repartitioning hard drive
This is a variation on the theme of moving parts of the directory tree to another hard drive that was on this list a while ago. I have a 800M hard drive that is currectly split roughly in half between a DOS partition (411M) and a Debian + swap set of petitions. The Debian partition is almost full and the DOS one is half empty (reflecting the amount of time I find myself spending in the respective OS's (and if I could learn (La)TeX I would use DOS even less) then it would be a matter of teaching my daughters). I boot using loadlin from DOS. So what I want to do is take the DOS partition /dev/hda1 and split it in half, creating a new Linux partition (copying and mounting as /home). As I contemplate the move I think it could get very sticky. As I see it this is what might happen... Current Device Boot BeginStart End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 *11 413 416272+ 6 DOS 16-bit =32M /dev/hda2 414 414 799 389088 83 Linux native /dev/hda3 800 800 82526208 82 Linux swap Projected Device Boot BeginStart End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 *11 200 ... 6 DOS 16-bit =32M /dev/hda2 201 201 413 ... 83 Linux native /dev/hda3 414 414 799 389088 83 Linux native /dev/hda4 800 800 82526208 82 Linux swap First, am I correctly understanding what will happen when I fdisk and create the new partition between 201 and 413? If so, then must I unmount the old /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda3, perform the fdisk and then mount them again? And if I do that, do I need to mount a floppy with the kernel on it and possibly other files (umount, mount, fdisk, mkfs maybe?) for the transition? After I get past that part, I think I know what to do (gleaned from previous maessages).

Recompiling kernel broke my ppp
Title says most of it. I have had this problem before, and now I can't figure out how to fix it, nor can I find the previous reference in the mailing list archives. So here it is: I have been running 2.0.6 kernel for some time now with no problems. I was experimenting around with trying to get my SB16 audio card and my AHA1542 to work at the same time (wanted to hear Biff bark g) but had no luck. So I moved my original kernel back to /vmlinuz, but now ppp doesn't work. I can start my chat script, the modem dials, I get connected. I see the remote IP in the routing tables. I see the IP I have been dynamically assigned. I can ping myself (ppp0), but if I ping the remote IP, I see the xmit light on the modem blink, but there is no answer from the remote site. I am using kerneld, so pppd goes away if I let the modem disconnect. Tried recompiling from the 2.0.6 kernel-source with and without kernel ppp support. Did the make modules and modules_install. I am stumped. What should I try to get this fixed? I am sure it is simple but it escapes me. Thanks! --- Ken Gaugler Systems Engineer, Hybrid Networks, Inc.

is it me or deselect?
First - my apologies to all those working so hard on the bleeding edge, for questions relating to an old version. 1) Deselect keeps showing me that the kernel-source- 2.0.6.deb is available (after repeated Packages updates). Of course it won't download because it's not there. I've gotten the tar from sources, but that's not the same as a deb file (as we've all been warned). I'd prefer to install from a deb through dselect or dpkg. I depend on my Linux machines so I'd like to stick with 2.0.6 until a bit after the 1.2 release. Is there a -2.0.6.deb available anywhere by ftp? 2) Packages are listed at the top of dselect (when it's started) as available upgrades. However, some of these depend on newer packages (such as libc5) that are not yet in stable. Therefore, there is no way to make deselect happy while pointed to the stable ftp directory. Suggestions? Otherwise, as Alan Greenspan would say, I'm irrationally exuberant about debian. Thanks in advance. JohnT -- This message was delayed because the list mail delivery agent was down.

shared debian installations

I have applied the 'Transnames Patch' to my kernel, and have the root filesystem of my server box mounted on the 'diskless' machine.

The boot floppy I made using the methods described in the Documentation dir under the kernel source. If you like, I have made a version of the Transnames patch, using CVS, against kernel 2.0.25. It is on my WWW page. The patch is identical to the one found on sunsite, except that I have hand-fixed a .rej where a variable name had changed between 2.0.? and 2.0.25.

Can I do this? If so how? I need to set up a pixmap path that will point to a place relative to the users home directory.

What device to use for, say, kermit connectivity tests ? Well, the standard IRQ+COM selection was my problem. After setting the jumpers in the proper way and selecting a non-conflicting IRQ I am able to use the /dev/ttyS2 (IRQ=5) for my ISA-bus modem. Sorry for asking ...

APM problem on laptop
I posted a question about a problem I have with my notebook's suspend feature. Several people suggested using APM, which I already have. I said I'd look up the actual error message, so here it is. After about every five minutes of inactivity, the following message will appear in the current virtual console: apm_bios: set display standby: Unrecognised device ID I'm running a kernel compiled from 1.99.7 sources with the APM daemon. Also: bash$ apm -v APM BIOS 1.1 (kernel driver 1.2) bash$ apm -V apm version 2.4 My notebook is a P75 HiGrade `Notino Mover' with a Cirrus Logic GD7543 SVGA passive display. Is there anything else I should look up? Please Cc: me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], since I'll be on the move for a few days and won't be able to read debian-user. Thanks very much, Casper Boden-Cummins. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
