Ok. You got me there. If your kernel is detecting the device, you're looking pretty good. Next you may need to create the device files. You should run: /dev/MAKEDEV qic While will create /dev/tpqic11, /dev/ntpqic11 (rewinding, non-rewinding respectively) and so on for format types 24, 120, 150. Once that's done (and assuming all the device configuration is correct) you'll be able to do things like: tar -cf /dev/tpqic11 /home/myhomedir Ok? Sorry to point you toward the useless Ftape howto. Note that there's information in there which can be applied (or adapted) to QIC-02 since not all of it is specific only to QIC-80, etc. (Like stuff on how to make an emergency repair disk that will allow you to restore from tape.) -- Jens B.

Hi.
I myself use the following ugly trick with my SyJet. It works only
because all other filesystems I use are on IDE drive. I have my
SCSI adapter driver compiled as a module which is loaded on startup.
When I want to use the SyJet, I just rmmod and re - insmod this module.
Device is detected.
I am sure there is another way to do it though.

G'day Torsten, First of all, I don't have anything to do with the Debian Amiga group, so what you are getting are observations from a user, not the "offical party line". AFAIK, There currently is no Amiga Debian rescue disk around, but you can get Debian on your Amiga if you are willing to work on it. You have to get amiboot and a amiga Linux kernel image. You will also need the Debian root.bin file and the base*.bin files. I cannot really tell you what next to do, as this is where I am up to.

Torsten wrote: > Hello, > here are Torsten from Hamburg, Germany. I have Interest on a Linux > Package for the Amiga 1200. > Can vou help me? > Thanks > Torsten First, there is a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" list. It is not currently intended to be a "real users list" such as this one. Debian Amiga Linux is still in development (though like the present development i386 version, it runs pretty good). At the moment, installing Debian Amiga Linux is a _very_ difficult process as the Debian Amiga installation files do not appear to exist yet (the Atari ones showed up in the archives a few days ago). One way to install that works (or at least did for me (three time so far), is to get the needed files from: http://www.tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de/~brederlo/debian/ and follow the instructions (there are a couple of minor errors in the instructions -- for instance, there is no "system.map" file to unzip as called for in the shell script "DoUnGZip" (the files are instead located in the vmlinux archive file). This installation gives you a Debian 1.3 installation. Personally, I strongly suggest that you only install the minimum installation when dselect is first run. Then upgrade from libc5 to libc6 EXACTLY as specified in Scott Ellis' mini-HOWTO using dpkg (NOT dselect). The upgrade every package that has a "list" file in /var/lib/dpkg/info by hand using dpkg (except that you can skip the ones already done using Scott's instructions). You will find that you will have to install a couple of packages that were not already on your system (dkpg with point these out to you as dependency requirements) Once you have completed these steps you should have an operational Debian M68K Linux system that you can upgrade and add packages using dselect or dpkg. It appears to me that the two distributions (m68k and i386) are functionally identical once the "first time" installation is complete with the exception that (at the moment) there is no lilo for Amiga and the files necessary for booting (including the kernel image) must be located on an Amiga partition (very similar to a PC loadline boot). Also, the Amiga hard disks are _very_ different from PC hard disks but fdisk/cfdisk appear to the user to function is exactly the same manner as the PC version. Note however, that for some reason the "classic" partition type identifier numbers on the Amiga version are new NOT the same as used on the PC version (whichmight confuse a PC type if you were asking for help -- ie: there are Linux native and Linux Swap but they are NOT type 82 and 83). There are no limitation as to which disks or partitions can be booted (for the Amiga). There is no such thing as "primary", "extended", and "logical" partitions on the Amiga. There _might_ be a limit to the maximum size of a single partition (somewhere around 4 GB I think) but I am not if even that applies to Linux or not. In general, every partition can be bootable regardless of location on the drive or which drive the partition is located on. best, -bill __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

What you're seeing is just a feature of Pine - by default, the fourth field in an index listing is the sender of a message if it isn't you, or "To: Recipient name" if it is you. Frankly, I think that this makes a lot more sense than always showing the sender of the message, especially when browsing your "sent-mail" folder.

