Actualizacion por FTP
Amos a ver.. cada semana me actualizo Debian por ftp a lo ultimo que haya en hamm (ultimamente a lo ultimo que hay en hamm + slink) y lo hago usando el dselect. Lo que pasa es que el dselect me hace los gets del ftp archivo a archivo y como que mi conexion es lenta (ppp) tendria mucha mas eficiencia si algun administrador de paquetes soportase hacer varias conexiones simultaneas al servidor ftp (por ejemplo bajarse 4 ficheros a la vez) como hace un navegador web por ejemplo que habre varias conexiones simultaneas para bajarse una pagina (no se si me explico) Bien, mi pregunta es.. eso existe? Y mi repregunta es.. seria facil modificar el perl del dpkg-ftp para que en vez de usar el ftp usase por ejemplo el lftp y me permitiese hacer varias peticiones a la vez? -- _ _ __ _ __| |___(_) |__(_) |_ David Ernest [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2:343/[EMAIL PROTECTED] / _` / -_) | '_ \ | _| PGP: C0 03 33 31 46 96 E4 AB C2 8D BC 55 42 E3 9D FC \__,_\___|_|_.__/_|\__| IRC: nyogui -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Tiendo a pensar que no puede ser por algun motivo legal de esos, pero me gustaria qu ealguien me lo confirmase ;-) Te lo confirmo. Las condiciones de distribución del StarOffice prohiben ponerlo en cualquier otro servidor ftp que no sea el de StarDivision. Lo que sí podríamos hacer es un instalador, como el del SO3. De hecho hay gente trabajando en ello, pero será para la 2.1. (Pista: deep frozen mode) De todas maneras, no se yo... demasiado bonito es esto del Linux, y ademas, va muy bien, como para ser cierto. Lo que quiero decir es que me da miedo que algun dia no muy lejano, Linux comience a ser una artimaña comercial mas (por lo menos sera buen producto). De hecho, ya hay muchas cosas que son comerciales. Diantre!! , hasta distribuciones enteras son comerciales ya. Pero las partes fundamentales del sistema siguen siendo libres, y muchos nos dejamos los dedos en el teclado defendiendo que sea así. Creo que la mejor solución, aunque difícil, y lo digo a vuela`pluma, es hacer una especie de patente o derechos de autor con respecto a este proyecto científico, de tal manera que se obliga a no tratar como mercancía este producto. El problema es ¿quién se puede considerar autor?, creo que podría ser una asociación privada sin afan de lucro (una especie de fundación)en la que englobaría todos los proyectos de sus socios que no serían otros que los colaboradores de ella aún si estos lo hacen de forma esporádica. Esta fundación incluso puede recibir ayudas económicas que servirían para proteger esta propiedad intrelectual o incluso a innovar más todavía. Ya se que parece ciencia ficción pero hay una cosa que es ahora preocupante y es que Linux empieza a estar de moda actualmente (de hecho se edita una revista, han salido artículos en El Mundo y ABC etc. etc. etc.) y empieza a ser conocido incluso por los legos en informática. Puede ser un buen negocio empezar a hacer cosas y no dejarlas libres. ¿quién pone el cascabel al gato? ¿y cómo? porque jurídicamente es bastante difícil. Saludos. Es la primera vez que os escribo a todos y espero no haber sido un peñazo. Por no hablar de la proxima X11R6. Pero la próxima Xfree (que es lo que usamos la mayoría de los linuxeros) seguirá siendo tan libre como siempre. ¿Que va a ser de nosotros? ¿Podran las grandes compañias manejar el proposito gratuito del trabajo en conjunto de un monton de personas que tan solo pretenden contribuir al beneficio de todos? No se si es que hoy estoy pesimista o que, pero si os soy sincero, tengo miedo de ello :( Tranquilo. Manejar es una palabra muy fuerte. Podrán aprovecharse de nuestro esfuerzo, (en cierto modo ya lo hacen todas, ¿no?) pero lo van a tener difícil para dirigir el trabajo de una comunidad de voluntarios bastante anárquica.

Bash
Hola a todos. Hace un mes mas o menos, tuve un percance con bash, después de recompilar con egcc, y gracias a la lista, pude recuperar el sistema. Ayer recompilé bash, tuve la precaución de bajar también los paquetes .deb, y de dejar mas de una sesión iniciada. La compilación la hice con egcc. Instale libreadlineg2, abrí una sesión y correcto, a continuación instale libreadlineg2-dev, y salió con un error en un pre-rm , error de segmentación (lo siento no tome nota), desde ese momento, no me dejaba abrir nuevas sesiones, me admitía el usuario y el password, e inmediatamente me echaba a login. Cambiando a una de las sesiones abiertas, instale el paquete .deb, y se soluciono. Lo intente un par de veces, pero lo mismo. Entonces probé : dpkg --purge libreadlineg2-dev, después instale el paquete compilado por mi, y funciono. ¿A que puede ser debido esto?. ¿Puede ser egcc? Saludos. Angel Vicente Perez Dpto.

