Re: Samba trouble
The problem is most likely that your username in windows is not the same as the debian username you are entering the password for. Or, /usr is not a share. On systems where I use Samba, I always create the accounts with adduser and passwd. AND (this is important-if you want it to work that is) don't use mixed case in either the username or password. Windows can't deal with that. Make sure you are logged on to Windows 95 with the same account. Start/ Shutdown/Close all programs and logon as a different user, then logon to make absolutely certain.

Re: How to use a ramdisk?
How do I use ramdisks once they're created? Just copy my files to the disk and symlink to them from where they're expected to be? What do I do to ensure that the files are written to (real) disk on shutdown or at predefined intervals? Just like any other mounted filesystem. They are never written to disk. That's why they call them ram disks. If you want a disk that actually has physical media, why don't you use a real disk? If you're thinking to create a ram disk for performance, don't. Linux agressively uses memory as buffer cache already, so you won't get better performance this way. So there's no point in using ramdisks at all for non-boot tasks? I've read elsewhere that loading a compiler's include files, or frequently referenced documentation, or an emulators's file system, into a ramdisk would significantly improve performance. That's not true? Thanks, BTW, (to you and others) for the quick responses. --Eric House PS /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ramdisk.txt does not talk about using ramdisks in any context other than for creating boot floppies. I guess that's because they're pretty much useless otherwise?

serial terminal hangs at login prompt
Hello, I've tried connecting two different terminals to the serial port on my hamm box. One was an old pc with terminal emulator software, the other is a genuine Digital VT100. Both hang at the login prompt. I ran 'getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100' most recently for the VT100. I got the login prompt, but when I typed my username, there was no response on the screen. I have also setup /etc/inittab to run getty and do get the login prompt on the VT100 when the hamm box boots. When I did 'man getty' I got the man page for 'agetty'. It indicated that the '-L' switch should be used if the terminal hangs at the login prompt. I did 'find / -name agetty*' and no files were found. I looked up both getty and agetty in 'Linux in a Nutshell' and found that '-L' only works for agetty and not getty. I searched /stable/main/packages for 'agetty' and couldn't find it.

Re: Installing .deb pkgs on other Linuxes?
Hello, Does anyone know how I can go abt installing .deb pkgs on other Linuxes such as Redhat? Others have pointed out how to do via the convert to RPM route. If you don't want to do that, or can't, you can do: ar x xyzzy.deb Which will give you two tarballs, one with control information (which you would read and carry out manually) and t'other with the program itself.

Re: Understanding /root Re: My solution
Hello, I decided to partition my hard disk into: /boot 50MB /home 50MB (maybe more) /root 50MB /var150MB (maybe more) /usr700MB /etc50MB /swap 128MB /dos200MB /tmp50MB - Sum.1428MB - rest: 270MB for ??? Would this be a good idea? Any criticism welcome!!! Probably better to design it by starting out with everything in one big partition (/) and saying *why* you want things separate for each one. As others have pointed out, having many partitions wastes space, because you need to leave a bit to spare in each one separately. Perhaps more importantly, it'll end up making things *messy* rather than organized, because when you run out of space on one of them (and you will), you'll start putting things where they don't belong, soft-linking them all over the place. On my disk, the only thing I have separate is the swap partition. That said, here's the things you might reasonably want to make separate: Most likely: swap space - much more efficient /boot - if your disk is over 1023 cylinders and you boot with LILO Maybe: /tmp, /var, /home - try stop runaway processes (either 3 partitions or 1) /usr - to be mounted read-only Probably not: /etc - some of the files are needed during boot /bin, /sbin, /lib - programs needed for boot and minimal admin /root - too small to worry about You can, of course, divide it finer - eg have a partition for /var/spool to guard against mailbombs, but leave the rest of /var on the root partition. Usually, when you see a system with a bunch of mount points, it's because there's more than one disk. Using 4 2GB drives is better than one 8GB drive because: 1. if one drive goes down, you only lose the data on that one drive, not the other 3. 2. there are 4 I/O paths for data (i.e. you can read from more than one disk simultaneously) which reduces I/O wait times and speeds up the system. And a couple of others: 3. cheaper 4. you can do RAID if you like HTH Jiri [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Understanding /root, /usr, /var and so on
Hello, Please help me for the right understanding: I think you have it almost right... the /root contains only the kernel and the device drivers, Actually, that's just /. It's called the root directory, but it's not actually under /root. (/root is the administrator's working area.) the /home is the working area / space for the user (with space for store of their own data?), Yes. Each user gets a subdirectory of /home. the /usr is the main area comparable to WINDOWS PROGRAMMS, Yes. If memory serves, it can actually be on a read-only partition. /var for printer, mail, newsgroups. Yes - also for other sundry things that need to be written, including system logs in /var/log Let's see what other directories I have: /tmp - temporary files /bin, /sbin, /lib - (part of /) system programs (programs that need to be available even when /usr is missing) /boot - boot file /dev - (part of /) devices /etc - (part of /) configuration files /initrd - no idea - what is this? /mnt or /mount - some admins use one of these for all their mount points /proc - system information (not actually on disk) HTH Jiri [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Understanding /root, /usr, /var and so on
Hello, - the /usr is the main area comparable to WINDOWS PROGRAMMS, it contains programs, sometimes configs, docs etc etc ^^^ I thought /usr is not allowed to contain configs?

