May I ask, in all seriousness, and without a trace of sarcasm, where in the world (BUT preferably in the Debian installation instructions) one is expected to find this information? I was used to the old "cdu31a=0xPORT,IRQ" syntax from the boot prompt, or as an "append=..." line in /etc/lilo.conf

Anyhow, a few things you might check: 1. Not to be picky, but I noticed there's no closing quotes on the 'chat' section of your diald line.. Is that supposed to be that way? May wanna check it. 2. Do you have a dynamic IP address at your ISP? This was the case with my account and was causing a problem very much like yours. 3. Can your ISP accept a PPP connection? From what I understand, if you do have a dynamic IP address, it can be dealt with more easily from PPP, though it is possible with SLIP I think. Just my 2 cents.. Hope it helps!

heads-up about SCSI tape drives
I've been having a lot of problems with my SCSI tape drive in the
past week or so ("Unrecognizable archive", etc.). Another user
also told me in private email that he'd also been having trouble with
his SCSI tape drive. (I have an Exabyte 8505; I do not know what kind of
SCSI tape drive the other user had. I do not know if these problems occur
with DATs.)
Dirk Eddelbuettel kindly suggested today that I try the new (2.0.13)
kernel. I took his advice and it worked. (Nothing new there!)
Suggestion: if you have a SCSI tape drive, you might wish to check that
you can read from it, and/or you might wish to upgrade your kernel.

Can't remove sendmail with dselect/dpkg
In my original installation, I incorrectly selected sendmail (among other things ) to be installed. Upon further investigation, smail would appear to be the preferred mail transport device. However, dselect/dpkg refuses to remove it, or any part of it. "smail not installed, cannot remove sendmail" is part of the error message. Conversely, attempting to install smail generates the same type errors.. Can anyone help with this? * | [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * J.P. Houwen|PGP Key available upon request * * | [EMAIL PROTECTED]*

ALPHA: pe package - periodic execution
Hi! I just rewrote my pe program and made a debian package. Here is what it's for: pe is meant to be a simple replacement for cron(8) on sys tems that don't run 24 hours a day. On such systems, you can't normally specify a certain time when a job is to be executed. If you use pe you don't specify a time to run a command but how often the command should be executed. This period is given in days. Normally, pe is started after bootup. Since you probably don't want all your jobs running at the same time directly after bootup (that's the time when you normally log in and start your programs) you can specify a delay in minutes. pe waits this long before starting your program. pe has its own log files the tell it, when the jobs were executed last time so it always knows, which jobs it has to run. Best way of using pe is to add a cron entry that starts pe right after midnight, so in case your system is running for several days, the jobs still get executed on the right intervall. If this is useful for others too, I want to include it in the Debian distribution. I just tried to upload it to ftp.debian.org, but there is a note, that uploads should go to the /home/Debian/... directory which doesn't exist and I didn't had permissions to enter the /pub/debian/project/Incoming directory. So for now I had just placed it on my web space. Every one can get it via http://www.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/pe_0.2-1_all.deb and the source is http://www.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/pe_0.2-1.tar.gz Just contact me about bugs, spelling or grammar errors, or about any future enhancements. It would be nice if someone can give me some hints about how it can be included in the main distrib. Yes, I read all the FAQs/HOWTOs but they seem pretty old and I didn't find any information.

NFS trouble
Debian guru's, Here I am again in need of some assistance with this new release. I've been using NFS over a SLIP link to my laptop to access resources on the Debian box (like the CDROM, etc) with the R6 distribution for several months. Now, with 1.1 my laptop and another machine both using MiniLinux I keep getting the following message when trying to NFS mount any of the exported filesystems. mount clntupd_create: RPC: Program not registered What's going on here? I've checked the /etc/rpc file, and they're almost identical on the two machines. Have I forgotten to move something from the old R6 system to the new one, or is there something else I need to be doing to have this work? I've copied the /etc/hosts.allow, hosts.deny and so on from the R6 system. To make matters worse, it DOES NOT ALWAYS NOT WORK! I understand this may not be (or is it probably not) strictly a Deb1.1 issue, but was hoping to here something from the collective wisdom here that might help. Thanks Paul

re: installation boot fails with standard bootdisk on 486SX/33
I previously wrote: > Installation fails on this old machine shortly after hitting return at the > 'Boot Parameters' prompt using the standard bootdisk. Linux 1.2.13 runs fine. Additional info: after hitting return I get from 3 to 6 dots and then a 'bad disk' message. The disk is not bad, however. I divine from the messages I have seen that this is a problem with the boot loader on the boot disk, not linux. Also, that disabling cache may work to get by this problem. Unfortunately, disabling cache did not work. This machine is old but useful. I am helping a school district in Maine which has many such old machines and will likely be donated a lot more. We are trying to standardize on Debian so that the 20 to 50 people involved in support across the 10 buildings and 200 square miles of the district will have a common approach. The easy thing to do would be to upgrade the motherboard. Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks, Michael Laing
module cdu31a fails on insert
I am installing debian 1.1.1 from the August Pacific Hi Tech CD on my Gateway 200 PS-60. Things go OK until I try to add the cdu31a module to support the CDU33A CDROM drive in the Gateway: it fails to insert. The drive is defaulted onto 0x340; when I try to add a parameter to the module insertion it either fails the same way or gives me an invalid parameter message. So perhaps I am providing the parameter in the wrong format (could not find any documentation with the distribution on the format of module parameters) - or something else is wrong. Everything works OK using Slackware 3.0 kernel 1.2.13 with cdu31a support in the kernel. Thanks, Michael Laing

That would be the reboot runlevel. Somehow I don't think that's what you want :) But seriously, just put your commands in /etc/init.d/network and they will be executed at boot time. >I appreciate any suggestions here; the NET-2 HOWTO seems to be >geared toward the Slackware kind of system.
