has worked well enough that I doubt I'll need to install fresh with either slink or potato. -- Ed C.
VideoBlaster IE500
Hi there, I was wondering - just being new to Linux - if anyone out there knows about any drivers written for controling the VideoBlaster IE500 grabber card. I have been working on Win 95 for some time now, and have just moved over (temporarily running on both systems, until i can get all the software equivalented over to Linux). All i need to just have one boot system is this video driver. Can anyone point me in the right direction. There is a videoblaster driver out there, but i am loathe to try it as it specifically states it is not for the IE500 (along with a disclaimer about possible damage not being the fault of the programmer etc - and as i don't have inexhaustible wealth (mores the pity) i'd rather not have to replace ;-) Thanks JOE Moffett

No. Me refiero a todos. Incluso el disco duro. (Estás tratando de verificar que los terminadores están bien) Esta sugerencia me la he saltado y voy a usarla como el último recurso fruto de la desesperación, entre otras cosas, porque tengo la sesnsación de que el problema no son los terminadores como se deduce de los mensajes que emite LILO durante el arranque y que relaciono más abajo (si vieras las tripas de mi 'ordeñador' lo comprenderías). LILO: linux aic7xxx_override_term=0x00 aic7xxx_stpwlev=0x1 LILO: linux aic7xxx_override_term=0x00 aic7xxx_stpwlev=0x0 Si no sirve, tratemos esto: * ACTIVA la terminación en el BIOS (low ON/high ON), eso es 0011, 0x03, * usa stpwlev=0x1 y stpwlev=0x0 Hecho. Fracaso total. Reactivé en la BIOS de la tarjeta la opción 'Automatic' de los terminadores y apliqué los parámetros sugeridos al arranqcar desde el disquette. También fracasó. La única direfencia es que no aparecen los mensajes encabezados con 'aic7xxx:'. Así que rearranqué sin parámetros en la línea de comandos y estos son los mensajes que LILO me da (recuerda que tengo la opción Automatic activada): aic7xxx: -Warning- detected Auto-termination on controller: aic7xxx. Adaptec on PCI 12/0 (siguen 4 ó 5 líneas con avisos e información varia que considero irrelevantes todos encabezados con 'aic7xxx:') aic7xxx: Cables present Int-50 NO, Int-68 YES, Ext-68 NO aic7xxx: Termination (Low ON, High ON) (encabezadas con '(scsi0)' siguen varias líneas con información sobre la tarjeta controladora que me parecieron correctas y sin discrepancias con respecto a la configuración BIOS de la misma) Son los 2 últimos mensajes de LILO sobre los cables y la terminación (como te dije, el disco duro es interno y está conectado al puerto de 68 pins) los que me hacen pensar que el problema no es de terminaciones. Te recuerdo que si instalo el sistema desde una partición DOS en el disco SCSI, y sólo si lo hago en sesión MS-DOS de WINDOWS, no hay problemas; el follón viene después, cuando intento arracar bien desde el disquette, bien desde el mismo disco duro (utilizo un gestor de arranque para poder acceder indistintamente a Debian o Windows). que hacer. Ah, la otra cosa, ¿hay alguna opción (o dice algo el manual) respecto a LVD? He mirado el manual del usuario de arriba a abajo y en ninguna parte he visto algo que se parezca remotamente a una opción LVD. Ya que no tienes acceso a una AHA2940UW aquí tienes la tabla de las opciones que tengo activadas en la BIOS de la mía (cuando la opción tenga valores diferentes a Yes-No o Enabled-Disabled entre peréntesis añadiré los otros valores posibles): *SCSI Bus Interface Definitions: Host Adapter SCSI-ID7 (0-15) SCSI Parity CheckingEnabled Host Adapter SCSI Termination Automatic (ver tabla más abajo) *Boot Device Options: Boot Target ID0 (0-15) Boot LUN Number 0 (0-7) *SCSI Device Configuration: Initiate Sync NegotiationYes Maximum Sync Transfer Rate40.0 MBs (32.0, 26.6, 20.0, 16.0, 13.4, 10.0) Enable Disconnection No Initiate Wide NegotitationYes Send Start Unit Command Yes BIOS Multiple LUN SupportYes Include in BIOS ScanYes *Advance Configuration Options: Plug-and-Play SCAM Support Enabled Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization Enabled Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives 1 GB Enabled Host Adapter BIOS Enabled Support Removable Disk Under BIOS as Fixed Disks Disabled (Boot Only, All Disks) Display CtrlA Messages durin BIOS Initialization Enabled BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROMs Disabled BIOS support for Int 13 Extensions Enabled A continuación te traduzco lo que pone el manual sobre la opción 'Host Adapter SCSI Termination' y adjunto la tabla de referencia para su correcta configuración: * Host Adapter SCSI Termination- Fija la opción de terminador de la tarjeta SCSI.

