Trying to make dvd from cd iso's
Ok I got a new toy, and would like to make an install DVD from the cd images? And have some questions. Can I just merge the dist and pool directories from each cd image? What file is dselect using when it is indexing the cd’s. What is the boot file? Thanks, brian
my /usr partition is corrupted. How can I fix it?
Is there a way to fix my usr partition without reinstalling Debian completely? It was hosed either by a KDE crash, powerloss, or synaptic crashing and restarting the system, or a combination. The story as complete as I can follows since I have no idea where the problem is or how to fix it. System Specs: PIII 600Mhz with 256 MB Ram, SB Live sound card, nVidia Geforce 256 DDR (subsystem: AGP-V6800) with the nvidia driver installed, 3Com 3c905c-Tx (Tornado), Kernel is my 2.4.18 Debian unstable, (recently changed from woody). I use wmaker for my window manager and kde is installed for my wife. I manage my packages with synaptic. Problem: I have used tuxracer in wmaker before and it works no problem. However, I tried tuxracer in KDE under my wife's account for the first time and it gave a segmentation fault and the resolution stayed at 800x600(?). I then logged out and back in to my own account and wmaker but the resolution was still wrong. It wouldn't switch back to my preferred setting of 1280x1024. I restarted the machine for lack of other ideas. No problems, so I ran synaptic and updated my list and began a dist-upgrade. Partway through this process, the machine started to reboot! Then on booting up, it failed and complained of corruption. So I used tomsrtbt and ran fsck without automatic fixing and answered yes to all questions. Afterwards, I rebooted and everything seemed normal. However, synaptic wouldn't run until I downloaded the palm-conduit package and installed with dpkg. Then, I switched to sarge from unstable, hoping sarge is approximately as stable as woody was. But I still complaints about errors with packages. Now, gnome-terminal is not even installed so I have tried aptitu From: root@peter (Cron Daemon) To: root@peter Subject: Cron test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 06:29:15 -0700 /etc/cron.daily/man-db: gzip: /usr/share/man/man8/kernel-packageconfig.8.gz: not in gzip format run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/man-db exited with return code 3 /etc/cron.daily/standard: Files were found in lost+found directories.

HPPA Install Problem with libc6
I am attempting an install on an HP B2600. Due to the USB keyboard/mouse I am installing via the serial interface. I downloaded the Jigdo ISO images (with good checksum verify) and burned CD1. I then booted from it via PALO. The install program comes up and all is well. I set up the partitions and have gone as far as the "Install the Base System". At that point, I have tried multiple methods - direct from the CD, network from debian.org, and NFS from the CD on another box. Each time I get the following error: http://http.us.debian.org:80/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.5-6_hppa.deb was corrupt Can someone point me in the right direction (or to the right lib file) here?

That's not always so easy to find out. Some packages are rather crippled if you don't install their Recommended: packages, and it's usually not at all obvious why some functionality is missing. In most cases, you really want to install all Recommended: packages, and you should consider installing Suggested: packages. > As I understand it, apt-get will make sure that any piece of > software just works. Not necessarily. apt-get can't always do a very good job of dependency resolution. It can be pretty easy to get your system into a broken state that's tough to fix with apt-get alone, especially if you track unstable. Also, apt-get tends to be too quiet. For example, it may decide to hold back a whole bunch of packages without giving the user any hints as to why. apt-get is useful for times when you know exactly what package you want to install. However, it's a rather inadequate for tracking updates to continuously-changing distributions. -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Well, downgrades are unsupported because there's probably a good chance they won't work smoothly, but it's possible to try. You just need to give the packages you want to downgrade a pin priority greater than 1000. man apt_preferences for details.

