It wants to use /dev/hda3, /, for boot, and has no option to change to /dev/hda1. I took a look at it, and it indeed assumes that if you want to boot off linux partition, then you want it to be /. You may want to submit a bug against lilo. Your only option is to edit /etc/lilo.conf and make it something like this: boot=/dev/hda root=/dev/hda3 install=/boot/boot.b read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux Then you should run lilo and reboot Note that this will install lilo into MBR. If you don't want to do that, and want to leave the debian mbr block in there (the thing that produces 123FA at times), you can take a look at /usr/sbin/liloconfig (perl script) and see the weird ways it handles it :-). Also, see /usr/doc/mbr. However, I don't see a reason debian does this anyway, I was once told that the reason is because mbr is safer than lilo. -- Proudly running Debian Linux!

SCSI Linux IDE Win95 on same box?

I already have Win95 on the IDE disk I want to use, and want to install the SCSI disk. Do I need to do anything special to get it to boot properly?

Only because Nathan I opened my mouth, not because I know all the answers) I agree that debian documentation should become more accessible, but I'm not sure if a faq posted to the mailing list regularly is near enough.

One good place to find the debian faq or user's guide in addition to the mailing list would be to have it included in the debian menu system..perhaps a tk or lynx interface (something simple) ? A lot of the /usr/doc files are likewise afflicted, and would also benefit by being made more accessible..perhaps whatever interface the debian document menu system uses to access the faq or user's guide could be setup with a link to the other /usr/doc files? Additionally, a list archive search tool would serve to augment the faq and user's guide by dynamically providing the most up to date solutions, reducing the volume of the list, the load on those who answer the questions, and with debian posed to strike at a broader market share, a search engine would serve to aid and abed new debians by providing good as mailing list support without having to correctly enter the request or wait for the correct response; particularly important to new debians who are intimidated, frustrated, or overwhelmed, but also invaluable for mission critical debians, as well as debians who wants to find the response to that question they vaguely remember skimming last week sometime.

Re: Q's about upgrading to hamm
So of those not so easily confused as the rest of us may well correct this. I also have done the force on libc6 but think that it has something to do with just exactly which 'old' libc5 is on your system. _If_ I remember correctly, you can not install the libc5 from hamm first because it _definately_ depends upon libc6. Maybe some can confirm this, but if you don't upgrade to the latest bo then there is a chance that you might not have exactly the expected response when using the libc5-libc6 mini-HOWTO. For the time (actually times since I had a similar problem with the hamm/m68k version) that I did force, I followed the HOWTO exactly until the force and then immediately upgraded each of the conflicting packages before continuing with the HOWTO and that seemed to work without further problem. best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] --Please note [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not work-- --nor does anyone@anyhost.wconsult.com-- ==and yes eventually I'll get the mailer figured out== from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!

Overmind is a P90, 2.0.32 and is fairly well synced with Hamm. Modutils is 2.1.55-4. Current uptime is almost 13 days. The machine was idle at the time. I've been unsubscribed from linux-kernel since before 2.0.32 came out, so I don't know if this problem has been discussed over there. I just resubscribed.

Q's about upgrading to hamm
Christopher Jason Morrone writes: Ok, I'd like to upgrade to hamm, because there are some things there that I need. I'm following the libc5 to libc6 howto, but I've got a couple questions/comments. The first conflict arose when I tried to install the second package, libc6_2.0.5c-0.1 . It conflicted with the pthreads package. No biggy, I just got rid of the threads. First, upgrade your already installed packages to their equivalent hamm version. So, start by upgrading ldso, and dpkg. Then upgrade libc5, and remove all *-dev packages (and dependant packages). Now, you can install libc6, and then upgrade 'base' and 'admin' packages, and be aware to install the 'g' packages, i.e. ncurses3.4g etc. And if you have X installed, you may need to remove them before you can upgrade to xlib6g. Anyways, you will have to reinstall all of them, because X packages for xlib6 won't work with xlib6g. I run all hamm, and it works _quite_ well here... a few bugs, and a few bad packages once in a while though.

Well, below I give you what I think is a full set of packages needed to
compile a kernel, but why are you doing this? I don't believe you when
you say that you need to recompile a kernel to get mouse support -
debian's default 1.3.1 kernel has support for Ps2 mice and bus mice
compiled as modules for the kernel. When you went through the setup
process, do you remember a screen that asked you to load various device
driver modules (scsi, network cards, etc.)? My guess is that you didn't
select the appropriate device driver module for your particular mouse.
Install the modconf package and (as root) run modconf. See if you can't
find your modules under the section misc. That's much less painful than
recompiling a kernel can be.
When I go to /usr/src/linux and type
'make config' I just get a bash error message saying that the make
command was not found. Arggg The HOWTOs and FAQs do mention how
to configure and compile the source, but they say nothing about
obtaining 'make config' which is essential to the process. I tried
installing all the packages I thought were relevent, such as gcc, but
nothing works
To compile a kernel, you need at least:
the 'make' package
the 'gcc' package
the 'libc5-dev' package (well, maybe you can get away without this one,
now that I think about it)
the 'binutils' package
the 'bin86' package
kernel source (either from one of the kernel-source packages or from a
.tar.gz file downloaded from ftp.kernel.org)
The 'kernel-package' package, while highly recommended, is not technically
necessary. However, it makes the whole process of compiling and
installing a new kernel much less painful.
If you want to do the menu-based configuration ('make menuconfig' instead
of 'make config'), you'll need the ncurses3.0-dev package.
The X-windows based configuration requires some TK-dev package and I think
some tcl-dev package as well. (And, of course, a working X windows)
But again, I don't believe that you need to do this. Try modconf first.

