O q pode ser traduzido

1999-06-06 Thread Gleydson
Ola Thiago,

Seria interessante a tradução de documentos já prontos ou
prontos/em revisão, que tem maior parte do seu objetivo
atingido, muitos documentos na página manuais existentes e
sugeridos estão ainda em fase de desenvolvimento em alguns
sendo planejados.

Os prontos e prontos/em revisão são: 

-Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
-Debian-user FAQ-O-MATIC
-Linux Magazines

Estes acima, pelo meu ponto de vista, deveriam ser os primeiros 
a terem suas traduções iniciadas, eles são uma importante fonte de consulta 
para o usuário iniciante e experiente (quem afinal nunca teve dúvidas que foram 
solucionadas com uma simples consulta em uma FAQ quando iniciou no Linux?). 

Os dois acima estão de acordo com os termos da distribuição 
Debian. Quanto ao Linux Magazines, ele é formado por matérias 
das revistas Linuz Gazette, Pluto Journal, L'Echo de Linux
(descrito na página), é necessário verificar a sua licença e
direitos autorais antes de iniciar qualquer tradução.


Ainda sendo desenvolvidos:

-Debian Tutorial
-Debian User Reference Manual
-Debian System Administrator's Manual
-Debian Network Administrator's Manual

O Debian Tutorial atualmente vem apresentando grandes 
evoluções, acho que em breve estará terminado e teremos 
condições de fazer uma tradução sem problemas. Há 2 ou 3 
meses atrás o seu conteúdo poderia ser comparado ao 
Debian Network Administrator's Manual que temos hoje.

Os outros documentos estão muito imcompletos, é preferivel
entrar na tradução de um documento já desenvolvido do que passar 3 meses (ou 
mais) fazendo alterações na tradução de um documento que ainda está sendo 
desenvolvido, que ocorre com muita frequencia.



Quem se candidata a iniciar a tradução destes?

Vamos la pessoal, colocar isso para frente :)

Concordo, é importante que um voluntário da lista possa verificar 
a possibilidade de tradução de possíveis documentos selecionados
pela lista, sem violar os direitos autorais. A maioria (quase todos) 
os documentos desenvolvidos dentro da comunidade Debian podem ser 
distribuidos/copiados livremente, isto está dentro do espírito da 
distribuição.

Colocar em uma pagina disponivel seria bom, se quiser eu coloco na minha, 
pode mandar para o meu E-Mail.

Paulo Henrique Baptista criou uma página para abrigar as traduções, 
projetos desenvolvidos. Bom, com o crescimento do projeto de tradução, e 
aumento do número de voluntários, provavelmente será necessário a divisão de 
responsabilidades e tarefas entre os WebMasters da Lista (novas versões da 
documentação, projetos a serem desenvolvidos e iniciados). 

Espero que isto aconteça(não estou dispensando o abrigo e responsabilidade que 
Paulo Henrique ofereceu em colocar e manter a documentação dos projetos em sua 
página, mas é uma situação que toda a lista deseja).

Os usuários da lista provavelmente decidirão quando isto deverá ser feito, 
desde já esperamos contar com voce e Cristiano Anderson.

Recovering the original boot sector

1999-06-06 Thread Jor-el
Hi,

When I purchased my PC, it came with Win95 preloaded. After
installing linux on it, lilo did back up the original bootsector and
stored it in /boot, but over the past two years, and after a couple of
Linux reinstalls, I lost the original bootsector (blush). Now, I am
planning to reorganize my Win95 partition again, and I need to recover the
original bootsector.

The CompUSA support people that I talked to said that there is no
way I could recover just the bootsector - they could recover to the
original configuration shipped. But this is useless to me.

