The following alias is in my .alias file alias xboard='xboard -size small' This does not work from xterm, but it does work if I execute it through a BASH box. This is true even though env in the xterm shows that bash is the shell. Also the commmand type -all xboard does not return the alias in xterm, nor on the consol ( not in windows ). It only shows both the original command and the alias when I am in the BASH shell window. Since I assumed that .alias was global. I am confused by this. Any insights are appreciated.

Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 and WindowsNT?
I've looked through the FAQ's and didn't see this particular question addressed, only Windows 95. I am planning to install Debian GNU/Linux 1.3 AND WindowsNT onto a PC and was wondering which order and what tools should be used. I will be installing them on a 'new' machine with nothing loaded. For the Linux side, I want to have the full 128M swap partition and a partition for Linux itself. What size partition would you recommend for Linux, I plan to use it primarily for C programming at first, as well as Web surfing, until I get more comfortable with it, then I will probably use it for most compatible applications. For the WindowsNT, I plan to use DJGPP C compiler and Microsoft Office, as we use Office at work and I want to stay compatible. We also use Lotus Notes 4.5 And I have a PalmPilotPro that I sync with Lotus with there beta conduit. If Linux can access the Windows partition, do I still need to keep a relatively large partition for Linux, or can I keep most of my files and work on the Windows partition to allow access from both sides? WindowsNT comes with an option to select the operating system at boot, should I use this or one of the utilities I've seen listed, or the batchfile technique? I plan to have at least 4G of hard drive space when I buy the PC, how would you recommend splitting that between Windows and Linux? Sorry for the basic questions but I have never had to set up a PC for myself before and I don't want to have to re-partition my hard drive more than once. I am used to sitting down in front of a fully loaded and running system, but I feel it is important that I load my PC myself to ensure it is the way I want. Thank you for your patience and assistance and mostly for a powerful and free operating system that is not crippled by proprietary and self gratifying code like the system that comes pre-installed in most PC's.

Question about libc5 - libc6 upgrade.
Hi Folks, I was considering upgrading to hamm, but my wonderfull ISP just decided that it was going to charge $0.25 for every Meg over 300M downloaded each month. Given that I almost use that anyway, it'll take me about a year to download hamm without it costing me a fortune... Anyway, I would like to get my hands on some of the hamm packages, so I thought I'd maybe just start by upgrading to libc6 and taking it from there. I've read the mini-HOWTO, and got all the needed packages, but before I take the plunge, just wanted to make sure all was clear... Am I likely to break much if i just upgrade those packages listed in the mini-HOWTO?

I am opposed to mangling a package merely to cover the deficiency of another. Besides, it shall not help the person who does not use kernel-package. kernel-package is by no means mandatory (it has priority optional, so is not installed by default either). ^^ Just in case it had slipped your mind, bin86 /is/ installed by default. It is standard, so I can only assume that the people who occasionally ask the original question have at some time removed it. Perhaps a case of overcleaning? On the other hand, bin86's description says Description: Assembler and loader for kernel compilation. This is the as86 and ld86 distribution written by Bruce Evans. It's a complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit code for the 386+ processors (under linux it's used only to create the 16-bit bootsector and setup binaries). Perhaps compiling the kernel could be added inside the parentheses, so I've cc'd this posting to bin86's maintainer. Instead of glossing over this issue, we should investigate the possibilities of the new dpkg that klee has produced.

VERY strange dselect ftp-problem
Some days ago i installed the latest development-kernel (2.1.99) Everything works fine with it besides one thing: Updating my system via the dselect ftp-method is DAMN slow(about 1000 cps).

Install problem - kernel problems with Adaptec 2740 EISA cards
I downloaded the Official CD images 2 or 3 months ago and did all the checks and balances before burning a CD. I also checked the CD image file against the burned image (dd and cmp under a UNIX system) and found no errors. I tried to install from the CD using a DOS boot and running the install.bat file to start Linux (the one in the /boot directory). Initially, the kernel would find the 2740 cards, download sequencer code, reset the bus (3 times, once for each card), do a few other things (qlogicisp probe and eata-dma probe) and panic with the message Encounterd spurious interrupt. I checked the EISA config for the cards and found they were set to level trigger on the interrupts, changed this to edge trigger. The kernel then reports 3 spurious interrupts (1 per card, I presume), then aborts some scsi command due to timeout, resets the scsi bus, then enter an endless loop timeing out and resetting. The abort message is aborting command due to timeout: pid0, scsi0, channel0, id0, lun0 Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00. I have also created the boot floppy (rescue disk) from the CD and tried to boot from it with the same results. I have just downloaded from the ftp site the rescue disk image, on the off chance that there have been changes (but this looks unlikely - the CD image is 1.3.1 and the directory and time stamps look like mine). I have also checked the FAQ and scanned the currently open bugs lists to no avail.

