Cuidado! tar conserva todo el path de los ficheros no els lo mismo tar ... pepe que tar ... /pepe. En el primero al descomprimir te crea el directorio pepe en el directorio actual, en el segundo caso te lo crea en /. De todas maneras me parece que eso esta solucionado en la version actual del tar que por defecto elimina el / inicial caso de existir. De todas maneras ves que no es lo mismo. Prueba con el parametro -C para eso. Por cierto me parece que en la nueva version de mv ja detecta cuando el destino esta en un fs diferente y actua en consecuencia con lo que para mover directorios se puede usar mv sin problemas.

En versión estudiante cuesta 13.000 pesetas, la versión completa + módulo (no recuerdo si era el de ingenieria o de diseño mecánico).

Resultados prueba Athlon K7 500/600
Hola a todos: Despues de mas una semana de prueba y de algun que otro dolor de cabeza las conclusiones son las siguientes: 1 - El redimiento con nuestros programas numéricos ha llegado a alcancar un 30% de incremento con respecto al P III 500 (55% si en vez de K7 500 se utiliza el K7 600 que es el que tenemos ahora) y en los casos mas desfavorables (los menos), van a la par. He leido (http://www.TomsHardware.com) que el P III 600 tiene problemas de calentamiento debido a que funciona con una tension de 2.01 mientras que el K7 600 va a 1.6. ¿Alguien tiene algún otro dato? 2 - La placa base ASUS K7M/500 funciona sin ningun problema. Tuve la mala suerte de que la que traía inicialmente el PC, tenia problemas (ya la he cambiado) lo que originaba errores de hardware al compilar y un funcionamiento inestable, que también puede ser debido a memoria defectuosa (el famoso: gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11; gracias a la lista me pude centrar en que se trataba de un problema de hardware y no otro tipo de problema intrínseco al procesador Athlon). Esta placa defectuosa fue el causante de los problemas con el diso FUJITSU: me formateaba una particion de 8Gb con errores al final del proceso al hacer chequeo de bad blocks como siempre. 3 - Un inconveniente con esta placa es que al instalar debian con el kernel de los diskets de instalacion (2.0.35-36), no informa correctamente de los parámetros del disco (los kernel 2.2.* no tienen problema con esta placa). Esto está perfectamente comentado en la última version del mini-HOWTO Large-Disk en el apartado 11.1 (Bios complications). Para enterarse de que va esto de la geometria de los discos y los problemas relacionados con ella, es una guia EXCELENTE (recomiendo tambien mirar www.pcguide.com). De todos modos, esta cuestión está lejos de ser trivial y es una maraña de mucho cuidado que requiere mas de una lectura cuidadosa. 4 - El Athlon funciona como una seda con Debian 2.1 y nosotros en nuestro trabajo diario (workstation de desarrallo de software), no hemos encontrado ningún problema. Hoy mismo haremos un pedido de 15 unidades mas para montar un Cluster Beowulf. Os mantendré informados.

FTP de Linux Cutre?
Hola Probando a bajarme cosas con ftp veo con desilusión que el cliente ftp de linux no me dice ni cuanto llevo bajado, ni si realmente el archivo se baja a una velocidad o a otra. Lo que yo me pregunto es, esto es porque el cliente ftp de linux es cutre o porque hay que habilitar alguna opción para que te muestre a tiempo real como por ejemplo el cliente ftp de os/2 que dice Recibidos bytes a tiempo real, haciendote saber así los bytes has recibido y si vienen rápido o lento, y lo mismo enviando. Un saludo Daniel PD: Como anécdota añado que el cliente de os/2 también es una cutrez, ni siquiera tiene reget, pero al menos ves lo que te bajas y sobre todo, si se baja.

Lo mismo pregunto del programa MATHCAD. Espero que existan porque seria mi mudanza definitiva del WINDOWS. Mathcad no lo conozco pero para sustituir a AutoCAD tienes Qcad :) http://www.qcad.org QCad is a very powerful and easy to use CAD program for Linux. QCad uses DXF as its standard file format. You can load, merge and save DXF files. Furthermore it offers support for the HPGL format. While other CAD packages get complicated to use and unclear, QCad stays comfortable and even an absolute begginner can create professional drawings with a minimum of effort. -- Un Saludo.. ;-) [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.bigfoot.com/~guti | Fido: 2:346/201.9 ...

