Yo estuve buscando información sobre esto por sites de nvidia y tal, pero acabé haciéndome un lío entre X, glide, mesa, opengl y glx. X - Bueno, esto ya lo sabrás, es el sistema de ventanas de los Unix basado en la especificación X11r6 y soportado por XFree86 (XFree para x86). Glide - Es un API propietaria de 3dfx para programación gráfica 3D. Hay unos hackers de por ahí que han hecho glides para otras tarjetas y así poder jugar a los juegos 3dfx-only (los que usan glide), pero creo que a 3dfx no le sentó nada bien y les oblgigaron a retirarla o algo así. GLX - Es el protocolo cliente-servidor de OpenGL, embebido en el protocolo de comunicación de X. OpenGL - www.opengl.org, es un estándar abierto de programación gráfica 2d y 3d (Open Graphics Library). El estándar es abierto (mediante la OpenGL ARB o Architecture Review Board), pero creo que el copyright es de Silicon Graphics Mesa - Es una implementación abierta (opensource) y no certificada por Silicon Graphics de OpenGL en principio para Linux, pero creo que también está para Windows y puede que para otros unices. Hay otras implementaciones de OpenGL como la de Micros~1 (que tiene fama de lenteja), la OS de Silicon Graphics que acaba de hacer disponible y otra más de SGI que está muy optimizada para MMX y tiene muy buena fama.

Yo soy programador, aunque no muy ducho en linux (soy de la epoca de assembler, c, pascal y DOS) :-) Yo estoy igual pero si quitas el C y el Assembler (vamos, Pascal pelao y mondao). pero puedo leer y comenzar a hacer algo asi como un browser / gestor de ventanas. Los mecanismos internos serian ultrasimples, pero si vos sabes de javascript y html tal vez podamos hacer algo con un resultado mas decente que el netscape (como imaginaras me veo obligado ausarlo por este maldito webmail). Pues es una gran idea, aunque no se valorar el tamaño de semejante proyecto. De buenas a primeras no se me ocurre como meterle mano a la renderizacion del codigo HTML, y no digamos ya del Javascript. Lo bueno es que la parte mas interna podria verse en el codigo de alguno de los navegadores existentes. Por similitud he ido a buscar Arachne por la red, pero, aunque anuncian que se esta portando a Linux (y lanzan ciertos guiños a nuestro OS), ni el port aparece terminado, ni veo fuentes por ninguna parte. Por otro lado, todo lo que he leido sobre los fuentes del Netscape hablan de un gigante con un gran desorden, asi que quizas los navegadores mas interesantes de investigar serian mozilla, gzilla y cosas asi. Con un poco de ingenio y analisis tal vez hasta pueda con ayuda hacer algo asi como un gestor de ventanas. Voy a leer el RFC del protocolo X para ver si se puede apuntar a la portabilidad de paso... Todo lo que fuese portar seria un ahorro de trabajo tremendo. ¿Conoces programas para svgalib minimamente parecidos a un gestor de ventanas? (al menos algun programa que trabaje con varias ventanas en pantalla o algo asi) En fin, si interesa se puede empezar a nadar contra la corriente. La idea es estupenda. De C ando bastante escasito, pero tampoco estoy a cero total. El HTML y el Javascript lo tengo que utilizar todos los dias, asi que cualquier cosa la puedo 'mirar/probar/lo que sea' con facilidad.

Estimado Andres: Bien... en lo que a mi respecta mas que lo de html (no es lo mas mortuorio) lo interesante sera el tema de javascript. De todos modos promero y principal sera ver como leer imagenes y como usar las svgalib. El entorno del browser se llevara el 70% del esfuerzo, a no ser que querramos algo inutilizable. Por lo pronto me hablaban de que se necesitan programas con el uid de root... cosa que voy a probar esta misma noche. Por lo pronto ya que ha prosperado la idea sugiero una interiorizacion en el magico mundo de c (es como un pascal primitivo con miles de librerias) y ver que nos ofrece el sistema para desarrollo.

