dpkg and dselect
Howdy all:-) First off, many thanks to the people who responded to my DOSKey and file format queries. Lots of great information sent my way and much appreciated at this end! :-) Quick recap of my problem here: The Rescue/Base installation refuses to install LILO on my system. The boot disk refuses to boot up because, AFAIK, LILO isn't installed on the harddrive. Changed the reference in SYSLINUX.CFG on the floppy boot disk to: APPEND root=/dev/fd0 ro from APPEND root=/dev/hda6 ro When prompted for the root floppy I used the file image floppy generated by ROOT.BIN..still the system won't boot. OK, I thought did I, no problem, I will just do a LILO manual install with the LILO_19-2.deb file I grabbed off the Debian site and tweak it from there. Read the information on dpkg and dselect in the debian and install docs.booted the Rescue floppy and went into the shell. From what I can see, neither dpkg or dselect is included (or can be run from the shell) in the base installation setup. (ARRRH..did I mention yet that I'm having fun? grin). I seemed to have reached a Catch-22 stage here and am no longer sure how to proceed on rectifying this problem...any words of wisdom for this confused but enthusiastic newbie would be greatly appreciated. :-) It's A Magical World, Hobbes, Ol' Buddy... ...Let's Go Exploring ! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

The Rescue/Base installation refuses to install LILO on my system. The boot disk refuses to boot up because, AFAIK, LILO isn't installed on the harddrive. If the boot disk doesn't load, what do you see? Is it a bootable floppy? Do you see any letters of the word 'LILO'? Changed the reference in SYSLINUX.CFG on the floppy boot disk to: APPEND root=/dev/fd0 ro from APPEND root=/dev/hda6 ro I don't think that this has anything to do with lilo.

Re: XServers and P9100 chipset
Don't know how much thos S3 cards Joost wrote about cost, but it may be more cost effective to buy AxxeleratedX from Xi Graphics ($99, www.xig.com). It does support your card/chipset and you can download a demo before buying to make sure (times out after 10 mins). Install was a piece of cake, and it works great with my Alliance ProMotion 6422 that was for the longest time unsupported by XFree and lately only somewhat supported (and I'm too clueless to be of much help to the XFree developers). One caveat. If you're using XFree 3.3 (you still need it, you just don't need the XFree Server) you will have to ungzip your font directories and then compress them (optional) as recent list traffic suggests. Xi may have directions for doing this on their website.

It proved to be painless for me and has bash-2.01. It is a rather small step, making my system in no way unstable. This is surely a good idea. But you can't use dselect for this, you can't tell the testers of linux distributions to install some 'unstable' packages, whatever that means, before judging the power and actuality of debian before they publish. What would you think if we asked the maintainers to have a distribution between stable and unstable, somewhat like current ? It could be stable, but actual. Including libc6 _and_ 5, running the best packages of hamm, but keeping the basics with debian 1.3.1. When using the whole unstable distribution someone has to be a developer to accept having to fiddle around with the small bugs every now and then. But there could be a way to have a slowly improving system which is not always upgraded by hand. What I want to say is that when we don't use the capabilities of dselect together with dftp regularly, its more convenient to buy cd's every half a year.

The POSIX standard is a method of assuring source-code-level compatibility across a number of different software platforms. It specifies the software interface of a Unix-like operating system. A program using the standard facilities should compile properly and run the same way on any system that complies with the standard. Linux was already close to POSIX before anyone started working on actual compliance with the standard. In the past year or so it has gotten much closer to POSIX, as some Linux distribution creators have been running POSIX compliance tests and have been feeding the bugs they find back to the authors. We thank them for this effort. Until recently it was prohibitively expensive for the Debian GNU/Linux project to participate in the POSIX effort, because there was a high fee for copies of the standard, the compliance test software, and certification by a POSIX lab. Now, the U.S. Government National Institute of Standards and Technology has released a free version of their Federal Information Processing Standard 151-2 compliance test software, which tests for compliance with a superset of POSIX. They decided to make that software free so that more people would implement POSIX, and we applaud that decision. We got right to work on Debian's POSIX compliance. We currently plan to provide the capability for end-user verification - you can run the POSIX test suite on your own system if you like. There will be several POSIX-compliant Linux distributions available under the GPL. Debian GNU/Linux is the only one that's made by a non-profit organization rather than a for-profit concern. Our team of 110 volunteer developers have built a system that's equal to or better than any Linux distribution you can find. As always, we invite all organizations, for-profit and non-profit, to derive their systems and software from Debian GNU/Linux and to participate in the Debian development effort. In this way, you can acquire a POSIX-compliant base upon which you can add value. You don't need our permission to distribute and sell Debian, you need only comply with the software licenses of the programs it contains. This offer is even open to the developers of other Linux distributions.