Buenas a todos y todas. Ayer hine una actualización (ya era horita) de Hamm a Slink y como era de esperar no tuve problemas con casi nada...Debian es así :-) El único problema lo tengo con sendmail que al pasar de la versión de Hamm a Slink parece que varía el tema de la base que utiliza y aconseja recontruir los ficheros de configuración. Si los vuelvo a hacer, no puedo mandar correo a gente con mi mismo dominio del servidor de correo (ctv.es, tengo conexión a Inet por ppp) pues parece que no me enmascar como debe el dominio local y CTV me dice lógicamente que no acepta procesarlo. Si utilizo los ficheros de configuración de la versión de sendmail de hamm, variando alguna cosita, me rebota los mensajes CTV con la misma historia :-( ¿Qué tengo que decirle al tipo este (sendmail) para que me entienda? :) Adjunto los ficheros de configuración de hamm y slink por si alguien tiene la suficiente paciencia y bondad como para echarme un cable 0:-) Muchas gracias y ¡viva apt! :) -- Javier Viñuales Gutiérrez [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webs: http://www.ctv.es/USERS/viguPersonal http://www.ctv.es/USERS/vigu/linux/ ViguLinux PGP public key: http://www.ctv.es/USERS/vigu/vigu.pubkey BZh91AYSYX* BD§ÿ}òÀÿÿÿ Ð ¢8àNý÷ÉN [EMAIL PROTECTED]@VÒÐPÓRr@ [EMAIL PROTECTED])TèÒ¤Ø{»³ jÑFYkiݽ´åTÉeFØU eH½Úì4( ¥(([EMAIL PROTECTED]@A@ h P)J [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ `2h1Ôi[EMAIL PROTECTED]@2 0 L Á0L`! # ¨ª4Ðii¦ ÐÑ£@ h A 0 i1õ)µÅ0ÑO)FF='©¦A ¦Ð¢ ÄÓHô5=õ5=1 '©zÔ 1 CB{ ébâdYVµ¯ðÛâoE`[A´t©JÚ¾ábܽ-ÞO çBÀ¨ì %È? ¹vÆ q4nüô*wNíûÒ[G'PÐt«´Jà qC°§£ë9¬¼ü¦àÕ;L=ÇÅÂn50éU%ùpQôM á%zãÂîÃùtW·m0ØËiRRR§ X,«Ü²\0YæÒVi1âájþ{Wɪ½üqÙGùKªµ3ÅM¾rÊiTÆíó¢aëy¶ptaýò\S *+ ÕNæ50¶ÿS/¦80j¥¶[I±EE Ubñ hg\³*èSkJ¥l¬µdÃ9¬U«¦X³âujh·\·uzmªÚ%y4'zj «b¦ibkÁ¤Âµa¬ÙcJæ§e'ܹFb I[EMAIL PROTECTED]:ÝËVöb¬Y%QL*böFURRfÈ«[EMAIL PROTECTED]:X5ÅXXâT©Ñc*×û°ÐmZkB0¨ZUFZ0|/õ¸«ýoIÙÇHGK6lQñèç¨ØäµÑJÝâþóSZt´À¸³o¦9²Ç ¦ð¨ñDXlÙ'æ×B ÔçtzRwsº ÿ%#I××r©ÃËÊêaÌûLrêÞÇVÖkáudý÷ìY,}OsøÞNæå3{ò:\Q);%]¿qæxp×ìºq»±ìku¾;g7ßÈS»\µ¼Ïz;¶:}{SȯÀÓä}2«ïLþQçyÒ®Î+øÝ~çÞ]ùs¿¡µ¯)õ¼ï3ô3{±GÆü©þT©/O