rawrite2 and OS2?
Hi all: I'm attempting to create a first time Linux installation using the 3.0 raw *.bin files from debian.org. I found that I was unable to write the disk images using rawrite2.exe from OS2 on either an hpfs or fat partition. I was able to create the disks from win95. Under OS2 rawrite2.exe reports attempting to cross DMA 64k barrier, or something like that shrug. Am I doing something wrong? The reason I ask is that the W95 partition is the partion that I want ot use to install linux. I figure I just might need to be able to make more disk images at some point, g. Also the base-1 to base-5 bin disks, plus the driver and rescue bin disks are a minimum install? Does this include tcpip stuff or is that extra? I've only got 100 megs to play with so I would appreciate some advice on what kind of stuff a newbe should try etc, oh and where to go get it ... g.

Machine rebooting randomly
Hi, A couple of people here (including myself) are trying to set up a router (IP forwarder really) based on Debian. We have an old 486 (it's a Cyrix 486-40) with 4 MB of RAM for the router. According to what I have found on the web, this should do the work. We have installed Debian using the lowmem procedure (kudos to the developers, very very cleaver!) and it works. I replaced the kernel with a custom version that has EVERYTHING stripped (I mean it... this thing has the necessary network functions, netcard, IDE, ELF and nothing else) and uses as little memory as possible. I started stripping other things too, for example, there aren't virtual terminals, the only way to get in is via telnet or rescue floppy. setserial is gone, and I was thinking of disablig the syslog daemon, too. The problem I have right now (and this showed up long before I started tweaking the computer) is that the machine reboots randomly. For example, I was using ae to edit /etc/init.d/network to add a second interface, and the machine rebooted. I was looking for /etc/modules to remove the modules for the ethernet card and the machine rebooted. Sometimes the machine boots, stays there for a while minding its own bussiness and it suddenly reboots. Sometimes it sits there for a little longer. In fact, I used dselect to fetch some upgraded packages via ftp, and it completed successfully (even installed perl... which I didn't want, WTH!) While I was recompiling the kernel I read something about no-hlt, but I haven't tried it yet. Also, I read about no-387 but I guess this disables FPU (which I didn't know was requiered) emulation. I'm recompiling the kernel optimized for a 386 not a 486, and I stripped the floppy (physically and from the kernel). Pointers are sincerely welcomed...

Debian for PPC Macs
Hello, I want to buy a new box and wonder about some alternatives to the Intel (compatible ... I think of K6) architecture. I've got the following information from Johannes Ramm-Ericson: I just came across the following information: * This announcement is from: Apple PR Apple Computer, Inc. today announced that it has reduced prices made available to resellers on select Power Macintosh 6500 and Macintosh Performa 6400 series computers. Effective July 12, 1997, this move cuts prices on these popular computers by up to U.S. $300. The price cuts are consistent with Apple's strategy of providing the industry's most powerful and easy-to-use computers at competitive prices. ... (some stuff deleted -- ask me if you are interested in the complete text) The PowerMac 6500 series does not yet fully support MkLinux but there are people who have reported being able to install it. Also, some have installed Linux for PMacs (www.linuxppc.org) on the 6500 series. What about Debian on Macs? If I'm right, in the unstable times of bo there was a binary-m68k - tree. This tree now has moved to unstable/hamm. Does this mean that Linux for Macs is only unstable?? I havn't compared the contents of the m68k tree with the i386 tree. Is the amount of packages the same? I need a very stable system on my new box because I will use it far distant from the internet (the prices of phone calls are quite high in Germany). I can't relay on the good support of the mailing lists and can't load some packages via ftp. Is there anybody who would recommend to by a PowerMac if it is the better (faster) hardware or shoul I stick to the Intel compatible?

Re: missing file
ok, well when running 'make config' it gets to the sound driver part and lists 4 or 5 *.h files that call for stddef.h, which can't be found. This happened the first time I tried compiling my kernel. Copying /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/include/stddef.h into /usr/include seems to do the trick.. I am going to try one more thing, but I still can't get the AWE drivers/util package to do anything during kernel compilation.