RE: TO-TH : Conflictos SCSI.
Saludos, tocayo Agradezco mucho el tiempo que te has tomado para darme una solución al problema, pero me parece que oyes campanas y no sabes dónde, seguramente por mi tendencia a hacer literatura en lugar de dar información. Aclarar que dispositivos SCSI sólo tengo el disco duro, la zip es externa y está conectada al puerto paralelo, de ahí el mensaje 'scsi1 : Iomega parport ZIP drive' i.e., que es detectada sin problemas y asignada a scsi1 tanto por el programa de instalación como por LILO durante el arranque (el que se vuelve loco con la zip es WINDOWS; cunado la instalo de alguna forma el sistema la solapa con el disco duro SCSI y tarde o temprano tengo un glorioso cuelgue, por lo tengo sin ella instalada; pero esta es otra historia). Te recuerdo que el programa de instalación sí detecta correctamente el disco SCSI cuando se ejecuta en las condiciones mencionadas, pero falla miserablemente si intento la instalación, bien entrando en DOS por medio del menú de arranque de WINDOWS (lo que me tiene bastante perplejo), o bien por medio de una sesión DOS no-windows (en mi caso PC-DOS 7.0) iniciada desde un disco de arranque. En lo que tal vez vayas bien encaminado es en lo de que no tengo instalados en el kernel los drivers, pero de la propia tarjeta. Al menos eso es lo que piensa John C. Ellingboe (para más detalles lee los mensajes que dejó los días 3 y 5 del corriente con asunto 'Re: Amazing installation. SCSI Problems' en la lista [EMAIL PROTECTED] Si no estas muy puesto en inglés dímelo y te mando un resumen, en español). 'scsi1 : Iomega parport ZIP drive scsi host 2 (lo siento, se me había pasado por alto) (scsi0:0:0:-1:-1) scanning channel for devices scsi: aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, bus 0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00' Esta es la secuencia correcta de mensajes antes del cuelgue. De todas las suposiciones que haces sólo das en el clavo en una: tengo el disco enchufado al conector interno de 68-pin; con todo lo demás te columpias (evidentemente por culpa mía). No entiendo muy bien eso de 'cerrar los canales'. Si te refieres a quitar de la configuración de la BIOS los ID de los dispositivos retirados (he vuelto a mirar el manual de la tarjeta de arriba a abajo y por ninguna parte aparece la palabra canal (channel), pero sí la palabra 'bus' asociada a los ID de los dispositivos), te aclaro que sólo tengo 2 ID's definidos en la BIOS, el del disco, ID #0, y el del host (la controladora), ID #7, que por otra parte son los recomendados por el manual del usuario. En cuanto a la longitud de los cables estoy usando el que venía con el kit; si tienes una sugerencia mejor te agradecería que me la hicieras llegar. Para no repetirme, héchale una ojeada a mi última respuesta a las sugerencias de Marcelo; ahí relaciono con más detalle los mensajes que LILO me da con respecto controladora y la configuración BIOS de la misma. De nuevo gracias y, por favor, no desistas: Esto sigue sin funcionar. Antonio A. Rivas
Re: Cost of Debian software
At present i am using an intel pentium 233MHZ computer with 4.3 GB hardisk I would like to acquire your debian software to help me perform mainly excel and word function . is there any authorised dealer in Malaysia? how much it cost Thank you. Debian is a distribution of Linux. Linux is an operating system. What Debian gives you is Linux together with a huge range of other bits of software. Linux is basically a version of Unix. It is different from Microsoft Windows. Indeed it works much better than Microsoft Windows and it is free! The only think you need to pay is a small charge for a CD with Debian on it. I would recommend that you install Debian Linux on your computer. To find out where you can buy a CD, read this web page: http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors You should be able to buy it fairly cheaply - probably at about US$5 for a CD. If you want to do spreadsheet and wordprocessing things, perhaps the best thing would be to install Staroffice on your computer (after you have installed Debian). This is compatible with excel and word -- and it is free for non-commercial use. I would definitely recommend Debian, but I should warn you: Linux is harder to learn than Microsoft Windows. If you decide to use Debian, it will take you a while to get used to things, and you will have to do lots of learning. But I think it is worth it in the end. You will learn lots about computers, and have an operating system which is much better than MS Windows, and it will be MUCH MUCH cheaper!

