[Unattended] CVS from behind a firewall
I have been trying to implement updates via CVS, but our local Government firewall is pretty severe, and that combined with their proxy means I am having problems Can anybody point me at a resource that will help me get through this from a Linux box at my end?

Re: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup
Title: AW: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup OK - We have success. I did not have smartdrv as part of the download, and my DOS version refused to work - I guess some MS version checking - So I downloaded lbacache-24jul2004.zip from the freedos site, extracted lbacach.com tried that instaead, which worked with no additional switches required. I then renamed it to smartdrv.com so that the autoexec file could be used unmodified (and so I don't forget to make the change at the next update) tested again it still works. I have modified the autoexec to remove the search for the install media, this was stopping my machines proceeding because of 4 USB card readers installed. I have one machine type left to figure out now, it has a faulty PXE stack that crashes the network boots (and always did before as well) and the boot disk reboots everytime it calls tcptsr so I shall have to hand build a boot disk I think :-( Thanks for your help Kevin Lawry - Original Message - From: Thomas Köberlein To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 11:04 PM Subject: AW: [Unattended] File copy fails in second stage of setup Hi,test this please:smartdrv.exe /x /u in autoexec.batThis worked for me.

Re: [Unattended] CVS from behind a firewall
There's always httptunnel, but defeating a firewall could have serious repercussions. Especially if they have gone to so much trouble to set up a severe one.

Re: [Unattended] dl380 / test bootdisk 4.4
jonathan [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: re: test bootdisk 4.4: no drivers for cpqarray load at boot: no /dev/ida/c0d0. no drive. This should be easy to debug. Please run this command after the failure and send me the output: lspci -n | grep 'Class 01' post-boot module load doesn't make the disk available; parted can't see it. That is not surprising because loading the module does not create the device nodes. What does ls /sys/block show before and after you load the module by hand? this is the same problem with the 4.3 linux boot disk. note that this module isn't included on the iso in the version of the 4.4 testboot that i've got. it is on the 4.3 linuxboot. That is strange, because that is not something which changed between 4.3 and 4.4. In both cases, /lib/modules/.../cpqarray.ko is a symlink to /z/linuxaux/lib/modules/.../cpqarray.ko, which lives out on the install share. re: fdisk and smartarray drive. i've tried a variety of combinations of fdisk options with the dos-boot scripts, trying to preserve the compaq system partition, including wiping it and recreating space for it with fdisk (something like /pri:19 /spec:18; /prio:2000 /activate 2) with various freedos versions up to ~1.3. nothing i've done, allows me to preserve the compaq partition. Your best bet is to partition by hand. Then: 1) Delete all of the partitions other than the utility partition. 2) Create a new primary 4000M FAT32 partition. 3) Mark it active. From there, you should be able to format the drive and install without too much trouble. Hm. It seems that many systems (Dell, Compaq) come with these utility partitions nowadays. And they are not easy to recreate once you delete them. Maybe we should have better support for preserving them...
