I've done it both ways, both work, but... It is more lines the stardard way, I give you that. But it is trivial since most of the time you spend recompiling your kernel is spent... well, compiling. And then you just have to cut an paste the kernel to wherever it goes, and deal with the boot loader, as oposed to installing a large package, ... In my case I feel that it takes longer if I do it "the debian way", and also you loose track of whats going on. In conclussion, I think "the standard way" as opposed to "the debian way" gives you a clear idea of whats going on, more control over the process, as opposed to the "click'n go" approach that debian uses. But Rich is right... if you have to install 10 kernels on 10 different machines, having a nice package you can just click on and forget about it is more efficient. I am just talking from the perspective of the end user with a couple of machines... I guess I should have stated that from the begining. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Activating ACPI supend and ACPI Hibernate in klaptop
Does anybody knows how to do this? I've learned in the net that, for example in Mandrake 9.1 you have to install a package with some scripts (i.e. for suspend suspend-scripts), and that latter you can invoke them from /usr/bin/pmsuspend... again, this in mandrake. In klaptop there is the configure acpi option, and then it ask for you to enter the comands "your system uses for 'standby' (temporary sleep), 'suspend' (suspend-to-RAM) and 'hibernate' (supend-to-disk)"...

Kernel 2.6.0-test2 minor issues. Works well!!!
I've just compiled this kernel, and I am running with it. Some issues I had before with test1 are gone (for example I was unable to unmount my ethernet card upon reboot). I have to say that everything seem to be working well, that ACPI seem to work (although no thermal monitoring in my machine). My PCMCIA and USB port seem to be working OK. I just have 2 issues: 1) I have not been able to enable the linux (Tux) logo during the initial bootup, except in monochomatic (an it is very ugly). Anybody know how to enable this (the little penguin on the left upper corner during boot) As you see not a life or death issue. 2) The second issue is that, KLaptop lets you configure ACPI, and to enable Standby, Suspend and Hibernate (suspend to disk). But apparently you have to enter a comand in a little dialog box. Does anybody knows were can I find them... or just tell me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There is a chapter about compiling the kernel... Really, you need to read this. Once said that, I do not use Debians packages to compile the kernel... they do everything for you... I feel that if you are going to compile your own kernel you should be aware of every step, but that's just me... and it is really easy either way (Debians way or the manual way). So the only package I need is the kernel per se, and gcc (2.95 or 3.2, I always have problems with 3.3, and I seem to remember that this is a known issue). Also, not relying on Debian packagest allows you to use really up to date versions of the kernel. For example I am running with a 2.6.0-test2 kernel, released just a few hours!! In Debian Reference there is an explanation for compiling the kernel "the debian way" and for compiling it manually... and to be honest, I think both ways are very easy... the "hard" part is not the compilation per se, or making the proper changes so your system boots OK (ALWAYS REMEMBER TO UPDATE LILO OR GRUB), but to configure the kernel (make menuconfig or however you do it) properly... but this, like everything, is a trial an error thing... and very instructive about the innards of the kernel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Kernel 2.6.0 compiling problems
I already posted this to the kernel mailing list, but I am trying here so see
if I am lucky.
I have knoppix 3.2/Debian testing/stable.
I used gcc 3.3 and 2.95 to compile a 2.6 kernel. I just copied the .config
file form my previous kernel and pasted it on the new kernel src folder (my
older kernel being a 2.4.21). I get this at the end of make modules:

Spamassassin became extemely slow after upgrade to latest version (2.55-2)
I just upgraded spamassassin from 2.53 to 2.55, and now it takes ages to download my email... I get my mail with postfix/kmail... before it wasn't fast, but it was ok... 100 messages in a minute or two. Now it takes one minute just for one message. I created a filter to select all incoming mail ant pipe it through spamassassin or spamc (with spamd running), and a second one to look at the headers for x-spam, etc. I dpkg --purged spamassassin and installed the previous version, but still it is too slow.

Regenerating /var/spool/cups
Hi. I have a Compaq IJ600 that was working OK with CUPS and a Lexmark driver (Z22). However I sent a pdf file to print and /var/spool/cups got full of junk (800 megs), and I guess corrupted (I couldn't even get into it as root), so I deleted it... I then created another /var/spool/cups directory, but is empty. Now I cannot print anythin, not even tests.

Partimage can do that... the only problem is that support for NTFS (the file system WinXP most likely uses) is experimental. You should be OK if your WinXP partitions are in VFAT (FAT32). I have the same issue you have. I have WinXP and debian in my laptop. I use drive image (Power Quest) to make backups of my WinXP NTFS partitions... although it has been a while, and I seem to remember that Drive Image 2002 does not support ext3, so there were some error messages (not good when you are makin backups). What I did was to put all my data in Fat32 partitions, that can be written to w/o any problem from linux, and can be backed up with partimage. Then all my WinXP executables are un a NTFS partition... if that one dies I just reinstall the whole thing, no big deal... al my data is on different partitions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Something unexpected happened to me. I upgraded gcc to 3.3.3, and afterwards I was unable to compile the 2.4.21 kernel. I was still able to compile the 2.4.20 version. However with gcc 3.2.3 and 2.95 I can compile the 2.4.21 kernel. I do not remember the exact error message, but it was at the very last part of the compilation.

