Re: Transportar archivo en disquetes
Hola. Si haces lo que dice Jordi, creo que no necesitas ni el tar en DOS. Que yo recuerde, el comando COPY (compruebalo con COPY /?), con la opción /B, permite concatenar ficheros binarios.

Pregunta: dselect
¡Buenas! Tengo una duda sobre el dselect y no se si se puede hacer. Resulta que le he dicho que quiero actualizar desde un ftp y él me ha señalado los paquetes que necesito actualizar en mi sistema desde ese ftp, la pregunta es si yo tengo algún modo de decirle que los baje, pero no lo instale hasta que yo se lo diga (quiero hacerme una copia en un cd de estos paquetes) o si se instala automaticamente, como puede indicarle que deje una copia de los paquetes para yo luego recuperar.

Re: problema con fuentes 100dpi
Asunto: problema con fuentes 100dpi
Fecha: Wed, Jan 03, 2001 at 01:28:56AM +0100
Time to reply!
Citando a Fermín Manzanedo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Tengo un problema con las fuentes en mi debian 2.2: Leí en la lista que para
hacer legible el escritorio y el netscape, tenía que desinstalar el paquete
xfonts-100dpi. Lo hice, y mi escritorio (gnome) aparece perfecto; pero el
problema me viene en que cuando entro en el netscape (4.76) recién
actulaizado del ftp de la uc3m hay caracteres que no me aparecen
(acentos,enyes ...) y en su lugar aparece una especie de rectángulo
raro. También en consola me salen caractéres extraños (letras griegas para
los acentos, un signo matemático para la enye). Esto también me pasa con el
programa de irc bitchx.
A qué puede deberse?? Hay alguna forma de poder leer correctamente y en
castellano ?
Hola, me da en la nariz de que no tienes las fuentes xfonts-75dpi, o estas no
estan correctamente listadas en el archivo /etc/XF86Config. Por si te sirve de
algo comprueba que en ese archivo aparezcan dichas fuentes en primer lugar, es
decir:
FontPath
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:
unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, [...]
Por otro, comprueba que la codificación que emplea Netscape es la correcta:
Western(iso-8859-1), y que la fuente elegida acepta carácteres como acentos,
eñes, etc. (Esto último se puede mirar con xfontsel)
Espero que sirva, un saludo.

255.255.255.0, pero al tratar de abrir www.alcaldia.it con el netscape, nada de
nada.. y claro el apache esta instalado en el server... y desde el server puedo
hacer lynx www.alcaldia.it lynx localhost y todo lo demas... desde el cliente
hago ping al server.. pero no puedo abrir con el Netscape www.alcaldia.it,
tampoco ping alcaldia.it

Agora voce pode entrar no diretorio linux que na verdade voce vai estar entrando no diretorio kernel-source-2.2.17! é tipo um atalho! $ cd linux Agora vem a compilação Primeiro dê um $ make-kpkg clean pra limpar tudo se voce tiver compilado anteriormente. Depois: $ make menuconfig para configurar A tela de configuração da kernel vai abrir e você tem q escolher o que quer na kernel em cada tela. Depois é só dar um $ make-kpkg --revision=nome-kernel.versao kernel_image Aqui em casa por exemplo eu pus clovis.1.0 no nome da kernel e versao. Isso é pra voce mesmo achar o pacote, caso voce recompile varias kernels. Depois que acabar de compilar vai gerar um pacote no /usr/src chamado kernel-image-2.2.17_nome-kernel.versao_i386.deb é só instalá-lo com $ dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.17_nome-kernel.versao_i386.deb E pronto! -- Clovis Fabricio Costa Linux User #97332 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Voodoo 3
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what to do to set up my voodoo 3 to provide hardware-accelerated OpenGL under X 3.3.6? At this point, what I think I know is that Mesa is a free implementation of the OpenGL API, and that it can work with (over?) Glide, which is the Voodoo's API (also the name of the implementation thereof). Am I anywhere close? But I'm completely lost as to what to do to get it to work... I've installed the following packages (from potato): libglide2-v3 libglide2-dev glide2-base mesag3-glide2 mesag3-widgets mesag-glide2-dev mesag-widgets-dev Okay, so the dev packages are probably overkill at this point, but what the heck? :) If I try to run /usr/bin/test3Dfx, I get: gd error (glide): Can't find or access Banshee/V3 board gd error (glide): grSstSelect: non-existent SSTSegmentation fault In the description for libglide2-v3, it says You'll need the /dev/3dfx kernel driver to use this library. I have no clue what to do about this; where would I get the this kernel driver? I haven't had much luck in finding current documentation (I assume things have changed significantly since the 3dfx howto was last updated 3 years ago, since it specifically mentions that there is no kernel configuration necessary). If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be most appreciative. TIA. -- David Steinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try finding the line in the file /etc/inet.conf and comment it out for the services that you don't want to run.