They did say that 'fdisk /MBR' would recreate the original
bootsector. So here is what I propose to do :

1.  Take backups of th existing bootsector. Create Linux bootdisk.
2.  Run 'fdisk /MBR' from within Win95. This should wipe out my existing
partition table in the MBR (first 512 bytes).
3.  Reboot using my Linux boot disk. Now create a copy of the old (backed
up) bootsector (file A).
4.  do 'dd if=/dev/hda of=/boot/B bs=446 count=1'
5.  do 'dd if=/boot/B of=/boot/A bs=446 count=1'

This should give me the original bootsector with the current
partition tables. Am I right? Or am I shooting myself in the foot? Better
ideas are welcome.

Yeah, xdm is more paranoid than startx.  You can disable access controls
by running, as alisdair, xhost +.  Check the man page for more info.

Effectively, if you reinstalled Linux, the boot0, have gone.

They're (unfortunately) right, MacroSOB products don't care about other OS;
making 'fdisk /MBR' will bring you back to the beginning... winbrock only...

You MUST have a Linux boot floppy to reboot under it, and re-run lilo to recover
your multi-boot (silly, isn't it?)

Re: How do I access dos partitions?

 Hi, as a novice linux user, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to 
 access my dos partition from within linux.
 My computer is setup with a linux partition, a linux swap partition and a dos 
 partition.

Create a directory where you want the dos partition to be. Lets call it
dos/ in /.
then just issue a command 
mount partition /dos
where partition is /dev/hd??, where your dos partition is located.
You may have to specify a filesystem type:
mount -t type partition /dos

For that to work the support for that file system type has to be compiled
into kernel (dos and vfat are usually there by default).

 Also, is there any program that will let me choose which operating system to 
 boot up with? 
 Any help is greatly appreciated.

LILO.

Monitoring remote server

1999-06-06 Thread Christian Dysthe
Hi,

we have recently gotten our web server set up running Debian slink (What a
joy!). I was wondering what the easiest way would be to monitor the
server and get an email and/or page if the server goes down. I have seen some
tools that are available in potato (one of them being bigbrother), but I would
not like to experiment on a web server serving 2.000.000 hits a week
installing from unstable. The easiest would maybe be to run something on my
workstation (Debian potato) that monitors the web server (the web server is
only accessable for me over the Internet, no lan etc).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

TIA

Repartition swap?

1999-06-06 Thread Fu-Dong Chiou
Hi,

Is there a way to repartition the swap space?  I think I don't need that 
much swap, and want to squeeze out some extra partition for filesystem.   
The whole filesystem is on an extended partition (the primary partition 
is a DOS system) and I did not create logical drives of it, so the whole 
HD looks like hda1, hda2 (hda5=filesystem  hda6=swap).  I don't know if 
I can do it from DOS, since fdisk will not tell hda5 from hda6).  I 
don't know if I can do it from Linux, since after I delete hda6, and 
recreate a partition, I cannot seem to create two partitions on the same 
space.  Anyway, am I out of luck?


Best wishes,
Chip

From the Sound-HOWTO (should be in /usr/doc/HOWTO on your system, unless
you purged the doc-linux-* packages)

  6.29.  Can I use a sound card to replace the system console beep?


  Try the oplbeep program, found at
  ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/apps/sound/oplbeep-alpha.tar.gz

  Another variant is the beep program found at
  ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/patches/misc/modreq_beep.tgz

  The modutils package has an example program and kernel patch that
  supports calling an arbitrary external program to generate sounds when
  requested by the kernel.

  Alternatively, with some sound cards you can connect the PC speaker
  output to the sound card so that all sounds come from the sound card
  speakers.

LPR/LPD error

Since I installed slink, I cannot print.  lpr.log shows an error message lp: 
filter 'f' terminated (termsig=13) but when I try to print, as root, using lpr 
filename  /dev/lp1, nothing comes out of the printer.

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here?

dselect/APT problems

1999-06-06 Thread fairfax
I am having a bit of trouble getting some packages installed from the slink 
distribution.

I have main and contrib on CD, and I have non-free in a separate partition on 
one of my hard drives (I wasn't able to find CD's for this).  This was not a 
problem under the last version, as I could tell dselect that I was mounting 
from a directory that was already mounted, and it never noticed that part was 
on CD and part was on the hard drive.