Re Cost of Debian
tcc wrote At present i am using an intel pentium 233MHZ computer with 4.3 GB hardisk I would like to acquire your debian software to help me perform mainly excel and word function . is there any authorised dealer in Malaysia? how much it cost Firstly: the cost of Debian is really mininal. I've seen costs between US$1.99 and GB£5 for the cd version. On the internet (getting via ftp) the cost only amounts to your connection fees. Of course, to get all the software offered on the cd its worth paying and havign the cd shipped out to you (You can pay by credit card at some of the retailers in the states and uk (that i know of) and almost certainly elsewhere. Have a look at www.debian.org for a list of resellers if you look. Secondly: you won;t be able to run word or excel on Debian. Neither of these (or indeed any Microsoft programs that i know of) are ported for linux. If you're looking for spreadsheet function and word processing function in linux you could try Axene (www.axene.com) who have a range of inexpensive office software (dtp, word processing, spreadsheet and browser) or corel who have a very inexpensive copy of their WordPerfect 8 available either for download or again cd. As to costs for the software: last time i looked the WP8 was about US$50 - for the cd version although there is also a 90 day free trial available. The Axene office set (all 4 progs together) costs the same, although you can buy the individual packages for US$25 each (excepting the browser which is free). Hope this helps a bit JOE

I've kept a detailed log of all the things I did and can mail it if your interested. You'll have to wait till tomorrow though, 'cause I don't have it here. Basically, I repartitioned the 4GB internal hard disk, did a recovery installation of Window$ on the C: drive and then put Linux on the rest. From what you say (having things already partitioned), you can skip most of that and just jump in at the Linux installation. I had the same problem as you mentioned: linux just won't boot. The reason is that LILO can not boot Linux if the root partition is not in the first 1024 cylinders of the boot disk. My first work-around was a DOS boot-floppy that auto-execs loadlin to boot Linux. Worked like a charm, but I found the floppy boot a little clumsy. Following the loadlin docs, I modified the Window$ boot to give me a choice (much like LILO would have done if it worked). So, I boot Linux through M$-DOS, but, hey, if it works, who cares? Now, if I could only get that silly Window$ logo at boot time replaced with something more Linux, like a penguin ... Just in case you don't know: You can disable that Windows boot logo with an entry in msdos.sys (a text file now) of Logo=0 in the Options section. Works for W95. Replacing it with a penguin is an entirely different matter, though. :-) -- Ed C.