ÕzSÙE%}˲µ||ÌÞä]MïÌÞÎÞË[¹*GÂýOáû¯ô(Á5S§s®¿ÝÜÒþ,iÍ1'õÌh£ìQCßcÇyÑ=n§¡ð»ûéCÆÍÅVÆ¥xE_«îS ³*~^N7Ò¾Êcôl}ä×CÜ¿ÞÇ®Tá1±0©;í9½Ë|éXu\ ¹áÕÅÁä$ hB¹¸/ÜÖk a ]p}±»ï~#ý-ßdM'[EMAIL PROTECTED]:æ¾ï¡Õï0ÕsmÆXeL2Âס¦Z¸«³ Õ®ÂñOà6)³'4Ê`LW¾uÏÅôtôk|xêÊþ9WW!mË%ÍI¢üªüoà|L92âѽmOÜà à³[Pµ¾*ënUOSk1U`¢W]ë¦:ZÒq³ªjë}öÖÖÃ-Óù6:*§1ÒþýFª¬»uu8%Ö£SüK,c½ÅÖÝ[©{$¶*ÖÃÖ£è1dKÚénbÔbÜìªu*kC[Êì\Y:tNFNÙ[ckD«Ó¹Î÷anÖq-®|5·,àÅvõÙ´t¨ü,fñZ9Âܵ;´[+öÜv²¿?=îÆvïuè³¢9ç6\¥8ë´verÂ{{Q[ÆtãÉKFîJnÕy»'Òõ=ªÊpôxÔ毡£/R¹¸ÿ?sQÿàÿèÿi£D¡L½Ñ ¨{grþ8Æ?ÌD(/Pù©ÚCñØ©_ ó*|ÛÂqHmbv :ä§w|yxQ:7*Ò¡ª¦I92ì9E2Ôr±jƤc¤IÝTà *Y0U R«ôwsê~Èë{©tÆ),¬]XìK0-êþèñ{_¥Ó¾²ï~cæÂKï6.ÂÔtF)¤F®CéVUó®lC¤Ñ#*8* -JÃL0-HZ¼PX ÐÄýT9Vì0Ù«Ue,« õLÆ+WlÑIUÆ̸ßÜÕìÇB¦M©£%Z²jÃìS9Tåc+4Ñ¢« Iª°Ã®:MS ó~Æíj aï7hTÑ q0÷ÓmlNR°31eò±È]¿l/V îxýNì_n´rå7òð8ª ײ¹jí®×SVUà±»*¬QZ12Ñ+pedS.ödËrËJÁQÕÅZ:êÇ\6+*¯f#2ÝX gÌL%eß|Z]ÖxsjÍ4VÕ3¾å³.í:¶UJ1V¥Yî°Ý)ÓEW¼nh²ad³lHÊ4ÔªVá815ÌƳRö¹¼ÎÂ|Eôß}£Tü? »9ì´ÐÕö´+îØô2eÖCÉOCáÄõÊ÷§¥faHÅH¸1`)-K/ ;ÁòcC?CÍ«y#.Õ¾.i¦8º'ùð½/cäÒ+êhñsnÙüÏÊÑâòuxc» â¬YµE¸9ÝÎN/ÉÁýáîô|4îÛ6´«+Lø+kÖ°§¯îþç¨Óð%ê#ò»Þ?LÜÃY4hÊÌ+ûl´dÑ«¿¯f¡Û{ÃwªôÄ4YES[v¸.»Uõxn§c¹å}¤ãÍZÝ »Üüë;_}Ùnw:µð»b|êl¹÷Þ®oYWU!kçôëÉvïÒR= Gò¨ýÅgìl§µZ7i»Füaºp4}yh©¿]Þ}GßÓäwâ«Íyúáêù5Ò¦:¦k¢y¾]ÅkSÁ^¾ß«|bÁÂñÉ´æyk2Ls_´pî{,ö0ªÕMiF+ã~M£g¥´¨÷ã¸4Wkð|¡ÁSAP)ÌdRÑCD(0\Þ-FåÏNÁ}³1ìh)0#}âo滦#TE²ÍéÅÚl IiíY _ÆNép0äö=ýZµ«\dRá,¦æ¨ÂTûÔÂó·¼Ã²Sñ÷1¼¸±åÕø´ÛfJZ}Å8ý +¯{RûÒÇÕcÒÝ2ú2²ѯÁ»Æ1÷jw½UÀäö0ºº¶_1qpÃãɲÍ6`òû½¸Íñ WLäÉ3Ë-NʽwÕUÞõqZT.Õ¶¦r ~Gs¦«øß[V{ÍêÝñ0W 骵V5jík1MXãLÔª¥tVÖs?ÌòxG¯écÁäÌàË*ˬÈìjÄÙfMZ2¦´yMmû[.17âRöðVlÓEV{ÉÛ=ÔÎMc)Éî3Ê¢ªR6F$©ø±½PsqÓ0µêCûMæ¨q{ø´/_óÿ7Ñõßßü)íö)½Êsq%jƬú¦ËÛÛõ|omÓ3g¹«ZQDL6=¦nOÅîHôeB=¬à¤åF£Þ¡±tG}9#µ-Qܧ+$Æô«,OÙnoªrß¹.GEïµ[þ tùÞ¬¥ò§[Ð÷VÝe¢aõ9¾gF÷cË4FóÑ_dC~«°¦s´Ôqw¾§ür³,³Fn¤é¢9¸îKÇJ0z-Sd¦ÔÝÑgzøø9Y¾`ö}ÛA]édåàòRSÂßÃå D»uéÆHÅe¶Ì,öåÉD|¯z[S¥ñ=ß;ÓÇC·ã¬x]JJë*ïõ{3]ÔSéó^Ú¡éj·Ï_B±²Ëµ¹å²¾ötw:Êý¼®jïa«Á¼Ñò%f7»XFRÛâw·ËqåïN§ì4pnsF¶/¹*°b¼v)WèUÆÌ%èÁµïcu¡E?T´r`¼Ñ-®Z³£%qûj}ݵ÷µ9¬²²ü,ÛYu¶1нxñdààÕ£|{;5TàÞ¿qÑå8©iùKcà8%©¹Dxû ÝáÀ«[êy¶ÛeÆ]~þ#'rVs9¬äKÎâúãªæPÚÍ^^ÈÞ ñ{#ó:Q2QW+s½1GV ¹-Wþ³^ÉLz-£«VÇBì5obæKÀδµ(¤0´(êØÁ¢û+©13maÌÚ¦`Ô²[vÕýNÓƶ¾È¿S½».wc¾MLÓ«½]\SC 0²°QEÖ`Ó¹vyRÍ'2Ëhùëµ5mUV%JðoÍ'6`¿ºñ0ÎÜ .ÊÅ¢:èåSuv¥V

