final patch for the DOSEmu/Slang/libcap problem
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, attached you'll find the final patch for the last problem regarding: a) DOSEmu does not compile because of slang b) libcap does not compile c) DOSEmu reboots itself, when winnt.exe finishes a) is solved by putting slang into fake* b) is solved by adding a new misc/libcap-patch c) is solved by having install.pl to put a file with a random filename into C:\netinst, and have DOIT.BAT call EXITEMU; to do so, I had to add: SHELL=COMMAND.COM /F /P so that Critical Errors (e.g. when C: is not formatted, yet) are supressed; BUT they are ignored for the winnt.exe phase, too! Note: because install.pl has CRLF newlines, the patch is a bit stange. Note#2: My problem with nano and libcursesw5 is as follows: I have the libcursesw5 devel package installed on my system, which is found by nano. I have exprimented, to trick nano's ./configure by CFLAGS=--sysroot=/.../fake, but this fails on my system (Debian Etch), for a simple test program, that ld is not configured for --sysroot. I found that nano can use slang as well, I configured heavily and finally I have a nano using slang-curses rather than libcurses. If there is no alternative, I have to look more closely to it. Is there, probably a better for compiling the Linux boot disk, either more depend on the host system or more complete independed?

The existance of the -notips for the service pack variants stem from the absence of links, I assume. How about merging all the -noptips.pl into one and use this as template and to require or do it in the Windows-specific -notips?

Hello, proposed patch includes: a) a faked access to special:DefaultUser(Desktop) by expanding AllUsers(Desktop) and replacing the returned string: s/All Users/Default User/ and expand, e.g., special:DEfaultUser(SendTo) by getting special:AllusersDesktop and replacing Desktop with (SendTo). Well, I'm not sure about how to access the Application Data (and friends), I guess, all one can do is to: 1) Get the profile path of the Default User by getting the AllUsersDesktop, strip the last path component, and replace All Users by Default User. The guess is that the built-in profiles are located in the same location. 2) Use the registry HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Explrorer\User Shell Folders which are projected ones, the Shell Folders are the effective ones, which do point to the system profile. b) when invoked as runexp.pl cmd arguments the arguments are canonelized if they start with special:, I'm using it for instance: todo.pl .ignore-err 256 runexp.pl move \special:Programs\XYZ\ \special:AllUsersPrograms\Utils\ c) added the option --show to specify the window style setting normal/minimized/maximized of the created shortcut.

Attached you find: a) A perl script that takes the valid URLs from the Adobe web page, be it v7.0.5, v7.0.7 or v6; b) a .BAT file produced of it. Note: There are languages with only v6, hence, someone should add the installation of adobe reader v6 again. Also: I assumed the three-digit language code to be the same as the one used by the Adobe URL, maybe I'm wrong. Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser adrd.tgz Description: GNU Unix tar archive

Problems with some ASUS P4P800-E
Hello, just for info: some weeks ago we bought one computer with a ASUS P4P800-E motherboard, this week we got another charge of about 7 of them - same dealer, same components, same BIOS revision (1002 BETA 002). They have an onboard Marvel Yukon and an additional PCI 3com 905-C NIC, On the old one, the unattended linux boot CD is working. On the new ones (I tried three of the seven) it does not, it stops with the line: ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040326 Sometimes I also get another line from ACPI: about some IRQ21 problems, sorry I don't have the exact string. There is no change whether I enable/disable power management settings in the BIOS. When I disable the Power Management in linux-2.6.8.1, hte boot CD is working, although it does not get any DHCP lease, but telling me: info, udhcpc (v0.9.9-pre) started eth0: Could not reserve IRQ23 SIOCSIFFLAGS: Function not supported debug, Sending discover... No matter whether I plug in the network cable into the Marvel or 3com NIC. although: when I enable all (and I mean all: ACPI 2.0, several tables etc.) power management features in the BIOS, it must re-try to get a DHCP lease about three times, but then it gets one (there is no Could not reserve IRQ error); the older computer gets the lease at the first try on the same network cable. Finally it works at least :) Is ACPI required for the unattended boot disk at all? Couldn't it disabled by default? === Now I have the problem, that I have an USB keyboard attached, but the boot disk doesn't recognize it. Time to search for a PS/2 one. Umm, no that's not that easy: When I plug in a PS/2 keyboard to the computer (and leave the USB keyboard attached), I get the following line before the Trying smbmount line: usb 2-1.5: new full speed USB device using address 3 input: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Cherry USB-Keyboard] These lines are missing when I unplug the PS/2 keyboard?! And, hence, the USB-keyboard is working only, when I have a PS/2 keyboard attached as well - that's funny ;-) Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