Re: Los genios de esta lista
... Los novatos que quieran hacer consultas tienen su derecho a hacerlas inmediatamente después de haberse suscripto. ESTO ES ESTUPENDO Y HA SIDO EL KIT DE LA CUESTIÓN. Si se lee sólo el primer párrafo puede interpretarse que Antonio sugería que sólo se permita enviar mensajes a quienes hace algún tiempo que están suscriptos. ESO ES LO QUE SE ENTENDÍA Y EN CONTRA DE ELLO ME MANIFESTÉ Desde luego que esto va en contra de los novatos, de los que de-suscriben temporariamente y de los que no quieren estar permanentemente suscriptos. Volviendo a la propuesta original que espero haya quedado clara ahora: es técnicamente practicable? Me refiero a que el servidor de la lista debería mantener dos listas de usuarios: la de los suscriptores y la de los habilitados a enviar. Cuando alguien se suscribe se lo agrega a ambas listas. Cuando alguien se desuscribe se lo elimina de la lista de suscriptores y se pone a correr un timer antes de eliminarlo de la lista de autorizados. Esto no está tan mal si a quien intenta filtrarse siempre se le manda una respuesta con el método de suscripción bien clarito. No olvidemos que muchos serán, y perdón por volver con el tema, novatos. Creo que cuanta más gente use Debian mejor, para nosotros y para ellos, y no debemos desaprovechar la oportunidad de abrir la puerta a quien llame en ella.( No soy teólogo pero esta frase viene al pelo, después de todo muchos nos llegan de manos del mismo demonio. ¿No?) Enfin que creo que todo está aclarado y debemos, si no os importa, centrarnos en nuestro querido Debian y dejar estos politiqueos apartados. Ala, vamos a aprender Debian. Hasta pronto. Diego Bote.

No internet connection with 'frozen' and 2.2.14 kernel...
Hi, Someone had a similar problem, with 'frozen' and 2.2.14 kernel not recognizing the internet connection but the internet connection works with the 2.0.36 kernel. the internet connection doesn't work with 2.2.12 kernel either.. Any suggestions other than going to slink. Thanks Rajesh

Re: What sends IGMP packets?
Le 2000-02-11 21:16:20 +0100, Anton Emmerfors écrivait : Since a few days something is sending out IGMP packages to 224.0.0.1 and this is bad for several reasons. First, 224.0.0.1 is in the private range of multicast addresses[1] (IIRC) so something must be incorrectly configured. Second, I can't find the program responsible for sending these packages. BTW: IGMP is Internet Group Management Protocol according to /etc/protocols. [1] Weird thing is, the 224.0.0.1 address resolves to ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET according to nslookup. Is that really correct? As far as I know, there is nothing wrong. Your kernel must have been compiled with multicast support, and it is trying to subscribe to the general multicast group. I believe the multicast RFC(s) mandates this. Win9x clients do this also. To get rid of these packets, just compile your kernel without the multicast option. Hope it helps. -- Jean-Philippe Guérard

Re: Palm/Visor handheld support from Debian?
I was wondering if anyone has come up with any tools for Debian to be able to sync with a Palm or Handspring Visor handheld. Are there any handhelds that Linux is able to work with? there are lots. the command line tools and libraries in the pilot-link package are what most of them are based on and there are conduits for ical, netplan, korganizer etc. my favorite one is jpilot (there is a debian package), i don't like the interface very much (it's a near clone of the windows software) but it works properly and doesn't crash. other options are pilot-manager and kpilot (both have debian packages) ... hell there's a lot of them. here are some urls i've colected which you might find useful. - gnome pilot: http://www.gnome.org/gnome-pilot/ - pilot howto: http://www.ssc.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/Pilot-HOWTO.html - pilot-ldif: http://student-www.uchicago.edu/~rekopp/software/pilot-ldif/ - sync-cal: http://hopf.math.nwu.edu/syncal/ - pi-address: http://www.in-berlin.de/User/miwie/pia/ - palmsync: http://www2.sis.pitt.edu/~jkabara/pilot-sync/development.html that should get you started anyway. there's lots of half done stuff out there which is mostly useless. jpilot is pretty good though. adam.