You paid for copies of the standard, you paid for validation software, and you paid for a POSIX compliance lab to certify you. So it was a way for the well-funded commercial Linux projects to differentiate themselves from high-quality but underfunded efforts like Debian. Now, they will have to use the still-costly X/Open standards to differentiate themselves. Just my CHF 0.02: I suppose that the POSIX-compliance test is relatively cheap[1] in comparison to the XPG4 branding (afterward the branding are allowed to call your ``Un*x''-clone a ``Unix'' [note the capitalization]). I don't know how much the POSIX compliance testing actually costs, but buying the standards is affordable[2] (quoting IEEE 1996 catalog): member list 1003.1b-1993 (POSIX.1, C-API, Realtime extension) $68.40 $114.00 1003.2d-1994 (POSIX.2, ShellUtilities, Amendment 1) $40.08 $68.00 1003.3-1991 (Test methods for measuring conformance to POSIX) $22.20 $37.00 [skipping FORTRAN] 9945-1:1990(E) (POSIX.1, C-API f.

Fetchmail/Mail Routing probs
All mail for our domain is placed in a POP account that we access remotely via fetchmail to distribute locally. The problem I have is mainly mailing lists. Fetchmail does not see the recipients address in the Received: header info. So messages all end up in the calling user's mailbox. The Fetchmail docs warn of such problems. My questions: 1.) Do others with this arrangement have this kind of problem. 2.) If they have worked through this, how? If there is a simple solution already documented, send me to it.

Re: dpkg and dselect
On Fri, 26 Sep 1997, Lawrence Lucier wrote: The Rescue/Base installation refuses to install LILO on my system. What steps did you take to get here? The installation should be nearly complete at this point. You made partitions, installed and configured the kernel and drivers, installed and configured the base system? So, what were the steps you followed to install LILO, and what error messages, if any, did you recieve? The boot disk refuses to boot up because, AFAIK, LILO isn't installed on the harddrive. The boot disk does not depend on LILO or the hard drive to boot up the kernel. You will need a valid root file system for the kernel to mount before the boot up can complete. Changed the reference in SYSLINUX.CFG on the floppy boot disk to: APPEND root=/dev/fd0 ro No root file system here ;-) from APPEND root=/dev/hda6 ro If this is actually where you installed the base system, what are the other partitions like? (BTW, LILO will not install on an extended partition AFAIK) When prompted for the root floppy I used the file image floppy generated by ROOT.BIN..still the system won't boot. This is a compressed image and is typically uncompressed on a RAM disk, so the arguments passed to the kernel are more complex than what you have used. When using loadlin for this task the command line looks like: loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin If you use APPEND and have used rawrite2.exe to put the root.bin image onto a floppy, you probably want to change the initrd to =/dev/fd0. OK, I thought did I, no problem, I will just do a LILO manual install with the LILO_19-2.deb file I grabbed off the Debian site and tweak it from there. Read the information on dpkg and dselect in the debian and install docs.booted the Rescue floppy and went into the shell. So, you can boot the rescue floppy! That's a start. It doesn't, however, get you to your new system. The rescue floppy runs its own root file system. You can mount your new system and look at and modify files on that partition, but you don't have access to any tools not available at installation time. This means you can't run dpkg/dselect from the rescue disk. From what I can see, neither dpkg or dselect is included (or can be run from the shell) in the base installation setup. (ARRRH..did I mention yet that I'm having fun? grin). I seemed to have reached a Catch-22 stage here and am no longer sure how to proceed on rectifying this problem...any words of wisdom for this confused but enthusiastic newbie would be greatly appreciated. :-) Before we can do much more for you, we will need some details of the installation as well as the failures you experienced.

the following output:

Now it seems like java doesn't work properly (which doesn't sound too
surprising). Netscape gives the following error when trying to execute an
applet:

properly before restarting.
Current value of CLASSPATH:

How can I get communicator to look at the proper place
