DOS Fdisk doesn't see Linux partitions
I recently asked for ideas about moving Debian to another disk, and got some good suggestions. I decided to use Paul Serice's excellent procedure he has on his page at http://lac.laci.net/pweb/ugs/mini_howto.html Almost everything went well. I moved the Linux partitions from the second IDE disk to the first, then made the [original] first drive the slave, and added a large first drive. I partitioned the first drive (/dev/hda) into 3 DOS partitions. In my original configuration, the second drive had only LInux partitions on it. Under the new configuration I wanted to use the first part of the slave [Linux] drive for DOS. I partitioned it this way: /dev/hdb1 375MBytes DOS /dev/hdb2 128Mbytes Linux (root) /dev/hdb3 100MBytes Linux (swap) /dev/hdb4 remainder of disk (/usr) There are two strange things happening now. Dos reports the DOS partition on the second drive as D:, then the second and third partitions on the first drive as E: and F:. I am confused why the partition on the second drive would appear before the second and third partitions of the first drive. Also, DOS reports that D: (the dos partition on the second drive) as being 1.2Gigs -- that is how big the whole drive is. DOS doesn't see the Linux partitions there at all. I know they are there, I am running them right now as I type this! What is going on? How can I fix this so I get the correct amount of disk space reported for the DOS partition on my Linux drive? BTW I have the Linux drive set up for LBA in the [AMI]BIOS, and the DOS drive is set up for Extended CHS. I hope someone can help me figure this out!

You used to get problems like these if you turned off PCI, but compiled in a driver that used PCI, like some of the network cards. (I'm recalling this from the 1.2.x days.)

Re: Message for Dale Scheetz and sendmail question for list
Sounds like you don't have a domain set in sendmail config file. Pine would have nothing to do with this particular error since it uses the local transport (normally). You could also insure that you do have localhost set as smtp host in pine setup. If you have your ISP's host set in pine as smtp host then it is pine. In that case either change it to localhost or insure the domain is set just above that entry, I belive. I haven't seen the entire thread, but I hope this helps. On Sun, 11 May 1997, Jaldhar H.

core dump disable
Hi, I have a commercial package for statistics installed on my debian system. This is primarily for interactive use but because my programs take a long time I run it using the nohup command in the background. The problem is that after the program finishes its calculations and before it exits it dumps core. This is highly likely caused by a bug in the comercial package. The results are not affected. However, the core dumps are large since the workfile of the program is dumped ( around 60 Mb ). Getting the commercial company to do something about this didn't achieve much. So I would like to know if there is away to disable core dumps for this specific program or if this is not possible disable core dumps completely. I don't get any core dumps apart from those anyway. I would appreciate any help on this very much.

Do this just before you run your stats program. or put it in your ~/.bashrc (or your preferred shell's startup script). e.g. ulimit -c 0 it's a bash built-in command (and in other shells too), so you can get quick help on it: $ help ulimit ulimit: ulimit [-SHacdflmnpstuv] [limit] Ulimit provides control over the resources available to processes started by the shell, on systems that allow such control.

Otherwise, the current value of the specified resource is printed. If no option is given, then -f is assumed.

Re: core dump disable
I don't think it's possible to disable core dumps, but I'm not sure. I just thought I'd give you an idea I thought of when reading your post. Why don't you run this program from a RAM disk? Mount a ramdrive and copy the program that dumps core to it. Make sure the program saves the product to a real partition. When It dumps core on the ramdrive it will not have enough room to save the core file. I don't know if core goes to /tmp in this situation but it's worth a shot if there's no way to disable core dumps. I also wonder if a redirect command can be used to send the core output to /dev/null? I've not heard of this so maybe someone with knowledge of core dumps can tell us if redirecting (2,) will redirect a core dump? I would be interested in knowing myself. On Sun, 11 May 1997, G.

