Re: Strange ppp problem.
Well, I fixed the problem, but I still don't understand it. First, it has nothing to do with the kernels (whew). At the same time I was building the new 2.0.27 kernel, I was experimenting with setting up ppp over a nul modem cable (with little luck, I might add). After giving up on the ppp issue, I left the null modem cable connecting the two machines serial ports. This seems to be the culprit. As soon as I thought to remove the cable everything workes fine. In addition, it turned out not to be a retry issue, as I did some other work after a reboot and then could not establish the ppp connection. When it works pppd takes about 3 seconds to get chat up and dialing. When it doesn't work chat takes as much as 30-40 seconds to start dialing. I can only assume that chat is somehow delayed in reading the modem and misses the request for a login and then fails. The question is: Why does the cable interfere in the first place? Is this a cua vs tty issue? (My option file still uses cua3 as the device. It's an old pppd installation that I have been loath to "fix" by upgrading since, until now it has worked just fine) If I can find the time, I will try changing the cua entry and see if it will still work with the cable installed. I really need to fix this, since at some point I want both the modem and the serial port running pppd.

I was able to figure this out fine - how do I get "xterm" (from X3.2)
to display the colors, though? I tried all of the options ("+cm +dc")
that I would have thought enabled them, but they don't seem to work.
So then I thought maybe I'd switch to "rxvt", but in "rxvt" the
backsapce key doesn't work right. (I'm mapping backspace and delete
to backspace in my xmodmap.) How do these things get so complex :-)
Later,
Dale

(Something like p2c, f2c, etc) I have heard of commercial packages that claim to be able to translate Cobol to C, but I have never heard of a freely available one. Translating Cobol to C is simply a very hard thing to do. C doesn't support many of the things that are built into Cobol, such as packed decimal arithmetic, accessing databases, etc. Yes, you can get packages that let C do the similar things, but it still isn't an easy translation. This is especially true if you want to use the resulting C code for more than just an intermediate step of "compiling the Cobol" program. I have heard of simplistic freely available Cobol interpreters for Unix, but I don't think they are good enough to be used in a serious way. -wayne -- Wayne Schlitt can not assert the truth of all statements in this article and still be consistent. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

1.2 installation, problem making boot floppy
Hi everyone. I have problems with making a boot floppy during the installation of 1.2. I do not have the exact error message but it appears when I have selected to make a boot floppy for my system (just before the rebooting part). It's when the installation program is formatting the floppy; it says I/O error or something like that at sector 17 (again from memory). And yes I've tried with several new floppies. The result is always the same, even if I take one of the installation floppies which was written correctly on my 1.1.don't_remeber system. If I switch to vt2 and try running superformat I also get this error message. I've tried "superformat -d /dev/fd0", "superformat -D a", "superformat -D a:", "superformat -d /dev/fd0 --hd" and "superformat -d /dev/fd0 --dd" and probably other pertubations as well. By the way, it's a 1.44M floppy drive. When I try to format one floppy that has failed like this on my 1.1.don't_remeber system with fdformat, it usually results i an I/O error there also, now! However if I do "mdir", which results in an error message like "probably not a dos disk", and THEN do "fdformat /dev/fd0", it works! Now perhaps somebody can try out the make boot floppy part of the installation and tell us if it works for them or not. If anybody has an idea what the problem might be please let me know.

Re: How to convert attached files - Question
Ahh, right. Sorry about that ... I assumed a Mime-compliant mailer on the other end such as Pine which can handle this format. But any Base64 decoder should do the trick. I think metamail provides one, but haven't tried it myself. I think the easiest thing to do is just obtain and install Pine, which is quite a fine mail reader. It is available in the non-free area.

