Usar debian en un pentium dual
Hola a todos... Necesito instalar linux para algunos asuntos academicos aqui en mi universidad, y hasta ahora debian se ha portado muy bien. Me van a asignar una maquina con una tarjeta madre con dos procesadores pentium de 200 mhz. La pregunta es que procedimiento debo seguir, o que documentacion existe, para instalar de manera optima el Sistema Operacional para que aproveche al maximo los dos procesadores ? Me han dicho que hay que recompilar el kernel, pero no estoy muy seguro de como hacerlo. De antemano gracias a todos.

Re: Instalar .deb con dselect de fuera del CD de distribucion
Esto es lo que hago ahora, pero me parece que es perder la funcionalidad de dselect, que debe ser mas potente de lo que me ha parecido (hasta ahora solo lo he usado para los paquetes de la distribución). Todas esas opciones de acceso tienen que ser utiles (digo yo). A mi modesto entender, lo que me aprece interesante es el acceso ftp, que puedes trastear para acceder a tu propio disco duro, o bien al de otros :O) Aún así, me resulta más cómodo dpkg, aunque puede ser que por inexperiencia no le haya sacado jugo ni a uno ni a otro.

Actualizar a slink con apt
Hola chicos, aprovechando el gran ancho de banda del que dispongo en el trabajo, ayer intenté actualizar mi versión 2.0 de Debian a la nueva y flamante slink con la utilidad apt, con lo que lancé los siguientes comandos desde la consola como root: apt-get update apt-get -f dist-upgrade al cabo de un rato, despues de bajar todos los paquetes se empezaron a instalar y cuando finalizó todo descubrí para mi desgracia que no se actualizó correctamente. Os cuento lo que he descubierto: 1) Según la documentación, el paquete netstd se debe borrar e instalar nuevos paquetes. Pues el paquete seguía ahi pero ademas, no puedo hacer telnet a esa máquina por que no encuentra el demonio. 2) Se tenían que haber borrado los viejos paquetes de fuentes de X/Window xfnt... pero ahi siguen. Tampoco se han instalado las nuevas fuentes xfont 3) Mi WindowMaker no me lo ha actualizado bien ya que no me arranca al no encontrar el ejecutable. Creo que no ha borrado el antiguo correctamente. Estas cosas son las que he visto asi para empezar, pero me da la impresión de que tiene que haber mas cosas. ¿Alguien ha podido realizar este tipo de actualización con éxito?. ¿Existe algún método mas seguro para realizarla a traves de Internet?.

What is Debian's verdict on Qt's recent acceptance of QPL-1.0?
I just read this news: 8 March QPL-1.0 unanimously accepted by KDE Free Qt Foundation Troll Tech AS announced the release of the emotionally awaited QPL-1.0. Citing from the annoucement: Free software hat on - It looks on first reading very very good. I think I'm more than happy with this. was the first reaction from Alan Cox, well known Linux kernel hacker. KDE Free Qt Foundation, which has veto rights on any license changes, has unanimously accepted QPL-1.0 as the new license of the new Qt Free Edition. The current Qt 2.0 pre-release snapshot is covered by the QPL 1. I remember there were some question marks about just how free the QPL licence really was. And questions about whether Debian would accept it as a free license. Now that Qt is finally licenced under it, what is the verdict? Is it good enough?

However, when I try to run the script, I get the error ns-install: not found even though I can see it in the directory where I'm trying to run it. Also, I've tried the manual install instructions (copying files, running a couple of gzips, etc.) with no success. Can someone provide a couple of steps or point to a script that does work? Rob Pratt

It consist of a SmallTalk engine that uses C and Fortran routines to do it's actual work. While all the Fortran compiles with g77/egcs we have some issues with optimization greater than -O0. This code is legacy code originally written on VMS and earlier platforms. We have tried the Portland Group's compiler with only slightly more success. So finally the question: Does any one have a recommendation for a third party compiler for Fortran 77 that has been throughly rung out by the user community? Hi. Are you porting to x86 or Alpha? I've been so happy with eg77 (Debian's g77) on PPro and PII machines that I was able to avoid trying those other choices (Portland, Absoft, etc.). The optimization up to level 3 (-O3) has worked just fine on the Intel platform in my experience, and most f77 programs port without any changes. Of course, Digital's f77 with the -O4 switch produces faster code per MHz on our 600MHz alpha runing DUNIX.

Rather, what can I do to ensure that /usr can have more room to grow. 12% percent is not enough. I doubt /home will ever need 1gb. Thanks. Hmm... yes, this is the reason I ended up having to rearrange my partitions. I had configured a 500M /, 500M /usr, 500M /var, which left me with a 1.8G that I used for /pub. I also had a 500M dos partition on the same drive. Needless to say, I started running out of space on /usr. Well, I had some other problems, and a local mirror of hamm on /pub, so I reinstalled. During the process, I shrank the /var to 400M and increased /usr to 600M. It only helped temporarily. Even symlinking /usr/local to /var/local, and /usr/src to /pub/src, I soon ran short of space in /usr.

