FIPS tiene problemas con una particion 0B...
Hola ! Vereis, quiero instalar Debian en un ordenador que tiene W95 intalado. Para ello he intentado proceder a utilizar FIPS para separar en dos las unica particion que tiene el sistema. Pero el FIPS dice que no puede hacerlo con un particion de tipo 0Bh, es decir las WIN FAT 32. Por ello intente con el cfdisk (cargandolo desde el Rescue Disk) cambiar el tipo de particion, en concreto a una 04, es decir DOS FAT16. Pero entonces al ejecutar de nuevo el FIPS, este protesta con que hay dos directorios root o algo asi, no se muy bien lo que quiere decir. ¿Me podeis ayudar?, os lo agredecere mucho... GRACIAS !!!

La función de las partes faltantes se realiza por medio de drivers para los cuales (obviamente) no está disponible el código fuente, por lo tanto no se pueden usar en Linux. Probablemente si lo único que dice es Windows 95 Certified (o sus equivalentes), esté bien, pero asegúrate que NO sea un Winmodem. Los Plug and Play funcionan bajo linux pero hay que tener paciencia. Es necesario hacer una que otra pirueta. (Ahora que lo pienso, no recuerdo por qué tu modem no funciona). Como quieres un modem externo, no tienes que preocuparte por la parte de los IRQ's y direcciones y cosas de esas... claro, tienes que estar seguro que los puertos seriales en tu computadora soportan el modem (en estos días eso se da casi por un hecho) Marcelo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

However, this time of inconvenience will pass; especially as it becomes a given that PINE will not be distributed as it used to be.

NIS very slow (frozen)
Hi, when i do a 'ls -l /var/mail' (directory imported with NFS), each line takes about 0.5s to appear. I think it is caused by very slow NIS requests. Is there a way to speed up things ? The server is a sunos4 machine. Is this related to this warning in one README file : Check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file and make sure that the entries for passwd, group, shadow and netgroup look like this: passwd: compat group:compat shadow: compat netgroup: nis At this moment, libc6 has some troubles with reading netgroup data from files. So do not use db or files in the entry for netgroup, all netgroup lookups have to go through the NIS server.

But I get the same error message about the device 03:01 if I boot from a floppy (with VFS: Cannot open root device 03:01 on the line just before). The kernel version reads 2.0.33 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) #2 (gcc 2.7...)Wed Apr 1 04:20:21 CST 1998 The Adaptec BIOS version reads Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra W SCSI BIOS v1.32S10 It seems to be recognised. At least the console correctly lists the SCSI hard drive, CD-ROM and tape unit where the ... are above. Now if I use the old Debian 1.2 rescue floppy (kernel 2.0.27) I can boot and access my hard drive (e.g. I can mount /dev/sda1 and read it). - The second problem now. When I boot with the old Debian 1.2 floppy I get to the point where I must partition my hard disk. I already made partitions for Linux. In fact I know my hard disk has a small (500MB) Primary partition and a big (8.2GB) extended partition in which I have partitions for Linux. The problem is that (c)fdisk sees the second partition as Primary with an Unknown (0F) file system. How do I get to see my extended partitions ? What I did is that I installed Win95 and NT4.0 Enterprise Server on this machine. I don't remember what I used to partition the disk, probably dos fdisk but maybe I later modified it with NT4.0 fdisk at installation time. - (Not really a problem in itself) Is there a way to get a dump of the messages that print on the screen at boot time or at least slow down the scrolling so that I have more time to read them/write them down ?

how do I fix hamm and bo conflicts?
I am reposting this because, I did not get any replies and I suspect that the listserv doesn't post messages from non-subscribers. I had bo installed. Then I tried to install hamm and my system became unusable. (The hamm installs disks were the old libc version.) I had files from hamm and bo on the system. I decided to reinstall bo. I found that there were duplicate binary files. Sometimes when I would execute a command the hamm command would be found before the bo command. The hamm command was presumably linked with the new libc libraries. How do I determine if a file is from bo, hamm, or from another source? It seems that dpkg -S file_name is not accurate. I tried a dpkg -S ldconfig and nothing was returned. A utility to verify the integrity of a distribution say hamm or bo would be usefull. Today an old problem with telnet reoccurred. While preparing to recompile inetd I found this bit of wisdom in a README file that may apply to my system: Please make sure your header files in /usr/include match your libc version installed in /lib and /usr/lib. If you have weird problems this is the most likely culprit. How do I check this? Now, it seems to me that the only way to fix my system without installing hamm is to start deleting directory trees and reinstall everything. Are there any suggestions on what directories to delete or ways to verify the integrity of bo? Donald Harter Jr. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

However, I am currently running a bo system (waiting for hamm to go stable) and I can't find a package for mutt. Is there one? The only package I could see was for hamm - and that requires libc6. There's a (by now already quite old) libc5 version in bo-unstable/binary-i386/mutt_0.88-1bo1.deb . If you want a newer version, please compile it from source; the Debian mutt source should still compile on a bo system without problems. Also, I was considering installing libc6 - is it difficult? It's not as easy as installing a new package, but it isn't very difficult. what would be the best way to do it (ie. should I just get the libc6.deb file and use dpgk -i?)
