Problemas LILO
Hola. No se si os acordareis que hace un tiempo escribí pidiendo ayuda sobre LILO. Bien, pues, resulta que formateé el disco entero y volví a empezar... pero me encuentro con problemas aun. Voy al grano: mi ordenador tiene dos discos duros de 3,2 gb cada uno. En el primer disco tengo una partición primaria DOS de 2,1gb y una partición extendida DOS de 1,1gb. En el segundo disco tengo otra partición extendida DOS de 1,6gb, la partición de LINUX que ocupa 1,4gb y el swap de 0,2gb. El primer disco se llama /dev/hda, y el segundo /dev/hdc. La partición de linux se llama /dev/hdc3 y la de swap /dev/hdc2. Ahora viene mi problema... He intentado instalar LILO, y parece que me lo instala bien, pero resulta que en teoria NO SE PUEDE ARRANCAR DESDE EL SEGUNDO DISCO (los dos son master, no hay ninguno slave), y por lo tanto, aunque esté el LILO bien configurado, no puedo arrancar, y siempre lo hace con windoze. Alguna solucion? Por cierto, mi LILO.CONF es así: -EMPIEZA LILO.CONF-- boot=/dev/hdc3 delay=50 vga=normal #EMPIEZA DOS other=/dev/hda1 label=win table/dev/hda1 #ACABA DOS #EMPIEZA LINUX image=vmlinuz root=/dev/hdc3 label=linux rad-only #ACABA LINUX ---ACABA LILO.CONF Os agradeceré mucho cualquier ayuda.

3COM 3C_916
Hola a todos:
Tengo un PC con una tarjeta de red 3COM 3C_916 y
me gustaria poder conectarme a la red.
He buscado en internet si estaba soportada y
solo he encontrado referencias a las 3C_900 y 3C_905
¿ Sabe alguien si esta soportada esta tarjeta o si hay
alguien trabajando en ello ?
Saludos.

Si alguien tiene dicha impresora le agradecería que me enviase sus filtros pués yo para crearlos-usarlos lo he hecho con el magicfilter, con los filtros de la deskjet, los cuales no me funcionan del todo bien. Por ejemplo si imprimo texto si funciona bien pero al imprimir un documento de LyX ( ps, creo) se ve muy mal (no confundir con el efecto escalera, pués no es el caso). Agradecería tambien que me digan donde tengo que poner, y como, los filtros pués como yo siempre lo he hecho con el magicfilter no se donde ubicar cada cosa. Saludos, J. Parera P.D.

2.1.x version of ipmasq!
For those of you running the bleeding edge development kernels, I modified
the /etc/rc.boot/ipmasq script (from Debian's ipmasq package) so it can be
used with either ipfwadm or ipchains.
You'll need to add variables EXTERNAL and INTERNAL to your
configuration (/etc/ipmasq.conf). These variables should be set to the
corresponding interface, in the same manner as the IPs are configured.
Here is an example:
EXTERNAL=eth1 - added
EXTERNAL_IP=198.109.162.43
EXTERNAL_NETMASK=255.255.255.224
INTERNAL=( eth0 eth2 )- added
INTERNAL_IP=( 192.168.100.2 192.168.200.2 )
INTERNAL_NETMASK=( 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0 )
I made up eth2 to show how multiple adaptor could be configured.
... it also doesn't require the /sbin/ipmasq program included in Debian's
package.

BTW- I've sent a bug report with my updated version to the maintainer.

Please allow me to jump in here with a related question. I was seized by urge
to compile Gnome-0.2 this past Friday night (on this Debian 1.3 box), so I've
had occasion to build imlib over the weekend.
Problem: I've built imlib without gif support since I had trouble compiling
the giflib stuff. I've since compiled giflib, but now that it's compiled the

Is this an indication that something's wrong with my build of giflib? I'm
holding off on doing a 'make install' until I figure this one out, but then
I'd like to the gif support in imlib also.
TIA for any light shed on this murky realm!

Hi all, I would like to know if anyone knows a book that he found usefull as a reference to linux, of intermediate/advanced level, and preferably one that does not specialise on non-debian distributions (ie one with lots of examples that are irrelevant to debian).

Debian is not that much different from other Linux dists. so do not worry if it says it is for slackware, SuSE or even the evil RedHat. Linux really is Linux. And if you read and learn rather than just memorize facts, you can figure out what is happening.