Unable to Install Debian From CD
I have run dbootstrap from the Debian CD and installed the base system. I've done all the steps up to the point where the system is rebooted. When it reboots from a diskette, it runs the first part of the installation (set up partitions, install base system etc.), but if I try to access the CD, it says CDROM mount failed. When it boots from the HDD, I see that it finds the CDROM and calls it hdb. But when I run dselect, it only gives three options for access methods: nfs install from an NFS server (not yet mounted) floppy install from a pile of floppy disks * apt APT acquisition (file,http,ftp) I want to continue the installation from the CDROM discs resuming at the point where the Debian installation system boots from a Linux HDD, but I do not know how to proceed. Could someone provide assistance? Thank you. NOTES: The BIOS of my system does not support booting from CDROM. I believe I am using a standard ATAPI IDE drive (Wearnes CDS-2420).

Re: Cannot Open /dev/dsp device
Aaron, You can probably play music from a cd with any cd player, you can probably play a wav file with play file.wav but you can't play an .mp3 with xmms. You'll need to recompile a kernel with your sound card selected. Have look at the Debian University: http://www.xnet.com/~darogers/debian_university.txt I've just emerged from the cannot open /dev/dsp dilemma myself. You may still need to run xmms with sudo, even though you're in the audio group. Get hold of grip; put a cd in you cd; you can play any track. Rip a track (right click on it to select). Play it as a .wav. Get BladeEnc. Encode a .wav. sudo xmms Select your .mp3 . You'll know then if you need to recompile the kernel. Best wishes.

ATA-100 disk under 2.2.18 -- horrible performance
I have an IBM ATA-100 30G harddrive, attached to a ASUS CUSL2-C (Intel 815EP-based) mobo. The kernel is not even using the drive in UDMA mode.

mutt w/IMAP4+SSL?
Since i got some free time this weekend i was going to try out mutt
for the hell of it ..since i hear its a good reader..but i can't
get it to connect to my IMAP4+SSL server. it connects fine to
just the IMAP4 port but i must have it connect to the SSL
port. the package description says it supports SSL and
according to the FAQ i set the configuration to use
SSL:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ more .muttrc
set spoolfile={10.10.10.1/ssl}INBOX
set folder={10.10.10.1}
set imap_user=aphro
when i load mutt:
{10.10.10.1/ssl}INBOX is an invalid IMAP path, if i
remove the /ssl it works fine, provided i turn
off my firewall for port 143 ..
from the MUTT faq:
I'd like to get my mail via IMAP!
Mutt does now officially support IMAP. Please upgrade to a
recent version and use --enable-imap and preferably
--with-ssl if you have OpenSSL installed to get
SSL encryption for your IMAP connections.
Then you simply set your spoolfile to {mailhost/ssl}INBOX
to access your email (replace mailhost with the name or IP
of your IMAP server and omit the /ssl if you
don't have SSL support). INBOX is the canonical name for
your mail spool via IMAP. With IMAP, you can have more than
one mail folder and access them with {mailhost/ssl}INBOX/foo
with the name foo.
going to be a hard transition for me i think, being a pine
and netscape mailer user for the past 5+ years ..but
i trust the end result will be worth it ...im not really
looking to recompile mutt to get this working..so if it
is possible let me know what i am missing for it to work.
btw im running potato looks like mutt is 0.94-5
thanks

See it this way: The old way to manage devices is with major/minor node numbers. There are not much free numbers these days and if we put the system to 32 Bit numbers or the like, the kernel will be very much more bloated than that small daemon in user-mode could ever be bloated. One other IMO very good argument is, that with the old system the list of numbers is used at two different locations, one in the kernel and one in /dev or MAKEDEV scripts. With devfs there is now only one list in the kernel. (Not to mention that numbers are given in a very chaotic way to devices.) Last but not least without /dev being an ordinary directory one is much more flexible with the root-dir. It's much more simple now to make / read-only without the need vor a ramdisk and the like. And at least i'm very pleased that now i can have a look in /dev and see what's really there. By the way i love dynamically managed resources and i don't like the idea that resources are managed statically -- only think about USB. chgrp wheel /dev/somedevice chmod 660 /dev/somedevice and have it stick.

