Re: basic question on splitting partitions
~ I have a 3.2 GB hard drive and 16-bit addressing, so it's partitioned ~ into a C drive of about 2 GB and a D drive for the rest of the space. ~ I'd like to keep Windows 95 on the C drive while I work on installing ~ Linux on D. ~ ~ From reading the installation instructions it sounded like I should ~ create a Swap partition within D. So I created a system floppy with ~ the FIPS directory on it. Upon execution it displayed the partition ~ table showing partition 1 consisting of 2047 MB and partition 2 ~ consisting of 1047 MB. It asked which partition to split, and I chose ~ 2. The resulting error message said: Can't split extended ~ partitions. FIPS can not yet split extended DOS partitions. I'm not sure if there's something I'm misunderstanding here... you already have your HDD partitioned into two, and you have windoze installed into it (which you want to keep). If that's correct, I can't see what you need fips for (unless you want to reclaim some space from your first partition). All you have to do is move any data from d: to c:, leaving thus the second partition empty, and then install Linux in the second partition. The Linux setup will take you through the right steps (including repartitioning the second drive to create both Linux swap part. and Linux native part.)

Qmail question
I'm currently using smail as a MTA, but I'd like to give another one a try as soon as I get my slink CDs delivered. I thought of giving qmail a try, but since there's no binaries (just sources), why is it packed as a .deb? will that work like a .tar.gz file, and which options should I pass to dpkg?

Real need for upgrades?
Hi, I started using Debian 1.3 for a short while, a few months later 2.0 came out, so I ordered it, and made a reinstall; now I'm waiting for 2.1 to arrive (still... damn post!), and I'll try not to reinstall, just to upgrade (that's the way it should be, right?). As I see it, releasing new versions can take place more than twice a year. While ppl are waiting for the next official release, they keep gradually upgrading their systems from the ftp server, so by the time the new release is official, they already have their systems greatly upgraded but they still re-upgrade ... and with some packages they downgrade since they already installed from the version after next. Is it all that necessary? The same goes for new kernel releases. While I see some using the very latest Linux kernels (2.2.x), others still use older versions of the kernel (2.0.2x) and they seem to be quite happy with them. Same goes for this: unless there is a specific new feature (module) in a newer kernel version, is there much point in upgrading it? With M$, OS or applications upgrades were, most times, a matter of $$$, which I hated; but this is obviously not the case here. Is there any pointer where to see what the differences from one distribution release to another are? and for kernels?

Re: New Kernel install (II)
Thanks everyone, I got lilo dual booting the two kernels. I'm having some trouble since the new kernel does not recognize hdd as a block device, and therefore I can't mount my iomega zip drive. I've checked both /boot/config-2.0.35 and /boot/config-2.0.34, and this might be the cause: # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set I thought this kernel option was this other kernel option was the one for the zip drive: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE=y Also, during booting I'm getting some warnings: can't locate modules... one of them is vfat, but I can mount a floppy with `mount -t vfat ...' ??? another is cdrom, but I can mount cdrom. I ran lsmod and got: homega:/boot$ lsmod Module PagesUsed by Are there no modules loaded??? Last, if I try to mount a DOS formatted disk, it mounts but: homega:~# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy Unable to load NLS charset cp437(nls_cp437) ^^^ ??? and the same for `mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy' `mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy' is working ok. -- Claves - GnuPG/PGP - Keys : http://www.rediris.es/cert/keyserver o/or Envía un mensaje vacío a [EMAIL PROTECTED] con la línea de asunto: Send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the subject line: Tipo de Clave/Key Type Asunto:/Subject: DSA/ElGamal fetch dsa/elgamal DSS/Diffie-Hellman fetch dh/dss RSA fetch rsa
Help! More problems compiling kernel
I'm having problems with compiling a new kernel 2.0.35 on a Debian 2.0 (2.0.34) machine. I've tried downloading the kernel a couple of times, but after `make config', `make dep', and `make clean', when I do `make bzImage', eventually I get the following error: In file included from /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/include/asm/processor.h:11, from /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/include/linux/sched.h:81,from readdir.c:11: /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/include/asm/math_emu.h:54: parse error before `' /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/include/asm/math_emu.h:55: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype make[2]: *** [readdir.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/fs' make[1]: *** [first_rule] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.35/fs' make: *** [linuxsubdirs] Error 2 homega:/usr/src/linux# Please, could you help me with this?

