Hola. En el trabajo el sistema operativo oficial es HPUX.

El Messanger no parece comunicarse para nada con el pop o el smtp de mi maquina local, sino que hace una coneccion remota con la maquina de mi ISP. Tengo debian instalado en mi notebook y la pregunta es, ¿es necesario instalar sendmail o equivalentes cuando puedo usar Messanger para bajar mi mail directamente desde mi ISP y mi trabajo?; en realidad la pregunta es ¿ necesita Messanger que este sendmail o equivalente instalado en mi notebook?.

Hacer un 'pipe' en Mutt
Hola, estoy utilizando Mutt (0.88) para el correo y recibo algunos mensajes bastante largos, de los cuales solo parte me gustaría conservar. Por eso había pensado utilizar el 'pipe' (haciendo |) para enviarle el mensaje al editor y modificarlo (recortarlo), y que al salir regresara al lector con el mensaje modificado. Pero al enviárselo al 'joe' (supongo que no es problema del editor concreto), o bien empieza a 'cargar' líneas de forma insaciable y hay que pararlo con un 'kill' (je, si me hubiera pasado en W$95...), o bien lo carga correctamente y me devuelve automáticamente al lector de correo. Me preguntaba si alguien puede hacer esto y como lo hace. Pues eso, un saludo.

Re: newsgroup, instead of mail list?
Of course newsgroups are fine provided you have access to a good news feed. The one I have access to is rather unreliable. It seems that many messages simply don't get through, and there are often periods when news groups have no messages at all in them for a day or two. (Not that I have tried using it for a while.)

Re: Debian from the Stampede's POV
On Sat, 23 May 1998, Steve Lamb wrote: the same thing (while internally it does use .tgz and ar etc... I never said it was. I was pointing out that SLP could be. i doubt it. tar doesn't need crap tacked onto the end of it. The fact is that .tgz is great for archives (and backups... I use tar with my tape drive) but I (and many debian users) feel that dpkg makes a good packaging systemn and makes system adminitration allot easier (rpm does too, even tho most people here don't like to admit it :) ) Never said it wasn't. But what people who look at SLP and the fact that it is just a TGZ with information at the end are looking at is not just this system or that system it is all systems as a whole. IMO people who look at SLP and see that, just don't get the big picture. there is a lot more to a distribution than just compiling some binaries. RPMs are nice, but outside Red Hat they're not fun. DEB, same thing. Unless you have the package manager that comes along with it, they never really get used. wrong. they can be used by anyone with a brain who is willing to learn a simple command or two. ar and tar are on every unix so deb packages are no problem. rpm2cpio is easily compiled on any unix, and cpio is standard so rpms aren't much trouble either. this still doesn't get you anything which is worthwhile - in most cases it is too dangerous to install a redhat package on a debian system or debian package on stamped or slackware or slackware onto debian. as i said, there's a lot more to a distribution than just compiling some binaries. SLP, without the package manager, *CAN* be used by anyone who is used to tar. so what? like, big deal. in other words, who cares? what use is that? debian users are going to use dpkg because they don't want cruft from a .tar.gz or .slp screwing up their package-managed system. redhat users are going to use rpm because they don't want cruft from a .tar.gz or .slp screwing up their package-managed system. ditto for caldera and suse users. slackware users don't matter. in my experience, slackware users are either clueless newbies who will have trouble even with tar, or they are rabid do-it-yourselfers who wouldn't install someone else's pre-compiled binary even if they were paid to do it. stampede users matter even less - slp is their native package format, so the issue of foreign packages doesn't even arise. so, given all that, what *use* is this much touted ability to easily install on another system? what good does it actually do? btw, it is trivial to install a deb package on a non-debian systemit is a stupid thing to want to do (because .deb packages are designed for debian systems and may conflict with or overwrite curcial parts of your non-debian system...same as .rpm and .tar.gz and .slp packages are designed for their respective distributions). anyway, it's a stupid thing to want to do but it is easyas simple as: cd / ar x PACKAGE.deb data.tar.gz tar xfz data.tar.gz note the similarity in the command line arguments for ar and tar. from your other messages it seems as if you believe that 'ar' is some sort of weird, non-standard archiving format. it's not. it's been around for years. in fact, it was around long before tar. tar was based on ar, as a tape backup utility. ar == archive. tar == tape archive. in other words, any unix system will have ar on it. Even if we all just used .tgz archives and SLP, this makes the question of it moot because yes, you don't need the extra stuff you can just unpack it, but if you don't use SLP, then unpack it with .tar.gz...it is still possible that what you unpack will not intergrate well with your system Correct. But, again, my scope is beyond any one system. i think you haven't spent much (if any) time at all, thinking about the issues involved in managing multiple systems. It isn't the fact that they are available but the fact that most people are unaware of their use. You know, I've been using Linux for over two years and until this discussion I've never heard of ar? Until a discussion I had on the newsgroups about RPM a while back I was unaware of cpio. The while time I have used tgz. if you don't even know about these programs, then what makes you qualified to comment on then? having opinions is finebut please try to make them *INFORMED* opinions before spreading them around to others.

Re: System.map
Just a thought - when I compile and installed my own kernel, I used the zImage kernel. I played with make-kpkg, and this wants to put the files vmlinuz vmlinux in /boot. Would using zImage instead of vmlinux cause problems? How do I produce vmlinux from the kernel source? BTW, I can't see any install options in the kernel makefile. I just followed the instructions in the readme, which were to: make config make clean; make dep make zImage make modules make modules-install cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot modify lilo to include /boot/zImage The README doesn't mention anything about System.map :( Thanks for any information, Chris On Sun, 24 May 1998, Bill Mitchell wrote: Off the top of my head --- That file gives the memory addresses of symbolic variables used in the kernel. The memory contents of the kernel data in these variables can then be found by looking at the appropriate offset in /dev/kmem. It's messy, but it's effective. The lsof program needs to peek at internal kernel data in this way to find the info on what files are open. I believe that the System.map file gets put in place properly if you use the kernel makefile to install the kernel you've built. I don't have a machine with a kernel source tree handy to check how to do that, but it should not be too hard to figure out by looking at the docs in the source tree or reading the makefiles. Perhaps it's as simple as typing make install, or make Zinstall, or somesuch. Also, there is a debian package named kernel-package which provides a means to build .deb format binary kernel packages for you from the source tree you have installed. You can then use dpkg to install the kernel, and put the System.map file in place that way. I participated in a debian-devel discussion about the internals of this six or eight months ago, and that discussion produced plans to enhance the kernel-package package so as to support installing multiple alternative kernels of the same kernel version (something it could not handle at that time). I am just getting back into debian after a long absence from the project, and I'm not sure of the current status of kernel-package (or, for that matter, of quite a few other things). Hope that helps.

I had to figure that out about 3 weeks ago.. I would really suggest not using .deb kernels. The reason they have FAT32 support is because they are just the standard default bins. They are not configured to run on your system. They therefore are not very high performance. They usually take up way too much memory because they include all kinds of things you probably dont even have. It is always good to compile your own kernels. Try it, you'll find it makes a HUGE difference. Brian What I really meant was to use the .deb kernel sources... But thats my fault.. I didnt make that clear.
