You *can* boot linux from a logical drive in an extended partition. LILO goes in the mbr of the bootable disk (not in the logical partition), so it makes no difference where Linux is (except for the IDE 1024 cylinder problem, which shouldn't affect Mock because he's using SCSI).

xterm in potato can't open ttys

My kernel has /dev/pts support compiled and working. As root I can run xterms and see them using pts/* with a 'w' listing. The problem is that normal users can't run xterm.

Strange network problems on ppp interface
As of yesterday, I've been having some strange problems connecting through my Ricochet modem. I'm able to connect and ping places just fine; however, all useful connections (e.g., telnet, ftp, or http) fail: with telnet, for instance, I get the standard connect messages Trying 128.32.183.1... Connected to bosco.berkeley.edu. Escape character is '^]'. but then no welcome message. There's a tcpdump of such an attempt after my signature. I'd suspect a packet filtering problem, but I'm able to connect using my EtherNet card with no problem. The only change in my configuration that seems like it might be relevant is that I had just upgraded to the latest potato, after 5 days. The only packages upgraded that seem like they could possibly be relevant are hostname and libc6. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this kind of problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

need help with HP ethertwist jumper settings and parameters
Autoprobing fails during installation (trying to install over network), and I think its the parameters and the card jumpersettings that are the problem. Anyone know this particular card (27247B) or preferable settings and parameters? Jussi ps. I'm a newcomer on debian, so take it easy.
using latin american characters

IIRC, LILO should be able to boot from any partition, although it gets
a bit more complicated if the interesting bits aren't near enough to the
front of the disk...
I couldn't tell from the bits of previous posts I could see exactly how
whoever-it-was had been trying to boot, but pay particular attention to
the following:
1) Use LILO in the MBR rather than at the start of the Linux partition;
if you have a DOS/Windows MBR, then it won't try to boot from an extended
partition, and so LILO will never be loaded if it's only installed on, say,
/dev/hda6;
2) Use the "linear" option to LILO if necessary;
3) The "-v" option to LILO is your friend. Actually it can be up to about
3 of your friends at once ("lilo -v -v -v").

Password encryption
Hi everyone,
Today, I've just realized that the passwd package uses encryption. The
problem is that I wonder why it's not in the non-US section.
Every package that uses encryption seems to be in non-US, so why isn't passwd
in non-US too ?
Bye,

Re: [root: Cron run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily]
As far as the cnews angle is concerned, this seems to be a minor misfeature of the cnews package. The script in /etc/cron.daily/cnews is run as root, and su's to user 'news' while the current working directory is /root, resulting in nasty messages. I have attached my slightly edited copy of this script, that cd's before the su. I have version cr.g7-12 of cnews installed; if you have some other version, don't simply replace your script with mine unless you're happy that it's correct.

I could not mount my floppy as previously. Additionally, when I tried to implement Sound, I couldn't. I've spent five days trying to sort these out myself - it's the best way to learn so far as I'm concerned. I thought I was getting a little knowledge of things - that now seems over-optimistic. re a. I normally use SuSE (or RedHat) for Internet connection - mail folders etc are on one or the other. The connection on Debian was OK with 2.0.36, and I did use Lynx for text browsing. I've been waiting to get hold of Pine and perhaps Netscape before moving things over. Wvdial sometimes connects starts pppd and immediately says 'ppp daemon has died (exit code = 1)'. On another occasion when I know the lines were busy it picked this up and said 'try again later' At other times it produces lines of 'machine code', ( I guess talking to my ISP's machine) then aborts. Kern.log says the kernel is not compiled for ppp (I've not used any modules). All the files seem OK to me, /peers/provider, resolv.conf, /chatscripts/ provider, /hosts, /host.conf and /pap-secrets (although this has 'one' immediately above my username * password, which I haven't noticed before). /ppp/options contains only 'lock' and 'debug', whilst /peers/ wvdial is OK as is the wvdial configuration. My limited experience indicates, therefore, it must have to do with the kernel - but what? I enabled 'networking support' which seems the only relevant option. I've re-run 'make config' (good experience for a new- comer) and found nothing helpful. The other distributions connect without difficulty, so presumably it is not hardware. re b. I did think I understood how to mount /floppy. Obviously wrong! Is there a file somewhere to list kernel enabled filesystems? If I edit /etc/fstab to include '/dev/fd0 /floppyext2noauto,user 0 0', mount /floppy gives me 'wrong fs, bad option, bad superblock or too many mounted fs'. If I change 'ext2' to 'auto', I get 'you must specify the fs type'. The latter according to what I've read should work and make for a short command-line. In the kernel I enabled all the fs I'm likely to need. What stupidity assails me? I don't regret the time spent trying for answers - merely my inability to get them. When I do get ppp working and go for patching, are there any apart from 8 to 12 incl that do not need to be compiled (between 2 and 13 that is?). If you do have the time to help I shall be grateful.

