Help! My debian machine has a mind of its own!
Hi, I have been using Debian 2.0 (from install disks) along with kernel 2.0.33 for the past month or two. My Debian box serves httpd, ftpd, telnetd for some friends: 24/7 on a permanent ppp modem link. It also has NT and with linux loaded off the NT boot loader. NT is the default choice. Recently: like within the last few weeks, many times when I get up in the morning, I just see the NT logon screen. And when I reboot and load linux, it says the partitions were not cleanly unmounted, and goes thru pages and pages of fixing and updating inodes and stuff. Implying that somehow it resets itself in the night. At first I assumed it must be short power failures, but it just happened afew minutes ago when I was in the next room and there was no powerfailure. Unfourunately, it has never done it while i've been there to see what happens: Which is funny because I use my machine at least 8 hours / day. I find nothing unusual in my syslog or kernlog either! :(. Any ideas what is going on? I am very desperate for help, because if this keeps going on, no doubt something important will get damanged when it unmounts uncleanly. (Right now just my mail files and stuff get fried).

I've also heard it's a question of how much ram do you have... I believe I heard somewhere, that the rule of thumb for swap space is 2 times the amount of ram you have. But you also need to consider how much swap space you'll need in regards to how much load you put on your system. If you have a lot of physical ram, and don't put much of a load on your system, then a big swap shouldn't be necessary. For instance, I have 96mb of ram, and a 48mb swap, but I don't put enough load on my system that Linux ever has to swap. In fact, most of my applications are cached, so disk access is virtually nill.

The correct story is that Linux won't use more than 128MB of swap in any given swap file/partition, but you can have multiple swap areas if this is a problem. 100MB of swap shouldn't be a problem.

Using lilo (linux loader) you can choose which (win/deb) to run at boot time, but no you can't run both simultaneously. As for the internet, well that's a pretty broad question. You don't need any other software, at least. Debian comes with all the software you need for this. As for "how to do it", well thats a *really* broad question :-). If your getting deb on a cd distribution, look for some kind of documentation directory on the cd(s). You should find somewhere, a whole bunch of FAQs, HowTos and other documentation. Look for ones about NetWorking/Internet. If your getting internet access thru an ISP via a dialup connection, you should start with docs about PPP, as that is what you'll need with debian (PPP is a communications protocol which is the favored way to connect with ISPs). If all of this gibberish to you, you should realy start at the beginning with a good book on Linux (as a lot of us did; I've go a stack of books about Linux and Unix in general). -- Ed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Linux and DOS: was Linux the hard way
After loading most of the .deb files to my Linux partition on hda, dselect ran out of space to actually install! I finally decided to just start over. I have swapped the hard drives around so DOS is on hda and Linux is now re-installed from floppy on hdc. The system would not automatically configure to boot from hdc and I want to have a dual-boot system for DOS and Linux. I know DOS 'needs' to be on the first hard drive, that's why I swapped them. How do I configure LILO to dual-boot this set-up? My current etc/lilo.conf reads: boot= root=/dev/hdc1 compact install=/boot/boot.b map=/boot/map vga=normal delay=20 image=/vmlinuz label=Linux read-only The DOS drive, hda is now mounted at /dos. I can then use hyperterm to load the .deb packages to the /dos drive to install. Sorry for the simple question but, I've looked through my past E-Mails and the how-to's and can't seem to find instructions for this. ( I'm probably blind by this stage, but I am determined to get Linux up and running on this machine if it kills me!) Thanks again for all your assistance and understanding.

backup s/w suggestions
I just got ahold of a Seagate TapeStor 8 GB IDE tape backup that I'm eager to use with my hamm system. I noticed that dselect lists out several different tape backup programs. I was wondering if someone could give me a recommendation. I'm not looking to do anything radical or special, just keep my Debian system backed up on a semi-regular basis, along with perhaps backing up a Win95 machine to the server also. Could someone give me a suggestion on what backup package I should start looking at first?
