[Cooker] OFFTOPIC: hdlist.cz generation.
Is there a way to generate an hdlist from a dir of RPMS? I get alot of questions regarding KDE 2.2 on Mandrake 8.0 and I would like to just give them a urmpi source and then auto select. I tried gendistrib, but that seems to be for regenerating a full distribution, not a small cluster of files. -- Arthur H. Johnson II [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Linux Box http://www.linuxbox.nu

Re: [Cooker] capturing boot output
I believe you can pause the screen. dmesg isn't helping? On Thu, 30 Aug 2001, Reggie Burnett wrote: how do I go about capturing the output before the kernel loads? I need to capture the intial console output generated by the intial ramdisk loader. My beta2 won't boot and the 15 or so lines that stream by are so fast I can't read them. Thanks Reggie -- Arthur H.

[Cooker] Problems with Ext3 install.
The cooker I am installing from is a mirror preformed 20010825. When I try an ext3 install, expert mode, selecting all packages possible in the initial and individual package selection, I get an error stating that it can not find LABEL=/. Sorry, I fergot the exact error, but that should suffice I hope. If not, I can try to recreate. -- Arthur H. Johnson II [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Linux Box http://www.linuxbox.nu
[Cooker] Rsync or lftp?
What is the advantages of using rsync over lftp? Lftp seems to work just find mirroring Cooker. Am I missing something? -- Arthur H. Johnson II [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Linux Box http://www.linuxbox.nu
[Cooker] cdrom/images/README incorrect.
While answering a MandrakeExpert question, I realized that the directory cdrom/dosutils/autoboot does not exist any more. The README file in cdrom/images/README should be changed to reflect the new way of booting Windows based installs. -- Arthur H. Johnson II [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Linux Box http://www.linuxbox.nu
Re: [Cooker] Problems with Ext3 install.
FOLLOWUP: I did the exact same thing, except selected ReiserFS as the filesystem, and I did not get the same errors. One other note, I did switch the theme while selecting packages. I switched from the default blue, to the green theme. On Tue, 28 Aug 2001, Arthur H. Johnson II wrote: The cooker I am installing from is a mirror preformed 20010825.

Re: [Cooker] FOUND: Problems with Ext3 install.
Okay, now I tried the install the same options from the first one, except I did not change the theme. So the problem was when selecting packages I changed the theme, and it lost what the root label was. Odd. On Tue, 28 Aug 2001, Arthur H.

[Cooker] Problem with DrakX Package Selection
Sorry, I think this has been reported already, but... I am testing the 20010824 Cooker DrakX Expert Install, and when I go to individual package selection the installer locks up. I can move to the virtual terminal but not anywhere else. I tried to select everything in a group and it told me it was installing Abiword, Tetex, etc but I could not click OK. -- Arthur H.

Re: [Cooker] Install pbs
Also, at the end, even after been installing from CD 1, it asked for it, before rebooting. So I closed the CD-ROM and clicked OK but it asked for it again. It was CD 1 thou. So I hit cancel ant it rebooted just fine. On Sat, 25 Aug 2001, Arthur H. Johnson II wrote: Same problem. Would not accept CD 2 or CD 3.

Re: [Cooker] Kmail Krashes?
Yup, it crashes alot. I was hyper excited when I heard of its IMAP support, however you cant filter from an imap server to an imap folder and cant create imap folders. Oh well, back to trusy old secure Pine! Arthur H.

It's making me nervous, as that's what i'm using for my e-mail now instead of Netscape. V. I get regular crashes in 8.0 -- I don't use kmail in cooker (I'm looking forward to knail in 8.1, however). Even with the crashes, I have yet to lose a message. It even returns with unsent mail open and ready to send. If only everything would crash this well. Hoyt
Re: [Cooker] 2.4.8-7 - Install failure
That's why I ran lilo before attemting to reboot. This told me that the initrd image was missing, so I created one. Make sure when the kernels get updated that you can run lilo, otherwise your looking at a rescue! Arthur H. Johnson II The Linux Box http://www.linuxbox.nu [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, 23 Aug 2001, L.

You'd have to try. The kernels etc on the boot disk are compiled with -march=pentium, but that means only that the compiler MAY use pentium specific instructions when they make sense. For a number of packages, this is NOT the case... Is there a makefile or script for creating i486 install images? I need to install several i486 machines.

I could not login after compiling 2.3.18ac{45} with the pgcc that
comes with Helios. I received an email advising that it is unsafe,
and to use gcc 2.95.1 instead. After recompiling with 2.95.1, the
login problem disappeared.
But then I had some other strange problems, and after reading that
Alan Cox recommends against gcc 2.95.x, I dropped back to the egcs
from Redhat Lorax just to be safe.
What are your thoughts on the state of gcc 2.95.1?

[Cooker] cannot login after 2.3.18ac4
I posted the following to lkml, but no answer yet. This happens with both cooker and cassini. Does anyone know why? 2.3.18ac3 was working fine, but after 2.3.18ac4 I cannot login. After rebooting from a backup floppy, I see that mingetty is reporting "tty1: invalid character" in the message log, apparently when I try to login.