New Kernel install
It seems I've finally succeeded into compiling the kernel successfully (cross fingers). Now, for installation, I have to: # cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35 # cp /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map-2.0.35 # cp /usr/src/linux/.config /boot/config-2.0.35 Next, remove /vmlinuz symlink to /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.34, and create a new symlink /vmlinuz pointing to /boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35. If all this is correct so far, what's the point in running lilo to update it? In fact, lilo already point to /vmlinuz: boot=/dev/hda2 root=/dev/hda2 install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only How about the other places lilo.conf point to? /boot/boot.b and /boot/map, haven't been changed, should they?

Microsoft Corporation anuncia el próximo lanzamiento de una nueva suite de productos basados en Linux. Microsoft ha hecho público su propósito de apoyar el software de libre distribución bajo licencia GPL. Microsoft Linux Suite 2000 incluirá programas recientemente portados a Linux tan populares como Word, Excel, Access, y hasta Internet Explorer. Un portavoz oficial de MS Corp. declaró esta mañana que éste es un primer paso hacia nuestro firme propósito de soporte al desarrollo abierto. Estamos en conversaciones para contratar en Microsoft a personas tan claves en el desarrollo de Linux como pueden ser Linus Torvalds o Alan Cox; asimismo estamos estudiando el modo de desviar fondos hacia las organizaciones que hasta ahora han estado trabajando en estos proyectos, mediante la adquisición de paquetes de acciones de forma mayoritaria en proyectos varios tal como puedan ser Gnome o OpenStep de modo que puedan colaborar activamente con nuestro equipo de desarrolladores en proyectos más amplios de interfaces gráficas. Hasta el momento MS Corp. no ha dejado entrever sus intenciones en lo relativo al precio final de mercado de Microsoft Linux 2000, tan sólo se han aventurado a comentar que ... estamos estudiando la posibilidad de, en un futuro, poner a disponibilidad de centros educativos y estudiantes unas licencias especiales con ofertas especiales, probablemente basados en una versión más asequible del producto. En este aspecto, y dentro de lo que será Microsoft Linux Suite 2000, hemos hecho un esfuerzo para lanzar una versión especial, MS Linux Light 2000, que está orientada a un amplio sector del público que no requiere las prestaciones de un sistema operativo multitarea, sino tan sólo necesite de la funcionalidad y la amigabilidad de programas sólidos y estables como los que hace tiempo ofrece Microsoft. Al ser requerido insistentemente sobre el precio de los nuevos productos, el portavoz de Microsoft acabó declarando que ... no tenemos intención de incrementar precios sobre productos ya exsitentes, y como prueba de ello, seguimos adhiriéndonos a la filosofía de la Licencia Pública GNU; El usuario mantendrá el valor de su dinero con la adquisición de la suite completa. Así pues, el precio final seguirá siendo el que hasta ahora había sido para el sistema operativo Linux; no existirá un precio real añadido pues éste sólo se debe a la adquisición de la interfaz gráfica de Windows, y los programas que componían la suite de Microsoft Office. Piense en el coste actual, por separado, de todo ello y se dará cuenta de nuestra firme decisión de estabilidad en cuanto a precios. La guinda a todo esto la pone MS Internet Explorer, actualmente el navegador más rápido y seguro, que se distribuirá de forma gratuita y como parte integral de Microsoft Linux Suite Pro 2000. De modo adicional, los usuarios de Microsoft Linux Suite Light 2000 podrán adquirir el navegador de forma gratuita, aunque no integrado en la suite, sino con la compra adicional de Microsoft Internet Plus, que incluye programas para la conexión a internet y el uso del correo electrónico como sendmail, procmail, fetchmail, en combinación con MS Outlook.