Re: Best partition distibution for new install.
I would not suggest worrying about using logical partitions in Linux. Though I don't really know, I suspect that there might be a little more overhead in accessing them (at least for mounting) but even if there is some for an aready mounted partition, it is my experience that you won't "see" the difference. I personally know that I have had at least 3 primary and 4 logical partitions per drive. It seems to me that I have had more than 4 logical partitions on one drive but memory being what it is (mine that is), I can not be certain. As to having both a stable and unstable Debian Linux system on your machine at one time... I have had as many as five different Linux systems on one machine at the same time (two Red Hat, two Debian, one Unifix) plus DOS and OS2. No problem (though getting DOS and OS2 installed under such circumstances can be a serious pain!) Sharing directories... While I am sure that there are many opinions about this, mine is that it is fine to share /tmp and /swap. Sharing /home is, at least in my opinion, some what dangerous. Many configuration files will exist in the users' directories and you may find yourself with incompatible versions. I don't necessarily see this a a big problem, just one that will 'bite you' at the most unexpected times. Also, if you want to play around with things like mail deliver systems, having a common /home might cause you to break your mail on all systems. I see /usr/local as a different matter. Right now, the libc5/libc6 "problem" with Linux could cause you problems if you have a /usr/local/bin, usr/local/lib, etc. but otherwise I think it should be "safe". On previous configurations, I always shared /usr/src but with a debian system, I think even that can be problematical (a solution, I believe is to always install from only one of the systems -- but I have not tried that yet). best, -bill robert havoc pennington wrote: > How hard should I try to avoid logical partitions?

I have some experience with partitions (otherwise I wouldn't have been so categorical above).In short, Mess-DOG says you can have 4 main partitions in the partition table. To circumvent that limit, one of these (called "extended") can be sub-partitioned with a "logical" partition table contained in the "extended" partition. The information contained in these partition tables are, essentially, the beginning cylinder and the size of the partition. There is therefore no possibility of interleaving partitions without either further subdividing a partition (writing new device drivers in the process), or completely leaving the MS-DOS partition system. Linux, AFAIK, reads in the information, records the beginning and ending sector of each partition, and that's it. I do not think that Linux, in acessing the content of partitions, makes any difference whatsoever between partitions in the primary partition table and the extended partition table beyond that point. > > Anyway, I'm hoping to share /home, swap, and /tmp between the two systems. /home is a good idea. I don't think /tmp is a good idea, because ISTR /tmp is used and must be usable before beginning networking. I consider /tmp to be one of the essential directories, along with /etc and /sbin. Of course, mounting something on /tmp means that you could have written something before, since the mount point is a directory ;-) > > Are there any other directories I can share? Maybe /usr/local?

If you seek to have the _same_ things on on a network (installing one copy of an executable), it is a good idea. If you seek to have _different_ things (stable and unstable), it is a bad idea. I have no further experience in this domain, but I imagine you could have a shared fs for things you want on both, like /usr/local, and the things you want different in /usr.

Well, logical partitions reside inside physical partitions, obviously. (Forgive me if I go over some basics; other people may be reading this.) The drive has a physical partition table at the start of the disk, which specifies where the partitions are, and has space for four entries. Then, inside a physical partition, you can put another partition table and make logical partitions. You further subdivide the physical partition into logical chunks. This does defeat one of the purposes of splitting things into partitions, though. If you put all your eggs in one basket by using one giant partition, and something screws up that partition, you are hosed - everything's lost. Splitting things up into separate partitions limits your risk - most likely only one partition at a time will go, and recovery is easier. With logical partitions, though, you don't have quite the same protection. A single error on the physical partition can hose all the logical partitions in it. Then there's the performance question, which, I'm sorry to say, I'm not too clear on. I always thought that the logical partitions were at least physically separate within the partition, like so: [-][-][(logical 1)(logical 2)][-] phys. part. 1 phys. part. 2 phys. part. 3 phys. part. 4 But I've also heard that logical partitions can interleave with each other, like fragmented disk files. If that's really the case, then the performance hit could be fairly substantial, and the risk of data loss in case of an error even greater. I'm curious now, and I'm going to investigate it. I'll let you know what I find. If someone reading this knows the answer, please let us know. > I'm about to get a new mainboard and disk to replace my trusty 386sx, > and I was hoping to use more than four partitions. Well, I've used them before (*way* back when Linux only supported 16MB swap partitions). I made a 32MB physical partition and split it into to 16MB logical partitions.