Hello all. I installed Wordperfect 8 into /usr/local/wp8 and there's

system? I saw a message about placing DISPLAY=:0.0 into my profile or
one of the bash files to eliminate some problems, but I don't know if
that will help.
Hmmm, I believe I installed wp8 to /usr/local/ too. The xwp binary is
found on
my system at /usr/local/lib/xwp/wpbin/xwp. Lord knows why they made it so
complicated.
I also read what John said about security. I don't think this is
necessary. I
installed wp8 as root, but use a normal user to actually use it. No special
tricks were necessary. As for calling the binary, I added this to my bash
startup:
xwp () {
pushd /usr/local/lib/xwp/wpbin
./xwp
popd
}
export xwp

Playing a bit more I found that ldd `which gs` as root gives differrent output when invoked as normal user.

Re: partition question
The first thing is to ensure you copy all the files AND links. This can be done using the -a command in cp. You don't have to change the name of your partitions (in fact, it does nothing). If you have 2 partitions mounted on /usr and /bkup /dev/hda1/usr /dev/hda2/bkup You just have to umount this partitions and remount /dev/hda2 with /usr. This can be done using the mount/umount commands or by editing the /etc/fstab file. If things don't work anymore after the changes, you can go back to the first configuration. Franck I have a linux partition that is running out of space. I have another partition on the drive that used to be NT, I toasted that partition and created another linux partition. I would like to put everthing under /usr on the other partition. I mounted it as /bkup. I tried to go under /usr and do a cp -rf * /bkup as root. I was then going to change the name of /usr to /usr.bak and change /bkup to /usr to test it. I ran into some errors. One in particular mentioned a circular symbolic link. I stopped at this point, because I don't want to make a huge mistake. So, does anyone know the correct method for doing this?

If Debian can use the printer port MO, then when I do large file I/O, will the system loading be too high to do other things? I have heard the under M$ systems, if we do large file I/O under the printer port MO, then the system will halt or become very slow. Is that will also occure under Linux?

Upgrade has hosed my system :-(
Well after my last post I decided to go ahead and try upgrading one of my Debian 1.3.1 systems.,,, and now I have a hosed box :-( I used apt-get (on the CD) to upgrade, after being told by many of you it was better than the .sh method. I first edited the /etc/apt/sources.list file, so that it pointed at my CDROM. Ie.. deb file:/cdrom/debian stable main I then ran apt-get update All appeared to be going well, no error messages etc. SO I continued to the next part suggested in the README, and ran apt-get -f dist-upgrade. Now this appeared to be updating/installing EVERYTHING from the Debian 2.0 CD, which is NOT what I wanted, but I let it continue. After a while it stopped strutting it's stuff... all appearing OK. So I then tried to run apt-get install timezones locales like the read suggests. But I get the Error... apt-get: can't load library 'libstdc++.so.27' And am unable to continue any futher ! How can I recover from this. If I use dselect to see whats installed, everything is shown as a 'broken' package :-( PLEASE HELP!

You need to install the dpkg-ftp package which provides dselect's FTP method. You might want to look into apt and dpkg-http too.

Re: PPP and mouse
Quoting Michelle Maria Coelho ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hi... Yesterday, I downloeaded the Debian Linux installation kit on floppies and installed it on my 486 at home. It was a breeze. However, there was one problem. At the time of installation, I hadn't plugged in the mouse (a Microsoft PS/2 serial mouse). I'm wondering if the plugging in of the mouse was crucial to the stage Configure device drivers. Will I have problems while installing XFree86 I don't think so. I think all that configuring the modules does is to (a) load the module then and there, and (b) write its name into /etc/modules. So if you want the module (serial or psaux depending on the mouse's type) to load during booting, put serial or psaux on a line of its own in that file. The only tricky thing with mice and X in hamm is that it forgets to create the gpmdata pipe if you want gpm to repeat (-R) mouse movements into X. cd /dev mknod gpmdata p as root will take care of that. Then modify the line in gpm.conf to append=-R -l \a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\ and put Section Pointer ProtocolMouseSystems Device /dev/gpmdata in /etc/X11/XF86Config and you're done.

