Question:  If I assign a fixed IPv6 adddress to my customers how
   must setup the http proxy for IPv4 Webservices?

   Do you know a howto for it?

Note:   My business customers have no problem to use IPv6..  Do not know
why, but it seems, there (mostly) CISCO  routers  do  the  right
thing...

It seems, there is only a problem witj private customers and there  Low-
Cost 0815 routers.  The "AVM Fritz! Box" I have tested, work without any
modifications too.  Others like D-Link, Linksys and Netgear do not work.

So, what can I do as Internet Access Provider, to "help" customers which
can not use IPv6 for whatever reason?

Should I give them a private IPv4 address (German GSM Provider do  this)
if I can not get more IPv4 adresses from RIPE??

Also I have even problems with IPv6 and  embedded  systems  like  Energy
Metering Systems (I meter the Power consumation of all  of  my  servers)
and such, where the emebedded IP-Stacks do not support IPv6.

I consider already to give Static IPv6 adresses to my customers (free.fr
and alice-dsl.de do the same) which should solv some problems...

What do you think about?

I have more IPv6 addresses,  as  I  need  to  provide  Baden-Wuertemberg
internet access and take over Google.  :-D

I have this installed, but it seems, that there is an  IPv6  issue  with
PPPoE->Windows because with Linux it works.

The PPPoE Server is under  FreeBSD,  because  GNU/Linux  does  not  work
stable enough to handel one or more GE Lines with currently arround  460

It is normal, because I was not aware that you and the others have  done
the job...

Hey, I have since some weeks my own GE access in Kehl/Germany and am not
able to get any additional IPv4 adresses from RIPE.   I Have to  use  my
assigned IPv6 block!

I have only 256 IPv4 addresses, which I have to  use  for  my  customers
Wireless (BreezeACCESS VL) and FTTH (Iskratel SI3000) access. Which kind
crap is this, that not a singel customer can access the  Internet  if  I
assign dem to a IPv6 instead of IPv4?  If I use my T42 with  Debian,  it
works properly...  So it seems to be a Windoes thing or the used Routers

> I'd appreciate if some people could go and

Cool, thanks for the work...

But I can not get a IPv6 capable mirror.  I have tried 
without success.

Is there a known IPv6 aware Debian Mirror?

Note:   Du to my ISP infrastructure, DHCP does not work for security
reason and I have to use definitively my from RIPE  assigned
IPv6 block.

Also after burning the Mini-ISO, my DVD-Burner gaved up and is there
a possibility to get an USB-Stick image?  The Mini-ISO from you does
not like to be an USB-Stick, at least on my Sun and IBM Servers.

Yes, but why does the D-I not ask for the tg3_tso.bin?   OK, the card is

Bug#658037: D-I tries to install Debian on my cellphone instead of loading the firmware

Package: debian-installer
Severity: important
Tags: squeeze

Hello Maintainers,

I have 146 IBM eServer xSeries 335 and they are working fine with  Lenny
and Squeeze, but now I have gotten some new ones and failed

1)  D-I does not ask me for the firmware of the integrated Broadcom NICs
-> tg3_tso.bin

2)  does not ask me for the firmware of the  integrated  SCSI-Controller
-> LSI 53c1020

2)  If I mount the USB-Stick (cellphone or SD card) manualy, D-I  detect
it as an install medium and does not bother installing Debian on it.
WTF?

3)  D-I can not mount a fresh bought SD card, or USB Stick,  because  it
want to enforce a superdisk on  /dev/sda  instead  of  mounting  the
parition /dev/sda1.

However, the previous owner of the server had FC 8 installed on  it  and
it worked, so why can D-I not load the modules and firmware?

Normaly this bug should be "grave" or even "critial"...


Note:   Don't believe, I throw away 400 Servers of a value
of more the 5 mio Euro even if D-I is sick!

Realy, Debian becomes more and more worse!

It was the best server systems and now it degrade it self.

Syslinux is from Peter Anvin which I know from DJGPP...  long time ago!

