Instalar desde disco duro....se puede?
Saludos usuarios de DEBIAN, aca les tengo una pregunta de principiante. De lo que habia leido me parecio sencillo instalar linux en mi maquina, lo cual fue cierto para el sistema base, el cual lo instale desde floppies, y despues desde mi disco duro que contiene win. Esto ocurrio muy bien sin problemas. Sin embargo, cuando quise instalar todo el software que viene con la distribucion, y lo cual tenia yo planeado que fuera por medio de mi disco que contiene el win (yo baje todo de un ftp, y esta esperando ahi que se utilize)...en el momento que le indicaba a DSELECT que instalara, me dice que dpkg-perl no es localizable y que sin eso no puede proceder... Ok, quiesiera saber varias cosases posible instalar debian de la manera que lo estoy haciendosi fuera posible, que sera que estoy dejando por fuera?..les agradeceria cualquier ayuda al respecto... __ Get your free web-based email at http://www.xoom.com Birthday?

Thanks for your help, we really appreciate it. Well, it may be possible, but this one won't be too easy. One thing I notice right away is that /dev/hda4 is an ext2 partition (type 83), not a swap partition (type 82) as is shown in your list. That's the only partition remaining in the MBR partition table. Putting aside that and other possible complications for nowsince (apparently) the bulk of Linux was inside an extended partition, the key to recovering those partitions (hda7 thru hda10) would be to find the first partition sector of the extended partition. Once that is found, the chain of logical partitions should be able to be rebuilt, as each one will point to the next one. Finding that sector may not be so easy though since the extended partition itself has been deleted from the MBR partition table. That entry in the partition table would have told us where the extended partition started. In fact, I don't even know how he deleted that partition with DOS fdisk since it normally is not capable of deleting an extended partition that still contains non-DOS logical drives - which it also can't delete. Question: Was that possibly a Linux extended partition (type 85) as opposed to a DOS extnded partition? That would explain why DOS fdisk could delete it. Question: Is there any guess as to what was on /dev/hda5 and /dev/hda6 which are not accounted for? I have used Norton's Disk Editor in the past to search for a sector when I have some knowledge of what's in that sector. For example, all partition sectors end with the signature 55 AA as the last two bytes. However, even the newest version of the Disk Editor (from NU4) is not able to search a disk past 1023 cylinders (8 GB), and your disk is 17 GB The best I can suggest right now is if you have a copy of Norton's Disk Editor around, post back and I can give you a rundown on how to search for that sector - understanding that it may not work because of the size of the disk. Failing that, maybe someone reading this list knows a way to attack this problem using Linux tools. There's always a way, but it may come down to how much time and effort you and your colleague are willing to devote to this. Good luck, Tom

Re: ftp not working
Miguel == Miguel Wooding SF Ten Union [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Miguel More fundamentally, why would I need to use passive mode? FTP uses two kinds of connections: a control connection, and a data connection. The control connection is made FROM the client TO the server, and it is the connection that commands and their results are passed through. Data connections are made when a file (or a directory listing) needs to be transferred. One end of the data connection is the active end, and the other end is the passive end. The active end makes the data connection, and the passive end listens for it. So, the connection is made FROM the active end TO the passive end. The passive (PASV) FTP command instructs the FTP server to enter passive mode, meaning that it (the FTP server) will be the passive end of future data connections. Which means that the data connections will be made FROM the client TO the server. Note that the default behavior for data connections, which is somewhat surprising, is that the data connection is made FROM the server TO the client! The reason you might need to use passive mode, of course, would be when a connection FROM the server TO the client at a client-specified port number would be impossible. This can occur when you are behind a firewall (that blocks incoming connections) when you are using IP masquerading/NAT when you are using a PPP emulator on a shell account when you are using a proxy server (?) Any of these can, in principle, be made clever enough to make passive mode unnecessary by detecting TCP connections to the standard FTP port and fiddling with the data stream. I think slirp could do this, but it's been a while since I used it; I haven't heard of anything else that does this. (Historical note: from skimming RFC 959 it looks like passive mode may have only been included in FTP to provide a means of transferring files between two FTP servers without directly involving the client.) -- I get my monkeys for nothing and my chimps for free. http://www.clark.net/pub/hermit/
Newbie Installation ?s
Hey all, I am trying to install Debian for the first time (first time installing any GNU/Linux OS) on an old crappy 486 laptop currently running DOS/Windows3.1 off 4 Megs of RAM (like I said, crappy), and I was wondering if there was a way to install Debian, and still keep it able to boot into DOS. Perhaps I could partition the drive in half and have one on each? If I did that, though, how would I be able to choose which one to boot from? Also, does anyone know if a Mac will recognize Debian formatted disks (if it has it's own format at all - hey, I said I was a newbie!) and files (assuming there are converters available out there..).

You certainly can. :) There is a howto- that explains many more things than I can possible remember, but the basic steps include a scandisk (or chkdsk) and then a defrag, and then using a utility such as fips or partition magic or partition manager (URL posted here in the last day or so..) to make your DOS partition smaller. The default boot loader, lilo, is smart enough to be able to boot both dos and linux. Or, you could use chos or grub (in development..) or linload. you might like linload more (or is it loadlin?