Re: missing file

Although I knew the answer, I asked it
http://sunsite.tut.fi/finder/
and it also told me your package is libc5-dev or libc6-dev.
I had to re-install debian in
attempts to get my AWE32 drivers to work. I had this problem the first
time around and can't remember how I fixed it. BTW, someone mentioned
running 'make-kpkg clean' to get things into order so that the AWE
drivers package would take hold, but I still try to compile the kernel
and the driver is not evident, there are no questions relating to the
AWE driver during 'make config'.
Ah, you're compiling your kernel and then you get a missing file
stddef.h? Although I've never kompiled a kernel the debian-way,
I'd say your kernel package isn't installed properly, as the kernel
provides (and uses) it's own header files. Don't know what went wrong.
the install.sh script executes
without error, and the files are moved into /usr/src/linux's
subdirectories. Anyone know what might be going on?
I really should take alook at the debian kernel packagre some day!
Looks rather strange to me, but never mind.

compiling ftools on debian machine
Hi
I have been trying to compile a package called ftools on my debian P5-166.
Initial problems with X libs were solved by installing xlib6-dev_3.2-6.deb,
but now I have a problem with termcap. According to the FAQ on compatiblity
one must replace all references to libtermcap with libncurses to get stuff
to compile on debian. I have a two lines in the ftools makefile:
LIB_COMMON =-lcftools -lcfitsio -lftools -lxanlib -lfitsio \
-ltermcap -lpgplot
LIBXSEL_COMMON = -L${FTOOLS_LIB} -lxron -lftools -lxanlib -lfitsio \
-ltermcap -lpgplot
I have tried changing -ltermcap to -lncurses, but get:
ld: cannot open -lncurses: No such file or directory
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Matt.
P.S. A quick thanks to the debian mailing list - it has been more helpful to
me in the past than any commercial support service.

Selecting the location for the swap partitionx
Hi. I'm new to Linux. And I'm definitely still in the playing around stage. I've installed Debian 1.3.1 on a 486/50Mhz with a 233mb hard drive. I didn't make my Linux partition big enough, so I'm going to repartition and reinstall Linux. My question is about the partitioning for swap. If I keep MSDOS in hda1, should my swap (24mb) be hda2, or hda3? My question stems from having the swap file closer to or further from the front of the disk for access speed... like it matters on an older slower drive like that. ;-) Tony - -- Evil Twin - one_spike the Man, the Myth, the Legend in His Own Mind - //~/ ~\\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]\\~\ ~// one_kill! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: major PPP packet loss
Well, after several more hours of tinkering, I'm tracking down my problem. I changed the USR factory settings on my modem. My connection would still crash out. So I let a ping session run for an hour to see what happened. Here is a sample of the results: round-trip min/avg/max = 210.0/361609.2/2969940.0 ms So my connection isn't dropping completely. I'm just losing an insane amount of packets. Any suggestions? If all else fails, try upgrading the ROM in your modem. I haven't been following this thread, but just recently I put in a new ROM for my Sportster 28.8 (which now makes it a full 33.6 FWIW). In doing so, it did actually increase the stability of me connection (ie., quakeworld runs better, longer ;) Of course, this may not apply if you already have a newer modem.

Re: Debian for PPC Macs
My conclusion is if I buy my new boc next week I should buy a Intel, if I buy next year PPC or Alpha. Right? this is pretty much what i've come to. If i could buy an atx ppc motherboard now, I would. but i can't, so i won't :( And I'm not willing to own another apple proprietary design which is, for all intents and purposes, not upgradable ($1500 to replace the motherboard so that i can have a ne $500 processor is not upgradable). IBM's workstations with ppc are a bit much for my taste, leaviang intel alpha. And an alpha seems to start at an extra $1000. I'm leaving in a few days for a workshop, so I'll buy second week of august. If the Hot 603 motherboard is out, and reasonably priced, i'll try for one of those with a k6. If not, I think it's a FIC 2011 with a K6-200. I've found I can get that in a full tower with 3gb, 32mb sdram, video card, and cheap tape drive for about $1200. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

setting time via a server?
I currently use a small script/executable combination named st/gettime to set my system clock via an atomic server. This is done as a cronjob at 3am and immediately after the system time is written to the cmos time (clock -w). For some unknown reason, once and awhile when I come in to my office in the morning, the time is correct, but the date is advanced forward by one day. Is there some other method of doing this that will set the date as well as the time from a internet server? st will only do the time. Also, I would prefer not to run xntp - it seems wasteful to me to have it running continuously to just set the clock every 24 hours. Can xntp be used as a one-off program and put into a crontab?