Re: Linux install problem
Greets, Fdisk can delete the logical partitions, but its a separate option (delete logical vs. delete primary). Try DOS's fdisk again, and delete the logical partitions first, then delete the extended partition (DOS won't let you delete an extended partition untill all logical partitions in it are deleted). For the Linux partitions, use cfdisk to create them, not DOS's fdisk. FWIW, I've personally found that cfdisk can cope with lots of things that cause DOS/Win95 fdisk to choke badly. For eg. I had a disk with an NTFS psrtition, which DOS fdisk stubbornly refused to delete, no matter what I did and how much I swore at it. Booted with my bo rescue disk, fired up cfdisk, and managed to wipe it out with no problem. There you go, a linux rescue disk is a very valuable tool, even for DOS users! damon -- Damon Muller ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Systems Administrator EmpireNET Melbourne, Australia -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: problem using staroffice 4 (fwd)
other email i wrote your, said that i had problems with the instalation of one program. It was StarOffice 4. I was working with glibc and today i change to the none-glibc version of debian. I could install staroffice without problems. When i read some documents, there said that Staroffice cant work with glibc, but i had also programs that requiered glibc. What can i do?? I want to work with staroffice, and with my other programs too!!. You can run libc5 and libc6 programs at the same time with debian. All you need to do is ensure that you have libc5 and libc6 installed on your system. That's all. The StarOffice README's mention the requirement for recent libc5 and libm, but you don't need to worry, as debian has versions that suit the requirements.

Re: HELP: w/ grep on a log file.
THank for looking into this everyone. Turns out that the sed is not necessary. The date + %a %b %d statement needs to be modified! I really need to get my shit together. The correct statement is date +%a %b %d where the space between the + and the %a needs to be removed. So the actuall statement could look something like: grep $(date +%a %b %e) arch.log I am using the %e instead of the %d to strip the leading 0 from a day such as ( 01 - 09).

XF86Setup/Mouse Device
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone that responds to my inquiries. I
find it amazing that so many people take the time to help out others less
knowledgable.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid I have more questions. It seems every time I try
to do something, it generates more problems.
1) I have succesfully installed XFree86 and am now attempting to run the
XF86Setup routine. In trying to get the mouse to work it appears to me all I
should have to do is select one of the 'devices' and hit 'apply'. However,
I tried all possible device options and none got a response from the mouse.
(The mouse says Microsoft right on it, so I assume 'Microsoft' is the
correct protocol. I tried different protocols with the 'inbortbm' device
and still got nothing.)
The real problem is I don't understand how 'devices' work. I found a
'MAKEDEV' command, but I'm not sure what this does. Is there a command to
query the contents of '/dev/smouse', etc.? Plus, if I run a command like
'MAKEDEV' it would obviously create a new file in '/dev', but how would it
know to hook up to the mouse port on the machine?
2) I have several other miscellaneous questions, although not necessary,
would make my life a lot easier. When I go to '/var/log/messages' ( or any
log file for that matter) I get a huge file. Does this file clear
automatically somehow eventually or does it just keep growing forever? There
must be a command to clear log files.
3) The 'find','locate', and 'dpkg -search' commands would be great if I
could get them to work. Logged in as 'root' if I type 'find filename'
from any directory it should find that file anywhere in the system?
However, it doesn't do this for me. Am I doing something wrong?
4) The last questions is a repeat from a previous post. I am trying to make
it so a 'user' can run 'pon'. ('pon' currently runs fine when logged in as
'root')
A response from Martin Bialasinski suggested that I use the following command:
adduser theuser dialout
Although this command ran fine and added 'theuser' to the dialout group,
when logged in as theuser I still couldn't use the 'pon' command.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

PPP dial-up in HAMM
Dear Debian (Linux) users, I installed Hamm today from my Win 95 partiton (hda1) onto my Linux partitions (hda2 /, and hda3 /usr, hda4 swap). I beleved that I set-up PPP correctly, following the procedure to not configure a network hook-up in the initial install and then followed the PPP setup utility once it rebooted (using the custom boot disk because I kept the DOS/Win95 boot sector). I selected no PAP or CHAP (my ISP says they don't use them) and setup my modem correctly typed in my username and password. Said yup everything looks okay. It started dialing to my surprise (hey this is better than win95) but it said it couldn't find ftp.debian.org (the ftp site that I told it to goto in dselect). I then tried using ping to see if I could ping my name server (the only decimal-quad string I knew) and no packets got through. I then realized that I never had to input the address of the nameserver or my provider (excel.net). I decided to try a reinstall (it only took me 15 min) and setup PPP with PAP the default choice (maybe my ISP tech help was wrong?) but it still didn't work. Can anyone help me with this delema, what set-up do I have to do? I am hoping to install Hamm completely by FTP (perferibly without copying all the .deb files to my win95 partition).
