Joder, que infografía más total. La idea es tener una distribución casi preparada para el release permanentemente, y que no pase lo que ha ocurrido con Potato, que al congelar había más de 300 bugs críticos. Como? Los paquetes ahora se suben sólo a unstable. Ahí, la gente que usa esa distribución los testea. Si nadie les pone un rcbug durante 14 días, pueden pasar a ser aptos para `testing'. Un script mira los paquetes de unstable, y ve que foo tiene 14 días de vida y ningún rcbug. Mira las dependencias, ve que no hay ningún problema, y automáticamente coge el paquete y lo instala en testing. Esto es la idea básica, y se supone que testing sólo debería tener unos 10 bugs críticos permanentemente. Me parecen pocos, pero vamos, no serán 300 :) Tiene problemas, si algún paquete saca versiones or revisiones cada menos de 14 días, nunca llegará a testing, o el posible caso de que todo el mundo que usa unstable ahora se pase a testing ya que es mucho más seguro (aunque siempre quedará la gente que no puede esperar 2 semanas), y otros temas similares.

Linux renice, prioridades y grabacion multipista.
Estimada lista de debian: Les presento mi caso para ver si teiene idea de como solucionar este problema: Tengo un Debian Woody en una pc PII 350 64mb ram y un disco IDE de 10gb bastante veloz. el hecho es que desea hacer grabaciones multipista utilizando ecasound (un soft GPL modo consola) y mi placa Pinnacle Multisound. Todo funciona bien salvo el hecho de que en su distribucion democratica de los tiempos de proceso el kernel crea asincronias entre lo grabado y lo en ejecucion... lo cual es simplemente nefasto. Intenté usar renice sin exito para dar mayores prioridades a la aplicacion de grabacion de sonido... pero no logre hacer nada bueno. En windows (cuando tenia windows en una P120 con 32mb ram) usaba un programa que lograba hacer esto sin inconvenientes, lo cual es sin duda debido a que windows no defragmenta el disco mientras se graba en el permitiendo que las aplicaciones usen a su antojo el 100% de la CPU como en el DOS.

swap partition too small
In trying to conserve the little hard disk space (110M) that I have, I have unfortunately made the swap partition too small when installing Debian. I know I should probably pay penance and do the install all over again, but am wondering if there is a way to carve out a portion of the hard disk for swap at this stage of the game. Something like a fips that can shrink a Linux partition. No? Just thought I'd ask before reinstalling... Tony Laszlo Tokyo

Something like a fips that can shrink a Linux partition. No? Just thought I'd ask before reinstalling... You can use files for swap space as well, so if you really don't want to repartition, you could just add more swap by using a file. I've never actually done it before, but I'd imaging you'd want to do something like this: (this will give you a file 4Mb large, containing all 0's, in the root directory) # dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1k count=4096 (format it as a swap file) # mkswap /swapfile 4096 (flush the disk cache) # sync (put it to use) # swapon /swapfile To automatically use it on boot: Edit the /etc/fstab file and add the line: /swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0 It should work... you might have to play around with the mount options though.

Whereas if you have another device controlling your link, then use that device's IP as your default gateway. You may need to configure said device to accept/route/proxy/etc your IP. Look at [start] -- settings -- control panel -- Network then click on the /Protocols\ tab then double click TCP/IP then click on the /Gateway\ tab then note the IP for the gateway. There may be more than one, but the top one is the primary. Then go to your debian machine, and edit /etc/networks/interfaces Mine looks like this # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional) iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 (yes - that third paragraph was a dig at NT toadies, and I have two of the bloody things at work.)

Re: user space nfsd?
Can someone enlighten me? The remote machines to which I have access are all Solaris, not Debian. What is userspace nfs and how do I set it up? Or, where can I get the source for Solaris nfsd and will it work if I'm not root? Presumably I will need to use some arbitrary non-privileged port; will Linux mount(8) understand this? -chris HUH?!!! knfsd has problems afaik but I find this very difficult to believe.

Re: Debian + other distribution
Hi debian community, Well, I erased all on my HD and installed just RedHat, Now I want to install Debian 2.2 without erase RedHat. My question is about lilo. On the installation of RedHat I installed lilo on the MBR. But my version of lilo is a bit old. So I prefer to use Debian's lilo. How should I proceed to do this? I thought in install Debian's lilo on it's partition and live RedHat's lilo on the MBR, so I would use my old lilo ( I think it wouldn't be so bad). Maybe I erase RedHat's lilo and install Debian lilo's on the MBR and configure it's lilo.conf too boot both distro's. If I install two lilos, one on the MBR and the other on debian's partitions this won't confuse the computer on the boot? What should I do? I'd like that you explain it step by step.

Well, I ditched dhcp last night and tried setting up the ethernet card with just ifconfig and a static IP. I got the same kernel complaints. So, it's not dhcp.

Re: lilo
It's just how lilo works.
There is a hint in the manpage as to a case you may want to be in a
different directory other than your / directory (the -r switch, which
does a chroot to the dir you specify). The example given where this may
be useful is if you are repairing a setup from a boot floppy.