But xlib6g conflicts (and replaces) xlib6 ( 3.3.2.3a-8) and xlib6g-dev ( 3.3.2.3a-2), and replaces xbase ( 3.3.2.3a-2) ... a bit too much fiddling with the x-window system?

ip-up scripts [was: Re: /etc/lynx.cfg ...]

and it wasn't me who changed them ... how is this possible?
This is how I realized:
homega:/tmp$ man man
sh: /usr/bin/pager: Permission denied
sh: exec: /usr/bin/pager: cannot execute: Permission denied
man: la orden terminó y retornó 32256: /bin/gzip -dc
'/var/catman/cat1/man.1.gz' | { export MAN_PN LESS; MAN_PN='man(1)';
LESS=$LESS\$-Pm\:\$ix8mPm Página de Manual $MAN_PN ?ltlínea %lt?L/%L.:byte
%bB?s/%s..?e (FIN):?pB %pB\\%..; exec /usr/bin/pager -s; }
homega:/tmp$
... meaning? well, I had a look at /usr/bin/pager and:
2139127680 ?r-S--S--T 65280 65280652804278255360 jun 21 1969 pager
What's going on here? why are permissions so strange? and, why is the file
so big? ok, call me a paranoid, but ... have I been hacked? on a stand
alone / dial-on-demand machine?
Deeply concerned,
Horacio.

Help with Smail, please
Some time ago I started noticing a slowdown with outgoing mail. I usually run `runq -v' to send outgoing mail. The logs on screen are usually long, and it sometimes hangs, as if it tried to reach the destination by itself. This is how long they usually look like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: vger.rutgers.edu matched by inet_hosts router: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: pinnacle.co.uk matched by inet_hosts router: routed [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] at vger.rutgers.edu transport hint mx 0 vger.rutgers.edu address hint vger.rutgers.edu 128.6.190.2 routed [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] at pinnacle.co.uk transport hint mx 50 punt-1.mail.demon.net address hint punt-1.mail.demon.net 194.217.242.35 address hint punt-1.mail.demon.net 194.217.242.34 transport hint mx 50 punt-2.mail.demon.net address hint punt-2.mail.demon.net 194.217.242.6 address hint punt-2.mail.demon.net 194.217.242.14 transport smtp uses driver tcpsmtp lock retry/smtp/punt-1.mail.demon.net lock succeeded (will defer failure) retry/smtp/punt-1.mail.demon.net transport smtp: connect to host punt-1.mail.demon.net [194.217.242.35]/smtp...connected and this is the point at which it hangs (delays), until I press ^C if it takes far too long, or it continues: unlock (success) retry/smtp/punt-1.mail.demon.net write_log:Delivered VIA:punt-1.mail.demon.net TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ORIG-TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ROUTER:inet_hosts TRANSPORT:smtp transport smtp uses driver tcpsmtp lock retry/smtp/vger.rutgers.edu lock succeeded (will defer failure) retry/smtp/vger.rutgers.edu transport smtp: connect to host vger.rutgers.edu [128.6.190.2]/smtp...connected unlock (success) retry/smtp/vger.rutgers.edu write_log:Delivered VIA:vger.rutgers.edu TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ORIG-TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ROUTER:inet_hosts TRANSPORT:smtp write_log:Completed.

Re: slackware 4.0
Steve Lamb dixit: home I run my Laptop on Debian 2.1, my main machine on some portions of Potato. My main machine runs kernel 2.2.1, my laptop 2.0.34. Functionally, they are identical to one another. I telnet in, I run X aps, no big deal. They work. I really can't tell the difference between the 2.2.1 machine and the 2.0.34 machine based on that alone. It wasn't that long ago (a few months?) that Slackware released 3.6 (2.0.35) ... isn't it two short for a new release? If it's about getting a distro with the latest kernel release, then it may be a matter of just downloading it from kernel.org and compiling it ... what am I missing anything here? Else, taking time for a distribution to solidly be built around a new kernel version is the other choice. *(actually, I'm asking here, not stating anything at all)* Sure, for the latest and greatest jockies, Slackware will beat Debian. For people who live in the real world and use their machines as more than power toys and status symbols, I don't think so. Sorry to disagree here, but that sounds more like an argument for windoze vs debian (or any other linux), rather than debian vs slackware.