Re: win de esclavo
Tal día como Wed, Dec 01, 1999 at 12:48:49AM +0100, 31 nos decía: la historia es, que tengo el linux instalado en el disco duro maestro y quiero instalar el windows en el esclavo, pero al meter el cd de windows y comenzar la instalación me dice que se instalará en el primer disco... Tienes dos opciones: 1. Haces una pequeña partición en el primario (un par de megas serán suficientes) para que winchoff instale sus ficheros de arranque y, cuando te pida donde instalar /windows le dices que en d (partición formateada vfat en el disco esclavo). De esta forma, güin no se queja, instala sus cuatro ficheros de arranque en C (partición /dev/hdaX de dos megas) y el resto (todo su tochazo) lo tendrás en D (partición tocho_que_quieras en /dev/hdbX). 2. Engañando a güindos. Deshabilitas el disco primario en la BIOS (o en su defecto pinchas el secundario como maestro) e instalas el ventanucos tal cual. Una vez instalado, vuelves a habilitar el primario (es decir, a dejarlo todo como antes de la instalación) y tendrás TODO el windows en el disco secundario (/dev/hdb). En este segundo caso, para arrancar el win mediante lilo tienes que añadir unas líneas al lilo.conf tal como: other = /dev/hdb1 map-drive = 0x80 to = 0x81 map-drive = 0x81 to = 0x80 (siempre que lo hayas instalado en la primera partición del secundario; en caso negativo, cambias /hdb1 por la que corresponda). Ejecutas lilo y listo. Salud. -- carlos saldaña emilios: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Por un uso selectivo de la red Computers can never replace human stupidity
Bricomania (2 monitores, 2 teclados, 1 ordenador debian)
Hola!! Tengo una remesa de esos monitores enanos del telepizza que son una monada, son vga y sosportan 640x480 aunque son monocromo. La cosa es que he pensado que podria enchufarselos al ordenador como terminales, pero notengo torre de ordenador ni siquiera 8086 por lo que me preguntaba si es posible enchufarselo directamente, es decir, ponerle una tarjeta vga, enchufar el monitor, ponerle un teclado (eso no se como) y configurarlo todo aunque sea para ponel el bitchx No se porque tendria qu edar problemas, creo que las vgas harian conflicto pero si el win98 lo soluciona no veo porque linux no... el mayor pero que le veo es el tema del teclado, a alguien se le ocurre algo? Lo mas factible se que seria hacerse con un ordenador 8086 sin disco duro y ponerlo en serie pero es mas la curiosidad que me puede :-)) Saludos, JP