Re: busted Partition Table - How to Fix?
Hi, in DOS you can restore the MBR with fdisk /mbr that will install the standard MBR for M$. I do not know how M$-fdisk behaves when having more than one hd in the computer, so boot with a win98 bootfloppy with only one hd installed, run fdisk /mbr and see if you are able to do something. To rewrite your partition table, you can use any fdisk (DOS or Linux, AFAIK) and rewrite the partition table. Maybe scandisk will help too.

But if you would provide the diffs, I could check for myself that you did you job and nothing more and would be able to compile it for myself. So please put the diffs up somewhere too so that apt-get source package would work. A few days ago someone posted he had deb-ed the latest exim (with the rewriting stuff per router/transporter). I tried to do it myself, but failed. I asked for help, but he didn't anwser anymore:( so I'm stuck with the old version.

Re: ldap, ldap everywhere

That's exactly what I tried today to set up, but I didn't get it really to work yet. But try to install slapd (openldapd) and try to get the authentication done with libpam-ldap in adition to the passwd-authentication. The idea behind the pam-stuff is that the authentication works transparently, so you have not to change anything, just configure pam right. But I don't now how far this goes. I think some more work is to be done, like make that exim will get the correct users for mail delivery, and I don't think that adduser, passwd ... will just work on ldap. Does anyone know more about this? One more thing: in the testing distribution there isn't yet the openldap version 2.x. If you need ldap-v3 support, you'll need v2.x, maybe it is in unstable?

What is the reason the kernel dislikes the drive so much? ;^) Do you suppose I've missed some option in kernel configuration? Any other possible reasons? Could the fact that the whole drive is one 30G ext2fs partition have anything to do with the slowness? Well i am using the identical ibm drive on an abit mb without ATA100 support. In my kernel config i set IDEDMA_AUTO=y so the kernel automatically enables DMA. When i run hdparm -i it shows: UDMA modes: mode0 mode1 mode2 mode3 *mode4 mode5 And hdparm -t shows disk reads about 30MB/sec. Maybe you have to manually enable DMA for this drive.

Re: Netscape 6 for Linux ?
let me be more specific: nice: 1. auto URL completion (big whoop). 2. renders CSS, even if you turn javascript off (NICE) 3. it crashes less from what i've seen. bad: 1. they took away the bookmark button. maybe this is small potatoes for some, but it's relevant to me. i liked being able to file my bookmarks. this is what i find most annoying. 2. kerberos is completely broken (i can't access my school grades with ns6). 3. very, very, very slow to load. even slower than previous NS incarnations 4. more junk. if the mozilla project/AOL really wanted to do anyone any good, they would concentrate less on the sidebar and more on speed and stability issues. no, i don't want to see little icons at the bottom of the browser that give me 'convenient access' to instant messenger or NS mail. i hate icons and the sidebar makes me puke. 5. assigning helper applications is now very inconvenient; i can't seem to make it work. well, i was able to assign gv to postscript, but that was after 10 minutes of trial and error. i think this subsystem is broken, because even though gv is summoned when i display a postscript object, the helper display doesn't show the postscript/gv entry; it's like the entry is invisible. shit, i can't write for beans. i hope you understand what i'm saying here. i'd recommend against netscape 6. i love CSS, so it's almost worth it for me. i'm thinking of going back though. pete On Sun 07 Jan 01, 10:10 AM, Arcady Genkin said... irvine [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I was reading that there is a netscape version 6 available for Linux.

You'll have to save the original non- default runlevels and two-digit sequence code used by init to decide which order to run the scripts in. When defaults is used the service starts in runlevels 2345 and stops in 016 and the links will have sequence code 20.

Command line search and replace
Is there a tool to do a search-and-replace from the command line? Something along the lines of: replace string one string foo files-to-process I find it a bit of a hassle to keep 100+ files open just to change an .html to an .htm. Note however that I intend to use the tool on other text files besides runaway web pages, such as processing a list of files to feed to tar.
