Re: Install without floppies
Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have an older 486 machine that the floppy side is dead in. I have a sound blaster cd and sound card in it. That will not boot a cd and the only OS I have on it is Slackware. I would like to put Debian on it so I have the same system on all my machines. Plus I like it better. Stan said somting about booting to the floppy image copied to the Slackware partition using Lilo. I would like to have more details on this. If anyone can help please let me know. In the location: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/stable/disks-i386/current/ or on the CD you will find a document instal.htm. That document explains how to install Debian without a bootdisk. Unfortunately it only says howto boot the installation process with Loadlin (a DOS thing). To start the installation with LILO, you should add this section to your /etc/lilo.conf (and rerun LILO): image=/somewhere/linux label=debian root=/dev/ram initrd=/somewhere/root.bin read-only Note: I am not a LILO expert, and I haven't tested the above! The files linux and root.bin are available at the above mentioned site (or on the CD). You will also need to copy the file drv1440.bin to the harddisk. The installation process should be able to read the base system from the CD-rom. If that is not the case, then this file (base1_3.tgz) can also be copied to the harddisk before installation. This file should of course _not_ be copied to one of the partions where you intend to install Debian. If you are short of unused partitions you can disable swap and format the swap partition for this use.

configuring ftpd for anonymous access
Hi... I'm trying to set up anonymous ftp access (for no particular reason, truth be told - I just want to know how to do it) on one of my Debian boxes and I can't quite get it to work. I followed exactly the instructions in the ftpd man page, down to the file permissions, etc. What I get is - I can ftp to the box from itself or over the network and log in as anonymous. Then I can put files to the directory and they get transferred all right, and I can get files if I know their names... but, of course, as you may have guessed by now, I can't list the contents of the directories. It says that the connection has been opened successfully, but nothing comes out the other end. The directories have read and execute access for everyone, so that's not the problem... and I also did like the man page says and copied ls to /home/ftp/bin. I added user ftp with adduser --system (which, by the way, is broken in v3.5). I'm running a mostly hamm system, with netbase 3.02-1 and netstd 3.01-1. There's probably a simple answer to this but I'm not seeing it... Anybody out there care to shed some light on the problem?

How to set domain ?
I installed Debian a couple of months ago when I was using a PPP connection to the net. I just made up a hostname with no domain during the install and left it at that. Now I will have a permanent net connection with a static IP. I am using the name service of ml.org to make my system themarket.ml.org. I changed the /etc/hostname to themarket and added themarket and themarket.ml.org to /etc/hosts. I put 'domain ml.org' in /etc/resolv.conf. Everything looked ok, the /etc/issue showed up right and the hostname was fine in my prompt but if I type hostname --fqdn it only shows themarket and not themarket.ml.org. When I try to use pine it tells me 'Incomplete mail domain themarket' and that the return address on my mail will be incorrect. If I put the whole name in /etc/hostname, Pine works fine, but the issue file and my prompts both show the full name not just the 'themarket'. I installed the bind package hoping that might help, but no change. From the docs that came with bind it sounds like it needs a great deal of free memory, I only have an 8 meg system so I guess running named is a bad idea anyway ... How can I set the domain without screwing up the hostname ? As you can probably tell, I'm not very familiar with Linux yet, any help would be appreciated.

I had to take them out again to get any sense back into DSELECT. Would you expect this to happen or did I do something wrong?? This is to be expected. One of the goals for Debian 2.0 is to base it on glibc2 (aka libc6), rather that linux libc (libc5); this involves recompilation of all packages, making the difference between stable and unstable very large. It is probably best if you first make sure that you have done the basic upgrade for running packages from unstable right (http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html), then use the full Packages file from unstable, and answer yes to dselect's FTP method's question Do you want to select the files to get, then only select what you really want to upgrade (it could be that you have to do this multiple times, to get the packages that the packages you really wanted to upgrade to depend on).

That's all. The poster said nothing about using the card under WIndows. He asked for a SB16Pro compatible card, so I assumed he didn't want a too powerful card. My apologize if I was wrong. BTW: If he hadn't explicitly request a SB compatible crad, I would never have suggested one ;) I dislike the marketing politic of Creative Labs.

By the way Net Express on their web page (http://www.tdl.com/~netex/redhat/configuration.html) suggests what I understand as an alternative way of confuguring Sound Card. And provided they ship their systems with AWE 64 by default, described procedure should be applicable to this particular card. I took a look at the man page. It is neither very useful for Debian nor an alternative way to install a soundcard. I don't understand what you mean. It is a step by step guide through want you can achieve much simpler and less error prone with the debian utils like the kernel-package. No need to fuss with modules if you have dpkg. What is in contradiction with your HOWTO is they explicitly say that sound should NOT be compiled as a module as it will default volume and other settings each time application access audio devices. This will not work, because you can't initialize the PnP card in the kernel (well, you can with recent kernels, but beside that). So the sound card will not work, because isapnp has to be run before the modules get loaded. Debian already takes care of this. Who's wrong?