If you're going to be installing different versions of packages, you should probably not share any more than the first three.

okay..

problems with booting from PCMCIA SCSI drive
I've a desktop system with an external SCSI disk which carries my Debian GNU/Linux V1.3 system. Now, when I want to connect this drive to my portable using an inserted SlimSCSI 1460 card, I've to make an initrd image (on my desktop), which I've read in the PCMCIA HOWTO (dated Oct 9, 1997) since the kernel does not include the PCMCIA drivers. When I run the script pcinitrd to create an initrd image, I get a message that the systty could not be found. Since I suppose that it is not included in Debian, I removed it from the pcinitrd script and gor the initrd image. When I then use Loadlin to boot from the portable using an zImage and the (gzipped) initrd, I get the following messages: ext2fs warning: mounting unchecked fs VFS: mounted root VFS: cannot open root device 08:02 Kernel panic: VFS:unable to mount root fs on 08:02.

Laptop users using a PCMCIA network card can add the following to
their /etc/pcmcia/network.opts script to have their system
automatically poll for mail while the computer is connected to the
network via the PCMCIA card:
# Extra stuff to do after setting up the interface
start_fn () {
fetchmail --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc --syslog --daemon 300;
return; }
# Extra stuff to do before shutting down the interface
stop_fn () {
fetchmail --quit;
return; }
Point-to-point protocol (PPP) users (whether or not they use a PCMCIA
modem) can place
fetchmail --fetchmailrc /etc/fetchmailrc --syslog --daemon 300;
in the /etc/ppp/ip-up script and
fetchmail --quit;
in the /etc/ppp/ip-down to achieve the same effect.
Place all of the fetchmail polling instructions (see the fetchmail(1)
man page for more details) for all of your users with POP or IMAP
accounts in /etc/fetchmailrc. Since it contains passwords, make sure
that this file is not world readable, that is use `chmod 600
/etc/fetchmailrc' to change its permisions.

I was looking through my logs and found that I had been spammed directly from a couple of mailhosts. Considering that I'm on a dial-up connection that's a pretty good trick.

TIS Fwtk Servers and dpkg-ftp
Hi,
I was bored (insomnia actually) so I decided to sit down and figure out
how to hack dpkg-ftp to run over the TIS-FWTK FTP proxy we have here.
The chat for the firewall looks like
user
pass
user @
pass
It's an authenticated [EMAIL PROTECTED] type firewall. I know a few other ppl on
the list are behind such a beast. The trick to allow dselect to run is
amazingly simple, in /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp edit the files install,
setup and update.
In each of the three files look for the line
if(!$ftp->login($::username, $pass)) { print $ftp->message()
Directly after that place these two lines:
$ftp->_USER("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
$ftp->_PASS("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");
Replace with the ftp server you wish to use and your email addy. Go into
dselect and configure the ftp method. Set the server to be your firewall
address and user + pass to be your firewall authentication. Be sure to
disable passive support (n)
Plug in the proper info for the rest and tada, dpkg over an evil sort of
firewall.
Oh, if you happen to be behind a simpler [EMAIL PROTECTED] firewall without
authentication then you can bypass it transparently by setting the
environment variable FTP_FIREWALL to the address of your firewall, set
dpkg-ftp as if you don't have a firewall.
Hopefully g'night,
Jason

Emacs and PCMCIA cards
Hi Whenever I have PCMCIA cards running on my (Toshiba) laptop it is impossible to open emacs from the console (rather than in an X environment). Emacs just hangs and the only way to stop it is to kill the process from another virtual console. Recently, after using my modem, and then removing the modem card I tried to run emacs and received teh following message: eth0:trigger-send() called with the transmitter busy. Why should emacs interact in this way with (presumably) the card manager and how do I overcome the problem.

Yes. 3.5.17-1 has real troubles - in particular it is slow and the screen
flashes black at times. The later versions run smoothly and have a little
more in the way of functions - e.g. background transfers.
BTW, The unoffical mc_4.1.11-0.1_i386.deb is libc5 and thus bo compatible.

Re: change IP
You will have to edit the file /etc/init.d/networks... you will have to change IPADDR, and maybe BROADCAST and GATEWAY, depending if you change subnets.

The documentation that I have found on the disk and on-line so far just slides over this part of the installation. (2) If the answer to (1) is "No," then: (a) Do I need to load a device driver during installation and issue commands to it so that my floppy drive will be recognized (a standard 3.5", 1.44 MB drive configured as drive a:)? (b) What should I do during the installation to get the system to recognize the CD-ROM attached to my Soundblaster 16 PnP (Win95 tells me it's a Matshita CR-581-M attached to a standard IDE/ESDI controller; the IRQ is 10; I have no idea what the port number is; all the jumpers have been removed). (c) Will I need to perform a "mount" command after I log onto the system as root? (3) At the moment, I am not sweating about my printer, mouse, or modem. I am presuming that once I get onto the CD, that I should be able to fix those things. Is this a good presumption?

