'cron' es un demonio que realiza tareas de mantenimiento y otras programadas por el administrador del sistema cada cierto tiempo marcado en el fichero /etc/crontab. También está 'anacron' que es igual al anterior, con un fichero /etc/anacrontab, con la diferencia respecto a 'cron' de que este no asume que la máquina está encendida las 24h. del dia. Es muy probable que lo que tengas en tu máquina corriendo periódicamente sea 'anacron' y no 'cron'. Yo hice lo mismo que tu quieres mediante arranque automático del PC mediante autosetup por BIOS a una hora de la noche con buenos ratios de descarga (por ejemplo las 3:00h.) y apagado de la máquina, mediante un 'shutdown' programado en /etc/crontab pasado un tiempo estimado para la descarga completa, o bien si lo haces por sesiones, con 'wget' a la hora que convenga, para seguir el proceso al dia siguiente.

Re: Conf Modem...

Yo use otro programa para detectar el modem y no lo reconocio, creo que era el pppconfig. Tuve que ponerlo manualmente pero el problema es que tengo solo dos puertos que Debian me carga: ttyS0 y ttyS1. El ttyS0 es el del mouse, y creo que podria usar arbitrariamente el otro no? o cómo sé cuál usar? porque en Windows me usa el COM5 y hay un tutorial que te hace crear el ttyS15 para hacer enlace con el /dev/modem y asi usarlo, pero no logré hacerlo. De ahí mi duda de cuál puerto elegir y demas... porque suponiendo que el wvdialconf no me reconozca el modem como me paso con el pppconfig, qué puerto le asigno? esa es mi duda mas que nada, porque aunque en Windows el modem anda, Linux no me lo detecta y tengo que configurarlo manualmente... pero manualmente no sé qué puerto asignar. El modem estoy seguro de que es PCI Full y que no es winmodem, pero no pude hacerlo andar... yo me tiro mas por el lado de que soy muy inexperto, ademas de que un amigo de la lista que entiende mucho mas que yo, me reocmendó ese modem siendo que lo vio funcionar sin dramas.

Para wget, sencillamente usa siempre wget -c y cuando quieras parar pulsa ctrl + c. Para continuar donde se quedó, ejecuta la misma orden de antes en el mismo directorio (aunque sea otro dia). _ Uso de CRON para tareas programadas. _ Utilizando crontab -e como usuario (o mediante programas como kcrontab para KDE), se puede editar el fichero de tareas programadas de CRON. Su sintaxis consiste en una línea por taréa, con el siguiente formato: minute hour daymonth month dayweek comando Los valores pueden ser los siguientes: minute 0-59 hour 0-23 day of month 0-31 month 0-12 (or names, see below) day of week0-7 (0 and 7 = sunday) Si algún campo queramos que se ignore (que se ejecute para cualquier valor) pondremos un *. También pueden incluirse múltiples fechas mediante la COMA, como por ejemplo, ejecutar un programa los dias 1,3,5,7 de la semana. Ejemplos: ejecución del programa randsig: A las 12:30 de la mañana: 30 12 * * * /usr/bin/randsig Eso ejecutaría randsig a la 12:30 de cualquier dia de la semana, cualquier día del mes, y en cualquier mes, es decir: ejecutaría randsig todos los días a las 12:30: A las 12:30 de la madrugada: 30 00 * * * /usr/bin/randsig Para disponer del PATH estándar para la ejecución de los comandos (y no tener que añadirlo en todos, pues el PATH no estará disponible) puede incluirse la siguiente línea al principio del fichero: PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:(etc...) Por defecto cron envia un email con la salida estándar y otro con la salida de error (si la hay) al usuario propietario de la tarea. Para evitar esto podemos usar 1/dev/null y 2/dev/null (ambos, o sólo 1 de ellos si queremos conocer los errores, por ejemplo). Ej: 30 12 * * * comando 1/dev/null 2/dev/null También puede usarse /dev/null 21 Se pueden incluír líneas de comentarios con # al principio. Más información: man 5 crontab.