Si utiliza X sera una capa encima del API basico de BeOS. Si te fijas el sistema grafico de BeOS es mucho mas avanzado que X desde el punto de vista de sistema personal. Se pueden tener varios espacios de trabajo cada uno con unas caracteristicas diferentes (resolucion, numero de colores, etc.) y cambiar de uno a otro de forma automatica. Incluso se pueden canviar estos parametros al vuelo, reconfigurandose todas las aplicaciones que estan corriendo en ese momento. Eso X-Window no puede hacer, es mucho mas estatico. Por contra BeOS no admite un sistema distribuido. De todas formas BeOS es un gran sistema operativo a nivel usuario personal.

Snafu
I'm somewhere in the process of installing slink. There was an interruption during installation, I rebooted, etc. I guess I could wipe out the disk and start over, but I'd kind of like to understand where I am and why. The system boots and reboots OK. I've been playing around with bash commands. Not all of the ones I read about on Web pages seem to be working. Now I want to run dbootstrap to configure my base system. But when I type dbootstrap at the $ prompt, I get "command not found." I go to the root (or whatever you call /) and type "find dbootstrap," but that just gives me "no such file or directory." Anybody know where I am and where I should be going? Or is it time to use a blunt instrument on this installation?

How do I upgrade to the new software RAID?
Hi I am running Debian 2.1 with Linux 2.2.12 and the old software RAID in personality 5. I've been told I should upgrade to the new RAID to take advantage of autodetect and persistant superblock, etc, especially since the root parition is a md. What is the best procedure to upgrade? I am prepared to compile any kernel (even 2.0.x is it is best), and apply any patches. Do I need to compile raidtools2 against libc2.0, or should I get libc2.1 and just install the raidtools2 deb?

Also, on my system modprobe is a link to insmod (however, it seems to check how it was called and behaves differently. For instance, modprobe sound just executes and exits, while insmod sound complains that sound.o is already loaded). If you have the proper dependencies set-up and alias sound sb, then probably modprobing sound should load all of those modules (not sure -- don't have soundblaster). -- ++ | Eric G.

Or is it time to use a blunt instrument on this installation? I've been running debian for months, and never heard of the dbootstrap program. Perhaps others can elaborate, as it may be a transient (and temporary) file only used during the install. I checked MY system, with the command listed below, and it does not exist anywhere on my system. find / -name dbootstrap -print As far as commands in general, depending on what command you are trying to execute, it may or may not exist in the base system provided by a linux distribution. In the case of Debian, it is a simple matter to install the correct package that supplies the command. If you post some of the commands you are trying, more information can be provided. If you are executing standard commands, and they are failing, I would suggest a re-install, which in my opinion is what I would do anyway. Again, I'm not familiar with the details of the interruption of the install you mentioned. In any case, I would reccomend posting more detail about your situation.

badblocks, e2fsck, and disk error
Hello. I started getting a disk error on my Maxtor 17.2 GB disk tonight. It's been running fine for over 2 months, and my current uptime is 63 days with no apparent disk problems. Here's how I have my disk partitioned: Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hda215885614 2988782 12069945 20% / /dev/hda1 146076293 7560 45% /boot /dev/hda3 208349 14751750072 75% /usr/local/squid/cache I was actually playing an MP3 when it (the mp3) stopped, at which point this appeared in my syslog: Dec 1 01:50:01 kernel: hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error } Dec 1 01:50:01 kernel: hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=32357292, sector=32327053 Dec 1 01:50:01 kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 03:02 (hda), sector 32327053 Those lines appeared 3 times, as though it was re-trying (and continuing to fail to read) the file. Anyway, I went to single-user mode, unmounted all the disks, and re-mounted the root partition as read-only. Then I ran e2fsck -c /dev/hda2, which -- while scanning for bad blocks -- produced an error corresponding to what you see in the syslog excerpt above. It re-scanned the disk with a Dupe/bad block pass and found blocks that appeared to be duplicates. It said the inode # for the mp3 was shared with inode #1, the bad blocks inode. I'm not sure what this means; does that indicate that the bad blocks list is stored in inode #1? At any rate, it asked me if I wanted to clone the blocks. I wasn't sure what to answer, and the default was Yes, so I chose yes. After a few seconds, I got the same error as before, and I was asked if I wanted to ignore the error. The default was Yes, but this time I chose No. It then did a few more things (which I can't remember, and couldn't copy/paste since gpm wasn't running) and wrote a few more lines of output. When all this was done, I re-mounted all my disks. I then tried to play that mp3 again, and unfortunately, I'm right back where I started. :-\ At which point did I make the wrong choice? Is inode #1 where the bad blocks list is stored? Any theories on how an inode can become shared between two different files? And does a duplicate block qualify as a bad block, or is this a non-defect? Appreciate the help! This is my first disk failure under *nix so I'm a little uncertain of how to approach it. :)
Re: Proposal: Source file package format
++ Enables convergence towards Linux Standard Base (LSB) Reducing incompatibility between the variants of the GNU operating system that use Linux as the kernel is a useful job. The GNU Project would be happy to cooperate with other people on this, if they approach us in a cooperative spirit respecting what we've done. However, the Linux Standards Base decided to standardize the GNU system as if the GNU Project had nothing to do with it. They have a right to do that if they wish. GNU is free software, and that means people have the right to make their own versions without even consulting us. But that's not a friendly approach, so we are not going to treat their choices as standards to be followed. If a good idea comes from the LSB, we won't reject it for that. It would be childish to reject a good idea just because of who proposed it. But we will not adopt it *because* of the LSB's decision.