Since I have not Webconnection at home, where can I get "extlinux"
"apt-cache" and "apt-file" shows nothing.

AFAIK yes, because the long package names.
Mounting with msdos gaved me problems.

It would be realy time to get a REAL-Linux-Boot-Sector

Solution:

1)  apt-get install syslinux
2)  mkdosfs -F 16 /dev/sda1
3)  syslinux /dev/sda1
4)  mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt
5)  extract the contents of boot.img.gz to /mnt

Now you will have a bootable 512 MByte CF-Disk where you can put
other packages for installing

Because I am currently very Off-Line (and not in Strasbourg) I have
downloaded 3 different Netinstall-ISO's of Sarge via GSM/EDGE with
arround 120-150 kBit/Second

A friend of me has downloaded 4 other Netinstall-CD's...

All Images since 2006-02-25 are broken!!!

I have waste money and time to get a Etch and Sid Installation (I am
ongoing Package Maintainer and developing some new Applications) and
I am blocked because of the CD's.

Please note, I do not want to boostrap from a rescue CD or update
from Sarge to Etch and Sid, because this give me different results.

I need a 100% Etch and Sid System.

Please can you look at it?

Currently I am downloading the E-Mails (15.800) of the Last 2 1/2
Weeks... and I do not know, whether the problem is allready solved
or not.   :-/

Tryed, BUT:

In the last days (Saturday, Sunday and Monday) there are NO Images
availlable and the link on the website produce an error.

I think, the script which generate the Page/Link should care about
it and offer the lates availlablke and not blindly the current day.

After manualy surfing the filesystem I have gound Images from
2006-02-24 (Friday)

Sarge Installation not bootable

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello *,

I have two workstations running Woody with some Backports.

WS 1:   AsusTek A7V600-X with Sempron 2200+, 512 MB of memory
IBM DAQA-33240 (3,2 GByte)

WS 2:   AsusTek A7V600-X with Athlon XP 3000+, 3 GBytre of memory
IBM DHEA-36480 (6,4 GByte)


first I have tried to make an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which was
working fine on both WS but since I have gotten a kernel upgrade
I had to reboot...  Oops...

"No operating system. Please insert system disk."

On both machines!  I have used the netinstall 3.1r0a.

OK, now, since the netinstall does not offer a "rescue" system,
I have used my own self-made one... written the bootsektor using

mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /rescue

OK, new installation and now at the end I was looking on VT3  and

Now since I have two productiosn systems I have rebooted with my

mounted it and uncompressed the saved Woody tarball and written lilo
on the harddrive.  Now the HDD's are working fine with Woody again.

Sarge Installation not bootable

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello *,

I have two workstations running Woody with some Backports.

WS 1:   AsusTek A7V600-X with Sempron 2200+, 512 MB of memory
IBM DAQA-33240 (3,2 GByte)

WS 2:   AsusTek A7V600-X with Athlon XP 3000+, 3 GBytre of memory
IBM DHEA-36480 (6,4 GByte)


first I have tried to make an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' which was
working fine on both WS but since I have gotten a kernel upgrade
I had to reboot...  Oops...

"No operating system. Please insert system disk."

On both machines!  I have used the netinstall 3.1r0a.

OK, now, since the netinstall does not offer a "rescue" system,
I have used my own self-made one... written the bootsektor using

mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /rescue
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda3 /rescue/tmp
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /rescue/usr
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda6 /rescue/var
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda7 /rescue/var/log

lilo -r /rescue

and lilo was written without any problems...
After rebooting I have gotten the same problem.

OK, now I have downloaded a newer netinstall CD 3.1r1 and erased

It depends, whether your ZIP-Drive is botagle under a 486 or not.

1)  Make the ZIP-Disk bootable from windows.
2)  Copy the loadlin.exe onto the ZIP-Disk
3)  Copy the desired rescue.bin, root.bin and drivers.tgz onto it
4)  Use the file install.bat and rename it to autoexec.bat
5)  correct the path to the files in it.