Pero haciendo un host dominio si me responde... El /etc/resolv.conf es exactamente eso: nameserver 194.224.156.2 En el router-firewall está puesto el bind, aunque no he configurado ninguna zona... ¿Deberia hacerlo? ¿Cómo? Lo que si puedo hacer es telnetear al router-proxy al puerto 25 desde la estación de trabajo. ¿Porque si puedo telnetear yo no puede hacrelo el exim? Eso me hace suponer que el exim del router-firewall esta bien, que el problema es del exim o el dns de la estacion de trabajo.

apt-get y dselect.
Buenas... Llevo un mes o asi sin actulizar mi woody con lo que el numero de paquetes a actulizar es considerable, y me pasa algo un poco raro. Normalmente acutalizaba siempre con apt-get update; apt-get upgrade pero ahora despues de hacer apt-get update ejecute dselect. El caso es que tengo muchos paquetes que me aparecen como obsolete y que el quiere desinstalar. Me da un poco de miedo. Entre otros estan por ejemplo el task-x-window-system-core y un monton de cosas la mayoria de kde y gnome. Sin embargo si en vez de con dslect lo hago con apt-get update no intenta borrar nada sino solo cambiarme cosas. ?Que esta pasando? Supongo que los paquetes marcados como obsoletos en dselect son paquetes que han sido sustituidos por nbuevas versiones (kde2.0-kde2.1beta) y que dslect me quiere borrar los viejos y apt-get solamente me baja los nuevos dejandome los dos. Estoy en lo cierto? Gracias y saludos. Pablo. -- TITANIC: Famoso transatlántico cuyo casco fue diseñado con Windows.

Re: XF86Config ...
Complementando o que foi sugerido... Minha placa não é como a sua, mas com vídeo onboard também. O que fiz foi atualizar apenas o arquivo (server) XF86_SVGA da versão 4xx do XFree (copiei por cima do arquivo da versão 3xx para manter o restante da versão da distribuição). E quando configurei pelo xf86config, mandei que utilizasse o próprio. Lá dentro, rodei o xvidtune, copiei os Modelines e ajustei na mão o XF86Config. Resumindo. Fiquei com a versão XFree original da distro, com apenas o server SVGA da versão 4 do XFree. Talvez também resolva no seu caso. Mas não se esqueça de copiar o XF86_SVGA original em backup.

mh-rmail in emacs falls over at 10k messages.
Greetings, I was starting to enjoy using mh-rmail mode in emacs. It suddenly stopped displaying messages, even though it would read them, at message (or there abouts). The Debian connection? This took about 5 months of debian-user, debian-laptop and kernel-dev. I copied ~/Mail/inbox to ~/Mail/inbox0 and everything started working again. 'nmh' from the command line, seems to be able to cope with this.

It says: modprobe sound, insmod ad1848, insmod uart401, insmod cs4232 io=* irq=* dma=* dma2=* and it gives nominal values, same as you gave. (about the only thing that is tickling my brain at this point is it refers to the io=0x534 being the same as the 'Windows Sound System' -- do I need to compile in the Microsoft Sound system module to kick this thing in gear?).

It says to check out pnpdump, isapnp, and isapnp.conf. So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse like in WSS mode).

Re: cdrecord problems
Mike wrote: SCSI emulation support CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI 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. You must then provide the kernel command line hdx=scsi (try man bootparam or see the documentation of your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at boot time) for devices if you want the native EIDE sub-drivers to skip over the native support, so that this SCSI emulation can be used instead. This is required for use of CD-RW's. 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. Part way through is what you sent, at the end is what I sent. To me this particular passage is self-contradictory. At one point it says you can, and then goes on to say that you can't. Which portion am I to believe? I read this to mean that by default the native support will be used if both are compiled into the kernel, and you can change the default by using hdx=scsi. Then there's the matter of whether it's hdx=scsi or hdx=ide-scsi One source says one thing, another says another thing. What's more confusing is they *both* *work*. You got your's right from the kernel docs - an authoratative source, to be sure. I got mine from the CD-Writing HOWTO - not an authoritative source, but it does work. drivers/ide/ide.c: [...] /* * Look for drive options: hdx= */ if (s[0] == 'h' s[1] == 'd' s[2] = 'a' s[2] = max_drive) { const char *hd_words[] = {none, noprobe, nowerr, cdrom, serialize, autotune, noautotune, slow, swapdata, bswap, flash, remap, noremap, scsi, NULL}; unit = s[2] - 'a'; hw = unit / MAX_DRIVES; unit = unit % MAX_DRIVES; hwif = ide_hwifs[hw]; drive = hwif-drives[unit]; - if (strncmp(s + 4, ide-, 4) == 0) { - strncpy(drive-driver_req, s + 4, 9); - goto done; } [...] OK, apparently you can prepend any ide driver option with ide- and it will still work, so I guess we're both right (but my choice is clearly the preferred one :-). brian