Re: Palm/Visor handheld support from Debian?
So, yes there are tools out there for the Palm. I don't know about the Visor or any others. Handspring Visor (Deluxe is the one I want to get) has PalmOS on it and I even think that the same people who made the original Palm Pilot where the ones to make the Handspring Visor, so I'm assuming that they work in the same way. I'm pretty sure most of the software in the Visor is the same too. -- Bart Szyszka [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ:4982727 GigaBee Interactive http://www.gigabee.com Join AllAdvantage.com and get paid to surf the Web! http://www.alladvantage.com/go.asp?refid=ARD582
logfile names
Hi, I'm trying to write a script for parsing log files on a Debian Slink system, and I have a few questions: 1. When someone su's to root, where is that event logged? auth.log? 2. What exactly is the purpose of the debug file? They look like error messages, but what makes them different from the ones in other *.err files? 3. Is there anything like the PAM_pwdb type info on a RHL system? Something that tracks failed logins, successful su's, remote sessions, and so forth? Is this already logged to someplace else? 4. Where do the identd requests show up? Thanks much!! -- David S.

Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a major nightly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of the program described below to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are absolutely no laws prohibiting the participation in the program. This has helped to show people that this is a simple, harmless and fun way to make some extra money at home. The results of this show have been truly remarkable. So many people are participating that those involved are doing much better than ever before. Since everyone makes more as more people try it out, its been very exciting to be a part of lately. You will understand once you experience it. HERE IT IS BELOW: *** PRINT THIS NOW FOR FUTURE REFERENCE *** The following income opportunity is one you may be interested in taking a look at. It can be started with VERY LITTLE investment and the income return is TREMENDOUS! If you would like to make at least $50,000 in less than 90 days! Please read the enclosed program.

The longer your wait, the more people will be doing business using e-mail. Get your piece of this action!!! MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING (MLM) has finally gained respectability. It is being taught in the Harvard Business School, and both Stanford Research and the Wall Street Journal have stated that between 50% and 65% of all goods and services will be sold through multi-level methods by the mid to late 1990's. This is a Multi-Billion Dollar industry and of the 500,000 millionaires in the U.S., 20% (100,000) made their fortune in the last several years in MLM. Moreover, statistics show 45 people become millionaires everyday through Multi-Level Marketing. You may have heard this story before, but over the summer Donald Trump made an appearance on the David Letterman show. Dave asked him what he would do if he lost everything and had to start over from scratch. Without hesitating, Trump said he would find a good network marketing company and get to work. The audience started to hoot and boo him. He looked out at the audience and dead-panned his response: That's why I'm sitting up here and you are all sitting out there! The enclosed information is something I almost let slip through my fingers. Fortunately, sometime later I re-read everything and gave somethought and study to it. My name is Johnathon Rourke. Two years ago, the corporation I worked at for the past twelve years down-sized and my position was eliminated. After unproductive job interviews, I decided to open my own business. Over the past year, I incurred many unforeseen financial problems. I owed my family, friends and creditors over $35,000. The economy was taking a toll on my business and I just couldn't seem to make ends meet. I had to refinance and borrow against my home to support my family and struggling business. AT THAT MOMENT something significant happened in my life and I am writing to share the experience in hopes that this will change your life FOREVER FINANCIALLY!!! In mid December, I received this program via e-mail. Six month's prior to receiving this program I had been sending away for information on various business opportunities. All of the programs I received, in my opinion, were not cost effective. They were either too difficult for me to comprehend or the initial investment was too much for me to risk to see if they would work or not. One claimed that I would make a million dollars in one year...it didn't tell me I'd have to