6)  Boot your computer with the ZIP-Disk.

I think, your CD-Rom will not be bootable on a 486...
But you can download the FIRST CD-Image of WOODY AND the rescue.bin, 
root.bin and the four drives-X.bin and put the six images onto floppy 
disks...

OK, I have only the DATA-partition (FAT-32) on it...
Because 

1. I can not use turkish Programs on german Windows
2. The Programs write in the Registry while installing
   so Programs of the first Win-Install do not work on 
   the second Win-Install 

For hda I use IBM DHEA-34330 and for hdc IBM IC35L060AV

Do it !
Put a new Harddisc in the IDE-Rack and install Debian...
If you like to mount the DATA-Partition from second Drive, 
make the correct entry in the /etc/fstab after installing 
and rebooting of the Base.

This is only, if you try to repartition a Harddisk.

Please note:

You canm select the HD2 with cfdisk and make changes !!! 

These are only virtuell !!!

At the end you mit hit "W" for writing it to Disk and 
confirm wit "yes". But if you do not like to partition 
the Drive, hit "Q" and you are backe in the Mainmenu 
without changing anything.

This will be very interesting...
Can the d-i be made to work with WOODY ?

I asume, that ich I create a new bunch of Package Tree from sarge 
that I get performance Problems with 486/P1 and maximum 32 MBytes. 

It is already difficult to get WOODY running.

So 386-CPU's not more supported ?
OK, even the 'Base-Install' of WOODY is overkill for a 386/dx40 with 
16 MB of memory. Can't used as Dial-In-Router with a 33600 Modem. 

I have tried it already and under WOODY it needs a 486dx33 with 
12 MByte of memory minimum.

Yip !!!

I have made a small Irda-Adapter/Dongle from a PC-Magazine. 
Connected to the Serial-Port. 

So, if I have my T1950CT and use a second Irda-Adapter/Dongle 
I can install via Irda-Link ?

This is very interesting for me.

In Iran and Iraq I have found many Computers 486/P1 which can have 
only one HD. there is no place/connector for CD-Rom. The Mainboards 
are All-In-One-Solutions with no aditional ISA/PCI-Slots.

So USB/Firewire can not used.
Most Computers are without NIC.

The other thing is, that they can not buy any new Hardware...
If you earn only 60-120 US$/month there is no possibility.

Note, that I am collection older Hardware for Kurdistan, Iran, 
Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

[WOODY] Need sugestion for Floppy-Install

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello, 

I am working since 03/1999 with Debian successfuly. For some month 
I have lost my last Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Workstation (I have 
never had Win32) by a lightning-stroke and now I am M$-Free. 

I am working on a very difficult Job in near east ans need the 
Floppy-Installation. 

For SLINK 2.1r5 it was no problem... 7 Base-Floppys and 73 Packages 
Floppys. 

Now I have tried it with WOODY but it does not work because 
dpkg-scanpackages...

The Version of SLINK was supporting the X-Medium Flag and if I have 
registerd all Floppys apt-get was asking about the numbered Floppy.

Now in WOODY it does not work anymore...

OK, I can register all Floppys, but when I install somthing, it tell 
me to put the Floppy in... I habe 140 Floppys - Where ist the *.deb ?

The Other thing I have tried is to make the whole Directory tree, a 
Packages- and Release-File and add the 'X-Medium: ' manualy to it. 
Unfortunately the 'X-Medium:' is not recognised by WOODY. 

Question:
=

Is there a solution like the CD-Rom Installation which ask for a 
numberd Medium ? or must I port dpkg-scanpackages for WOODY ? 
Maybe staticaly linked ??`?

I was thinking to make for each Floppy a Packages- and Release-File 
and put all 280 Files in a Package which installs in /var/lib/apt/lists
So no one must make the DJ after installing the BASE to register the 
other 114 Floppys...