I am not using Apt, as according to the documentation, and in my experience, it 
has trouble with the CD's.  I am using dselect with an access method of 
multi_mount -- this seems to be the only way to get dselect to recognize both 
the CD's and the partition.

But when I use dselect to install, it runs through a certain portion of the 
packages, and then just stops, doesn't install the rest, and doesn't seem to 
recognize that the rest are still scheduled to be installed.

In past distributions, as I recall, this indicated that there were broken 
packages yet to be handled.  So I removed all broken packages from the install 
list, and re-ran install, but it still doesn't do anything with the rest of the 
packages slated for install.

I don't want to use apt-get with HTTP or FTP, as long as I have everything 
downloaded locally.

How can I get the rest of these packages installed?

Quick mounting question

1999-06-06 Thread Craig McPherson
Over the past few days, I've been slowly getting my Debian system 
set up, and I have a quick question about mounting.  On hdc, I had 
128 MB of unpartitioned space, so I decided to make it another 
Linux partition and decide what to do with it later.  It was the only 
Linux partition on hdc, so after installation, I decided to mount it as 
/lib, just so the disk wouldn't be totally idle.  I mounted it as a 
temporary directory, copied all the files from /lib over to it, and then 
set it to mount as /lib in fstab.  Now, my questions:

1.  Are the original files from the /lib directory on hda1 (my /) still 
there, but just invisible because another filesystem is mounted as 
/lib, or are they gone?  I didn't think it would be a very good idea to 
delete them before mounting the new /lib, because I worried that 
stuff wouldn't work very well without access to the lib files.

2.  In the future, if I decide to use my 128 MB partition on hdc for 
something else, how should I go about that?  Will everything break if 
I unmount /lib?

3.  When installing Debian packages, I often see Warning: 
/lib/somethingorother.2 is not a symlink.  Is this because /lib is 
mounted on a different filesystem?  Are there any consequences of 
this warning, or is it harmless?

4.  Was mounting /lib on a different filesystem a completely dumb 
idea to begin with?  What's something else I could put on my 128MB 
filesystem?

Thanks for any help.  I'm going to boot back into Debian  wrestle 
with X more  try to figure out why pine isn't working.  Good day.


Re: Quick mounting question

The files in the original /lib will still exist, unless you manually
deleted them. However, *don't* do this - it *will* break your computer.

2.  In the future, if I decide to use my 128 MB partition on hdc for 
something else, how should I go about that?  Will everything break if 
I unmount /lib?

Yes, everything will break (for all practical purposes - see below for
true technical explanation).

3.  When installing Debian packages, I often see Warning: 
/lib/somethingorother.2 is not a symlink.  Is this because /lib is 
mounted on a different filesystem?  Are there any consequences of 
this warning, or is it harmless?

I suspect this may be an unrelated bug in the package. I have seen
similar warnings myself, but do not have /lib mounted on a separate
partition.

4.  Was mounting /lib on a different filesystem a completely dumb 
idea to begin with?  What's something else I could put on my 128MB 
filesystem?

Now for the bad news - mounting /lib on another partition will not work
(someone please tell me if I am wrong) because the libraries in it are
required for booting the computer, and before partitions other then
the root partition have been mounted. If you can find a to
boot up to the point where /lib is mounted, everything should
be OK

So to answer your question above, will unmounting /lib break your
system? the correct technical answer is that, no it won't break your
system if it is already running, because the computer still will
be using the old copy of the libraries for critical functions (eg
/sbin/init). However, I don't think this is the answer you were looking
for. If this doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about it.

However, deleting the old copies of the libraries, will break your
system, and won't be able to boot again.

A better approach would be to do the same thing for /usr, as /usr is
not required for boot. However, have a rescue disk handy in case you do
anything wrong and can no longer boot.