Dead_keys con Xfree 3.3.2

He comprobado con 'xev' que estan definidas como 'dead_acute' y 'dead_...' pero aun asi, en Netscape o Xelvis, el acento me sale sobre un espacio en blanco al lado de la letra en cuestion... ¿Hay alguna solucion para recuperar mis acentos?. En modo texto me funcionan perfectamente y tambien el las xterm... Buenno, gracias por vuestra ayuda y por favor, mandadme el mensaje a mi buzon ademas de a la lista porque no estoy subscrito...

Discos de instalacion hamm
Esto esta medio peliagudo: Había un juego de discos de instalación fechados (según el directorio) 1998-04-11, los cuales en un mirror que realize entre el 10 y el 12 de mayo funcionaban bien para instalar, y estaban apuntados como current en la estructura de directorios de disks-i386, pero ya existía un directorio llamado 1998-04-26, y los discos de instalación de ahí no me funcionaron. Bueno, ahora, recreando el mirror, me doy cuenta que 1998-04-11 ya no existe, y que 1998-04-26 es current, le doy que haga el mirror y no baja nada, de lo cual deduzco que son las mismas imagenes ... ¿como puede ser esto posible? ¿sabe alguien si las cambiaron? Ahora bien, el sitio al que entro a bajar archivos es: ftp2.linux.or.jp (si, desde México a Japón es rapidisimo), y si entro con ftp, el ls me marca que son de May 11 07:22, y cuando los bajo y los tengo en mi computadora, me marca que son de May 11 02:58, supongo que ambos servidores estan reportando la fecha como hora local (de Japón y de México respectivamente) ... así que son exactamente los mismos archivos. Bueno, ¿cual es el error que me marcan?

Hola (otra vez), tengo que acualizar Suck porque el que viene con Debian 1.3.1 no funciona ni a tiros, pero al entrar en la web de Debian y buscar en 'unstable' resulta que la versión que tienen disponible (3.9.0-1) requiere libc6. Si no me equivoco Debian 1.3.1 se instala con libc5, y también he oido por ahí que instalar las dos librerías puede dar problemas.

RE: NT and Linux
-Original Message- From: King Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 1998 8:29 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: NT and Linux Hello, I got into a discussion with a system administrator of a website. The system administrator wishes to use NT because it supports software raid 5 (raid without a special controller). I thought if it works, there would be a terrible performance degradation. The system administrator said only if a disk goes down would there be a performance hit. Does anyone here know anything about The questions I have are 1. Has anyone here had any experience or knowledge about software raid. How good is it? 2. Does Linux support hardware raid 5 I think this guy is looking for an excuse not to use Linux. King Lee 1. I'm currently got a bundle of Alpha-Servers running NT 4.0. All but one of them uses hardware raid 5 (Controlled by an HSZ40 in a DEC storage works cab.) It is DEFINATELY faster than the one which has NT controlled RAID 5. Hardware controlled software controlled sets are both same sizes on each server. This difference is phenomenal. Aside from mere disk access - you should see how much CPU time is used keeping the RAID set working on the software controlled one.. I'll never setup software RAID again. 2. If Linux can see SCSI disks (which it can) it's all just a matter of plugging your SCSI cable into a hardware RAID box (such as the Digital Storage Works cabinets). The hardware controller takes care of everything. Linux will just see it as one huge disk. You will however need to spend an extra half-an-hour setting up the controller (It'll be done through a dumb terminal - and it's dead easy).