Re: moving directories to new partition

If you proceed with your plans, you risk being without /bin (if the partition holding it won't mount) and having an unfixable system. Not a good thing. My normal approach is to create a new directory somewhere (if there won't be too many I put it on /) and give it a representative name (/slashextend in your case?). In that directory, I make the appropriate directories (bin, home, lib, root) and migrate the files (using either tar cvf somefile /bin; cd /slashextend; tar xvpf /path/to/somefile OR cp -p -r /thisdir /thatdir). Once the migration is tested, then I rmdir the original directory and place a symbolic link from /home to /slashextend/home. I'd suggest that you consider putting more on your / partition (as opposed to less as you propose) and then freeing up some space elsewhere. I do some of the above on my box. I have a Linux "server" and a triple-boot workstation (95, NTW, Linux). Unfortunately, I have an overly new network card which isn't supported, so I don't have this fully working yet. I have the following partitions on the server: The usual: (hda and hdc are both Quantum 850, hdc2 is 120M swap) Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda1 19485 14050 4429 76% / /dev/hdc4 288354 33 273428 0% /tmp /dev/hda2 223494 14428367670 68% /usr /dev/hdc3 1981238697 179195 5% /var The not-so-usual (hdb is a 3.1G WD). /dev/hda3 560060 13660 517471 3% /nfs /dev/hdb12990073 914789 1920659 32% /server /nfs contains /nfs/home, /nfs/usr/local, and /nfs/spool/mail. Once I get the workstation up and networked, I can just mount /nfs via NFS into the workstation, symlink /home, /usr/local, and /var/spool/mail, and I'll have all of my appropriate files with only one NFS mount. I've got 560M to play with between personally-built programs, home directories, and incoming mail. The symlinks mentioned above are already in place on the server, so the setup will be identical on server and workstation (except for export out vs. mounted in). /server contains /server/ftp, and /home/ftp is a symlink to /server/ftp. I already provide a mirror of ftp.debian.org/debian/, and I might end up providing a variety of other services in the future, so this way I can use one big drive in a variety of ways without having to dump, repartition, and restore. I used to mount the big drive on /nfs/home/ftp, but that becomes very restrictive (I have to make other directories available by ftp if I ever want to make new directories on that partition). I tend to play a lot with performance tuning and disk usage, so holler if you have questions. :) --Pete ___ Peter J.

re: Cards using the Plug and Play protoc

I manage to ear the CDs (booting first in MS-Dos mode) but > thats all. Since the current kernel hasn't P&P support, you'll need the isapnp tools to configure your card. I don't know whether there is a Debian package of it available yet, but in any case you can pick up a copy from sunsite. Archie tells me the URL is ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/pub/pnp/utils/isapnptools-1.8.tgz Grab the package, compile it, and RTFM. Basically, you'll have to run pnpdump to extract info about the SoundBlaster card and its possible configurations. Capture that info to a file and edit it to give you the configuration you want. You must then create a small init file that reads this config each time you boot in /etc/init.d. See the readme provided there for details on how to set up your own init file. Once you have that down, you can recompile your kernel to give you sound support for the Soundblaster with the paramaters you'veconfigured. Works for me, YMMV.

Then i connected my modem on (cua0 because of PS/2 mouse) and started minicom which can't reach the modem. When i type a command like "AT" i got no response. And when i use ppp both modem (USR sportster) establish the connection but pppd daemon. Does anyone has an idea of what to do ?

Cards using the Plug and Play protocol
Hi == I have bought a SoundBlaster 16 PnP (Plug and Play) sound card to my computer, since then I am trying to put it to work with litle success. I manage to ear the CDs (booting first in MS-Dos mode) but thats all. I reed in the Sound-HOWTO that "Cards using the Plug and Play protocol are not currently supported but should be in the future" Is this still true? (I have kernel-source-1.99.7-0.deb).

moving directories to new partition
I am in need of some advice about how to go about moving some of the directories off of my main partition and onto one I just made. /dev/hda4 is currently mounted / /dev/hda8 is currently mounted /tmpmount I'd like to be able to move /home, /root, /lib, /bin, and a couple others over to /dev/hda8 How would I approach this? I need the space to install quake ;-) and a few other packages I've been itching to try.

please help g77 broken
After upgrading to Debian 1.2 g77 is broken. It says when invoked gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `f771': No such file or directory But f771 is in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2/ and is executable by everyone. I have reinstalled gcc and g77 but that did not help.

There's one Debian developer who has voiced strong objections to the spam filter. I'd prefer to leave it on. What do you guys think? Please reply to me, not the list.

Is this OK??
Hi all, I have been trying to make xserver-svga_3.2 to work on my system with no luck. When I do 'startx' I get blank screen. I can change to other console and do ps -a and it shows that X is running. But I cannot see anything. I am using old XF86Config script which worked for me with xserver-svga_3.1. Does any one have any idea as to why not? So to make X run again I extracted XF86_SVGA from xserver-svga_3.1 and placed it in /usr/X11R6/bin and renamed one that was there to something else(just in case). Now I can run X. Is this okay? Do I need to worry about any side effects? Thanks, David -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
