However, it's useful to leave this in, as it's a (simple-minded)
indicator that your systlog is indeed running. This can be useful
information in the event of a system crash or hack attempt.

Debian is a good start. The base system is pretty small
(like 20-30 M maybe? Quite different from Red Hat's
two HUNDRED meg minimum installation) and many
things can be missed from it.
You do need to install it first, then "undress" it down
to 12MB before it will fit on your (must be pretty
rare) 12 MB harddisk. Transferring a linux partition
is not hard. I do hope you don't need a swap partition
on that 12MB drive :-)

Does anyone know much about these things?
I have done the following:

mknod /dev/tap0 c 36 16
insmod -x -o tap0 ethertap unit=0
ifconfig tap0 192.168.1.201
All performed without a problem.
I can even ping the damn thing.
The file permissions are as follows
crw-rw-r-- 1 root root 36, 16 July 7 15:39 /dev/tap0
but when I try to open it for writing in my code with this line:
fd = open ("/dev/tap0", O_WRONLY)
if (fd < 0)
{
fprintf (stderr, "writeEth: could not open /dev/tap0\n%s\n", strerror

}
The code outputs the following:
writeEth: could not open /dev/tap0
Device or resource busy.
Busy? I did not think it was doing anything yet
Could someone please sped some light on this problem?

Its not standard procedure. Wherever did you read that you should use
make clean? You *should* be using 'make mrproper' before 'make xconfig'
which servers a similar purpose, only it clears out additional stuff.

I think what you're wanting is to have the system come up normally in
multi-user mode, and have your 'front' process running on one of the
text-mode consoles?
You could try adding a line like this (below) to your /etc/inittab:
front:235:respawn:/path/to/your/program/process2 2>&1 > /dev/tty12 < /dev/tty12
This will start your program whenever the system enters multi-user mode,
and will redirect its stdout and stderr to /dev/tty12 and its stdin from
/dev/tty12. if you want it on a different console, then change the two
instances of tty12 to something else.
Be aware that I'm telling you this without having first tested it,
so beware!

Hi,
You need to do the 'make clean' so that object files which may be
present are removed. Don't forget you could have configured different
values of compile time variables in the 'make xconfig' stage which
wouldn't then be in the object files. The normal action of make would be
to not rebuild the object file as it is newer than the source file. Thus
your changes to the config file would not get included.
FYI there is a paranoia option 'make mrproper', which can be done before
'make xconfig', and will remove symbolic links and even the .config file
- basically returning the source tree to 'pristine'.

You will be able to use them, as the other posters already mentioned,
but you cannot use the UDF filesystem yet as far as I know. So if you
don't care to make an iso9660 FS on the CD-RW's you're OK. There is read
support for the UDF filesystem, but for writing there's no support yet.

Hi,
As root run ntpq...
If it fails then xntpd is not running - it will refuse to run if the
time is more than 50 mins (IIRC) from the network time. If this is the
case use 'date' to get the time nearer and then 'setclock' to write to
the BIOS clock. Once in ntpq you can display the status of xntpd and get
the 'peer' information. For example here is mine.

You did add the server line to /etc/ntp.conf didn't you?
Mine is

Be aware that some of the 'NTP' clients on Windows aren't actally using
NTP at all. They use the 'daytime' (13) and/or 'time' (37) ports rather
than the 'ntp' (123) port - WorldTime is an example of this - it had me
going for a while. It is possible your server is not allowing 'true' NTP
access - there is a list somewhere of suitable servers - in my case my
ISP has one which is stratum 3 which is good enough for what I need.

Sorry I'm not too familiar with the standard names... but is the UDF

With some handwork you can cut down a SuSE or RedHat installation to 40 MB.
The best solution[tm] probably would be a "Linux from scratch".