Re: [Fwd: Installing debian with Win98]
There is a .bmp file named something like windowslogo.bmp in the windows directory that has the windows bootup display. It can be edited with the paint program. I modified the one on my kid's computer so It comes up with their names, Emily and Reva's computer. You could copy the file to linux, edit it with the gimp (actually replace everything with tux) and then export it back to windows. The file MUST be of an exact pixel size (640xsomething) so it will be correctly displayed. (Win95 usese the bottom of the bitmap to display the moving bar as it boots). --- From: Ed Cogburn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Olaf Meeuwissen wrote: Hi Tim, I have Window$98 and Debian GNU/Linux 2.0 running on a IBM ThinkPad 385XD laptop without any trouble (sofar?). I've kept a detailed log of all the things I did and can mail it if your interested. You'll have to wait till tomorrow though, 'cause I don't have it here. Basically, I repartitioned the 4GB internal hard disk, did a recovery installation of Window$ on the C: drive and then put Linux on the rest. From what you say (having things already partitioned), you can skip most of that and just jump in at the Linux installation. I had the same problem as you mentioned: linux just won't boot. The reason is that LILO can not boot Linux if the root partition is not in the first 1024 cylinders of the boot disk. My first work-around was a DOS boot-floppy that auto-execs loadlin to boot Linux. Worked like a charm, but I found the floppy boot a little clumsy. Following the loadlin docs, I modified the Window$ boot to give me a choice (much like LILO would have done if it worked). So, I boot Linux through M$-DOS, but, hey, if it works, who cares? Now, if I could only get that silly Window$ logo at boot time replaced with something more Linux, like a penguin ... Just in case you don't know: You can disable that Windows boot logo with an entry in msdos.sys (a text file now) of Logo=0 in the Options section. Works for W95. Replacing it with a penguin is an entirely different matter, though. :-) _ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
SoundBlaster Vibra 16 jumperless card under Linux
If this is an isa card, then use the isapnp package to set up the card. See the sound how_to. --- From: Damon Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi folks, This one has got me beat, and I'm hoping someone in debian-land might be able to help me out. I got a vibra 16 card (soundblaster) from a friend, but it didn't come with any driver disks or anything like that. Unfortunately it is a jumperless card, and I have no way of setting the IRQs and DMAs under linux (or even finding out what they are) so I can set it up to run under Linux. I went to the creative web site and downloaded the dos/win31 drivers, thinking this would solve my problem. Not so! It refuses to install the dos configuration programs under win98 dos... My linux box only has linux on it, so I can't just boot it to dos, and the install program doesn't like working under DOSEmu. So, at the moment, I seem to be a little stuck. I'm thinking maybe if I can get hold of the program to set up the board under DOS, I can boot linux with a dos boot disk, and set it up from there. The zip from creative contains it, but it's compressed, and only the install program can uninstall it. If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Any suggestions are more than welcome. thanks, damon _ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Thank you in advance I usually using apt-get to updating and upgrading my system. If You using hamm (debian 2.0) You must get the apt from there section admin ( if I remember correctly) before You can use apt-get, if You have slink(debian 2.1) get the apt from slink/admin than You can do: 1. apt-get -s update ; apt-get -s dist-upgrade to see what will apt do if You Upgrade Your system completly no matter no real work done, if You find it will work ok just delete the -s and try apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade packages upgrading/installation is similar: apt-get -s update package ; apt-get -s install package apt-get update package ; apt-get install package Note: You have eventually change the entries in: '/etc/apt/sources.list' to Your needs. If using apt to upgrade hamm to slink after the dist-upgrade run You must: install the packages: xterm and xmodmap and also the xfont-upgrades You need, this is not done automatically via apt-get, because the X-Package was splitting in several parts and apt can't know this nor can't get see this in Your package-list.