If I want to ping addresses in the 24.200.41.0 or the DNS server, I need to enter the following commands: ipchains -P forward ACCEPT and ipcahins -A forward -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQ. Also before I can enter these commands I need to enable ip_forward: echo 1 ip_forward. . aha! apt-get install ipmasq boy will THAT save you some trouble! I cannot access the internet from any on my win98SE comps. And I haven't installed any applications on my linux box, so I can try accessing any http sites from the this comp.

It says: modprobe sound, insmod ad1848, insmod uart401, insmod cs4232 io=* irq=* dma=* dma2=* and it gives nominal values, same as you gave. (about the only thing that is tickling my brain at this point is it refers to the io=0x534 being the same as the 'Windows Sound System' -- do I need to compile in the Microsoft Sound system module to kick this thing in gear?). Tried that. Still didn't work. Same document No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think). says if this doesnt work, need to use Linux PnP. So, I look in xconfig. Yes, I enabled Plug-n-Pray. It says to check out pnpdump, isapnp, and isapnp.conf. So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse like in WSS mode).

Re: IMAP MUA and filtering
Hi Matthew, On Tue, Jan 16, 2001 at 10:59:48PM +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have recently managed to set up Postfix, and get it to feed to the Cyrus IMAP server. At the moment I'm using TkRat, but am finding it a little restrictive. This isn't an MUA solution, but rather a whole mail system, but it works well for me. maildrop is a procmail-like MDA which is packaged for debian, and is very stable and easy to use. IMHO, its syntax is a lot easier to understand than procmail - it uses pretty bog-standard conditionals, curley braces, and posix regexs. If postfix supports .forward files, you'll need something like | maildrop -d $USER in your .forward file (off the top of my head, could be wrong). Next get courier-imap, which may be available for debian, but if it isn't it's very easy to compile by hand (configure; make; make install). It's available at www.courier-mta.com. Courier uses maildir directories (which are supported by maildrop, which is by the same author as courier-imap), so you just need to tell maildrop to, say, deliver debian-user into ./Maildir/.debian-user, which then becomes available as an imap folder. You can then read your imap mail with mutt, which now has good support for imap and imap browsing (hint: try spool = {localhost}INBOX in your .muttrc). The IMAP client in netscape also works well with this combination. If you want to get really fancy, on the courier site you can also find sqwebmail, which is a hotmail like webmail interface, which works with the same maildirs as courier-imap. It also has a nice web interface for writing sorting rules, so you don't have to edit your .mailfilter file by hand to add new sorting rules. I use effectively this combination myself, and it works really well. Could anyone reccomment a good MUA with good support for IMAP and filtering of incomming mail. I'm assuming one can't use procmail to filter mail as it won't work in a IMAPd (I think!), so which MUAs are there out there that both support IMAP and filtering? I am interested in functionality rather than a pretty GUI, and am more than happy with a console app if it does everything I need it to. In this case, you can't go past mutt. Nothing with a pretty gui (even for windows) comes near it for functionality and spead. It has somewhat of a steep learning curve, but it's worth it. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller http://killfilter.com GPG Key: 0xA136E829

Damon == Damon Muller [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Damon I use effectively this combination myself, and it works Damon really well. My only dislike of the above is courier-imap. It insists that all folders appear below INBOX (eg. INBOX.trash) which in turn looks messy and prevents using a hierarchy for your own folders. ie. A commonly known commercial mail program for a non-Debian non-Linux OS would display: imap |- INBOX |- trash |- sent_mail |- sent_mail_1998 |- sent_mail_1999 |- sent_mail_1999_January which is totally broken IMHO, as what I want is: imap |- INBOX |- trash |- sent_mail |- 1998 |- 1999 |- January (this one might be tricky, as nested folders to this depth are not supported by the Maildir++ standard[1]). as none of the folders have anything to do with INBOX, but Courier-imap does not support this. The author was written something and claims that this behaviour is not broken[2], but instead blames the client. I remain unconvinced. I do not believe he answers the question in the FAQ (change the question from Why can't I create any top-level folders, only subfolders of INBOX? to Why do all folder names need to be prefixed with 'INBOX.'? and the answer might make more sense). In short all folders have to be sub folders of INBOX because that is what courier-imap uses to indicate private (non-shared) mail, and no solution to this problem is given.