IP->1stDomainname-->2ndDomainname In other words, I have one IP address delegated to a domain (e.g., hidden.static.domain.name.net). I want all traffic (on the same box) to come and go from another domain (on the same box, e.g., mydomain.net). ...any ideas? Art

Kernal Upgrade and WINE questions
I am running slink with kernal 2.0.34 and am thinking about upgrading to kernal 2.2.10 (I have seen posts about problems with 2.2.11 and 2.2.12, no news, yet on 2.2.13). I don't have any dire need to upgrade, so I'm not sure if it is a good idea, or just wait until potato is upgraded to stable and get the new kernal then. Also, while looking through potato, I noticed that there is finally a new version of wine up. Has anyone used this version yet? I tried wine a while back and could not get it to work well, at all. Now that I have WP8 installed, wine is not quite so important, but there are a few other Windoze programs which I would like to be able to use if wine will work well with them. Pegasus Mail is the major hitch here. I use XFMail, but my wife still boots up Win 3.1 in order to be able to use Pegasus. If wine will run Pegasus, I would probably use it, too. XFMail has a tendancy to frequent crashes (but nothing else under Linux gives me problems like this). I would also like to be able to use Quattro Pro 5.0 under wine. Would I need to upgrade to potato to use this version of wine? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. Marc Shapiro http://www.bigfoot.com/~m_shapiro/ -- Linux IS user-friendly.

libslang problem after upgrade to potato
After doing a distribution upgrade from slink to potato, I keep getting errors about /usr/lib/libslang.so not existing. Doing "ldconfig /usr/lib" results in ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libslang.so (No such file or directory), skipping ldconfig: warning: can't open /usr/lib/libslang.so (No such file or directory), skipping The libslang contents of /usr/lib are as follows:- lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Nov 3 00:31 libslang-ja.so.1 -> libslang-ja.so.1.2.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 242144 Jun 1 04:37 libslang-ja.so.1.2.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 335618 Aug 13 13:20 libslang.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Aug 13 13:23 libslang.so -> /lib/libslang.so.1.2.2 The problem is that I have a dangling symlink here. 1) Should I have an English libslang here? Or should I delete the symlink? 2) I have one in /lib as so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Nov 2 23:57 libslang.so.1 -> libslang.so.1.3.9 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 328428 Oct 14 08:59 libslang.so.1.3.9 Should this be here? Should it be in /usr/lib instead, or symlinked from there? If I try an "apt-get install slang1" it tells me I already have the newest version, so I'm not quite sure where to go from here. I daren't reboot without sorting this out as libslang is in the base distribution, and quite a few upgrades did not go smoothly because of this libslang problem. Any advice appreciated. Neil.

(the kernel and such all in LILO docs) I think its better to farm out your partitions a bit, a /usr a /home and a /var let you have a small / partition that makes it easy to keep within the BIOS limits.

Runtime kernel parameters configuration
When I was configuring kernel 2.2.13 (make menuconfig) I was looking for IP: always defragment (CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG) and I couldn't find it. It had to be somewhere because its required for masquerading. Then it hit me, some kernel options are moving to /proc/sys/* and can be configured at runtime. For example, to enable up forwarding you can do: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward or # sysctl -w net/ipv4/ip_forward=1 (I prefer sysctl...) And yes, CONFIG_IP_ALWAYS_DEFRAG was moved to /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_always_defrag Here is the silly question: Where are all /proc/sys/* options described???