Others should be able to point out step-by-step instructions to prevent
accidently hosing your computer. However, it looks like you have already
done a significant part of the job yourself for /lib. You didn't say how
you copied the files though - make you you preserve the file permissions
when you do so. cp -a will do the right thing and recurse into
subdirectories.

Thanks for any help.  I'm going to boot back into Debian  wrestle 
with X more  try to figure out why pine isn't working.  Good day.

I much prefer mutt to pine ;-)

Sound Card Problem

1999-06-06 Thread Adilson dos Santos Dantas
Hello Debian users!!

I finnaly initilize my sound card in a Slink using kernel 2.2.9. But I
had to load DOS drivers and use loalin before loading the sound modules
(Without this step, I can olny use audio CD ). I can play midis and some
wav without any problem. But some wav and all my MP3 sounds horrible in
linux. I don't have any problem with theses files in DOS/Windows.

I would like to know how to configure this soundcard for playing MP3 and
how to ionitilizes this card without booting from DOS fist.

This card, by Windows information, is an Aztech Sound Galaxy. Windows 95

any card that can be used by Windows and Linux without any problem).

Configuring Zip Drive

1999-06-06 Thread Adilson dos Santos Dantas
Hi!

How can I give Zip Drive support in Linux 2.2.9. When I used monkey
(kernel 2.0.30), I can load the Zip Drive module using a script that
unload the printer , load Zip and mount it and another that umount the
Zip and restoure the printer. But it's not easy to use my Zip Drive in a
slink with Kernel 2.2.9. At boot time, the ppa drive say that it cannot
detect the device :(

I use the following modules:

parport_probe
parport_pc
parport
paride
scsi_mod
sd_mod
ppa
lp

But, ppa drive give the error message when it loads but lp module
connects the printer without any problem. If anyone knows how to config
kernel 2.2.9 (It can be any kernel 2.2.x) for using  Iomega Zip Drive
and the pronter at the same port, reply this message.

Using hold (dselect)

Is there any simple way to toggle hold on all installed packages?



Installing from disk

1999-06-06 Thread Morgoth3
I'm installing my debian system from floppy disk, since I cannot use 
internet, due to having an AOL account (stupid parents.)  Is there a way I 
can take large files and get them onto floppy disks?  Even compressing some 
files wouldn't allow them to be transferred, and I was wondering if there was 
a way to do this.  Perhaps using tar?  I'm only familiar with zip files, from 
Windows.  If you know a way to split files up, please let me know.  Thanks.

tetex weirdness

1999-06-06 Thread Joseph Chung
I use TeX primarily for lilypond music typesetting. Ever since the upgrade
from hamm to slink, I've been frustrated with tetex. Does creating the ls-R
database really need to take 30 minutes on a K6-2/333? Does xdvi really need
to take 15 minutes to pop up? Anytime I try to do anything with tetex,
kpsewhich is eating 98.6% of CPU for 20 minutes. Did I screw up the install or
is this normal behavior for tetex?


Re: Repartition swap?

1999-06-06 Thread Bob Nielsen
Partition Magic 4.0 ($-ware) will do this.  The CD-ROM has some files you
can copy to a floppy which is bootable (DOS), so you don't need a Windows
OS to use it.  I recently used it to wipe Win98 off my HD and repartition
it all for Linux, including chaning the size of the swap partition
(enlarging it in this case).

 Hi,
 
 Is there a way to repartition the swap space?  I think I don't need that

 The whole filesystem is on an extended partition (the primary partition 
 is a DOS system) and I did not create logical drives of it, so the whole 
 HD looks like hda1, hda2 (hda5=filesystem  hda6=swap).  I don't know if 
 I can do it from DOS, since fdisk will not tell hda5 from hda6).  I 
 don't know if I can do it from Linux, since after I delete hda6, and

 2.  In the future, if I decide to use my 128 MB partition on hdc for 
 something else, how should I go about that?  Will everything break if 
 I unmount /lib?
 
 Yes, everything will break (for all practical purposes - see below for
 true technical explanation).