On bug reporting
Hello! I would like to know if there are guidelines for bug reporting: I use debian unstable, and I find bugs, but I don't report most of them for many reasons. I've never discussed these reasons with anyone. Now I would like to. I identified until now three kind of such unreported bugs: - Evident bugs I work mainly offline, so I don't have constant access to bugs.debian.org, and usually can't know when a bug has already been reported. When I find a bug in a package that is likely to already have been reported, I don't do it to avoid the possibility of flooding the bug database with reduntant reports. An example of this is when tar changed behaviour of the 'I' switch, or when a package can't be upgraded due to missing dependancies (like glademm, erlang and wordtrans are now), or when a package keeps redoing the same debconf questions on most updates. I only report these bugs when I see the problem persisting after a week or two. Should I always report it, instead? - Pedantic bugs Sometimes I notice something that should be different, but I don't know if it is to be considered as a bug, and I don't report it. For example, packages like skipstone, or powermanga or lxdoom appear in the Debian menus but not in the Gnome menus (is there a policy for Gnome menus?), or alsa doesn't load oss-emulation modules on demand with kernel 2.4.0+devfs (are packages supposed to correctly cope with devfs?) Should I be on the safe side and risk reporting a non-bug, or should I be on the other safe side and risk non-reporting a bug? - Non-Debian small bugs Sometimes I find small bugs that are clearly to be reported upstream, like wrong i18n translations (many, many, many of them), usability quirks or even usability suggestions, that I don't report upstream because I can't quickly find the address of the right person, and there's not an handy tool like `bug' for them, or there is, but is online, or there is, offline, but I don't know how to launch it, because every program has its own. It would be very handy to file a `whishlist' bug to the Debian BTS, knowing they are eventually reported upstream, but I don't do it to avoid flooding the BTS with non-debian-related items. Could the Debian BTS be used as a proxy service to upstream mantainers (considering that with debian-native packages it already is supposed to collect these kind of reports anyway) or we should wait for the development of a different common bug reporting system for such little issues? I would like to hear your opinion on this behaviours, to get out of Doubt into The Right Way (TM) to report bugs. Bye! Enrico -- GPG public key available on finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: bin86
That error seems to get just about everyone when compiling a kernel the first time. If you look back in the debian-user archives far enough, you'll find me asking about it. The base system is only meant to get enough of a running system so that you can then go ahead and install the rest. It should be kept that way. Tom Ken Weingold wrote: The debian.org site says that bin86 a complete 8086 assembler and loader which can make 32-bit code for the 386+ processors (under Linux it's used only to create the 16-bit bootsector and setup binaries). It is not installed in the initial Debian install. Both times I have done new installs of 2.2r2 and gone to rebuild a new kernel (from the source from kernel.org) the build has stopped with an error that it can't find as86. I install the bin86 package and run make again and it goes fine. Am I missing something else that should be there to build the kernel or is bin86 really needed?

Re: On bug reporting
Enrico Zini wrote: I would like to know if there are guidelines for bug reporting: I use debian unstable, and I find bugs, but I don't report most of them for many reasons. ... - Evident bugs I work mainly offline, so I don't have constant access to bugs.debian.org, and usually can't know when a bug has already been reported. When I find a bug in a package that is likely to already have been reported, I don't do it to avoid the possibility of flooding the bug database with reduntant reports. ... I only report these bugs when I see the problem persisting after a week or two. Should I always report it, instead? I suggest you write out a bug-report, at least in outline, and check the BTS when you can to see if it has been reported. If it is not reported, file a bug; if it is, check the bug report to see if you can add any relevant information. - Pedantic bugs Sometimes I notice something that should be different, but I don't know if it is to be considered as a bug, and I don't report it. ... Should I be on the safe side and risk reporting a non-bug, or should I be on the other safe side and risk non-reporting a bug? If you're not sure if something is a bug, you can mail package@packages.debian.org; I don't mind receiving such mails, though I don't promise to do more than read them. If you're not sure about the bug, this saves you from leaving your misunderstandings on public record! - Non-Debian small bugs Sometimes I find small bugs that are clearly to be reported upstream, ... It would be very handy to file a `whishlist' bug to the Debian BTS, knowing they are eventually reported upstream, but I don't do it to avoid flooding the BTS with non-debian-related items. Upstream bugs should be checked against the upstream bug list or TODO list or FAQ. If the behaviour is apparently unreported, report it to the Debian BTS; the maintainer should verify your report and pass it on. Some bug reports that I get are actually down to PEBKAC[1] but I don't mind that, because we all have to learn; even if the user has read and misunderstood the documentation, it is useful to know that that piece of documentation can be misunderstood. Upstream bugs are not non-Debian issues. If the package is in Debian, we have a responsibility to try and make it as good as possible.

