Networking problem

My ISP: Road Runner Central Florida (cable)

I had been able to connect with kernel 2.20 vanilla from woody, following
the instructions given in http://home.cfl.rr.com/aawtrey/  , the connection
was slow.

After compiling and installing kernel 2.4.18, that dind't work any more.
Here is an excerpt of my dmesg:

eth0: 3c5x9 at 0x220, 10baseT port, address  00 60 97 5c c7 4a, IRQ 12.

The cable modem is connected to eth1, here is my interfaces

# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
# modificado por mi a mano
auto lo eth1

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth1 inet dhcp

This I changed following instructions given in
http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick/  (which by the way is very good!)
I doesn't work either. Please help. Thanks,

Kuvert Application Problem

2002-08-06 Thread Daniel J. Rychlik

Hello,

I have recently installed the kuvert application from debian.  I'm
running Debian testing on a 2.4 kernel.  When I run the kuvert
application from command line, I get this error -

Sh: /tmp/kuvert.0.26244/subprocess: No such file or directory
Cant clean /tmp/kuvert.0.26244: cant opedir/tmpkuver.0.26244: No such
file or directory.

Any Ideas?
Sincerely,

Daniel J. Rychlik

Re: So ... Re: Maildirs in Debian

2002-08-06 Thread Jarno Elonen
 /etc/default/maildelivery

 [...]

 Any packages treating with system mailbox handling, should use the
 first word in the first line of this file, to determine how to
 configure themselves.

Sounds very good, but are you sure this is feasible enough to implement?

It would probably be quite easy to make the packages *install* a proper 
configuration file per debconf, for example, but making them react correctly 
to changes in the /etc/default/maildelivery file *after* installation could 
prove difficult. It would probably require heavy patching (making the 
configuration file readers understand conditionals, for example)?

I guess the permissions on your /tmp-directory are off, should be 
 something like
drwxrwxrwt8 root root 2048 Aug  6 11:17 tmp

Also, which version of kuvert are you using?

cheers,

Re: lilo on /dev/hdb to work as /dev/hda

2002-08-06 Thread Jeremy C. Reed
  I have /dev/hdb that is a mirror of /dev/hda. It is not a image copy
  though, so files may be in different sector/cylinder locations.
 
  I want to be able to pull the /dev/hdb and /dev/hda out; then replace
  /dev/hda with this /dev/hdb.
 
  So when I do this I get Lilo's L error message. It can't find the second
  stage boot loader.
 
 The easiest solution to this problem is to use software RAID-1 for the 

Thanks for the idea, but I don't want a real-time snapshot.

Anyways, can lilo be used to setup a boot loader on /dev/hdb so that if
you physically move it to /dev/hda and boot it will boot successfully?

Again, it seems like the bios= option is not relevant, because it really
will be /dev/hda.

What is the most appropriate mailing list for lilo discussion?

Can grub do what I want?

Thanks,

This is a shot in the dark, but could you use the bios option to install
lilo onto that drive.  Then use a boot disk to boot off of it.  Once
it's up, you could then change the bios option back to 0x80, and rerun
lilo, and should be all set.

I think I did something similar once, and it worked for me.

Yes, this can be done. The trick is you need to tell lilo to install itself
on hdb, boot the kernel on hdb, but pretend that everything is hda. The best
way to do this is;

mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt
lilo -r /mnt -b /dev/hdb1 -M /dev/hdb

where /dev/hdb1 is the hdb root partition, and you want to use a normal mbr
with lilo installed in the boot record of that root partition.

 Again, it seems like the bios= option is not relevant, because it really
 will be /dev/hda.

Grub would make things a little simpler, because it delays any sort of
locating of kernel etc on the disk untill boot time. It can do this because
it is a whole little OS of its own that understands filesystems. Personally
I find grub overkill.