Assuming the technical explanation below is right, it's possible.
1. Install sash or something just in case it severely breaks.
2. Make sure you know how to boot to single user mode, using sash as the
   shell. This is important in case you hose everything that you have a
   chance to restore.
3. Get a copy of the Debian installation boot disk. Remember that you can
   do Alt-F2 to get to a VC when the install screen comes up. Make sure
   you can do this. This is in case your system gets _really_ hosed.
4. telinit 1 might not be a bad idea.
5. Let's assume you're going to use /mnt/hdc in the next step. Add that
   directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
6. Umount /lib and remount it on that directory from step 5 (/mnt/hdc i'll 
   assume) (using sash for this step might be a Good Idea)
7. Copy (cp -a) everything from /mnt/hdc to /lib (which should show the
   files you were mounting over all this time)
8. Copy down the proper entry from /etc/fstab, Just In Case.
9. Remove that proper entry from /etc/fstab, so it won't mount over /lib
   anymore.
A. Cross your fingers and reboot to see if it works. 

Suggestions are welcome. i haven't tested this, so it could VERY easily be
wrong. At least i tried to be excessively paranoid...

 3.  When installing Debian packages, I often see Warning: 
 /lib/somethingorother.2 is not a symlink.  Is this because /lib is 
 mounted on a different filesystem?  Are there any consequences of 
 this warning, or is it harmless?
 
 I suspect this may be an unrelated bug in the package. I have seen
 similar warnings myself, but do not have /lib mounted on a separate
 partition.

The way the libs work, a generic name (e.g. libc.so.6) is symlinked to
the actual library the system uses (e.g. libc-2.1.1.so). This makes it
easy to change libraries around, you can install a new version as normal,
and only change the symlinks as the final step (more magic ;)

i'm guessing that when you copied the libraries, you didn't use the -d
option to cp...

 4.  Was mounting /lib on a different filesystem a completely dumb 
 idea to begin with?  What's something else I could put on my 128MB 
 filesystem?
 
 Now for the bad news - mounting /lib on another partition will not work
 (someone please tell me if I am wrong) because the libraries in it are
 required for booting the computer, and before partitions other then
 the root partition have been mounted. If you can find a to
 boot up to the point where /lib is mounted, everything should
 be OK

i _think_ it might be ok, but don't quote me on that. At any rate, /usr
would be a much better thing to stick on a separate partition.


Technical explanation, kept because i referred to it above:
 So to answer your question above, will unmounting /lib break your
 system? the correct technical answer is that, no it won't break your
 system if it is already running, because the computer still will
 be using the old copy of the libraries for critical functions (eg
 /sbin/init). However, I don't think this is the answer you were looking
 for. If this doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about it.
 
 However, deleting the old copies of the libraries, will break your
 system, and won't be able to boot again.
 
 A better approach would be to do the same thing for /usr, as /usr is
 not required for boot. However, have a rescue disk handy in case you do
 anything wrong and can no longer boot.
 
 Others should be able to point out step-by-step instructions to prevent
 accidently hosing your computer. However, it looks like you have already
 done a significant part of the job yourself for /lib. You didn't say how
 you copied the files though - make you you preserve the file permissions
 when you do so. cp -a will do the right thing and recurse into
 subdirectories.

CD-ROM floppy swap problem.

Hi,

I was using a TEAC 4X IDE CD-ROM on a Compaq LTE 5200 notebook without

So, I swap the module, and found the floppy cannot be mounted.  So, I

CD-ROM!  Earlier, /dev/hdb is where the CD-ROM connects to, now it

just like another filesystem.  Is this normal, or I am having some

Re: Recovering the original boot sector

1999-06-06 Thread Gertjan Klein
On Sat, 5 Jun 1999 18:53:38 -0500 (CDT), Jor-el [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

   When I purchased my PC, it came with Win95 preloaded. After
installing linux on it, lilo did back up the original bootsector and
stored it in /boot, but over the past two years, and after a couple of
Linux reinstalls, I lost the original bootsector (blush). Now, I am
planning to reorganize my Win95 partition again, and I need to recover the
original bootsector.