{Q} Several Questions on X
Hello, I have debian-hamm as of Dec. 19, (everything is libc6) installed. I cannot seem to get X to work when I am not root. It tells me that only root can run the server. I thought that there might be something wrong with permissions, so I reinstalled x-server-s3v. It installed OK with one error saying something about MAKEDEV cannot do something. I still can run X as root but not as a regular user. I changed /etc/X11/config to allow anybody to login, and I tried 'console' -- still did not help. What could I be doing wrong? Another Question I have is how to make a background image (JPG or BMP) to appear when I start my X session. BTW, I did try to comment out and enable back the option that starts xdm on start -- it did not help. Actually I am not sure I understand what xdm does -- when I boot by box I still get the regular text only prompt -- is it how it should work? I also start my X sessions by typing 'startx' -- is that a correct way of starting X (as a user or as a root)?

When I try to run it, I get an error about not able to load libXm (or something to that effect, I'm not in front of the machine).

Re: Wmaker (hamm) and menu pkg.
Hi, As a sidenote, this is my first reply to debian-user in nearly 2 months now. Last wednesday I finaly finished my PhD studies, and I'm _FREE_ now. Free to continue to work on my debian packages again. Or to read debian-user: I'm having a bit of a problem with the 'automagically' generated menus for the WindowMaker in hamm dist. I'd like to have slrn and mutt running under rxvt rather than default xterm window. My /etc/X11/wmaker/menu.hook starts with the warning :Do not edit this file.., so my question is: will I break something (like future updates) if I change xterm's with rxvt entries for mutt, slrn and ftp and telnet? Well, you won't break anything, but your changes will be lost right after you upgrade/install a package that includes a menufile. So, you don't want to do it anyway. What you do want to do is to edit the /etc/menu-methods/ file for you window manager (WindowMaker-- what's that? Is that a new window manager I didn't hear about, but does include a Menu-method? Fab!) You need to go to the supported section, and change the line that starts with text=. For the fvwm2 window manager, you would change the lines text= + \ escfirst($title,$hotkey,) \ cond_surr($icon,%,%) \ \ Exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm -T \ $title \ -e $command \n to text= + \ escfirst($title,$hotkey,) \ cond_surr($icon,%,%) \ \ Exec /usr/bin/X11/xrvt -T \ $title \ -e $command \n Note, that the really new menu-method files will include menu.h, so that you only need to change the indicated lines in /etc/menu-methods/menu.h, and every sufficiently new window manager will atumatically use rxvt for all text entries.

Re: configuring ftpd for anonymous access
I can't tell you how to fix your problem, but ftp is probably set to prevent anonymous users from seeing files they shouldn't. The administrator has to configure the system to be more open instead of configure it to be more closed. This seems reasonable. Most companies I work with have an incoming directory where anonymous users can drop files, but they can't see any filenames with ls. Maybe the philosophy behind the default configuration will help ease your frustration while you look for the solution.

Hi I'm trying to install slrn with slrnpull working, but the slrnpull.conf file that the readme says I must use as an example for writing my own is no-where to be found, and slrnpull don't seem to do anything w/o this file...

Lilo ?
Yo- I have Debian running fine on my first hard drive (/dev/hda) and I wish to add another disk and install Win95 on it (bummer). My DOS/Windows boot disks will not allow me to install Win on the second drive(/dev/hdc). Error message says, Remove NTFS or Disk cache...before continuing. The drive is formatted for DOS and is empty so I am at a loss. Any help/suggestion greatly appreciated! -Ian _ .__. __ __ | | .__. .__..__. .__. .__. \ \/ / | | | | | \ | | | | | | \ \ / / | | | | | |\ \ | | | | | | \ \/ / | |__ | | | | \ \| | | |_| | / / \ \ |__|__.|__| |__| \| |___| /_/ \_\ * DEBIAN GNU/Linux * -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I use it for almost all telnetting, rshing, etc. from my machine -- it automatically sets up display stuff correctly -- I can ssh from venus to jupiter in an xterm, run an xprogram on jupiter, and it'll show up on my venus display without me doing ANYTHING else. Besides which, ssh is much more secure than telnet. The only caveat is that you have to run sshd on both machines -- you can't ssh to a machine that isn't running sshd.

Re: Wmaker (hamm) and menu pkg.
What you do want to do is to edit the /etc/menu-methods/ file for you window manager (WindowMaker-- what's that? Is that a new window manager I didn't hear about, but does include a Menu-method? Fab!) It's a better Afterstep then Afterstep :) I swapped about two months ago and am in love... it's fast, stable and pretty (one of the few that gets more then 2 out of the previous three :). A much better version (0.12.3) is available from: ftp://simula.efis.ucr.ac.cr/pub/users/mmagallo/debian/wmaker If you're an Afterstep/Nextstep fan I strongly suggest you check it out. Adam.

Re: exporting xauth
Oh ssh does more than this. It tunnels the X protocol through it's own connection and creates a pseudo-Xserver on the remote machine. You could use scp to copy the file over before hand. The best option is probably to set up a script which you run from the menu. Daniel Martin at cush wrote: Richard E. Hawkins Esq.

Re: Interrupts and serial ports
The parallel port kernel driver doesn't use the interrupt by default, it uses polling. (It even says so in the boot messages, at least with my kernel.)

I'm not necessarily short on interrupts yet, but I figured it would be interesting of the slower items could just share an interrupt. Sorry, I've tested it with with my Psion S3a and an old 9600 bps modem. Even if the modem has no connection, it does not work. I think, that the kernel does not know, which port has data when the shared interupt occurs. So I have taken every port to it's own interupt. But my question is: Why can I share interupt with parallel ports? I have lp1 and lp3 on the same interupt, and printing and the access to my Zip drive works fine!