When Isend a job to the printer via the printing daemon (lpr), everything seems normal, I mean the job is removed and I got no error messages, but the printer prints nothing. Now, I tried both Lprng an lpd, the result is the same. With lprng, I sometimes got the message "Nothing to print", but usually everything happens as the job had been printed. The jobs are however correctly printed with rlpr -H on the remote printer... Does anybody know the reason of my trouble ? Could it be linked to KDE's "HP Laserjet utility" ?

Problems with Asus P2B-DS/350 and double PIII 450
Hello! I have a dual Pentium III 450 system with an Asus P2B-DS/350 main board, in which I removed everything but the floppy drive and the IDE CD-Rom, master on the second channel. The standard Debian boot disk hangs probing the Adaptec SCSI card bundled in the main board; I tried making custom boot kernels with 2.2.13 and everything hangs asking if I have a color monitor. I'm trying to build the smallest possible 2.2.13 boot kernel for that server, but I have no idea what could be the cause. Is there some boot problem HOWTO or some other source of information about problems booting linux or hardware problems with Linux in general? Windows NT boots, installs and seems to work fine. Is there some known problem with Linux and this Asus mainboard, or with double Pentium III? TIA, Enrico

Re: Help on modules please
Hi Marc; Thank you very much for this help. I have the following configuration right now, and when I did modprobe ne, modprobe ne0, modprobe ne1, modprobe ne2 I got absolutely no error messages in the kern.log or syslog. Anyway, the problem arises when I am booting up the system. I get the following message : Calculating module dependencies... done. Loading modules: ne0 can't locate module ne0 ne1 can't locate module ne1 /etc/conf.modules: alias ne0 ne alias ne1 ne options ne0 io=0x320 irq=09 options ne1 io=0x200 irq=03 /etc/modules: ne0 ne1 In either case, after modifying conf.modules, try 'modprobe'-ing ne (or ne0, then ne1, then ne2), instead of just re-booting. If it doesn't work, inspect /var/log/kern.log or /var/log/syslog for any relevant error messages. Post these to the list.

[UPDATE] Network Modules :
Hello all; Here is a small update on what I have done so far, and what errors I'm getting. I haven't slept much, since this has been eating my head inside out. I have cut down from three network cards to just two of them. So, the steps I would presumebly have to follow would be these : 1. Install Debian Done 2. Configure Security Done 3. Install kernel 2.2.x Pending 4. Install network cardsPending 5. Install ipmasq Pending 6. Sleep over for a long time Pending Ok, Debian is installed properly, and I have so far one network card installed correctly and working. This would be eth0 (0x320/09). Now, I have to install the second ethernet card which would need to be eth1 (0x200/03). I have edited /etc/modules in the following manner: --- # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. # An entry named `auto' will cause the system to start kerneld immediately. # Kerneld then loads modules on demand. `noauto' disables kerneld completely. # auto ne0 ne1 --- Ok, so far so good, once this was edited and saved, I went and edited the file /etc/conf.modules in this way: --- ### This file is automatically generated by update-modules # # Please do not edit this file directly.

Re: Athlon and debian
i have installed an k7+debian system a week ago I saw your message in the mailing lists's archive :) what i finally did was to obtain the 2.2.13 five first installation disks (rescue, root, 3 of drivers) from the debian ftp site I thought these boot stuff was being worked on... Oh, well, I'll give it a try. nfs with other machine only avoided me having to make a lot of floppys for the 2,2,13 kernel version, but i suppose it is not a necesity, since you are able to make the lot of floopies that compose this instalation version Basically, you put the base system floppies on the NFS server, presumably with some of the drivers as well (or did you just reconfigure the installation procedure so that the only drivers it would look for were the ones in the three drivers disks you created?). Is this correct? simply, i imagine you can make the instalation floppies from the ftp debian site , only selecting the last (stable) version I don't understand this. Do you mean stable or unstable? The stable version has a 2.0 kernel which won't like the Athlon. So. would I need to have the stable disks and make them boot off an Athlon aware kernel? That is, get the disks you mention in your message from unstable, and then have the installation procedure from stable. X-? I'm a bit confused. Thanks a lot for your help, we'll see how it goes when it gets delivered... :) Jose -- Jose L Gomez Dans PhD student Radar Communications Group Department of Electronic Engineering University of Sheffield UK