Out of control tcplogd
I have two machines running Corel Linux 1.0 (not sure which debain release this corresponds to) and am having difficulty with one or possibly both of them. The one machine, named kovu, started responding with Resource temporarily unavailable messages when I tried to perform most any task from a shell. Upon further investigation, I noticed that it was swamped with sleeping tcplogd processes. The daemon log was full of messages of the form tcplogd: port 832 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and also tcplogd: port 832 connection attempt from [EMAIL PROTECTED] where meeko is my other linux box. Inspection of meeko's logs showed tons of messages of the form tcplogd: auth connection attempt from kovu.sabado.com On kovu, I restarted iplogger and all the sleeping tcplogd's went away. However, every 5-15 minutes a new one is added and I assume they will eventually chew up all available processes. There are no extra instances of tcplogd on meeko. Obviously, I've screwed something up somewhere, but don't know what. Any guess as to what's going on? Is there any particular significance to port 832? I didn't see it listed in the services. What on meeko could be attempting to open this port? Further, why does tcplogd keep spawning new processes that don't go away? I realize that iplogger is being replaced, but would really like to understand this problem before I explore upgrading packages. Thanks for any help. Mark Lynn Sabado Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: No internet connection with 'frozen' and 2.2.14 kernel...

During bootup, it recognises eth0 and prints out the message regd the 3c59x card but then it gives me 'depmod' errors with all the '.o files' in the /lib/modules/2.0.36/pcmcia/ directory.

Slowdown on bootup
Hi, I'm suddenly experiencing a weird slowdown on bootup. Things proceed normally until: Starting system log daemon : syslogd Then, it hangs for a long time until I get syslogd klogd The test of the bootup process then proceeds at a _glacial_ pace until I get the login prompt. I then login O.K. I have an alias alias x='startx -dpi 100' When I type x it takes a while to start up X, which is something new. Thereafter, things seem O.K. The only major things I've done recently involve editing /etc/init.d/network and /etc/nsswitch.conf. /etc/hosts has a line for my hostname/domain name. ? any ideas what this is all about. I use Slink; sysklogd 1.3-31 ; kernel 2.2.12 Thanks, Howard Mann.

Newbie's experience Installing Debian
OK, so after 5 years of playing with slackware and Red Hat, I decide that my next OS will be Debian --- I've seen the web page, and like the philosophy and want to get started. The usenet reports that Debian is so difficult to install can't all be true can they? Unfortunately I've found they are. Not knowing much about Debian I look on the web site for advice. I find this: `It is recommended that first time installers buy the CD set as the installation is more straightforward. Many of the vendors sell the distribution for less than US$5 plus shipping (check their web page to see if they ship internationally). ' Fine I think US$5 == AUD8 plus let's say $10 for postage, I should be able to get going for $18. Well I don't want to wait weeks for a shipment from the US, so I phone my local software shop and ask them if they stock Debian 2.1 . Yes, they have a 2 CD set for $25. Great says I . I don't really mind paying an extra $7. The shop's got to make an honest profit, and I don't have to wait. So I take home the 2 CDs, and one by one I put them in my machine, and switch on. neither CD will boot. So I mount the CD and take a look at them. After a while I figure that I've bought the source CDs not the binarys. I have a look at the front and sure enough in tiny writing I see that it does include the word `source'. Damn I say. Perhaps it was my fault. I shouldn't have rushed in. Perhaps I need to be a little more patient. I should have read up about it first. I take another look at the Debian Web Site. I see that the words `Official' are reserved for the set that the Debian team produce so I decide that I ought to be getting these. I phone around my home town, but no-one has a set of Debian CDs with the word `official' on the cover. Indeed the guy on the phone seems to think I'm a bit wierd for insisting on this. After about an hour of acute embarrassement I give up and have another look at the Debian web site. There's a list of recommened books which come with CDs. That's what I really need thinks I.

So, for $40 I buy this book. Take it home, read through the first couple of chapters and am much more confident. I bung the disk into the drive, and switch on. Hooray! it boots. A kernel runs and a pretty menu of options appears. So, I step thought setting the colour, selecting a keyboard, partitioning the disk . I set up a filesystem and swap file everything appears to be fine. Then I come to the Install bit. I choose to install off the CD (seems sensible to me). I see the following message: Choose Debian archive path. Please choose the path inside the CD-ROM where the Debian archive resides and the default appears to be /debian. I choose the default, not having any other information. Then comes: Pleae select the directory containing the file resc1440tecra.bin This stumps me. How the hell should I know where that is?