laptop problems
I just installed bo on a Fujitsu Lifebook 535Tx. It's working, but there are a couple of glitches I'd like to solve. Initially, I couldn't get Linux to load from the boot floppy (or anywhere else). At first I thought this had to do with shadow RAM, since the installation instructions say to disable shadow RAM, but the Lifebook's BIOS setup doesn't provide any way to do that. But with some experimenting, I discovered that telling the BIOS to disable both primary and secondary cache, I was able to get Linux to load, and all went well after that. Now, even though this seems to work, I have some questions: 1) Does telling the BIOS to disable L1 and L2 cache have any affect on Linux? I would guess not, since Linux doesn't tend to pay any attention to the BIOS, and since I haven't yet noticed any performance degradation (Win95, on the other hand, is REALLY slow with this setting). 2) Why was this preventing Linux from loading? 3) What affect does not disabling shadow RAM? Does it just decrease the RAM available to Linux (/proc/meminfo does seem to report about 1.5 MB less than 16 MB I'm supposed to have)? Or can it cause more serious problems. 4) Is there any way to disable shadow RAM, if the BIOS setup doesn't offer it as an option? Is there any way to reclaim the lost RAM? Another curiosity: When I went to run fips to shrink the win95 partition, I found, instead of just one large partition, there were four partitions: The first was almost the full 2 GB, the second and third were empty (zero length), and the fourth was 4 MB, but of "unknown" type. I was a little worried that some win95 feature was using that last partition, so I was afraid to delete it. Luckily I was able to shrink the first partition and put Linux swap and native partitions as the second and third, and leave the fourth alone. I can live with the loss of 4 MB of my hard disk if I have to, but I'd like to know why it's there. Does anyone know of anything might be using it? If it's something in win95, is there anyway to find out? I had thought this 4th partition might be used by the "Save to Disk" option for the suspend function. But win95 claims it uses a file in the main partition (I think). Thanks. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= David S.

I'm about to get a new mainboard and disk to replace my trusty 386sx, and I was hoping to use more than four partitions. Another question: I was thinking of installing both stable and unstable. They can be rescue partitions for one another, and if unstable does weird things while I need to get some work done I can abandon ship and switch to stable. Also I can play with unstable without fear of destroying my only system. :) Anyway, I'm hoping to share /home, swap, and /tmp between the two systems. Are there any other directories I can share?

Re: Installation SONY CD-ROM
CDU31A/CDU33A Driver Info - Information on the Sony CDU31A/CDU33A CDROM driver for the Linux kernel. Corey Minyard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Colossians 3:17 Crude Table of Contents --- Setting Up the Hardware Configuring the Kernel Configuring as a Module Driver Special Features This device driver handles Sony CDU31A/CDU33A CDROM drives and provides a complete block-level interface as well as an ioctl() interface as specified in include/linux/cdrom.h). With this interface, CDROMs can be accessed, standard audio CDs can be played back normally, and CD audio information can be read off the drive. Note that this will only work for CDU31A/CDU33A drives. Some vendors market their drives as CDU31A compatible. They lie. Their drives are really CDU31A hardware interface compatible (they can plug into the same card). They are not software compatible. Setting Up the Hardware --- The CDU31A driver in unable to safely tell if an interface card is present that it can use because the interface card does not announce its presence in any way besides placing 4 I/O locations in memory. It used to just probe memory and attempt commands, but Linus wisely asked me to remove that because it could really screw up other hardware in the system. Because of this, you must tell the kernel where the drive interface is, what interrupts are used, and possibly if you are on a PAS-16 soundcard. If you have the Sony CDU31A/CDU33A drive interface card, the following diagram will help you set it up. If You have another card, you are on your own. You need to make sure that the I/O address and interrupt is not used by another card in the system. You will need to know the I/O address and interrupt you have set. Note that use of interrupts is highly recommended, if possible, it really cuts down on CPU used. Unfortunately, most soundcards do not support interrupts for their CDROM interfaces. By default, the Sony interface card comes with interrupts disabled. +--+-+--+ | JP1 | 34 Pin Conn| | | JP2 +-+ | | JP3 | | JP4 | | +--+ | | +-+ | | | | External | | | | Connector | | | | | | +-+ | +--+ | | | ++ | | +--+ JP1 sets the Base Address, using the following settings: Address Pin 1 Pin 2 --- - - 0x320 Short Short 0x330 Short Open 0x340 OpenShort 0x360 OpenOpen JP2 and JP3 configure the DMA channel; they must be set the same.
