Re: A question regarding hardware
George: But I do not think THIS promise card is supported. I have not seen any DMA33 support in Linux yet. The PCI driver recognizes the Promise Ultra DMA 33 controller in kernel 2.1.67 . It's not at all clear to me that the Promise driver does anything with this information. It may be recognized as a second IDE controller and then it may operate in non-DMA mode. You may need to run the development kernel. It's worth experimenting. Ultra DMA 33 motherboards currently run in non-DMA mode. I don't understand why there's no Ultra DMA 33 support yet.

Re: lilo and dosemu
On Sat, Dec 13, 1997 at 10:43:22AM -0500, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It is my understanding that you cannot use dosemu to access partitions which use the lilo boot system. This seems to indicate that the boot partition, normally dev/hda1, cannot be DOS on a dual boot system if you intend to use dosemu from linux. Two solutions are suggested by this. One So, as far as you understand (I do not know either), dosemu cannot access a partition which has LILO installed on it. However, you cannot install LILO into a DOS partition. For example, if your /dev/hda1 is DOS, you cannot install LILO into it -- DOS requires the boot sector (where LILO is located) for disk information, and your DOS partition will be inaccessible if you install LILO on it. You can install it into /dev/hda (the master boot record), and this might cause problems with DOSEMU *if* you told DOSEMU to give the whole disk to DOSEMU, which you probably don't want to do. You can always mount the partitions under Linux and lredir them to DOS drive letters. I recently moved a DOS server machine to run under DOSEMU, by plugging in the hard drive, mounting the partitions under Linux, and setting up a boot disk for dos to boot from. This works fine. hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.

Re: Debian 1.3 ignores more than 2 groups.
Pedro Sanchez [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: However, when user-name logs in and types groups he gets, $ groups user-name dialout Where is dip? In fact, I tested by adding user-name to more groups but to my surprise groups always returns the same two groups! My first guess would be that this is due to corruption in the /etc/group file somewhere between the group dialout (which works) and the group dip (which doesn't). Depending on the C library version, a bad line may cause the remainder of the file to be ignored. Look carefully at the /etc/group file between dialout and dip. Make sure every line is valid, that no colon is missing or misplaced. For example, early versions of Debian had the following error in the /etc/group file: sudo:*:27 :audio:*:29: dip:*:30: The colon at the start of the audio line should have been at the end of the sudo line.

Re: setting up a cable-modem
The card is made by General Instruments. The TV cable does go into the back of the card. In my house, we have only 1 cable box, and that's in the living room. My linux box is in my room. So there's no cable box within 25 feet of my computer. I read the cable-modem mini-HOWTO and it says that linux supports my ISP (MediaOne). The HOWTO says that it will detect the card, then use DHCP to talk with the 'net. I can't even get Linux to detect it. Debian won't detect it on boot, so when the boot prompt comes up, I type: linux ether=11, 0x300. This does not work either. Any ideas?

Re: AMD K6
There are problems with certain runs of the K6 and linux with more than 32 MB RAM. It's documented on their web page, along with how to return your defective chip for a good one. Since you have to send it to them first, I just switched the K6 we had into a winders95 box, and it runs happily. So if you get a new chip then it shouldn't have any problems? AMD fixed that problem around September, I think. That's when I got mine. Runs like a charm.

Re: setting up a cable-modem
The card is made by General Instruments. The TV cable does go into the back of the card. In my house, we have only 1 cable box, and that's in the living room. My linux box is in my room. So there's no cable box within 25 feet of my computer. I read the cable-modem mini-HOWTO and it says that linux supports my ISP (MediaOne). The HOWTO says that it will detect the card, then use DHCP to talk with the 'net. I can't even get Linux to detect it. Debian won't detect it on boot, so when the boot prompt comes up, I type: linux ether=11, 0x300. This does not work either. Any ideas? Might be unrelated, but I think that no spaces are allowed in arguments; i.e., linux ether=11,0x300 is more correct. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

No problem ;-) You will have to install '95 on the first primary partition. Don't let the install make the partition as it will glomm onto the whole drive if you let it. Use a DOS rescue disk to make your first primary partition. Then install windows on that partition. Don't use dos fdisk to make the other partitions, as they will not work for Linux. You will need a rescue disk, a drivers disk and 5 base disks, plus one blank disk to do the base install without a CD-ROM.

Re: Problem with booting after moving from 128 to 64M

Now I have excluded that possibility. Now I wanted to test memory (128M) by removing 64M at a time and changing the lilo.conf mem statement. After I have done that the computer does not boot anymore. It stops after line VFS: mount root If I replace all 128M it boots fine, but it does not work with any combinations of 64 Megs Any clues? This looks very similar to what happened to me last week. I had a system that had 384MB RAM. I needed to downgrade it to 128MB. I changed the line in /etc/lilo.conf and built a boot floppy, BUT I forgot to change the script /usr/sbin/mkboot to reflect this change. The system would hang whenever it got to the VFS: mount root ... line during boot just as you describe. I had to: 1. boot off a debian rescue disk 2. manually mount the rootfs on /mnt (after switching to the shell on Alt-F2). 3. put a blank floppy in, and 4. cat /mnt/vmlinuz /dev/fd0 5. dismount /mnt and reboot. This got my system back booting from a raw kernel on the floppy, but only seeing the default maximum of 64MB RAM. I then edited /usr/bin/mkboot to include: append = mem=128M and reran it. Then a reboot got me back to the 128MB RAM as intended.

MTA hostname masquerading, and local mail delivery
Hi, There are a lot of things about mail delivery that I'm unsure of right now. Having put more time into thinking about exactly what I want, I've become less certain about my configuration needs. Originally I thought it best to masquerade globally, as this is not email client specific, which is important in case I decide to try out another mail client, and exclude root. The problem is that all mail gets queued up for the smtp server, and mail to root is undeliverable (even when connected to my smtp server). Now I'm thinking I want to masquerade the hostname on a user by user basis (at the system level, for outgoing mail) and also for mail from and to local users to be delivered locally without the smtp server being in the loop, if that is consistent--it sounds complex and I don't know if it is or not. What I mean is that I want mail from root to [EMAIL PROTECTED] n to be delivered without the smtp server ever knowing about it, and vice versa. Does anyone do this? Which MTA do you use? Where are the rules or facilities to configure this? I'm willing to try just about anything that will work. If I've lost my marbles, please suggest something better. -- David Stern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://weber.u.washington.edu/~kotsya/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: samba [off-topic]
I think you're confusing the network client with the network protocol. Win95 will quite happily see lanman servers running on TCP/IP, IPX/SPX or NetBEUI, so it'll see samba just fine.

Does anybody have any opinions on the above cards running at those bus speeds (37.5MHz or 41.5MHz)?
