Since January 2000 (with slink on Intel laptop), I study this problem and I
had a good solution that handles different ISPs thru PPP and different
SCHEMEs thru PCMCIA ethernet card.
Today, my laptop has a builtin ethernet card so I am studying again how to
switch between different network locations. In fact, I am studying only
the glue on top of the following tools: dnrd, masqmail and wwwoffle.
- dnrd Domain Name Relay Daemon allow all your running programs to use new
nameservers. Setup 127.0.0.1 as primary nameserver and dnrd will
forward requests to real nameservers.
- masqmail is a MTA (mail transport agent). It has special support for
connections to different ISPs.
- wwwoffle is a simple proxy server with special features for use with
dial-up internet links. In fact I had need it only because I can't
direct use HTTP at work. You need to use a perl script that's not in
debian package but in upstream tarball.
I discover today package noffle ``It does for NNTP what wwwoffle does
for HTTP'' but I have not try it yet.
With woody, /etc/network/interfaces can be setup to auto detect current
location with special mapping read examples in file
/usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces.gz
I use the following basic glue in /etc/network/interfaces:
#auto eth0
mapping eth0
script /etc/network/map-scheme.sh
map Work eth0-work
map Home eth0-home
iface eth0-work inet static
address 172.16.100.164
netmask 255.255.0.0
network 172.16.0.0
broadcast 172.16.255.255
gateway 172.16.1.254
up /bin/echo Work > /tmp/connect_route || true
down /bin/rm /tmp/connect_route || true
up /usr/sbin/dnrd -s 172.16.15.130 -s 172.16.15.129 || true
down /usr/sbin/dnrd || true
The script /etc/network/map-scheme.sh use content of file
/etc/network/scheme to select current location.
#!/bin/sh
iface="$1"
which=""
[ -f /etc/network/scheme ] || exit 1
lookup=$(cat /etc/network/scheme)
while read testval scheme; do
if [ "$which" ]; then continue; fi
if [ "$lookup" = "$testval" ]; then which="$scheme"; fi
done
if [ "$which" ]; then echo $which; exit 0; fi
exit 1
Switching location is then done by the small script:
#!/bin/sh
SCHEME=${1:-"none"}
DEVICE=${2:-"eth0"}
echo "$SCHEME" > /etc/network/scheme
egrep -q "^$DEVICE=" /etc/network/ifstate && /sbin/ifdown $DEVICE
/sbin/ifup $DEVICE

Re: still woody install problems
Hi! Ok, 3.0.10 works fine so far. I got rid of the mount problem. Thanks for your hint. But now the installation procedure hangs after the message "Install essential packages". Apart from switching between the consoles, the system does not respond to any commands. On the fourth console I have all the dependency errors with the last message being "Package 'sysvinit' is not installed and no info is available. ..." Perhaps anyone has an idea how to get around this new problem.

Use the fblevel tool instead. The ADB command only works on Lombards I bet (that's where I wrote it for). May even require patches to the ADB driver, who knows.

(email cc'd to that list.) We probably need to get a register dump of the CRTC1 and CRTC2 register sets, and somehow compare that with what you get after setting up dual display in MockOS, then booting bypassing the aty128fb driver (video=ofonly). If that even works. I can provide sample register dump code (and there should be some in the sourceforge atyfb project files as well). Consult the aty128.h header for register offsets. Yell and scream at the aty128fb maintainer if the CRTC2 offsets aren't in there ;-) Michael

Is the iBook2 really good?
Is the iBook2 really a good choice as an inexpensive Debian notebook? What are the bad parts of it? Can I just recompile x86 apps? E.g. I would like to run Ximian Gnome but they only have debs for Potato/x86. I have heard very different opinions on the G3 500 ranging from people saying it's as good as a P3 800 to opinions saying it's no better than a Celeron 300. I usually use Ximian Gnome and Mozilla and Gnumeric etc. Is the G3 500 strong enough for those apps? BTW I sometimes like to play games. Can I play Unreal Tournament comfortably or is the G3 500 too slow? Is there any x86 notebook you could recommend instead? Thanks Russell __ Do You Yahoo!?

Do you absolutely need _Ximian_ GNOME? GNOME 1.4 is in the main Debian archive, and the Ximian debs tend to be worse integrated into the system. > I have heard very different opinions on the G3 500 > ranging from people saying it's as good as a P3 800 to > opinions saying it's no better than a Celeron 300.