Thanks in advance

I have SLINK 2.1r5 on 80 Floppy-Disks of 1.68 MByte

And if you have an older PC, you will find the RAWRITE.EXE to 
make the Rescue-Floppy, which is as rescue.bin on the CD...

Does the d-i pppd support ADSL-USB Modems ?

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello All, 

The curent Bootfloppies support only the pppoe installation with 
Ethernet-ADSL-Modems. 

Will the d-i support the ADSL-USB Modems, which atre very common in France ?
(Ericson, Thomson, Alcatel)

Thanks in advance

Hello, 

for some seconds I have written an answert to another one because I have 
installed WOODY 3.0r1 with the bf2.4 on a Toshiba T1950CT with 12 MBytes. 

It is the Hell !!! Around 9 hours to install the Base !!!

Suggestion: Thanks,

Re: d-i minimum system requirements

 4 MByte:   Try the old good SLINK with the LowMem-Disks
 8 MByte:   Will work with SLINK LowMem-Disks too
12 MByte:   Yea, SLINk Srandard Floppys are working. 
The POTATO LowMem will do too.
16 MByte:   POTATO and WOODY with standard Disks will work...
(Dont Ask about the Speed of installation)

I have installed WOODY 3.0r1 on a Toschiba T1950CT with 66 MHz and 12 MB 
of Memory and 340 MB Hard-Disk. Syslinux does not work so I have made a 
Dos-Partition of 3 MByte with the modified Win95b-Bootdisk (I like this 
Floppy with loadlin and rawread) to put MS-DOS 7.02, loadlin.exe, linux 
and the root.bin onto it. 

Used the bf4.2 Disks. The Laptop is fully suported with this Disks ;-)

Installed the 4 Drivers-Disks from Floppy. Configurung the Modules is 
the hell with 12 MByte of memory !!!

Done this I have downloaded via PCMCIA-NIC (3c589-D) the 'base' from my 
Workstation whitch have a full Debian-Mirror. 

Dont ask about the time consumed !!! - Around 5 hours to install the 
Basedebs !!!

>The current kernel used should make d-i usable on a 386 and newer for ia32
>arches due to math emulation being turned on?

Now, - You crazzy horse ask about 386 ???

OK, 386 Computers support only 16 MB of Memory !!! Even you have a fast 
40 MHz CPU it will be the Hell !!! 

Installing a small Modem/ISDN-Router on a 486 Machine in a resonabel time
need 32 MByte of memory to install and 16 MByte of memory for working. 

I think, the installation of SARGE with the d-i reqires minimal 16 MByte
of memory and a CPU 486dx4/100. 

>Does the installer require a CD-ROM drive or a network connection? I.e.

It works from Floppy... (CD is optional)

??? - Where Do you live ???
In Africa ??? Last Place in Congo ??? (Nice holliday here)
Or do you install via Cell-Phone and 9600 BpS ???
;-)

>What other minimum requirements are there?

Around 20 US$ an internet connection and an eBay-Account 
 to get a resonabel Computer...

Re: Combining all bootdisks on to one single disk (booting via usb-stick, installing from network)

Where is the problem ???

1)  put the root.bin into the root of your USB-Stick
2)  put the drivers.tgz in the root of your USB-Stick
3)  change your syslinux.cfg to point to your Floppy-root

and if you want, 

4)  put the basedebs.tar in the same location

or as alternative, 

5)  create a FSH (VFAT) on your USB-Stick and put the *.debs in it.

6)  additonal you can put other Packages on the USB-Stick too
(dont forgrt to create a Packages.gz)

Wired... 

I have installed Debian WOODY on two CF-Disk (64 + 32 MB) where the 
smaller one holds the /var where the dbootstrap download the files 
in /var/cache/apt/archives with around 27 MBytes... 

Never I have had problems with it. 

How do you partition your 96 MB Disk ???

On embedded Systems I have only:

hda1/   64 MB
hdb1/var32 MB

Please can you correct your RTC ??? 
It is 2 month in the past...

Have a nice day
Michelle