Re: Newbie's experience Installing Debian
Unfortunately, you got bit by the New Riders bug. They screwed up with the CD that comes with that book. I hear they'll ship you another CD if you contact them. My first experience with Debian was a little less than a year ago. I got the 4CD set (2 binary, 2 source) from CheapBytes for a little under $10 US. It took me about three tries to get through the initial install, and then a couple of redos to get it configured the way I wanted. Then I moved to potato for an X that supported my video card (didn't know about Slink versions). Been a satisfied customer ever since. If you've got a decent internet connection, I'd say try the boot-floppy install for Potato (they need some willing souls to help them get the floppies ready for the next release). You'll probably want to move to it anyway, unless you need ultra stability for a critical server. -- ++ | Eric G. Milleregm2@jps.net | | GnuPG public key: http://www.jps.net/egm2/gpg.asc | ++

Re: Newbie's experience Installing Debian
Unfortunately the install side of things i have found to be rather rough at the edges myself. Installed debian over a year ago. And dumped the other OS. Ive been trying to create potato cd's from a copy on my HDD using debian-cd package. Finally mamaged to get it to a state where it creates images. They boot ok but the install seems to have some problems ( may be due to my modifying debian-cd trying to get it to work.) Anyway ive given up. Which is unfortunate as ive got 3 mates who now have redhat / mandrake installed. sigh and ive got a copy of potato on my HDD bugger. I dont see much point giving them my slink CD's :(.

modules.dep is older than modules.conf
Since my last apt-get upgrade today (potatoe) I keep getting this error message when I boot and modules are loaded. I 'touched' modules.dep to give it a newer time stamp but when I reboot it is changed back to 8 hours earlier than my boot time. This is probably happening because the boot scripts don't set the my system to local time (pst) before depmod is run. Should this be considered a bug and reported??

Re: Firewall question
On Fri, Jan 28, 2000 at 09:26:46AM -0500, Bill White wrote: Hi. I have a question about how powerful my firewall computer should be. I want to make a firewall for a small constellation of computers in my living room. Behind the firewall I will have two Win98 computers, one computer which boots Win98 or several flavors of Unix/Linux, and one Hurd box. This system will be entirely single user at any one time, though there may be different users. The network application will mostly be using VPN software to use Outlook and downloading source files through a CM system. Think of it as using CVS on a 1.0e6 line SW project, with 10 or so engineers making changes. I will need to fetch changed files from the internal network. I have an old 486DX120 machine which needs memory. I was planning to put 32Mb in it and letting it be the firewall. The two Win98 machines are on one subnet, and one hub, and everything else is on a second hub and subnet, so the firewall box will handle routing between the two subnets. I need this to work this way for the VPN on the Win98 machines. The other machines are not involved in the VPN at all. Does this computer seem reasonably powerful? I found (via some testing with a friend) that various denial-of-service attacks sent in high-volume to ANY linux server running tcplogd and/or icmplogd typically would cause the machine to keel over dead fairly rapidly -- and not recover -- if the machine was RAM hungry and had the added disadvantage of being disk IO bound via slow IDE, whatever... We played around with a few different machines I own -- 486 w/32M RAM, K6-2/350 w/96MB RAM, and PIII450 w/128MB RAM. Machines NOT logging every darn packet that came by typically faired MUCH better and recovered nicely. Of course, if you have all the logging stuff on, and someone does this, if that machine is the firewall machine, your network's then off-line. Of course, such attacks are very indiscreet and most folks have no reason to do them against people (other than recent strangeness at Yahoo, and other large companies), and inevitably the attacker makes a mistake and evidence of their true source is left somewhere... forensics and syslogd become good friends at that point... :) So the answer is, Yes... the 486 will work. -- but it could be taken off-line fairly easily if you run the logging deamons. Other things to consider running on the firewall are port-scan detection programs like snort and portsentry. These can be configured to drop network connections from machines doing casual port-scanning easily, and if the person doing the scanning is spoofing IP addresses... (when will ISP's learn to only route their ASSIGNED address ranges Damn...) then you could end up with a bunch of things you can't get to on the net until you figure out what happened. Depending on the time you have available to play with it, it's very interesting stuff. One friend has portsentry doing a fun thing... every time his firewall is port-scanned, it pages him on his text pager. He then gets to log in via SSH and see what all the fuss is about. :) :) -- Nate Duehr [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key fingerprint = DCAF 2B9D CC9B 96FA 7A6D AAF4 2D61 77C5 7ECE C1D2 Public Key available upon request, or at wwwkeys.pgp.net and others. pgp8FeNxS3ugU.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: what is ginstall?
I have had this experience with two machines running Debian. While compiling some apps, during 'make install', I get an error about not finding ginstall. I solved this by making a symlink: ln -s install ginstall Has anyone else had this problem? I take it this is not a debianized source? Often if GNU utilities are installed on non-GNU unices, they get a `g' prepended to their name, so on an SGI machine, you may find gmake (GNU make) together with make (IRIX make), and gtar (GNU tar) together with tar (IRIX tar). I suppose the app you were trying to compile has been developed on a platform that both had a native install and a GNU install. I personally would edit the makefile instead of adding links on my system, but that probably is a matter of taste. HTH, Eric -- E.L.