URGENT: installation problem
Dear Debian User Friends, Hi and greetings from Natal, Brazil. I have an installation problem with Debian. My problem is urgent because I recently came to do research here at the physics department at the federal university here, and obtained permission to install Debian GNU/Linux on one of their PCs here on thursday. The expectations here are very high and this is the first machine here to have linux, so I am very anxious to make sure that Debian works properly by monday. This is a test case, since many people at the dept are interested in switching from win-95 to linux, but are inherently apprehensive about switching. If I don't fix this problem by monday, other professors here will all come to find out, and I will have to answer many questions Thus, if any of you have had problems similar to mine, or know how to fix it, I would be super grateful. Thanks. ^_^ PROBLEM: everything goes very smoothly (monitor and keybd configuration, partitioning the hard drive, activiating the swap and llinux partitions, installing the kerner and drv modules, configuring the dev drivers and the network) until I come to install the base system (from floppy). Here it says it reads all disks correctly but then gives an error while installing. Most often, the error is the following: error in archive format there was a problem extracting from the drivers floppy /dev/fd0 WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM: I tried making new floppies. I made entirely new floppies, and I also downloaded the files via binary mode ftp to see if the browser downloaded it corrently. The files match perfectly, and make me think it is not really a floppy problem, although it could be. I tried 4 copies of the drivers disk, written like all others using rawrite2. The error is pretty consistent each time. Once, the error re-initialized the installation program before I could read the error. From the corner of my eye, I thought the error message said something like ...sbin... could not create...config.sh ... where the words need not be in the same order. Also, it was much too fast for me to see. But most often, the error msg was the one I mentioned above, i.e. error in archive format, there was a prblem extracting from teh drivers floppy I also went and made sure all BIOS settings like shadow ram and caches were all disabled. But this did not change anything. The same error recurrs. SOME IDEAS: I downloaded the files each time from a dir called /stable/disks-i386/current each time, from the Sao~ Paulo site at ftp://linux.if.usp.br/pub/mirror/Debian Could the problem be with the site by any chance? i.e. should I try a different mirror site, say, in the US , germany or Israel? Which is fastest?) Also, should I try to get the files from the directory other than current? I.e. is it a little older and hence more stable? What I will try meanwhile it to copy the bin and base-1_3.tgz files into the hard drive using a linux shell and mounting the floppy with mount -t msdos. Then, I will try the kernel and base installations from hard disk instead of floppy. I am not too optimistic about this though, since the problem does not seem to be the floppies. I will keep tryinjg different things until monday, and would greatly appreciate any advice/help you can afford me. I thank you very much for your kind consideration. :) Gandhi Viswanathan Dept of Physics UFRN Natal, Brazil -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: URGENT: installation problem
I forget where current is linked, but isn't it to unstable? Anyway, here is my solution: 1) boot dos off a floppy with networking, and use dos fdisk. Make a dos partition where you want your swap partition. 2) go to an ftp, and cd /debian/stable/disks-i386 download resc1440.bin, drv1440.bin, and base1_3.tgz, and rawrite2.exe into the dos/swap partition. 3) use rawrite to make rhe resc1440 disk. 4) boot go through installation, but skip the swap at the beginning. You will probably have to advance from stage to stage manually, rather than relying on the correcct defaults (i think it will keep trying to do the swap). *DO NOT* use linux fdisk to delete this swap partition! I didn't believe this warning, and had to go through a format/unformat sequence on both os's to fix things. Also note that after you tell it that the drivers are on /dev/hda2, this directory stays mounted. so when it asks where to find the base files, the answer is on the already mounted file system /instmount [i'd call this a bug, as it's not intuitive]. 5) reboot under dos. run fdisk to remove the partition 6) reboot under debian. AFter entering the new root password, but before using dselect when it's offered, use alt-f2 to switch screens. Login as root, and use fdkisk to create the swap partition. after making it, you can use option t to change from type ext2 to type swap (82, iirc). then type swapon /dev/hda2 (assuming it was the second partition). 7) edit /etc/fstab to add the line /dev/hda2 noneswapsw 0 0 so that your swap will be automounted in the future. 8) alt-f1 will take you back to the first screen, and you may happily choose which packages you want. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: 3FA: ???
Hello , While installing Debian , I come across the same situation. But I get :4Fa .I guess it is due to the installation script when it tries to make Linux bootable from harddisk . I corrected it through lilo.conf and then I run lilo . By doing so I get what I want . I set the delay to 200 .so boot map(?) will look for left space . but if i press left space during the booting (continuously) , I get the 4FA: and then by pressing Enter I get LILO waiting as it should do . I do not get the same problem when I do not ask for linux to be made bootable from the harddisk during installation and then do it manually later . So i guess it is due to installation script . However I have not checked the source code and hence I am not sure about it .

