Re: Debian Mini CD bootable?

The file on the CD is still in iso format (@185MB) This is your problem. An ISO is a filesystem image, meant to be burnt directly to the CD. You've put the file inside a /new/ CD image, and burnt /that/. The correct option varies from app to app, but you generally want to find a burn image or something similar in your menus. Good luck, Ian

Re: Convenient way to enable IDE DMA
On Monday 26 August 2002 12:45 pm, Nate Eldredge wrote: As for hdparm, this is complicated with ide-scsi. For ide-scsi to work you have to make the ide-cd module ignore the scsi-ified drive. In which case /dev/hdc or whatever it is won't work until you have loaded the ide-scsi module, perhaps by touching /dev/scd0. So at least in my setup, further complications are needed. Be warned, ide-scsi resets the using_dma flag when it's loaded. This is an even bigger problem with devfs, because after ide-cd is unloaded there is no /dev/hd? node to feed hdparm. The only workaround I've found so far is to create a temporary device node, /tmp/hdd, load ide-scsi, and `hdparm -d 1 /tmp/hdd'. Oh, you can get some pretty decent improvements with `hdparm -c 1' as well. It toggles 12/32-bit IDE transfer modes, and isn't reset by ide-scsi. Found all this out trying to get my new PlexWriter 40/12/40a 40x CD-RW drive to burn discs full speed. -- das ist liebe, das ist hass / mit eifersucht vermahlen

Nope, you're confusing authors with the in-kernel orinoco driver, which Jean Tourrilhes (who works for HP) has maintained at various points, though the current real maintainer is David Gibson, IIRC. Apparently the 2.4.19 orinoco includes prism2/PCI (aka prism2.5, I believe) support. Don't know about the prism3---is that 802.11a? Prism2 and Prism2.5 are not the same thing. My understanding, perhaps flawed, is that Prism2.5 is basically a Prism2 with a direct PCI interface---no pcmcia baggage, etc. The Linksys WPM11, for instance. My only experience with Prism2.5 is with a newer Linksys WPC11 PCMCIA card, which didn't work with my stock 2.4.x non-kernel pcmcia setup. Regardless, the orinoco driver in the 2.4.19 kernel supports them. From Configure.help: Prism 2.5 PCI 802.11b adaptor support CONFIG_PCI_HERMES Enable support for PCI and mini-PCI 802.11b wireless NICs based on the Prism 2.5 chipset. These are true PCI cards, not the 802.11b PCMCIA cards bundled with PCI-PCMCIA adaptors which are also common. Some of the built-in wireless adaptors in laptops are of this variety. Doesn't this require kernel PCMCIA support? I haven't used the driver in the kernel, but the Orinoco driver shipped with pcmcia-source (pcmcia-cs 3.1.33) only supports Prism2 cards. I strongly recommend anyone with a Prism chipset use linux-wlan-ng, since pcmcia-cs's Orinoco driver sucks pretty hard. To each their own---I have used the orinoco driver that comes with the kernel from day one with no particular problems---and it supports the standard (at least in-kernel-standard) interfaces for configuration, etc., whereas wlan-ng does its own thing. Well, I've used the default Orinoco driver in pcmcia-cs, but the linux-wlan-ng driver just performs better for me. Also, the pcmcia-cs driver constantly complains about Error -110 writing BAP for me. -- Komm auf meine Sonnenbarke!

Those are not equivalent: the first loop, while ugly, has a guard against
endless looping if fts_read always returns non-NULL for any reason (not
knowing what fts_read contains, it is hard to tell whether there is a
reason for this or not).
but it can still be reduced to a single while loop while retaining the same
behavior as the original code:

Re: support for older distributions
i have libssl openssh 2.5.2p2 for potato at http://people.debian.org/~ieure/potato_ssh On Mon, 7 May 2001, Russell Coker wrote: Currently there are two usable repositories of Potato packages. There's a repository of kernel-related packages to run 2.4.x kernels on Potato, and there's a repository of LDAP related packages and other things that Wichert is maintaining. Both of these are good work, but even combined they don't provide what I consider to be adequate support for Potato. I would like a version of Potato that is not entirely frozen. It should have updates not only for security reasons but also for addition of new programs, and for adding new programs which add significant functionality and don't break things (such as Wichert's LDAP packages). To manage this fully through the Debian system we will need support in the BTS for reporting bugs to different people depending on the package version. Is this possible? Also we need space to maintain the packages (they shouldn't be THAT big). The aim should be that the maintainer of the woody version should not need to be involved in the backports (unless they want to be involved). I am willing to be involved in back-porting packages (there's many things that I back-port for my own use and should share). Also we have to consider the long-term view of this. I would like to see back-ports to woody being done in a year's time...