Re: Debian CD Resellers?
Hamish Moffatt dixit: That IS my point -- US vendors cannot ship non-US out of the US. Most of these programs are in non-US not because they can't be used in the US (only pgp-i is in that category AFAIK), but because once they're in the US, they can't leave. Damm it!!! aren't LSL based in the US? I recently ordered 2.1 from them. OTOH, if only pgp-i falls into that category ... and there has been no new releases ever since 5.0i...

Re: Debian CD Resellers?
Of course, no US-based vendor is going to ship non-US to Rainer who's domain is .de; that's the whole point of non-US. you sure? I thought they wouldn't ship non-US to someone whose domain is a US based one. For instance, pgp, from outside the US we need to get it as pgp-i from non-US, whereas from within the US you'll get plain pgp ... which does not belong to non-US. Of course, a different issue is whether a US based vendor may ship ANY crypto related program outside the US borders.

Re: login shell
David Charro Ripa dijo: ¿Se puede hacer que el login te meta directamente en bash? En el fichero /etc/passwd aprecen los usuarios + una serie de campos asociados que indican que ese usuario tiene un directorio /home/nombreusuario y también el nombre del shell que usa. Cambialo ahí. /bin/bash... creo que la respuesta es la que da Jaime E. Villate: No. Siempre has estado en bash. Como tu mismo te respondes mas adelante, son dos formas diferentes de iniciar el mismo shell Queda claro que al iniciar, se hace con bash como shell de login, y éste lee, por este orden /etc/profile o ~/.bash_profile, y luego si existe, ~/.bash_login; mientras que si en la línea de comandos das la orden: $ bash entonces inicias bash como shell interactiva (sin importar en qué shell te encuentres en ese momento), y ésta lee ~/.bashrc, que es sólo para shell interactivas. Y de otro modo, ¿cómo puedo hacer que la shell del login lea ~/.bashrc? Creo que el .bashrc es un fichero de recursos, y ahí tienes definidas o puedes editar las propiedades que tiene el bash. [...] Creo que sólo le pasa opciones de inicialización a la shell interactiva. Jaime E. Villate dijo: pues dale la orden de leer el ~/.bashrc dentro de ~/.bash_profile Pero es conveniente mantener las dos cosas separadas. Si lo que quieres es que te aparezca el homega:~$ tambien cuando estas en un login shell, copia la definicion del prompt que tienes en .bashrc para .bash_profile Eso es lo que hice ayer, pero no me funcionó. El fallo estaba en que presupuse que al salir del bash con `exit' y volver a hacer un login, me lo reconocería. Ahora ha funcionado reiniciando el sistema. Gracias. ¿Alguien podría enviarme un ejemplo de ~/bash_login, ~/bash_logout, y ~/.inputrc?

login shell
Hola, estoy un poco liado del modo en que funcionan las shell. Si el login lo hago como usuario horacio, el prompt que obtengo es siempre: $ sin que indique nada más. Yo pensé que sería el bash ya que bash siempre va con el signo $, pero: $ bash homega:~$ y aquí resulta que las opciones que pueda tener en .bashrc me funcionan. O sea, que antes estaba en otra shell... ¿sh? (aunque la primera login shell que aparece en /etc/shells es `ash'... pero no puedo cambiar a ash invocándolo como `ash' desde la línea de comandos ... ¿porque no es una shell interactiva?). ¿Se puede hacer que el login te meta directamente en bash? Y de otro modo, ¿cómo puedo hacer que la shell del login lea ~/.bashrc? El man bash dice que cuando bash es invocado como login shell, primero lee /etc/profile, luego ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login y ~/.profile, y al salir lee ~/.bash_logout (si existe). Bueno, aquí no dice que lee ~/.bashrc, sólo si es invocada como shell no de login... ¿quiere eso decir que en realidad el login es bash y no otra? Ni ~/bash_login, ni ~/.profile, ni ~/bash_logout existen... Lo único que veo es que hay una diferencia entre el bash si es de login o si es interactivo (si se invoca desde la consola), ya que el primero no lee ~/.bashrc. Por lo demás, un lío, a ver si alguien me puede aclarar algo.