The whole disk being used for Linux only. - First strange message after initializing the 16MB swap and 2MB root and typing 4 (exit), I got SWAP ON... failed. But the install program load nonetheless. - I then configure the keyboard without problem but during the Configure Device Driver Modules, I get a can't open /lib/2.0.86/modules and another can't open something (too fast to read it). The install program then goes to exit, finished with the modules (I don't get to select any module and then go back to main menu and start install base system and get terminal problem described in the opening of this message. Well that's it. I sure hope you can help me out. Thank you, Chris __ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com?sr=mc.mk.mcm.tag001

Guru challenge: hosts/networking
Hi,
I have a weird problem with my DSL setup, using the DSL router in
ppp mode. The router incorporates NAT, changing the router's IP
address into a Class A private network address.
The problem seems to be associated, at least in part, with my
/etc/nsswitch.conf file :
passwd: compat
group: compat
shadow: compat
#hosts: files dns
hosts:dns files
#networks: files
networks: nis files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc:db files
netgroup: nis
With the file like this, bootup hangs for a _very_ long time at the
Starting system log daemon : syslogdstage.
and also at the Starting print spooler : lpd stage
It then proceeds very slowly to the login prompt.
If I use the line : hosts : files dns instead, this does
not happen, but I cannot then get to my ISP's nameservers or do a
nslookup.
These are other pertinent files :
howardm:~$cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.0.0.2howardm.xmission.comhowardm
howardm:~$cat /etc/networks