From linux... only mandrake's 9.1 diskdrake can do that... although I've heard
it can mess up things... I do not know that for sure.
From windows, again, Partition Magic 8. I've use it, works like a charm

I have debian testing/unstable, gcc 3.2, kernel 2.4.20-xfs from knoppix. 3D support works fine (Intel830M).

Compiling kernel 2.4.20/2.4.21 questions.
I've been thinking on compiling my first own kernel for a while, and since 2.4.21 stable has just been released I downloaded it and compiled it It went surprisingly smothly, just a few problems with lilo (wrong names for the labels, nothing serious). My only (kind-off) problem was with /boot/initrd.gz. My debian came from a knopix cd, is a mixture of testing and unstable, had a kernel 2.4.20-xfs before (and still has in LinuxOld), has GCC 3.3. When I booted into the new kernel, and /boot/initrd.gz kicked in, there was a problem with the modules on it (ext3 and jsb?), that were compiled for 2.4.20, so I got a kernel panic and the bootup stalled. Then I read that I really do not need /boot/initrd.gz (Debian Reference page 85), so I comented it out in lilo like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20-xfs label=Linux initrd=/boot/initrdold.gz read-only # restricted # alias=1 image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21 label=LinuxNew # initrd=/boot/initrd.gz read-only # restricted # alias=1 So here is my first question. What is /boot/initrd.gz for anyway?. Do I need it?. My second question is about the xfs patch. Before compilation I tried to patch another kernel I was playing with, before compilation (2.4.20)... uuuhhh!... should I do it after compilation?. Anyway, I couldn't patch it, I got a message stating that the 3 Hunks failed!?!?!. So I left it out for 2.4.21... I don't even think there is a patch for 2.4.21, and if there is, somebody let me know Do I need that patch. I use ext3 only, and I have no plans to use anything else. My third question is... well, so far everything works, my laptop is in one piece... but I really do not notice any difference... So, why should I use this kernel?. I only did it because my knoppix CD does not come with the kernel source that I need to recompile the kernel and get the Dazuko "patch/module" I need for AVguard antivirus. Finally, how do I get my kernel customized for 686... just to know!. Thanks. PD I guess I should be doing some more reading and googling, but I am a little bit tired, so bear with me.

Inserting Init script
Once I placed a bash script in /etc/init.d, how do I create a link so it is executed during halt (runlevel 0) and reboot (runlevel 6). I tried this: update-rc.d start 99 runlvl 0 But I get this error: expected runlevel [0-9S] (did you forget "." ?)

Re: Beginers guide to spamassain ?
By the way, speaking of Spam The first time I sent you a reply, I sent it directly to you (I forgot to answer to the list) and you bounced it; it came with this notice: = BLOCKED EMAIL NOTICE = Your email, which is attached below, was blocked by my email filter for one or more of these reasons: * Your email came from or via a site whose email servers (computers which process email) allow "relaying" or are insecure in some other way, allowing senders of unsolicited bulk email (usually called spam) to use these servers to hide who they are and bypass filtering. * Your email had headers or body text which my filter thought might indicate it is spam. * Your email came from or via a site on the spam filter's list of internet sites which allow users to spam, or which do not take effective action against users which do so. If you are a bulk mailer, advertiser (commercial or political), or are sending any kind of "free offer", please remove this address from your mailing list and do not email me again. If you are not an advertiser or bulk mailer, you can resend your mail and get past the filters by including the password listed below on the Subject: line of your message. It can appear anywhere on the Subject: line -- it doesn't have to be first, last, or the only thing on that line. An easy way to do this is to forward this bounced message back to me and either change the Subject: line to the password, or add it to the beginning or end of the Subject: line -- whatever is easier. That way, I will get your email and be able to add your email address to my NOBOUNCE list, which means email from you will not bounce again. :) Thank you! I LIKE IT!!! but does it work?... I mean, you are telling the spamers that you are there and that your email address is good... and also that they need to change their messages so the next time your filters do not catch them... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Beginers guide to spamassain ?
I just set up spamassassin in my machine, using it with Kmail. 1) apt-get install spamassassin 2) Create 2 filters in KMail (I got this looking for it in the net, do not remember where) 2.A) First kmail filter Filter criteria " 25" Filter Action is " spamassassin" or " spamc" (which needs the spamd daemon runningbut is much faster). The command spamassassin had to be called with the parameters "-P -F 0" in versions prior to 2.40; these options are now obsolete and produce warnings (current ver is 2.53). Advanced Options, uncheck the "If this filter matches, stop processing here" box. If you keep this filter at the top, it will analyze all incoming mail, decide whether it's spam or not, and flag it accordingly. 2.B) Second filter behind it Looks for "X-Spam-Flag equals YES" and diverts them into a specific folder called "Probably Spam" (still testing, don't want to delete any false positives by mistake); goodbye to all spam. 3) Teach Spamassassin like this: Put your Spam in one folder, and your good mail (HAM) in another, and do this: sa-learn -spam -dir /home/Marino/Mail/Spam/cur sa-learn -ham -dir /home/Marino/Mail/inbox/cur Make sure that all the spam is spam, and that all the ham is ham.

I have my DVD on /dev/hdc, and I do this as root: hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc Then, if this works, you can put a script on /etc/init.d and a link to it in /etc/rcS.d, so DMA gets activated during boot-up however I am not very sure about this last step, I've never done it in debian (only in SuSE), so maybe one of the more learned debianites can tell us about it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