Virtual Host set up problem
Hello, I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I've set up a Debian Server running Apache with 2 network cards - one for internal, one for external. The system works perfectly when I set up just one domain. When I go to set up ip-based virtual hosting, I've followed these steps: 1) set up the additional ips in /etc/network/interfaces and restart networking - everything seems OK. 2) set up the virtual servers in /etc/apache/httpd.conf - both websites are set up as virtual that I want to host. The main server isn't visible to the net. 3) change /etc/hosts to contain the ips and hostnames required The result is that the virtual host works for only one site. The only thing I see that could be the problem is that running ifconfig - the virtual ip numbers don't show, but they are in the network interfaces file. Any suggestions?

terminal colors
Hi. I'm having problems getting colors to appear in my BASH prompt in Woody (3.0). This is on a fresh install I just finished today. I've made very few changes to the system so far. When I ssh (protocol v2) into my debian server, the prompt is monochrome. I've tried to export the TERM variable several times using xterm-color, linux, xterm-debian, and xtermc in .bashrc and .bash_profile. I've also tried these same settings in the terminal-type string setting in putty. Nothing works. However, once I'm ssh'ed into the server, if I su to the same account the bash prompt is in color. echo $TERM produces the same output (the putty setting) in both cases. Any suggestion on how to fix this? I've scoured google, google groups, and debianhelp.org to no avail. What are other good resources I can use to resolve this?

I think the idea would be to make it easier to use software (like debconf) to modify configuration data without overwriting the user's changes. Right now, unless a configuration file is trivially easy to parse, it's nearly impossible to use debconf to modify a file.

How to clone/copy SanDisk 1.2G flash disk as soon as it is inserted?
Hi, We are using this card in manufacturing a product. Currently, the card is used by an embedded application and the information on the card is setup by the embedded hardware during the manufacturing process. We would like to take a flashdisk that has already been setup by the hardware, and clone/copy it. I have been able to do this on a Debian machine using the dd command to copy the contents of the flashdisk (using its raw memory interface) onto a hard disk and then copy it back to another card. It takes about 25 min. to write a flashcard from the hard disk this way. I used the following command: dd if=/dev/hde of=diskimage (I didn't know what block size to use so I didn't use one) I'm always trying to find ways of using Linux around here so this may be a good job for it. Is there an easy way to make a script or something that would display the progress of the copy so the user would know the status of the copying? I don't think people on the manufacturing line are going to like doing a dd command and then just watching it sit there. Any ideas how to make/do this better? I'm sure my boss will want me to find something for Windows to do this but I've looked and I can't find anything. When I use the Linux machine to copy the flashdisk I can't look at the contents of the disk and I cannot read the partition information, all I can do is use the dd command to make a byte-for-byte copy . which works! We are using the 1.2GB Flashdisk part number SDP3B-1280-101-50. I'd also like to be able to start the copying process as soon as the flashdisk is inserted. Can someone point me in the right direction to be able to do that? We would also like to build a machine that has several PCMCIA interfaces in it so we can write several cards at once. How many of these interfaces can I put in a machine and how could I determine the optimal number of flashcards to do at one time? I'm sure at some point writing multiple cards at once will take longer instead of it being faster I need to be able to determine the "sweet spot". The SanDisk documentation says something about a 16-20MBytes per second burst throughput although it took me about 25 min. to copy the image to/from hard disk on a PIII 750. Would a faster machine be needed to do this type of job? I'm sure that is enough questions. I love Debian 3.0! I have it everywhere. It Rocks!

fetchmail rules for logcheck?
Hello, I recently started running the fetchmail service from /etc/init.d, rather than running it under my own account when I login. One thing that I like about this is that error messages go to syslog and then I see them in my logcheck emails. Unfortunately, there are also hundreds of lines of "x messages from mail.server retrieved..." and "flushed". I would like to eliminate these from my logcheck output, and am wondering if anyone has already written rules for intelligently removing regular email retrieval messages, but not useful problem related messages? I searched google, but did not see anything. Also, I had edited the logcheck rules for oidentd to ignore successful lookups by myself when fetchmail was running under my account. Now that it is running as fetchmail, there are a lot fetchmail oidentd lookups. Can anyone think of any reason not to ignore successful fetchmail lookups? TIA.