NFS: mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered
I'm trying to get NFS working between two PCs hooked up with a paralell cable. The networking itself seems to work: ping, telnet and FTP work as expected. I can mount the root directory of the second PC (judy) on the first (kilu), but not the other way around. The error I get is: mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered As far as I can tell the configuration on both sides is equivalent: kilu:/etc/exports: / judy (ro) judy:/etc/exports: / kilu (ro) kilu: ps -axu | grep rpc: daemon 118 0.0 0.7 832 368 ?

I can mount judy on kilu with: kilu: mount judy:/ /mnt -t nfs ...but going the other way: judy: mount kilu:/ /mnt -t nfs .. gives the above error (no matter what order I do the commands, or start up the PCs).

Re: 'make config' issues.
Excerpts from debian: 6-Dec-97 Re: 'make config' issues. by Oliver
Elphick@lfix.co
I apologise for this newbie question but what do I do to get 'make
config' to exist? I installed Debian several days ago and just learned=
today that the reason why my mouse doesn't work is because I need to
compile support into the kernel. When I go to /usr/src/linux and type
'make config' I just get a bash error message saying that the make
command was not found. Arggg The HOWTOs and FAQs do mention ho=
w
to configure and compile the source, but they say nothing about
obtaining 'make config' which is essential to the process. I tried
installing all the packages I thought were relevent, such as gcc, but
nothing works
It sounds as if you need to install the make package.
I am assuming that you have read all the other advises from this dlist.
But before you try any of them, I would make sure that the make
command is in your path. To test this, you type which make on the
console. This will tell you if you have make command or not. If nothing
shows up after you typed the command, type
cd /
find . -name 'make'
this will search your harddrive for make commands, If it finds the
command, you don't need to install the make packages, just add the
directory leading to the make command to your path. The way to do that
depends on the shell you are using. I am using tcsh, so I would type
setenv PATH ${path}:The directory to add
This will enable you to use the make command. If the search for make did
not turn up anything, you have to install the make packages, but I don't
think this is the case because you said you installed all the packages.
And also one more thing, you said you can get the mouse to work, there
might be a very simple solution to this. On some linux distributions,
the mouse link is not setup correctly. To check this:
cd /dev
ls -l mouse
this will tell you if you have the mouse linked to the right device. If
you have a serial mouse on COM1 in dos, you want this file to link to
/dev/cua0. I don't really know about which devices are busmouses and
other types of mouses, but I believe you can get this info on
www.linux.org. If the mouse is not linked to the device, the simplest
solution is just link it yourself. For a serial mouse on COM1, you type
ln -s -f /dev/cua0 mouse
This might solve your problem of not finding the mouse device. The
reason why I believe this is the case is that most of the distributions
should have common serial, bus, etc. mouse support build in since X
windows needs mouse to work, and X windows although very slow, is an
essential part of linux distribution. :)
I hope this can get you started in the right direction.

There's a very real need for an MTA that blocks spam relays right now, it's a steadily growing problem. Soenke told me that he's going to release a new version this weekend.

RE: truncating files
Try this one: foo or, for multiple file names: for xxx in * do $xxx done where * is any regular expression or: for xxx in a b c d e f g.c h.o g.txt ... do $xxx done If your finger are lazier than that, I'm afraid I can't help ;-) On 06-Dec-97 Carl Mummert wrote: Is there already a (standard) utility on a linux box to truncate a file to 0 bytes?

Re: e2fsprogs
Hi, How does one move to the libc6 e2fsprogs without using force in dpkg ? I tried installing commer2g and dpkg tried removing e2fsprogs. How does go about upgrading ? You should install e2fsprogsg. This name change is a bug in itself (appending g is for the libc6-based shared libraries, not programs) , and the maintainer will soon release a new e2fsprogs package which will have the old name. -- Proudly running Debian Linux!

Re: 'make config' issues.

On some linux distributions, the mouse link is not setup correctly. To check this: cd /dev ls -l mouse this will tell you if you have the mouse linked to the right device. If you have a serial mouse on COM1 in dos, you want this file to link to /dev/cua0. Actually you want /dev/ttyS0. The /dev/cua0 devices are obsolete and might go away sometime. I prefer to set the mouse directly to the port it's on, so when I run gpmconfig I say /dev/psaux (a PS/2 bus mouse) for Where is your mouse?, then ps2 for What type is your mouse?. (If I start using a different mouse port, it will probably have a different protocol anyway.) I've put auto in /etc/modules, and the psaux driver module gets loaded automatically. -- Carey Evans * http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ gc Trust Ivanova. Trust yourself.