Re: Newbie's experience Installing Debian
John, Your disk is bad. All disks are bad that came with the first edition of the book! New Riders feels badly about this... Go to www.newriders.com. The home page tells you how to get your free upgrade. Next time go to www.Cheapbytes.com. On Mon, 14 Feb 2000, Darrington, John wrote: OK, so after 5 years of playing with slackware and Red Hat, I decide that my next OS will be Debian --- I've seen the web page, and like the philosophy and want to get started. The usenet reports that Debian is so difficult to install can't all be true can they? Unfortunately I've found they are. Not knowing much about Debian I look on the web site for advice. I find this: `It is recommended that first time installers buy the CD set as the installation is more straightforward. Many of the vendors sell the distribution for less than US$5 plus shipping (check their web page to see if they ship internationally). ' Fine I think US$5 == AUD8 plus let's say $10 for postage, I should be able to get going for $18. Well I don't want to wait weeks for a shipment from the US, so I phone my local software shop and ask them if they stock Debian 2.1 . Yes, they have a 2 CD set for $25. Great says I . I don't really mind paying an extra $7. The shop's got to make an honest profit, and I don't have to wait. So I take home the 2 CDs, and one by one I put them in my machine, and switch on. neither CD will boot. So I mount the CD and take a look at them. After a while I figure that I've bought the source CDs not the binarys. I have a look at the front and sure enough in tiny writing I see that it does include the word `source'. Damn I say. Perhaps it was my fault. I shouldn't have rushed in. Perhaps I need to be a little more patient. I should have read up about it first. I take another look at the Debian Web Site. I see that the words `Official' are reserved for the set that the Debian team produce so I decide that I ought to be getting these. I phone around my home town, but no-one has a set of Debian CDs with the word `official' on the cover. Indeed the guy on the phone seems to think I'm a bit wierd for insisting on this. After about an hour of acute embarrassement I give up and have another look at the Debian web site. There's a list of recommened books which come with CDs. That's what I really need thinks I. So I phone around the technical bookshops and low and behold one of them has a product that I think will get me going: Debian GNU/Linux: Guide to Installation and Usage Author: John Goerzen and Ossama Othman Publisher: New Riders Publishing CD Included: one CD It's recommended on the web site and the title encourages me to think that it should be easy to use. So, for $40 I buy this book. Take it home, read through the first couple of chapters and am much more confident. I bung the disk into the drive, and switch on. Hooray! it boots. A kernel runs and a pretty menu of options appears. So, I step thought setting the colour, selecting a keyboard, partitioning the disk . I set up a filesystem and swap file everything appears to be fine. Then I come to the Install bit. I choose to install off the CD (seems sensible to me). I see the following message: Choose Debian archive path. Please choose the path inside the CD-ROM where the Debian archive resides and the default appears to be /debian. I choose the default, not having any other information. Then comes: Pleae select the directory containing the file resc1440tecra.bin This stumps me. How the hell should I know where that is? Being a resourcefull character I back out of the menu wait until the CD is unmounted, and place it in another machine and search for this file. It's located at /debian/boot So back into the install procedure I go, enter /debian/boot at the appropriate place. It seems to be denying the existence of this file. --- but wait it's actually wanting the location of a file with a similar name drv1440tecra.bin. I don't know where that is? I see there is an option `list' which automatically detects it so I try that. Apparently it's not there. Back to my other machine, and do a find . Sure enough it's not there. What do I do now? I press F1 like the start up screen told me. nothing happens. I turn to the book. No hints. I spend the next 2 hours rebooting and trying every possible path though the menu. including mounting the CD manually and pointing the install process to the archives. It still wants this non-existent file. It's time to conclude that perhaps my hardware has some funny configuration which this CD doesn't support. So, I borrow a machine and try again. Exactly the same symptoms. So after 2 days and $65 I have not managed to get even a login prompt. For that price I could have got RedHat 6.1. It's quite a demoralising experience. Are these problems common in Debian installation or is it just me ??

Re: rebuild kernel and modules
Hi Lee, So, when I do a dpkg -i kernel_image, would this allowed me to install the modules one by one or it would just install all the modules that I configure to build before rebuilding the kernel? Secondly, when I installed the module during the fresh installation, I selected a several modules and the system would prompt me for some command line options to the modules that I selected, what are the available options? I believe at the same time, it also display some warning message about unavailable of some document... Thanks!

pcmcia and nfs
Hi all, I'm running unstable on my Toshiba Satellite with pcmcia support, works very good. I'm now trying to move to nfs mounted homedirs from my server. Mounting works without problem, but at boot up mountnfs.sh from /etc/init.d/ always gets executed before the pcmcia network is up. Manually adding a link in my runlevel directory /etc/rc2.d/ after pcmcia is called works. But I was not able to figure out _where_ mountnfs.sh gets executed before pcmcia support. I tried find /etc -type f|xargs grep mountnfs but no file except /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh showed the mountnfs string.