Re: Linux newbie needs help
Hello, Just successfully installed my first linux box with no problems. Now I want to install KDE. If you are using Debian, you need to install it the Debian Way... Most of KDE is in the contrib, X11, extra section. If you select it with dselect or apt, it'll automatically download whatever else you need (Qt library, JPEG library, etc). So you shouldn't need to worry about it. If you are doing it manually with dpkg, it'll tell you what's missing and you have to go get it yourself before it'll let you go on. In the KDE install guide, it says that I need the Qt library. The Qt library is in the qt1g package (non-free, libraries, optional). If you install via dselect or apt, you don't need to worry about it. I downloaded Qt, untar-ed it. When I type ./configure (like it says to do in INSTALL) it says: ... Uh, help. Where can I get a C-Compiler? It's called gcc, and Debian has it in the main, devel, standard section. However, you don't need it for installing packages from Debian, because they're all available pre-compiled. One more thing. Are there any free POP3 clients for Linux? Yes. In Unix the mail system is standardized, so you'll need several parts: a POP fetcher (such as fetchmail), a user program (such as mutt or elm or pine or whatever) and a program for general mail delivery, such as exim. All these are available within Debian. The setup is like this: outside world | ^ | | v | fetchmail / | / |/ v / mutt --- exim Terminology you'll see elsewhere: exim is a Mail Transport Agent (MTA) mutt is a Mail User Agent (MUA) HTH Jiri [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Dual Booting w/Lilo ?
Fist you need to boot up under linux, then using your favorite text editor (I like vi) open up your /etc/lilo.conf file. delete the line that says 'delay=some number' replace it with the word 'prompt' Then move to the end of the file, and add these lines: other=/dev/hdapartition number table=/dev/hda label=95 If you're not sure which partition your W95 and Linux partions are on, switch to another terminal (Alt-F2), logon, and type: fdisk Then at the prompt type the letter 'p' and enter. Your Windows95 partition will be your other primary partition (it must have the number 1, 2, 3, or 4. Anything above number 4 is a logical drive that is living in an extended partition.) Then you want to make the Linux partition bootable (which you can do either from Linux or Windows95) using fdisk. If you use Linux's fdisk, be sure that you only have one partition marked as being active.

Dual Booting w/Lilo ?
From: AJ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello, im a sort of *new* debian user (used it like 3 years on shells.. installed it like 3 weeks ago). anyway heres my question: Right now im booting from a linux bootdisk which a) takes a few minutes and b) is a pain in th ass... Now i know if i use lilo linux will boot only but i also have a windows95 partition that i need to use for some stuff like games and junk that i cant do in linux. Is it possible that when i turn on my computer i get a 'BOOT:' prompt and i can type either: 'win' for windows or 'linux' for linux using Lilo? if i can.. can someone give me an example of there lilo.conf file thanx (sorry if this sounds confusing i didnt know how to write it any other way), AJ - Sure...just ad the following two lines to your /etc/lilo.conf: other = /dev/hda1 label = windows then run /sbin/lilo to write to disk. This assumes that your windows partition is the first on your hard disk, with linux being the second and third (for swap and os) Now at the boot prompt (or at the lilo prompt hit left space to get the boot prompt) type linux or windows. If you forget what labels you have, then hit tab at the boot prompt. Do nothing (if lilo is configured not to prompt, with a timeout) and you get linux by default. You can of course make windows the default if you want by specifing windows as the first thing lilo tries to boot. See man pages for lilo.conf and lilo. _ DO YOU YAHOO!?

VM and mail folders
Hi list! I hope some kind soul can help me with this problem. I use fetchmail/procmail/VM for mailing system, and I have the following problem: When I start VM, the contents of my /var/spool/mail/daniel are moved to ~/INBOX, which is good, since it voids the problem of the mailbox being written to by procmail while I'm reading it. The problem is that this doesn't apply to my other mail folders. For example, I have this list in ~/mail/debian. In VM, to read the mail in that folder, I just open that file, but it's not copied to its own INBOX, which I would like. Can this be done with VM? If not, how does it work with other mail readers? Thanks in advance.

No, because that would be the wrong way. The right way to install a package from the source would be: dpkg-source -c packagename.dsc cd packagename debian/rules build su debian/rules binary cd .. dpkg -i packagename.deb Then yes, you will be able to uninstall it by using dpkg.

Lets see: The help(describe-key) for C-v says === C-v runs `scroll-up' `scroll-up' is an interactive built-in function (scroll-up optional N) Scroll text of current window upward ARG lines; or near full screen if no ARG. A near full screen is `next-screen-context-lines' less than a full screen. Negative ARG means scroll downward. When calling from a program, supply a number as argument or nil.

pcmcia card...
Hi everyone- i'm having some problems with pcmcia on a laptop here. i'm trying to get it to recognize a 3com 3c575bt cardbus ethernet card, and the stock pcmcia modules aren't cutting it. so, i'm installing hamm from scratch. then, i install new libc6 (v2.0.7u) so that i can install v3.0.6 pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules (modules corresponding to the 2.0.34 kernel). this actually works pretty well, and at this point, the card is usable with the kernel that comes in the kernel-image package. now i want to recompile the kernel for apm, ps/2 mouse, etc., so i: - install kernel-source (still version 2.0.34) - reconfigure kernel for apm, ps/2, and pcmcia - compile and install new kernel image. when i reboot with the newly compiled kernel, the 3c575_cb module doesn't want to load. the relevant errors are: pcmcia/3c575_cb.o: unresolved symbol netif_rx_R6a97aa56 pcmcia/3c575_cb.o: unresolved symbol unregister_netdev_R84fb480b pcmcia/3c575_cb.o: unresolved symbol init_etherdev_Rc8833d67 pcmcia/3c575_cb.o: unresolved symbol dev_kfree_skb_R61d50ea2 pcmcia/3c575_cb.o: unresolved symbol eth_type_trans_R81c3bb43 pcmcia/3c575_cb.o: unresolved symbol dev_alloc_skb_R36d7a14b are there kernel configuration options that i've missed in order to get these symbols defined? do i basically need to install pcmcia-source and recompile modules myself? thanks in advance... -alan