Apache, SSL, proxy, etc.
Hello Debianers, I'm in the situation of being the only lucky person in our company with any knowledge of Linux. My skills aren't too high, though. That's why I would like to do some loud thinking about this case I'm working on, and hopefully I'll get som answers to my questions from anyone with higher skills and more experience than myself. I hope some of you have the patience to read the entire thing - it grew pretty large while i wrote it. He's my case: We run IIS on Win2KServer as application server against Oracle inside our firewall. Now we want to provide to our customers the ability to access reports and such things on that IIS via the Internet. Then there are some problems: Our firewall managers won't let any external http-requests through the firewall. To solve this problem, we're planning to run Apache on an existing Debian-box in our DMZ (We already run Apache, but only as a regular web-server). Will Apache serve as if it was the real server, or will it only do http redirection to the IIS? I guess that the latter is true. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) Then I guess I'll have to make the Apache act as a proxy server of some kind. Unfortunately my knowledge on that subject is poor. I've heard about both mod_proxy and Squid. But then the next problem arises: we need secure connections. We're hoping that we can leave the whole SSL-job to the IIS. But then I read that proxy-servers, or at least Squid, doesn't support decryption/encryption, but will only perform tunnelling of SSL-packets, all of which will have the external client's signature. And then I'm back where I started, right? -They will be stopped by the firewall. (Another assumption: Opening the firewall for https-traffic on port 443 is just as dangerous as opening for http-traffic on port 80. Again: correct me if this isn't true.) This probably means that I should turn Apache into a SSL-and-proxy-animal. I've had a look at Apache-SSL. But some recommend to use Apache and mod_ssl instead. Which one is the best, and which proxy server works best in cooperation with SSL? I appreciate any comments and suggestions on this, since I don't have any skilled discussion partner inhouse.

Looking for a driver for a sound card
I recently purchased a pci sound card for my system and haven't been able to make it work. I tried a generic Yamaha driver, based on things I read when I did a search, and when I try to insmod sb.o, I get a message saying Using /lib/modules/2.2.17/misc/sb.o Device or resource busy Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters Since it is a pci device, I don't have the ability to change the IO or IRQ parameters, I don't guess. I'm running Debian 2.2, kernel 2.2.17 configured to my machine. The card is an Xwave 4000, which gives me fits trying to find information about it by searching the web since there is a graphics program for Linux called Xwave too. I got a bunch of bad hits. Can anyone help or point me to a place I might have luck getting an answer? Thanks, Jim.

Tried that. Still didn't work. Same document No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think). says if this doesnt work, need to use Linux PnP. So, I look in xconfig. Yes, I enabled Plug-n-Pray. It says to check out pnpdump, isapnp, and isapnp.conf. So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse like in WSS mode). Whoohoo! Looking good! So I do a quick rmmod to remove my still uninitialized cs4232 module, and then do another 'insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0'.

Do you have your BIOS set to PNP OS? If so, turn it off. Think I've told you 'bout all I could think of. Well, I _have_ a Soundblaster AWE64, and a Soundblaster16(dunno if this one works -- I 'inherited' it). I'd tried the AWE64 awhile back, and it seemed like things didn't want to play nicely, even w/ the onboard sound disabled in the BIOS. The main reasons I've been trying to get the onboard sound working is a) the principle of the thing, and b) I've had it working under RH w/ sndconfig (though w/ that damn 'pop'), and flawlessly under SuSE 6.4 w/ the OSS/commercial drivers and SuSE 7.0/Mandrake 7.2 w/ whatever drivers they use.

IIRC I had to *completely* remove the IDE support, though it might work if you compile it as a module.

While it's true it's _easier_ to setup if you remove IDE CDROM support from the kernel, it's not strickly necessary.