Re: ppp serial device problem: please advise
Michael Phillips wrote: I've been ransacking the FAQs and list archives, but cannot find any information on this problem specifically. I'm using kernel 2.0 from the CD, and I installed the system on my Windows box, using a 3.5 floppy to boot. That's most likely irrelevant, so I'll cut to the chase: I'm having PPP problems, and I think I have it narrowed down to the fact that my serial ports are screwed up. More specifically, that the system isn't recognizing my serial port which would be COM2 under DOS. I disabled COM2 in the BIOS of my Asus P2B-F motherboard so that Win98 would work with my Rockwell 56K modem; could this be the cause that the device is not recognized? I played around with setting up devices and using pppd manually with a daunting command-line string, but it's not working for me. The bottom line: I think the whole problem is because Linux isn't recognizing my modem at all, or the port on which it operates. How can I set that up so that it will recognize my modem as a valid port? I'm a newbie, so if the question is one which can be answered with the ever-concise RTFM, please point me in the direction of the FM which would be most beneficial to read. Any replies are greatly appreciated. Michael Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null I had a similar problem with a modem on COM4; but after jumping through all sorts of hoops, it turns out that the default configuration settings only configured the first 2 serial ports.

For COM2, I think the command would be: setserial /dev/cua1 (or setserial /dev/ttyS1 if you're not using cua's) If the serial port isn't configured, you can use setserial to manuall set the information. You'll need the uart, port and IRQ. If this works, you'll have to adjust your configuration files if you want the serial port to will be configured at boot up.

Re: undelete for partition tables?
Question: Was that possibly a Linux extended partition (type 85) as opposed to a DOS extnded partition? That would explain why DOS fdisk could delete it. Yes, originally this computer was set up by me with linux only. It was my colleague who starte messing with DOS fdisk. (Strictly speaking win98 fdisk) OK, but if it was a Linux type 85 extended partition, you would not be able to access any Windows partitions inside of it *from* Win98. It wouldn't recognize it as an extended partition. Also Win98 can't boot from an extended/logical drive. It had to be installed on a primary that has been deleted. In the future, I would recommend saving the output of either... 1) Linux fdisk == fdisk -l part.txt(this does all drives) 2) Ranish PM == part -d 1 -p -r part.txt (for each drive) ...to a file on a floppy disk, so that a record of the partition table(s) is always available. It makes a job like this a relative snap. It's too late in this case of course. Despite the (understandably) sketchy details here, I'll try to get you started with the disk editor. Please understand that finding that extended partition sector is just the beginning of the job. I wrote some web pages last year after helping someone else with a similar, but much easier, problem. The procedure for searching for a sector with the Norton Disk Editor is outlined on this particular page: http://www.concentric.net/~tompfr/pr_step3.html The only significant differences in your case would be the range of sectors to search and the search criteria. Since all partition sectors should end with a 55 AA as the last two bytes, the following can be used as the search criteria: specify hex values of 55 AA, located at an offset of 510 (decimal) in the sector. The range of sectors to search would be essentially the whole drive in your case. The Disk Editor can only search about half of your drive (the first 8 GB) Keep in mind that the partition sector you are looking for is not going to be the only sector that will end with 55 AA. The MBR sector (first sector on the drive), any FAT (16 or 32) boot record sector, and remnants of previous partition boot records and partition sectors may be found. When you find a sector that has 55 AA at the end, you can use Diskedit to view it as a partition table by hitting F6. What you are looking for is a partition table sector with two entries, looking something like this in the Disk Editor's partition table view: http://www.concentric.net/~tompfr/nuembr.txt Instead of me trying to cover every possible detail now (which is impossible anyway), I suggest you try following my procedure and try to account for the differences in your situation as you do it. If you have specific questions or problems, feel free to ask. If you really want to do this, you are going to have to get into this up to your eyeballs anyway - I can only try to get you started. There very likely is a better way to do this with Linux - I just don't know it. There are professional data recovery firms that could also handle this, but you are definitely talking about $$$ there. Good luck, Tom

I have used Norton's Disk Editor in the past to search for a sector when I have some knowledge of what's in that sector. For example, all partition sectors end with the signature 55 AA as the last two bytes. However, even the newest version of the Disk Editor (from NU4) is not able to search a disk past 1023 cylinders (8 GB), and your disk is 17 GB The best I can suggest right now is if you have a copy of Norton's Disk Editor around, post back and I can give you a rundown on how to search for that sector - understanding that it may not work because of the size of the disk.

dselect using smbmounted archive
Hello, I've been trying to get dselect and/or apt to work with an official slink CD rom which is smbmounted to /mnt. Unfortunately, the symlinks on the CD rom are not followed by the windows server, so a straightforward copy of the distribution is not available (looks for ...dists/stable... which is actually a link to ...dists/slink...(?)) I've tried to use the access choice mounted with partial success; the package listing was updated with the following messages: Using '/mnt/dists/slink/main/binary-i386' as main binary dir Using '/mnt/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz' for main After selecting packages, I chose install which failed (too many errors). Here is one of the many (identical except for .deb name) error messages: subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 dpkg-deb: unexpected end of file in version number in /mnt/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/admin/stow_1.3.2-11.deb dpkg: error processing /mnt/dists/slink/main/binary-i386/admin/stow_1.3.2-11.deb (--install): subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2 Skipping deselected package sudo. Why is dselect able to find Packages.gz, but not the .debs? Is this some error inputting the archive location, or another problem?

Hmmm, yes they are both PCI - swapping the card order made no difference - the same card gets recognised first, and the second one ignored. Does this indicate a hardware problem? Just curious, why are you using the different drivers for the two cards? Can't they both use the same one? Yes, I now think (from the manufacturer's website) that they can both use the tulip driver, but it seems to just ignore the second one (presumably because they share I/O address). Using the other Dec driver, with which it seems compatible too, was what actually threw up an error message, making me think that was the true driver. Neil.