Debian 1.31
Dear Sir, I am interested in buying and trying out Debian1.31. I want to get a feel on this OS. My problem is that I have only one PC at home with one 2Gb SCSI hard disk on which I run Windows 95 OSR2.0. I have an old 500MB IDE drive which I plan to plug into my onboard IDE controller on which I want to install Debian. My questions is I want to have the ability to dual boot with Debian and Windows 95 ? (I know with Windows NT and Windows 95 this is possible). Will such thing be possible Debian Windows 95? What I want is the option to boot up in Debian at my leisure without giving up Windows 95 as my family and me use it to do various work. But at the same time learn and get the feel of Debian. I know I should not trouble you but place this question in FAQs But I do not where to place it. Hope you will respond back to me.

Re: How to build Debian Linux cluster?
Hi, Ken! I post this message again, as there were some problems with listserver. First of all thanks for the reply! Well, welcome to the club. We made the decision about six months ago to replace our X-terms with Linux boxes. The `pilot' project was to build a small cluster of Debian Linux boxes that serve as terminals for a classroom and general use during the day, and as a compute engine at night and weekends. Excellent! If we can do that, it's what I want (at least now :) 2. Is it easy to clone debian systems? How should one maintain it? I did this the relatively hard way... one machine at a time. Even so, I got to where I could start with a machine in a box and have it a fully functional component in the cluster within 2 hours. I have since found out listening to this list that the dpkg utility helps to make this chore a lot simpler, if you learn to use the command line interface (silly me). Could you please give more details about that. Imagine I need to update some package (perl for example) on 6 nodes simultaneously, what do I do? I've seen several responses point you to Beowulf. Check it out. I have a look. It's much more than we want or capable of doing. You build supercomputer out of small computers connected with fast network, so that speed of calculation is proportional to the number of Linux boxes. They succeded in solving problems like fluid motion and multi-body gravitational calculations, and speed is indeed proportional to number of linux boxes, not quite linearly though. It would be probably too ambitious for us. Thanks, Sasha. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You build supercomputer out of small computers connected with fast network, so that speed of calculation is proportional to the number of Linux boxes. Almost proportional. What some people don't get (or don't want to) is the the speed of the network is a very limiting factor. If you want to build a Beowulf cluster on top of El Cheapo NE-2000 10 Mbps, it won't work. But doing the same using Good Ethernet 100 Mbps achieves quite a lot... I can dig my bookmarks if you are interested. The other limiting factor is homogeneousness sp. On top of a homogeneous MPI cluster, the thing performs quite well. On top of *extremely* heterogeneous PVM cluster performance suffers a LOT, unless of course you design the programs with this in mind, but that's an entirely different issue. Hands on experience beats any book or reference here.

It depends on the scale of problems you are after. 100**3 grids on fluid dynamics (quite small) take any available PC down to its knees. 50x50 lattices (which can prove useful for certain kind of research) can be handled reasonably fast on most modern PC's, being a little pattient.

Compile Problems
Hello Everyone,
Earlier some one had asked about compiling on Debian and I really
did think about the problem. But they mentioned that they kept having a
problem reporting your compiler is unable to make executables.
Then someone reported to check the config.log for the complete
errors. I have been having the same problem with everything I have tried
to complile. I had sent a message to the list and another list and found
out that the file I was missing, crt1.o was in the libc5 package. I
re-installed the gcc, libc5 package ( the base one) and the libc5-dbg
programs. But am still having the same problem.
Here's on of my config.log's and it shows the crt1.o is my
problem with compiling.
Config.log:
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
configure:541: checking whether make sets ${MAKE}
configure:571: checking for gcc
configure:648: checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works
configure:662: gcc -o conftestconftest.c 15
ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 658 configure
#include confdefs.h
main(){return(0);}
What package contains the crt1.o. I am at a loss trying to
figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