Re: Snafu
Quoting Ray Woodcock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): I'm somewhere in the process of installing slink. There was an interruption during installation, I rebooted, etc. I guess I could wipe out the disk and start over, but I'd kind of like to understand where I am and why. The $64000 question is whereabouts were you at the interruption. When you started the installation, you booted off the rescue disk. Had you finished this program entirely? If not, then boot from this disk again and follow the menus carefully. Certain things will need repeating (configure kbd, activate swap) and certain things won't (you don't need to initialise partitions that you initialised previously) which is why there are all these alternat(iv)e commands. The system boots and reboots OK. I've been playing around with bash commands. Not all of the ones I read about on Web pages seem to be working. Now I want to run dbootstrap to configure my base system. So it seems likely that you completed that program and got as far as Reboot the system ? And you set a root password? And did you set up the first user account? If so, login as user, type /bin/su - to make yourself root and now you can type dselect Does what you see now look familiar? If not, then it's likely that dselect has never been run. The safest thing to do here is to press return when it displays the package selection list and let it install whatever it had in its default list. (This may or may not have been modified if you got as far as answering the question What sort of machine are you intending to run.) Once dselect has installed it's first load of packages (after which, for slink, the output from dpkg -l | wc should start with a number around 150) you can run dselect again and pick and choose what packages you want. But when I type dbootstrap at the $ prompt, I get command not found. I go to the root (or whatever you call /) and type find dbootstrap, but that just gives me no such file or directory. A linux root directory shouldn't have any non-directories in it, apart from a link to the kernel. Anybody know where I am and where I should be going?

LxA - linux appliances
My apologies to those who have already seen this. This subject was originally discussed on the debian-firewall list, but I though there might be some on the other lists who would be interested as well. I have arranged and posted the results of my experiments in building single floppy 'linux appliances' on a Debian system. I have posted a tarball with docs and a working root filesystem that you can use to make your own LRA (Linux Routing Appliance). The url for everything is: http://home.earthlink.net/~mwshaffer/lxa/index.html I'll hopefully document and post a sample of a LPA (Linux Printing Appliance) soon as well. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Can libqt1g and libqt2 coexist?
Hi all, I've got kde.tdyc.com in my sources.list and currently have libqt1g installed. However, I was playing around trying to compile some apps that need qt2 and when I tryed to install libqt2 it asked to remove all my apps that use libqt1g and libqt1g itself. Is there anyway I can have both installed on my boxen?

Re: Kernel Version
Quoting Neil D. Roberts ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hello again from the kernel virgin man; I was wondering what the hell to install from all of this. I suppose that the docs would be the most important thing for me. But, do I need all of these ? kernel-doc-2.1.125 2.1.125-1 (675.6k) Linux kernel specific documentation. kernel-source-2.1.125 2.1.125-1 (12044.4k) Linux kernel source. kernel-source-2.2.1 2.2.1-1 (12915.9k) Linux kernel source. kernel-package 6.05 (120.2k) Debian Linux kernel package build scripts. In any case I have downloaded them. My goal is to install kernel 2.1.125-1, thats all :) Assuming you're using slink, then you probably want 2.0.36 for a quiet life. Don't use 2.1.x as they're development kernels. You could move to 2.2.13 when you're happy with things. The docs are included in the source, so you don't need the -doc package. But you want the kernel-package to make it much easier to compile kernals and make them into debian packages.