Tried that. Still didn't work. Same document No you don't want generic WSS (only 8-bit I think). says if this doesnt work, need to use Linux PnP. So, I look in xconfig. Yes, I enabled Plug-n-Pray. It says to check out pnpdump, isapnp, and isapnp.conf. So, I dug a bit thru the manpages for those PNP shouldn't be required (though I've done it with both with no difference -- 'cept some isapnp settings will make the sound worse like in WSS mode). Whoohoo! Looking good! So I do a quick rmmod to remove my still uninitialized cs4232 module, and then do another 'insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0'. And this is what I got for my troubles: ishamael:/usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound# insmod cs4232 io=0x534 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 Using /lib/modules/2.2.18/misc/cs4232.o I ended up (as before) having to do a Cntrl+'c' to kill it to get my computer back. I tried io=0x220 as well, hoping(praying) for SB compatibility, something. Nada. /bash head against desk Any idea's suggestions, I'm open to 'em. Ugh, this is almost like work!! Maybe consider forking over a couple bucks for a couple SB LIVE soundcards? I understand they're dirt cheap and work well for what they do. I don't understand why your machine would get stuck. Do you have your BIOS set to PNP OS? If so, turn it off. Think I've told you 'bout all I could think of. Well, I _have_ a Soundblaster AWE64, and a Soundblaster16(dunno if this one works -- I 'inherited' it). I'd tried the AWE64 awhile back, and it seemed like things didn't want to play nicely, even w/ the onboard sound disabled in the BIOS. The main reasons I've been trying to get the onboard sound working is a) the principle of the thing, and b) I've had it working under RH w/ sndconfig (though w/ that damn 'pop'), and flawlessly under SuSE 6.4 w/ the OSS/commercial drivers and SuSE 7.0/Mandrake 7.2 w/ whatever drivers they use. Unfortunately, I never dug around to see 'how', since things just 'worked'. If you still have them, why don't you try to see if those OSS/commercial drivers work together with Debian? I for one would be _very_ interested to know if that works - it would probably be cheaper to buy commercial drivers for the card I have than to buy a new card (what do they charge BTW?). -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller Quidquid Latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
Re: cdrecord problems
To quote Benjamin Pharr [EMAIL PROTECTED], # I'm still having difficulties getting my cd writer to work. Here is what # I've done so far: # # Recompiled my (2.4.0) kernel with scsi-emulation and scsi # support. IDE-CDROM support is compiled in statically. # # 1. apt-get install cdrecord # 2. Added append=hdd=ide-scsi to my /etc/lilo.conf # 3. Ran lilo # 4. Added alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi to /etc/modutils/aliases # 5. Ran update-modules # # When I reboot everything seems to load just fine, no errors or anything. I # get the following messages at boot time: # # . . . # ide_setup: hdd=ide-scsi # . . . # hdd: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-408B, ATAPI CDROM drive # # When I run cdrecord -scanbus I still get no devices. If I comment out # the append in lilo.conf hdd is mentioned once more at boot time, so # something is happening, I'm just not sure what. Can anyone help me get # this thing fixed? Thanks in advance! Before people start telling you to not compile-in IDE-CDROM support, to start adding lines to lilo.conf etc., here's what I did; In the appropriate section of lilo.conf, I added: append = ignore=hdd hdd=ide-scsi The ignore=hdd tells the IDE code to ignore HDD. Trust me, it works. I know you're probably pissed at everyone else telling you to do different things, but please try this. It should work. If it doesn't, *please* let me know. :) David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori. (Either action, or death.)

RE: Firewalls and IP Maskerade
Hey, I am able to access the internet from my linux box. I tried a few sites with lynx, and they all connected. My /etc/network/interface file has the following entry when I boot up, which is sufficient to properly configure my cable modem NIC as it seems. iface eth1 inet dhcp That /etc/network/interface file is execute on start-up I gather? Could I add an entry for my other NIC? How would I do so if possible? It doesn't seem like I will need to reconfigure the eth1 NIC (since I can access the net). But if I had to and wanted to configure it has a static ip, how would I go about finding my cable modem ip (24.200.41.cablemodemIPnumber)? Finally, I tried the apt-get command. I got an error saying it could not find the packages or something. Do I have to specify where it should look for it (soruces.lists or something)?