Re: Debian on Compaq Deskpro 6000 [Summary and Solution]
I'm sorry for starting a thread and then not responding but I got really busy. I thought I'd post a summary of the advice I got and what I eventually did to get Debian up and running on this system. Thanks to the many people who responded to my question both on the list and privately. Special thanks to Igor Grobman and Peter Galbraith who offered to provide a custom kernel for me. Luckily I have other Debian systems so I could compile this myself but I appreciate the offer. This was the problem. After much whining and pleading I was given the Compaq to replace a 486 as my Linux system at work. I made a rescue disk and began the install but part of the way through the boot process, the machine would spontaneously reboot. I assumed it was because of a bad probe of some peripheral most likely the network card. The simplest suggestion was to disable the network card. I tried this but the problem remained. So it must have been some other device. I tried to disable as much as possible from the BIOS but I couldn't figure out the culprit. Carey Evans described a way to stop probing certain memory addresses which maybe could have worked -- if I knew which were the right addresses. I tried to guess a couple of ranges based on its DOS configuration but no dice. Another suggestion was to compile a custom kernel to replace the one on the rescue disk. This kernel would only have the exact drivers needed by my hardware. After some research into exactly what I had (no documentation :-( ) I did this. Still didn't work. I discovered I also needed to copy the System.map. Ok try again. Still didn't work. Hmmm maybe I'd guessed some of the devices wrong? That's when I had an idea. I found out the Deskpro 6000 can boot directly from CD. So I tried it and... didn't work. The next time, out of sheer desperation, I tried typing linux rescue at the boot prompt instead of just enter. Miraculously, this worked! After that it was plain sailing. The only other hitch is for the Ethernet card to be reliably detected, you have to do some trickery with a boot floppy and loadlin but this is explained in the Ethernet HOWTO and is quite straightforward. -- Jaldhar -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Crazy Ultrasound card
You probably only miss the right kind of connector on the Ultrasound or the right kind of cable, depends on how you think about it :). My SB 32 has two CD audio connectors. They both have left, right and two ground pins but the shape of the connector and the pin assignment is different. The CD-rom also has left, right and two ground pins. I think there are three things you can try. Ask for a working cable from the place you bought the Ultrasound from, ask your friends for any extra cables or try to fix the existing cable. Both my CD-rom and SoundBlaster manuals have the pin assignments printed on them. // Heikki Jason Killen wrote: I just bought a Ultrasound sound card, used.

The width is ok but the height is about half what it should be. Is there a way to fix this? Most likely they're not vertically compressed. Rather they are simply Standard, rather than Fine, resolution. There's a program included with efax to stretch them the way you expect to see them. -- Jens B.

ppp traps script output
I have a script to start ppp that was written when I was running slackware. This script allows me to choose among several isp numbers and several option files. It displays the number being called, reports when the connection is up, and records the time connection is made. When ppp is stopped it reports that ppp is down and displays the length of time the connection was up. These messages are displayed using the echo command. It is rather verbose, but that is the way I like it. When I started using debian 1.2.0 last winter, I found that this script worked, except that the output while the connection is being made is suppressed. I have just discovered the file /etc/ppp/connect-errors, which contains all of the messages I have been missing. I can not find any reference to this file in the documentation, and I don't know if pppd or chat is responsible for redirecting these messages to the file. How can I cause these messages to be echoed to the console as I intended rather than being redirected to this file?

/etc/ppp/ip-up behavior
The pppd man pages say that the ip-up and ip-down scripts are executed with standard input, output and error streams redirected to /dev/null. I would like to use these scripts, but I want them to echo messages to the console. How can I overcome this redirection to /dev/null?

I don't recall seeing anything to that effect (but would be very happy if it were atx). ATX. You will find the technical spcifications following the transAM/Maxxtrem links. rick Stig Are M.

Everything seems to be stable. The serial ports don't work as far as I can tell, but the modem works fine, and the PS/2 mouse works fine. Just a suggestion, but if you bought a board it should be able to run at 'normal' clock rates and not require adjusting like that. IMHO you have some kind of faulty hardware if this is required. You might have some device/memory/whatever that doesn't like the 75MHz bus speed however... I had a board that would nuke Win95 in some strange cases, mostly due to PCI bustmastering it seemed, turned out to be bad ram -- though the ram didn't fail any of the tests the supplier put it through after I told him about it. I'm sure if I put linux on it I would see symptoms like you do, crashing during kernel compiles and such. Is this a 430TX based MB? Jason Nah, it's a Gigabyte GA-586S, based on the SiS5571 chipset, Award BIOS. 32 MB EDO, 512K cache plus whatever the internal cache on a 6x86L 200+ is. It is on the Cyrix recommended list as well, and has specific documentation for setting up with this CPU (Cyrix 200+ has a 75 MHz bus speed; if your MB runs it at 60 MHz bus, you effectively have a 200 * (60/75) = 160.) I guess it's going back... I don't know whether I want to get another clone on another kind of board, or go to intel and get a Pent 120 for the same price.