  From your description I take it that when you say bootsector you
actually mean master boot record.  They are not the same.  The master
boot record is the very first sector of the harddisk, containing the
partition table; a bootsector is the very first sector of a partition,
(possibly) containing the partition boot code.

  What reorganization do you plan for your W95 partition, and why would
you want to recover the original MBR for it?  The partition table is not
altered by LILO, and that's the only thing W95 cares about.  LILO
doesn't change the W95 bootsector.

   They did say that 'fdisk /MBR' would recreate the original
bootsector. So here is what I propose to do :

  The (undocumented) MS-DOS command fdisk /mbr restores the original
MS-DOS MBR software, but leaves the partition table as it is.
Effectively, it gets rid of LILO.  Is this what you want?  If so, you
may also want to use (DOS or Linux) fdisk to set the active flag to the
partition you want to boot.

1.  Take backups of th existing bootsector. Create Linux bootdisk.

  Both are always a wise thing to do.

2.  Run 'fdisk /MBR' from within Win95. This should wipe out my existing
partition table in the MBR (first 512 bytes).

  Your partition table will not be altered, just the MBR software
(wiping out LILO instead).

3.  Reboot using my Linux boot disk. Now create a copy of the old (backed
up) bootsector (file A).
4.  do 'dd if=/dev/hda of=/boot/B bs=446 count=1'
5.  do 'dd if=/boot/B of=/boot/A bs=446 count=1'

  All this is redundant, and probably doesn't do what you think it does
anyway.

 It was my assumption that the original poster hadn't made any changes

I didn't do anything to the old lib directory; I was just asking what 
happened to a directory if you mounted over it, because I couldn't 
find that information anywhere, and was curious about whether my 
old /lib directory was still there underneath the mounted copy.  I 
appreciate the explanations from everyone.

However, it was before I downloaded any packages that I copied all 
the libs over to hdc3 and started mounting it as /lib.  I didn't think at 
the time about the fact that that /lib directory wouldn't get mounted 
until later in bootup.  After I started mounting hdc3 as /lib, I installed 
quite a few packages that stuck things in /lib, and so now I'm 
wondering, is the system using the libs in the /lib directory on hda1 
during bootup, and then using the libs in hdc3 after mounting it as 
/lib?  I know very little about library versions, but that sounds like it 
could become a problem at some point.

If I unmount /lib but still have it mounted in fstab, the worst that can 
happen is that I'll have to reboot  let it get remounted, correct?

Since the old /lib directory should still be on hda1, my current plan 
is to copy everything from /lib (the /lib on hda1) to a temp directory, 
pray, unmount it, make sure the old lib directory is there, test 
everything out, mount hdc3 as something else in fstab, and then 
copy any new files that got put into the /lib on hdc3 back into the 
proper /lib.  Would that work?  Or should I just boot back into 
Windoze  stay there, for my own protection?  :)

On the subject of what to mount on a seperate filesystem... I don't 
really have any place big enough to mount /usr (I install a LOT of 
software) except for hda1, which is my root partition, and I don't 
really have anywhere else to put my root partition that isn't WAY 
past 1024 cylinders.  Currently, I just have my 2.1 GB / on hda, my 
128MB /lib on hdc, and two 512MB partitions on hdb that I mounted 
as /var and /tmp because I couldn't decide what else to do with 
them.  How much space is usually required in /var and in /tmp?  Is 
that overdoing it?  Is there something better I should mount them as? 
 I believe I heard of someone symlinking tmp to var/tmp, or 
something like that.  Is that a feasible idea?

Thanks for the help with this, and pardon my extreme ineptitude.

mySql probs...

In dselect, from unstable, I get:

libdbd-mysql-perl depends on libmysql6
libmysql6 does not appear to be available

(and gnudip, which I'm trying to install, depends on libdbd-mysql-perl)

This was working a bit earlier when I simply used the mysql package,
instead of trying to go with mysql-base and -server.