/home, /usr/local, / and /whatelse?
Thanks to pointers from replies to my earlier messages about dselect, I now understand how to install software on Debian. The key is to use dpkg and install things without the whole dselect rigamarole. The biggest discovery I've made is the list of packages on the Debian web site. That lets you point and click your way through all the packages you think you want and examine their dependancies. That makes dpkg a piece of cake (once I read the FAQ, of course - amazing how much that helps ;-). As soon as I get my hands on a Debian 1.2.8 CD distribution (has anyone used the Greenbush service? 18 bucks for three monthly 2-CD sets seems like a bargain) I'm ready to install Linux for real and start using it. I've read The Linux Partition mini-HOWTO, which is excellent but mostly covers stuff in detail that I already knew at least in a general sense. What I need to know is the canonical set of mount points or file systems or whatever they're called. In the past, Unix systems I've used have been pretty monolithic - everything in one or two partitions (plus swap). This may not be optimum. In particular, I see references to /usr/local (whatever that is) and /home (that one I'm familiar with from workstations I used years ago) being on their own partitions - separate from the root and swap partitions. Is there a HOWTO or something that outlines the current conventional wisdom about partitions? If not, can somebody clue me in as to what /usr/local and so forth are used for and why they might be separate. It seems like it may have something to do with sofware that you keep up to date with the Debian package system (most everything I need) as opposed to stuff you compile yourself since it isn't available in a .deb package (at least a couple things I know I'll need fall in this category). I don't want a dozen partitions (wouldn't fit on my one 3.2GB disk anyway) but I also don't want to combine stuff that is hard to sort out later. - Brent Hutto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think I know the answer to this already, BUT is it possible to run a secondary DNS through an IP masq firewall? Just wondering since I'm about to network my home systems via an IP masq firewall and would rather use one of my other systems as secondary. I haven't researched IP masq firewalling yet. Is this the BEST way to put a machine on the net without it's own IP? --Rick [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

magicfilter entry for pdf files?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Does anyone have a magicfilter entry to print pdf files using acroread or gv? I am printing to a HP ljet3 but I can figure out the ljet3 specifics myself. Is there more than one offset/magic combination for various pdf files? I looked into /etc/magic for entries regarding pdf files, but don't exactly know how to map them into a magicfilter config file. The pdf entries in /etc/magic are for reference: #-- # pdf: file(1) magic for Portable Document Format # 0 string %PDF- PDF document 5 bytex \b, version %c 7 bytex \b.%c #-- Cheers, Colin. - -- Colin R.

Sad to say I can only offer this very general advice (which you may already have heard and followed; in that case ignore me ;-) Always delete and create partitions with the corresponding OS's fdisk, ie create/delete DOS/95 partitions with DOS fdisk etc. In particular DOS/95 can get confused and write on disk areas it's not supposed to touch... _Beware_ of running DOS/95 while it thinks the entire hdb is DOS, it might very well overwrite Linux stuff... About the ordering; are the later partitions on hda extended/logical instead of primary? Could be that DOS lists primary partitions before extended/logical ones... Not that I'm sure, only use 2 DOS/95 partitions myself and they're hda2 and hdc1 (hdb is CD-player) /Michael -- |Linux: Turn on...Tune in...Fork out... | |Michael Tempsch, member of Ballistic Wizards, TIP#088, TDGP#20 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Cell.Phone:+46 705487554 URL:http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d1temp | Thanks for the reply, Michael. This is really odd, but as it turns out, only the Win95 file utilities like Explorer, Winfile, chkdsk and Scandisk report the full Gig as belonging to DOS. If I run DOS fdisk, it shows the DOS partition as being the correct size (375 Megs) and it also shows 3 non-dos partitions. Fortunately I still have the old disk with my original Debian setup on it; if I have to I will start fooling around with dos/linux fdisk and see what happens.

Re: Speak-Freely with a half-duplex sound card
David Nowak: I tried to use Speak-Freely but it is compiled for a full-duplex sound card. How can I use this package with my half-duplex sound card without to have to recompile it ? It should work fine. I use it with my half-duplex card. You run sfspeaker first, then sfmike. Sfspeaker only uses the sound card when sound is being received. Sfmike defaults to letting you toggle between talk and listen modes with the space bar.

Re: Message for Dale Scheetz and sendmail question for list
Sounds like you don't have a domain set in sendmail config file. Ok, I thought as much. How do I change it? I tried running /usr/sbin/sendmailconfig again but that didn't help. And one look at the size of the O'Reilly sendmail book was enough to put the fear of God in me! Pine would have nothing to do with this particular error since it uses the local transport (normally). You could also insure that you do have localhost set as smtp host in pine setup. If you have your ISP's host set in pine as smtp host then it is pine. In that case either change it to localhost or insure the domain is set just above that entry, I belive. Theres a line in pine.conf that says: # List of SMTP servers for sending mail. If blank: Unix Pine uses sendmail. smtp-server= I've left it blank. So I think sendmail is where my problem lies. -- Jaldhar -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

One thing that irked me with Red Hat is that once I had customized my system, upgrading became a nightmare. I'm currently running both on separate partitions but once I migrate everything over to Debian, the Red Hat partition will go away.