First of all, make sure you've got the xfstt from slink, not hamm. The hamm version is basically broken. Second, there are no TrueType fonts distributed with Debian. You'll need to search for them on the web, or copy them over from a Windows machine (I dont' remember where you can find the fonts in Windows, or what their name extension is...). The name extension is probably .ttf (damn it! I knew I should have kept a tiny windoze partition...).

Upgrade LyX from Potato?
I want to upgrade to LyX 1.0.1-1 from potato, since it seems slink was released still with LyX 0.12.0.final-0.1. So far upgrading packages from slink in hamm has gone ok, but of course slink wasn't unstable but frozen. Will I have any problem upgrading a hamm package with one from potato (including upgrading dependencies)? Else, would it be a good idea to uninstall my current version of LyX and installing a LyX 1.0 tarball? Also, I posted the following question a couple of days ago... every now and then, afterstep's menu config file (/etc/X11/afterstep/menudefs.hook) seems to change back to before I added new menus (from /opt). Anyway I can avoid it? TIA Horacio

Re: bitchx (sucks!) (forwarded, oops!)
Could that be because your domain is banned? I bet it is. And why? Because they had problems with people from your domain flooding, spamming and clonning on their channel. Some of the channels I ran banned entire COUNTRIES because of people like that. Now I can freely assume that #bitchx has banned me b'c of my country of origin, and feel free to spread that around. Very well, they have their right to do so (I can't assume it's b'c of my ISP domain since it's a rather new one). So far I've seen no evidence of that. So far all I've seen is a guy who does RTFM, is a clueless newbie who took a domain ban personally and is now whining publicly. No, I admit I was angry, not b'c of the ban, but the way they do it... the predisposition to punning, also the lame bit... no problem, I paid nothing for bitchx, so I won't complaint. Now, excuse me if I'd rather not follow this argument with someone who is eager to take a complaint for a whine. You know, some (many) Linux / Debian users find a barrier other than veterany when it comes to understand things, we usually read the documentation available in a language other than ours... but of course, that's not your problem.

Re: Repartition
Mark Yobb dixit: A rough step by step would help me out a whole bunch. Thanks You might copy the whole filesystem (or by directories) to a different location. That depends on whether you have an empty partition where to do this, or a tape drive like a zip drive. A straight forward method would be by using the `cp' (copy) command or, if you have not enough space available you could use `tar' (to archive and compress). In either case you should keep in mind the need to preserve file and directories permissions as they are, as well as to copying symbolic links as such, and not as files. This can be achieved by passing the `a' option to the copy command (`cp -a'), or the `preserve' option to the tar command (`tar --preserve') (I haven't tried it with tar, but in theory, ^ `tar --preserve -zcvvf filename' should work). You should have a thorough reading of the Hard-Disk-Upgrade mini-howto, as Tom Pfeifer suggested. Also, have a look at `man cp' and `man tar'. Now, if you change the partition you will have to reflect this on your /etc/fstab file. For instance, if you currently have the entire Linux on /dev/hda2, and decide to make several logical partitions out of it, so that different partitions hold different directories, then you should change /etc/fstab to something like this: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point type options dump pass /dev/hda2 / ext2defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 noneswapsw 0 0 proc/proc procdefaults0 0 /dev/hda4 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda5 /home ext2defaults0 2 /dev/hda6 /usr/local ext2defaults0 2 /dev/hda7 /varext2defaults0 2 For all the above you will need a boot disk with which to run fdisk, repartition, and then replacing the filesystem. A more secure way to do this would be to just copying those directories where you have your personal data, such as /home, /root, /etc, (probably /var, and /usr/local if you have installed programs there)... then resizing the partition and reinstalling Debian. After that, you'll just have to replace the directories you want to preserve. This way is more secure and less painful, in my opinion. Whichever method you choose (the ones mentioned, those in Hard-Disk-Upgrade mini-howto, or else) plan it carefully before starting, as you risk loosing data or worst if you make a silly mistake. Finally, wait for some more insights on this message, since I do decline all responsibility on any damages this may cause. One problem I did find was that `cp -a' did not preserve /tmp and /var/tmp permissions (drwxrwxrwt), and since some programs could not write to them (eg. mutt), they would not properly work until I restored them to their original permission by hand. Good luck, Horacio.