Does anyone use mysql and debian and gnudip? If so, do you have any
recommendations?

This is exactly what you shouldn't install LILO in the MBR. The Debian default

You see, if you have LILO in your Linux root's boot sector, to change
whether to boot Linux or Win95 directly, all you have to do is change
the active partition using FDISK on either linux or MS-DOS.

 However, if the original poster had deleted the original /lib

If the poster had left it mounted for a while, the libs could easily have
been modified such that the old ones wouldn't work.

As a worst-case, start with slink, mount the drive, upgrade to potato
(glibc 2.1)... When you unmount, everything not still linked against 2.0.7
will fail. bash, ls, mount, etc...

   Now for the bad news - mounting /lib on another partition will not work
   (someone please tell me if I am wrong) because the libraries in it are
   required for booting the computer, and before partitions other then
   the root partition have been mounted. If you can find a to
   boot up to the point where /lib is mounted, everything should
   be OK
  
  i _think_ it might be ok, but don't quote me on that. At any rate, /usr
  would be a much better thing to stick on a separate partition.
 
 This is the first problem you will have:
 
 # ldd /sbin/init
   libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4000f000)
   /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000)
 
 /sbin/init is the first program to run after the kernel has been booted.
 It needs the above files from /lib otherwise it wont work.

Which is why i said don't quote me on that ;)

 Now, if /sbin/init, /sbin/mount, /bin/sh, etc were all statically linked,
 it might work, but that is a topic for another thread.

sash will take care of /sbin/mount and replace /bin/sh... Sort of. Sash
seems more of a csh clone than sh.



Re: CD-ROM and floppy problem update.

1999-06-06 Thread Brad
On Sun, 6 Jun 1999, Fu-Dong Chiou wrote:

 Well, I don't know how and why, but I am now able to mount the floppy 
 module on the system.  Strange thing is, I can only mount the Debian boot 
 disk as a msdos disk, although I have to mount a Redhat boot disk as ext2 
 disk. 

This is normal, it all depends on the type of filesystem the floppy was
created with.

 I also note, I can read, write and execute on my DOS partition, 
 just like another filesystem.  Is this normal, or I am having some 
 problem with my system? 

This is also normal. You might not want to be able to execute on the DOS
partition though, since there aren't likely to be any Linux-compatible
binaries there.

Adding the -o noexec option to your mount command will turn off the
executable bit, so nothing on the fs can be executed. You could also do
the same thing in fstab. Here's a sample:
/dev/hdb1   /DriveC vfatdefaults,noexec,gid=101,umask=007

This mounts /dev/hdb1 on /DriveC using a vfat filesystem (vfat == dos with
win32 long filenames). It uses the default options except for noexec: rw
(read-write), suid (which i believe has no effect on dos/vfat), dev
(again, no effect), auto, (if you say mount -a, all fstab entries with
auto will be mounted), nouser (only root can mount), async (asynchronous
IO). The drive will have a gid of 101 and a umask of 007. The umask,
combined with noexec, means the permissions will be rw-rw for files
and rwxrwx--- for directories. This way, only root (the owner) and members
of group number 101 can access the filesystem. umask=002 would make the
permissions rw-rw-r-- and rwxrwxr-x for files and directories, only
allowing write access to root and members of group number 101.

There's two ways i know of to find the number for a group: look in
/etc/groups or add a user to the group and use the id command as that
user.

Hi, as a novice linux user, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how 
to access my dos partition from within linux. My computer is setup with 
a linux partition, a linux swap partition and a dos partition.
In addition to what Andrei pointed out, a more primitive and limited way
would be access via mtools. Read the mtools manpages for information
what to specify in the relevant system file (sorry, forgot its name;
it's somewhere in /etc). This is a possible way if you just want to copy
things from that partition, ie treat it the same way as you treat a
diskette, allowing access without mounting the device.
