Re: Replicating setup
Hi, dpkg --get-selections > file and dpkg --set-selections < file will only _install_ packages installed on "source" machine, it will not purge any packages on the "target" machine which are not installed on the "source". Thus the packages on "target" might be a superset of those on "source". I use to use: dpkg --get-selections \* > file Regards, Chris
debian CDs
Hi, Is there anybody out there who managed to create slink CDs using slink_cd-1.13 scripts and is willing to give me some assistance? I used to burn bo and hamm disks for me and my friends now, I'm having problems with slink. I must be getting old :-( Please contact me using privat mail, the list is noisy enough, I will summarize afterwards. Maybe a mini-mini-HOWTO :-) Regards, Chris

Check this one: http://www.it.kth.se/~pme/sunkbd.html You will find there a rather sparse description of a converter which should do the job. Although the circuit might look easy it requires from you some amount of electronic skill. If you don't have it do what I did: find a friend who has some :-) Seriously speeking, few days ago I built the converter and yesterday evening managed to program the eeprom in the microcontroller. This morning I gave it to a professional for debugging because it doesn't work :-( I will let you know as soon as there is some progress. > > -- > /Jörgen Hägg > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Regards, Chris Chris Osicki ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) GfAI - Group for Applied Informatics Ltd.

Debian 1.2 and XFree86 X-Server 3.2
Hi, Please forgive me if this question has been answered before. Is there anybody out there running XFree86 server with Debian 1.2 on a ThinkPad 760E in 800x600 mode?

RE: Latest rescue disk locks up Thinkpad
Hi Debian friends, I have just manage to boot and load the base system (debian 1.2) on a ThinkPad 760E, which doesn't boot from standard rescue floppy. I build a zImage (2.0.27) and replace the linux on the rescue floppy with it. Then I mounted /dev/fd0 on /mnt and did rdev /mnt/linux /dev/ram The thinkpad booted fine, however, during the device drivers installation several messages about unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.27 have been reported. Anyway, it an improvement :-) I am going to try to get PCMCIA Ethernet card to work and see if I can install the whole thing. I put the rescue image, kernel config file and the kernel I used to boot the thinkpad on my ftp-server ftp.gfai.ch/pub/thinkpad.

SIGSEGV in free()
Hi, I am a new Debian user. Just finished my second Debian 1.2 (stable) installation (in two days :-) The strange thing I noticed was a kind of looping in dselect, at least twice I saw him "Replacing gcc" etc. The real problem appeared later: # dump 0f - / DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING! Segmentation fault (core dumped) # gdb /sbin/dump core Core was generated by `dump 0f - /'. Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. Reading symbols from /lib/libext2fs.so.2.1...done.