Some prepare suggestions
Hello, I'm just back from a short vacation and fired up a cvs update of unattended and ran tools/prepare and was told that there is no scripts file. The reason is that one is to first cd into ./tools and run ./prepare. I hadn't read the manual well enough, so I ran ./tools/prepare. Attached is a diff to let both prepare and check run from within any directory. === Then I have the problem that after running cvs update/co, I have all the packages in scripts again that I do not want to install and, hence, I do not need to download anything for. I tried to replace those scripts by zero-length files, so that cvs update does not re-download the deleted files, but then when they change, you get plenty of reject-stuff. I wonder if it would be better to have a persistent state of what packages and updates are to be downloaded, which is separated from CVS, e.g.: variant 1) seen in apache2: There is both a sites-available and a sites-enabled directory, they grab configuration data from *-enabled only, but supply and update the data in *-available only. So, one could have, say, install/scripts for all maintained scripts; but prepare and check use the directory install/site/scripts only to populate the packages and updates directories. install/site/scripts could be the same as the /etc/rc?.d/--symlinks to the /etc/init,d/* script. The disadvantage is that new scripts become active by a manual action only. The advantage: No CVS is trying to meddle around with the contents of the site/ directory, hence, one can savely put own scripts there, even if their name conflicts with future maintained scripts. Disadvantage #2: Current scripts might use the path install/scripts to access other scripts directly. variant 2) there is an ignore list in install/site Here: install/scripts contains the maintained scripts and install/site/ignore the information, which scripts are to be ignored. Advantage: new scripts become active immediately. Disadvantage: Own scripts might interfere with future managed scripts. Thinking about it, it would be also nice to have persistent modifications to other scripts, e.g. to not install Media Player 9 or MovieMaker or a selected set of options currently available in win*-notips.pl. How does other people keep modifications through a CVS update? Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser prepare.diff.bz2 Description: diff for prepare/check

The fileserver is running Samba 3.0.2a What (if anything) does your smb.conf have for the settings case sensitive and unix extensions? My initial guess: If you set unix extensions = no the problem will disappear. You are right! These are my default settings that deals with filenames: ; Name mangling options preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes default case = lower ; unix extensions = no you cannot access a file that has an uppercase letter in its absolute Unix path spec (at least below the Samba root point (== path= setting in smb.conf), I haven't tested when the root point contains upper case characters itself).

If your machine has a modern BIOS, there should be files named host_bus and interface which uniquely identify the drive. If not, There are such files for the normal IDE drive, but not for the SATA disks. we fall back to using the disk size (sectors). If you have identical disks on the two SATA channels, then the size is not a sufficient The two disks are 100% identical, I do not see no difference in both folders, except some mbr_signature in int13_dev80. Also the contents of all the data is the same. Even the BIOS does not make it easy to distinguish between both channels - you see what you've selected by what is booted ;-) It amounts to this. If there is enough information under /sys/firmware/int13_dev80 to distinguish the device, then we should be doing so. If, on the other hand, int13_dev80 does NOT correspond to your boot device, that would be interesting as well... I'm trying to find someone, who has another SATA drive laying around or some IDE-to-SATA adaptor, so the information is not identical.

minor problem with find-boot-device
Hello, last week I reported that the script (of linuxboot CD of v4.4-test5) successfully finds the SATA boot disk of an ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe. I have configured: PATA/normal IDE: 1 hard disk (Linux) SATA channel #1: 1 hard disk (empty) SATA channel #2: 1 hard disk (Windows) The SATA channels are not part of a RAID. I can successfully make any of the three disks the BIOS boot device and it does boot the system installed there (or tells me no active partition); but the unattended boot disk differs between PATA and SATA only, hence, it makes no difference, if the BIOS as channel #1 or #2 selected as boot device. This is just a bug report as I was curious to test it. I do not intend to install windows there unattendedly. Bye, -- Steffen Kaiser --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