The exact figures are: icewm_0.9.33-1.diff.gz 6475 (actual) icewm_0.9.33-1.diff.gz 6480 (got with gzip --best ice...) How do I achieve a higher compression?

Replacing kernel header files
Hi, I understand Debian does not use links for directories such as /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux etc but they are in the libc6-dev package. Is there any easy way to upgrade these header files without recompiling all of glibc with the new header files? I mean, I could just rm -r /usr/include/linux and ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux but the next time libc6dev gets upgraded it steamrolls over my header files.

Email Question
Hi, I am just about to upgrade to Slink and I was wondering what MTA would be the best to use to allow me to do the following. 1. Send and receive local intranet mail from my servers. 2. Send Remote (internet mail) so my domain would change from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for internet mail only. 3. To queue internet mail until I go online. I have tried this with Exim and sendmail without success, but as i am going to upgrade to Slink would any other mta do the job? Any examples would be appreciated. Regards Graham

Help with PAP!
Helllo,
I am now connecting to a different server from my ISP for X2 V.90
dialup.
Previosly, to dial in all I had to do was change
/etc/chatscripts/provider with my username and password and the number
to phone (there was no PAP/CHAP authentication).
Now allegedly there is some sort of PAP authentification required, and
no script is run (so no expect: ogin stuff).
Under NT 4.0, the settings I use are don't run a script, dynamic DNS
server (but have their IP adresses) and accept any authentication
including clear text. This works.
I'm confused about what to do with Debian (ham) however - shoudl I not
be running my chatscript? If I just change the dialup number,name, etc
in /etc/chatscripts/provider when I dialin I get garbage after expect:
ogin
{}{#}}{*^###
type stuff.
How should I connect now there's PAP authentication and no script being
run at the providers end?

Re: what's the best html wordprocessor?
Paul Puri [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I've used netscape composer, amaya, emacs (which is more of an html code editor), I'm looking for wysiwyg (word processor type). Now I think soffice's StarWriter is the best around. It acts just like a word processor, it has footnotes, doublespace, etc. It also uses good html. I checked my docs in lynx and they were quite viewable, and the double spacing etc looked great. I'm interested in this because my goal is to write all documents in an open file type that can be easily indexed and searchable in htdig. That way I can have a permanent and growing personal (searchable) library (one that would also be searchable over the network). I know there are lots of great word processors, but .wpd, .doc, .dvi, etc. are not acceptable. I hear gnome will have an xml word processor, that is something to look forward to. I find the idea to use HTML as an exchangeable format for documents REALLY scary, because it doesn't use content based tagging and the documents look different on each browser. You can't carefully design a document and be sure that it will look the same even with a new browser version. For searching, HTDIG and the like, HTML is great, however. My suggestion is to keep 2 copies of a document around: one in a format that ideally uses content tagging and can reproduce faithful copies for printing (dvi, I suppose) and a HTML copy for browsing, indexing and the like. I would try to learn SGML. From SGML you can create all types of documents, including HTML. Even LaTeX is better, and Latex-documents usually are searchable, too. Using the right style files, you can even have content-tagging. LaTeX2HTML translates LaTeX into HTML. The editor: I don't care. WYSIWYG doesn't bother me, because in LaTeX I trust (after having made my own style files). Emacs+AucTeX+RefTeX is my favourite combination, but vi would do the same job. -- Michael Bonetsmüller The least we can do is wave to each other [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Van der Graaf Generator

Your 'connect' chat script should end at CONNECT. PAP means that the
authentication is done during the PPP negotiation. All you have to do is to
add a line like this to your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file:
your-name provider-name your-password
and to /etc/ppp/peers/provider:
user your-name
remotename provider-name
The latter line can be omitted if this is your only ISP connection - in that
case, substitute 'provider-name' with an * (asterisk).

I just set up an alternate dialup account that used PAP and I'll have to

CDROM problem
hello, when I install the latest version of linux (debian) from a CDROM eveything works good until it begins with dselect. It ask me for the source and I tell it CDROM, after it ask me for the block device type and it is imposible to go ahead. I try some things like this: /dev/hdb but it say that the kernel do not support the iso9660 norm. I do not understand because it make the all instalation from the CDROM. If I execute a shell I can't mount the CDROM and it tell me the same thing about the iso norm even if I mount it with the next command: mount /dev/hdb -t iso9660 /cdrom Last year with the same computer I could install an older version of debian. Now I can't install the same version. The only thing that difers from before is that I have install a CDROM writer. I have a pentium 166MMX. Notes: - I can install the latest version of RED HAT and after I can mount perfectly the CDROM but I prefer to install the Debian distribution. - Somebody told me that probably the iso9660 file system is configured as a module but I couldn't do anything wiyh the insmod command.