Subject: bttv compile and other video questions
Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2000 01:02:27 -0800
Hi,
All day today I've been playing with getting my WinTV card(Hauppage,
bt878 based) working with RedHat 6.0. I'm at the point that I can view
broadcast TV via antenna(I need a longer coax to reach my cable), I can
view videos played on my vcr, and I can capture avi video with xawtv.
So what's the problem you ask? Well when I tried to compile bttv it
wouldn't even get going complaining that my kernel didn't support loadable
modules. This is not true, this is how I got it working, manually
inserting the modules into the kernel (after I realized my distro came
with bttv.o, videodev.o and tuner.o already) Plus my nic's and my
soundcard are loaded as modules, not compiled in. So the question is, not
being a programmer, how do I tell a Makefile that I do in fact have
loadable module support? Or how do I convince it of that fact?
Second, I read through all the docs I could find (and they're pretty weak)
as far as what to put into my /etc/conf.modules so that they get loaded at
boot time. You can probably guess the next question, they arent' getting
loaded, I have to do it manually each time. And it works! So why aren't
they getting loaded at boot? The appropriate section is:
alias char-major-81 bttv
pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner;modprobe -k msp3400
options bttv radio=1
options tuner type=2
do I need a modprobe -k bttv so it loads videodev and i2c as well? Simply
doing a modprobe bttv as root after booting sets everything up to work.
As for bttvgrab I can't get it to work at all. Either it starts up and
goes crazy capturing lord knows what, or if I start it with -d t (Tcl/Tk)
when I try and run a capture it says unknown option --q or some such.
Anyone get it to work?
And lastly, since I did manage to capture an avi file how do I convert
that to mpeg considering the avi is 90MB or so for less than a minute of
video at 15fps.
Ok really the last one, I tried Broadcast2000 to capture as well and as
soon as I click on record, the video monitor goes blank and I get a blank
capture. Also trying to open up the avi file to edit it, caused an error
out of shared memory. Anyone successfully using Broadcast2000?
Thanks for any help. Sorry for the length, and feel free to direct me
to a more appropriate group if this ain't it.

You can read this in `Running Linux', by Matt Welsh and Lar Kaufman
(O'Reilly), 2nd Ed, pp.189-90. This says you do make config, make dep,
make clean (if you've made a kernel from this source tree previously),
make zImage. I've always done this over several years and must have
built at least 20 kernels; no problems at all. The only time I did make
mrproper it screwed things up so I don't do it. (I should say I don't
use modules.)

Well heck I'll reply. Won't be much help though.
I'm using a SB PCI 512 under linux using the beta
driver from Creative Labs site. It seems to be
working fine. No experience with telephony,
no experience with microphone input though.
As far as sound cards my impression is that you'd
be better off with a Sound Blaster, since they seem
to have the most support under Linux. Also check
the Creative Labs site, they should be able to tell
you if the driver supports full-duplex or not.
Good Luck

Hi. I have 2 pc's, server and client01, and a working network...
On the server I run
root# esd -public -port 11112 &
and it says:
"- accepting connections on port 11112"
and gives the beep sounds. Everithing works ok here. fine.
Now on the client (which has no soundcard) I play an mp3 with mpg123 and
it says:
"<snipped mpg123 no warranty stuff>
/dev/dsp: No such device
/dev/dsp: No such device
/dev/dsp: No such device
audio: No such device"
still seems normal for it can't detect a soundcard
Then on client I do a
root# export ESPEAKER=server:11112
and then again some mpg123, but then it returns:
"<snipped mpg123 no warranty stuff>
audio: Connection refused"
so mpg123 picks up the ESPEAKER env var, but it is refused, while the
port is made public (the -public switch on esd). Whatever I try, giving
192.168.15.100, server or server.tijmen.tn as host, ar trying other
ports (off course with esd too), it still refuses the connection.
the tails of /var/log/messages on both pc's are clean...
What could be the problem and how do I solve it???

p.s. please mail me too, because i might miss the last messages, for I'm
going on vacation soon. Thanks
