Hi,
I would like to install debian on a machine with ftp access (and a debian
mirror very close by). I am used to install redhat via ftp and I find it
good way. However, it seems from the docs I read that this option is not
available when installing debian, am I wrong?
Thanks for your help

Dear Marc
I can't connect in PPP-mode to Compuserve, but I probably have some
Information for you.
I don't know if they have a Linux-Entry-Skript. I will ask them next week.
Dial-in-Number is 0842 111 092.
The Info-Line said that they use TERMINAL and the NAMESERVERS
149.174.211.5 149.174.213.5 .
The NEWSSERVER is called News.Compuserve.com and the POP3
Pop.Site1.csi.com.
That's all I know about.

Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 16:37:22 GMT
I don't know much about CPUs, but I believe this to be true as well.
Because the bus multiplier is either always an even .5, like 3, 3.5, 4
If the bus is 100 mhz (fastest availible AFAIK) then that would mean either
300 mhz, 350 mhz, 400 mhz and so on.
If, on the other hand, the bus is 66 mhz and the multiplier is 4, then
you'd get a 266.
But as I said before, I'm not into CPUs that much.

Explorer doesn't provide the code that displays that dialog
box with the finger pointing at a keyboard that flits about
the screen while noone is logged on. There's an awful lot
of graphics and window management libraries that have to
be loaded into memory (and into the swap file).

Hi Gilles,

They have links to nearby mirrors. You can find the 1.02 - 1.1.x and the pre

Don't know if Debian has sndconfig but you might give it a try. It all
depends on what kind of card it is (Vibra, Soundpro-chip?). If it is a card
with the Soundpro chip you can look at the CMI HOWTO in my signature.
Are you using isapnptools?

Nothing religious at all. Just copyright.

Qt under the present license cannot go into main but can go into non-free.
Just like all the other non-free stuff. As soon as Qt 2.0 comes out under
a free license (which looks likely real soon now) and someone chooses to
package it, Qt will go into main.
> Although they do have QT 1.40, sitting there in the non-free section...
Which is where it belongs, and where 1.42 would go should a Debian
developer feel moved to package it. So far none has. The absence of any
particular piece of freely-distributeable software from the Debian archives
generally means only that no developer has felt the need to put it there.
> So, anyway, they don't diastribute KDE.
Because of copyright problems, which it appears will be resolved soon.
When these problems are solved one of the Debian developers will almost
certainly package KDE.

Install them all at once, with a single dpkg command. Put all the .deb's
in a directory and type
dpkg -i *.deb
Or better yet, install apt and use apt-get. Apt has no problems with
dependency loops and automatically fetches and installs everything that the
package you tell it to install depends on.
The best place for Debian questions is the debian-user mailing list. Go to
www.debian.org to subscribe.
BTW, you might try taking a less hostile tone when asking for help.

Yes. Install the base system and choose the 'apt' method in dselect. It
will install the selected packages via http or ftp from the archive. The
first time you run dselect you should skip the 'Select' step and go to
'Install'. This will install all the 'standard' packages.

Ditto previous reply - if you want to call NT's event handling

fine. I call the GUI the Graphical User Interface - Explorer.

There is no pager included with WindowMaker, and according to the FAQ, there

I think you don't wont to set up your own DNS server. You would cause too
much trouble as linux newby. DNS system is really complicated and it
requires extensive study in order to be capable of using it.
I suppose what you want to know how to use your DNS-servers of your ISP:
Just make an entry as follows:
nameserver aaa.xxx.bbb.ccc

use ifconfig to set up your ip-address and route to make the proper route

Did you also try opening with O_NONBLOCK? Then read will

Yes, assuming the process has root privileges (I think it must

which address), then use outb() to write a zero or one to that

It just occured to me that the problem could be a simple path issue. One part of the

At the time when you can use explore2fs, you are not running Linux, and
you have rebooted into Windows. Therefore, security is kinda meaningless if
you can reboot the machine, or, even take out the disks (i.e. physical
access to the machine). You need to encrypt the filesystem to avoid this.
Pls correct me if i am wrong.

Have anyone tried the GPL version of SuSE 6.0 or RedHat 5.2 ?
Are they different from official versions ?

Date: Mon, 15 Mar 1999 21:25:03 GMT
This seems to be an NT specific problem. I had the exact same symptoms
when I tried to view my Linux box from NT. Viewing the same box from
Win95/98 worked perfectly. I had setup my .vnc to display my KDE
desktop and under 95/98 everything came up fivers. Under NT, grey
screen and cursor and nothing more.
I never did figure it out and gave up on using NT to view my Linux box.