Re: Stronghold Apache
There are AFAIK patches available to SSLeay to use RSAREF. There are also Apache-ssl Debian packages in non-us which can be IMPORTED to the US, but not EXPORTED again. There's also a rsaref package in non-us. So, get the source packages for all of these things, build a custom SSLeay with RSAREF linked in, build a custom apache-ssl, and call it good. Or if you don't CARE if your apache uses RSAREF since it uses SSLeay which functions the same with or without it, just grab the apache-ssl binary package. I won't tell RSA if you don't. = Okay, so I know about rsaref and I can't use it, not commercially at least. I really don't have any interest in breaking the law no matter how stupid the law is. so I've also heard of the covalent raven ssl module for apache. this option is much less expensive then stronghold (raven is ~$400 while stronghold is ~$1000) and comes as a module so I can still custom compile apache (which, believe it or not, is what I want to do. I like to know what went in to my binaries). so again, anyone using the above products on debian? any experience with this whatsoever? any advice is much appreciated. - John Kloss -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: after upgrading to hamm, ppp problems
Rich Hartman wrote: Hello everyone: After many trials and tribulations, I have finally upgraded to hamm... First, I installed Debian 1.3 from CD, then immediately wrote my ppp script required to login to my server - worked great. Immediately upgraded to latest stable version, THEN immediately upgraded to hamm using autoup.sh. All went well, except now when I try to use my ppp script, it doesn't work properly. I hear it dialing the modem AND connecting, but apparently the connection only lasts a couple of seconds (if I try to telnet, I get the error message hostname lookup failure). Keep in mind that nothing has changed (to my knowledge) in regards to the ppp script file (I also checked my resolv.conf file, while contains nameserver info, etc - it's still there and still has all info). One thing - perl, data-dumper and libnet-perl are not installed yet (for some reason, perl was not selected when I ran thru dselect) Could this be the reason? Thanks in advance, Rich (assuming you are using the Debian pon/poff scripts) First of all, a couple of things should have changed. Your chatscript, and options_out file will have moved. Look in /etc/chatscripts/ and /etc/ppp/ to see the changes. One thing that I had to change was to add 'noauth' to my options_out (now /etc/ppp/peer/provider). /usr/doc/ppp/README.* will explain this. IIRC, I may have had to fiddle with the file permissions of the new files (and new directories) to get everything working (if you run pon/poff as root this doesn't matter). -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Cut and Paste/ Xirc?
Hello everyone, I know this has been asked before, but just a quick browse of the archives, I wasn't able to find. Wished there was a grep button on the mailing list archves.:) Ok, here's my question. What are the keys or commands to use cut and paste in Xwindows? I know in WinBlows 95 it was CTL-X for cut, CTL-C for copy and CTL-V for paste. In normal terminal within Linux I know I can highlight the area with a mouse and it will put it in the buffer and hit the right mouse button to paste it. I tried this in xterm and rxvt but didn't work for me. I have a 2 button mouse configured to Emulate the Third Button with both buttons pushed, but couldn't get anything work with any of the button combos. I had just installed offix-clipboard and read the man on it and all it talks about is the other application's ways of cutting and pasting, but not how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, has anyone else been able to get Xirc to run in Xwindows? I haven't been able to run it at all. I keep getting an error message about the display or something. I know that isn't much help, but my machine is at home. I installed the Deb package and there were no problems or conflicts that showed up. All the dependencies were filled as far as I could tell.

Hamm upgrade
Thanks to the several folks who helped me with several post-upgrade problems. These were related to getting my old libc5-compiled versions of Applix and Netscape running. Although a libc6 version of Netscape is available, I wanted to not spend money for a newer Applix even if available at least at this time. The basic approach that worked was to attempt to start the application from a terminal window within kde. It might fail with a message such as can't load library 'whatever' I would then find the appropriate debian package via dpkg -S whatever then get that from the debian site and install it. After a few such iterations everything was happy. Thanks again, Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I know it is very slow, but is it possible? That is really very sick and twisted to even think of such a thing... hmm I wonder why I never thought of it :) QIC tapes (FTAPE) use the floppy disk controller and are formatted like floppy disks with 'tracks' and 'sectors' and so are block replaceable. This means that they CAN hold a random access file system just like disks, only SLOWER. Don't be too sure. Most tape drives only allow to write appending to the *end* of any data already written, so even if random positioning is possible the device is fairly useless. If you have to rewrite a block on the filesystem you would not be able to go back and rewrite over where it was before without losing any data after it. Does this mean it would not be possible to write a filesystem which would exist on a tape? No. It does mean that such a filesystem (especially on a low-capacity low-bandwith device like QIC over a floppy interface) would be nearly useless. I'm speaking here from experience because I have a home-grown backup solution where I wanted to be able to write a fixed length tape label onto the beginning of each tape and rewrite it each time I added another file onto the tape. I was very disappointed to learn that this was not possible. QIC tapes have from 20 to 80 parallel tracks on them, switching tracks is done by moving the head up and down (just like the old 8 track tapes). DEC made a QIC tape drive called DEC-TAPE II that interfaced with an rs-232 link. It was random access (just like the original dec-tape), each tape holding about as much as an old 8 SSSD floppy.