Re: hard drive not found
Rick Dunnivan wrote: I have a Gateway PC with a PIII 450 and a 9GB western digital hard drive. When I boot up with my Debian cd, my hard drive is not found. I see in the install documentation that IDE-SCSI drives are not supported. How do I know if this is what I have? This is the first time I've attempted to install an operating system of any kind, so be gentle. = rick I'm certainly no hardware expert, but saying that a drive is an IDE-SCSI drive is akin to saying that a person is a male-female person; they are mutually exclusive (well, outside of New York City and a few other places, that is). Most IDE drives should be recognized without any problem. SCSI drives may require a custom kernel in order to be recognized (but usually this is because of the SCSI controller, not the drive itself). Your best bet is to get a screwdriver and open the case and physically look at what's inside. While there, make notes of all your hardware: make and model # of the hard drive, video card, sound card, SCSI card if it exists, etc. You'll need some of this later in the installation. If you can't find a model number on some of the cards, write down the important-looking numbers on some of the important looking chips; that might provide enough of a clue when you get to the point of needing specifics. Since this is your first time to install an OS, I might suggest that you take the time and effort to install MS-DOS from scratch (manually - boot off an MS-DOS floppy with fdisk.exe and format.com and then do an fdisk and a format C: /s) before installing Debian. Then you can wipe out DOS and install Debian. The reason for this is so you can get a minimal feel for the similarities/differences in basic OS installations. At any rate, you're embarking on a great learning adventure. Have fun! Be prepared for frustrations, and for the feeling of accomplishment you'll get when you make it through.
Re: [UPDATE] Network Modules :
Quoting Neil D. Roberts ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Hello all; Here is a small update on what I have done so far, and what errors I'm getting. I haven't slept much, since this has been eating my head inside out. I have cut down from three network cards to just two of them. So, the steps I would presumebly have to follow would be these : 1. Install Debian Done 2. Configure Security Done 3. Install kernel 2.2.x Pending 4. Install network cards Pending 5. Install ipmasq Pending 6. Sleep over for a long time Pending Ok, Debian is installed properly, and I have so far one network card installed correctly and working. This would be eth0 (0x320/09). Now, I have to install the second ethernet card which would need to be eth1 (0x200/03). I have edited /etc/modules in the following manner: --- # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. # # This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are # to be loaded at boot time, one per line. Comments begin with # a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored. # An entry named `auto' will cause the system to start kerneld immediately. # Kerneld then loads modules on demand. `noauto' disables kerneld completely. # auto ne0 ne1 --- I think you're on the wrong track here. If you look at Gerard MacNeil's posting which seemed to follow the Ethernet-HOWTO (which should be in your /usr/doc) you may have more success. You only need one module which is aliased to eth0, eth1 etc. The HOWTO example fortuitously happens to be for NE2000 cards.

dselect apt-get dpkg explanations
Does anybody know about a really good explanation of the combined use of dselect, apt-get and dpkg, especially after you have made a mess of everything ?

Re: hard drive not found
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... I have a Gateway PC with a PIII 450 and a 9GB western digital hard drive. When I boot up with my Debian cd, my hard drive is not found. Ok. Do you happen to know what hard drive you have? I would not be surprised if your problem is because the Debian boot floppy is based on an ancient kernel. Have you tried a boot floppy from a more recently released distribution (like RedHat or SuSE)? Also a tip: this is how IDE drives are mapped under Linux: /dev/hda - the master drive on the primary controller /dev/hdb - the slave drive on the primary controller /dev/hdc - the master drive on the secondary controller /dev/hdd - the slave drive on the secondary controller If you see /dev/hdax (where x is a number), then that means partition x on drive /dev/hda. On most PCs today, /dev/hda is the hard drive, and either /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd is the CD drive. I see in the install documentation that IDE-SCSI drives are not supported. I don't think that's your problem. IDE-SCSI is used with IDE CD writers so that they'll work properly under Linux, and little else. This is from the documentation for the IDE-SCSI driver: This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices, and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native ATAPI driver. This is useful if you have an ATAPI device for which no native driver has been written (for example, an ATAPI PD-CD or CDR drive); you can then use this emulation together with an appropriate SCSI device driver. In order to do this, say Y here and to SCSI support and SCSI generic support, below. Note that this option does NOT allow you to attach SCSI devices to a box that doesn't have a SCSI host adapter installed. If both this SCSI emulation and native ATAPI support are compiled into the kernel, the native support will be used. How do I know if this is what I have? This is the first time I've attempted to install an operating system of any kind, so be gentle. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.

Re: Problems with Asus P2B-DS/350 and double PIII 450
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said... Hello! I have a dual Pentium III 450 system with an Asus P2B-DS/350 main board, in which I removed everything but the floppy drive and the IDE CD-Rom, master on the second channel. The standard Debian boot disk hangs probing the Adaptec SCSI card bundled in the main board; I tried making custom boot kernels with 2.2.13 and everything hangs asking if I have a color monitor. The standard boot disk hangs when the aic7xxx driver is probing, isn't it? It's a known problem; some alternative boot floppies (the Rescue disk, and the Driver disk) are available here: http://www.debian.org/~adric/aic7xxx/slink/5.1.19 [...] Is there some known problem with Linux and this Asus mainboard, or with double Pentium III? With the Asus mainboard, no. With a dual PIII, yes. The standard kernel included with Debian (2.0.36) has horrible support for dual anything. Immediately upgrading to the latest 2.2 (2.2.13 at this writing) is a _very_ good idea. -- -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
