Problemas instalacion Citius
Hola, amigos: He tenido problemas para instalar tanto Redhat 6.0 como la Citius de Linux Actual. Parece que el problema era debido a mi CD-ROM, que ya he cambiado por un Samsung 32X. Puedo instalar la RedHAt6.0 pero no la Citius. Gracias a la inestimable ayuda de Tinguaro Barreno he sabido que, aunque ni en la revista ni en las instrucciones del CD (que todo lo mas hacían referencia al método dpkg-multicd), existe el método apt-cdrom, que sale en el dselect si descomprimes el fichero add-ons.tgz en el directorio raíz. Pues bien, el problema es que al instalar con el CD no me sale el método apt-CDROM, así que instalo un sistema base con el deselect (da varias pasadas y tarda mucho) y luego, una vez instalado éste, descomprimo add-ons.tgz en el directorio raíz. Me sale en el deselect el método apt-CDROM. Sin embargo cuando lo selecciono y empieza a leer el primer CD, etc. me dice El controlador ha fallado silenciosamente. ¿Alguien sabe qué significa? ¿Es un problema del controlador IDE del CDROM (lo he puesto de master en la IDE2, pero me decía lo mismo como esclavo de IDE1)o he hecho algo mal? He instalado la REDHat6.0 sin problemas,y aunque es comodísima de instalar (se instala sola),se me queda corta de aplicaciones: por ejemplo, no lleva LyX ni kLyX, que me interesan para confeccionar mis apuntes. Espero que me podais ayudar. Gracias por adelantado, y un saludo.

As I have a rather old computer (i486, 4mb ram and 60 mb Hard disk), I don't think I have room for both dos/windows and linux so I want to remove dos completely first. This means I don't have anything to fall back on when installing linux doesn't work. Could you please advise as what to do and which debian packages I should install. I have read the intallation guide to debian/linux. So I think I am comfortable with the first few steps. But what then. I've read that on a computer as old as mine, debian version 1.3.2 will work a bit quicker then the latest version, so I am intending to install that version. If I were you, I would install 2.1. I think the small performance boost isn't comparable to the bugfixes made since 1.3. Just a thought Will debian/linux partition my harddrive to my needs (I don't have a clou as to how to do that!) I don't think it will do it without your help :) But don't worry, it's simple when you use the cfdisk tool! If I were in your shoes, I would just wipe all the partitions existing and then make a 16 MB swap partition (you have to change the type) and a linux partition from what is left. Also activate the linux partition (mark it as bootable) Probably making just one linux partition and then adding a swap file instead of a swap partition would be better on such small disk, but this requires some hand tweaking: after the first reboot, when the installation process wants to start dselect, switch to another virtual terminal (Alt-F2), log in as root and issue the following commands: dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1048576 count=n (put number of megabytes of swap in place of n) mkswap /swapfile sync chmod 600 /swapfile swapon /swapfile if you want the swap to be activated every boot (if you are not sure, then you want :)) you also should do: echo /swapfile none swap swap /etc/fstab after the swapon command above now, if for any reason you want more disk space just do: swapoff /swapfile rm /swapfile and repeat the above commands with another amount of megabytes (no need to repeat the echo command) NOTE: changing the size of swap partition is impossible without deleting whole harddrive I want to use my computer as a simple wordprocessor (maybe something compareble to works for windows 3.0??? a bit wordprocessor, a bit database and a bit spreadsheet.), nothing fancy and I want to be able to surf the internet, send and receive e-mail, and make my own webpages. wow! you will probably need a larger hard drive if you want to do all of these.

HELP buttons are useless!!
Is there some reason that the HELP buttons on all Linux applications do not really serve up helpful info. The only thing they seem to do is provide info about the authors. That seems like it should be maybe a drop down menu item. HELP buttons should pull up helpful info or at least connect to the man or info page. This should be mandatory before an application is included in a stable release. Just my opinion, if any developers are watching. -- John Foster AdVance-Computing Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ# 19460173

Debian Progress and iBCS
Hi all! I have Debian 2.1 running with the default 2.0.36 kernel. iBCS for 2.0.36 isn't available as a *.deb so I Debinized an iBCS Redhat RPM and installed it. After moving things around to the proper directories, modprobe iBCS seems to work as far as I and lsmod know. However, trying to run _progres produces a segmentation fault. I have this version of Progress running on Debian 2.0 with a 2.0.33 kernel since there is an iBCS.deb for that kernel. I suspect I'm missing some SCO libs but, from looking at the two machines, I can't figure out what the differences are. The Progress version is 5.2 for SCO. The SCO box is going to be retired along with the OS as soon as I can get Progress running on the new Debian 2.1 box. Any comments, leads or othr help very much appreciated...

correct way to move /usr to a new partition...

My thinking is: 1. as root, cp -r -p /usr /linux2a 2. change fstab to mount /dev/hdb1 as /usr (with options set to defaults, errors=remount -ro ???) 3. rm /usr 4. mount -a My question is, will I get screwed somehow, or is this the correct way to do it?

when must I reboot?
I'm a little curious as to under exactly what circumstances a reboot is actually necessary. I know a reboot is necessary to load a new kernel and that the power inside the box must be off to install or remove internal hardware --- are there any other times when a reboot is not optional? For example, you can plug and unplug an idle printer without any difficulty. I've heard that if you shut down gpm and X and any other rodent-listening programs you can also change the mouse without any problems. I'm guessing there's a way to do this with the keyboard or the monitor, if maybe you could remotely shut down the console or something. I think you can do an init 1 to get into single-user and do single-user things without losing uptime, even repartition a disk if you're brave. (I might try this in a couple of weeks and thought it would be a cool thing to tell my winfriends (and also my unixfriends) that I did without rebooting.) I don't intend to try all of these things (I like my peripherals, thanks). I'm just curious: when is a hardware reboot absolutely unavoidable? Rob -- Eat right, stay fit, and die anyway.

Hello, As some of you, I have recently installed debian 2.1 on my Thinkpad 560. I have tried MANY of the XF86Config files on the net, but I could not arrive at one that worked flicker-free on my 800x600 dual scan screen. Light grays would have wavy lines, etc. SO, I have pieced together one that works rock solid, but I am not sure how to tell if the setting will damage my video card or display. The IBM 560 Technical Reference does not mention any frequency specs for the LCD, only external monitor usage. So, I started playing around. One modeline setting I tried was flicker free, but unless I used the no_accel option, it would leave a couple dots wrong on the screen. But when I used the no_accel option it would REALLY slow it down. The one I am using now, I put together after many trials and errors, using a mix of frequencies works GREAT, but I am a little scared that I might damage my screen. Is there a definative way to find out? This is what I am most worried about. I believe the 28.32 was changed from 40.0...

Re: sound under 2.2.x
HI Seth, I have nice sound with my AWE64 under OSS/Lite and ALSA, even with Wavetables :-) Kernel 2.2.12, still SuSE6.1, ready to become Deb 2.1... Greetings, Ingo Seth R Arnold wrote: (This is a sort-of unrelated email, so it gets its own thread. :) When I upgraded from 2.0.37 under SuSE to 2.2.6, I had to change a few things, but sound worked still.

The prevailing wisdom at the time said 2.2.7 had some very drastic memory fragmentation issues, and the sound driver required larger chunks of memory than the fragmented memory could offer.

Re: [OT] How to find the exact time, when the serial data arrived?

You can use gettimeofday, which returns the time in a struct:
struct timeval {
long tv_sec;/* seconds */
long tv_usec; /* microseconds */
};
(see the man page)
I think the real resolution of this is 0.01 seconds. If that is not
enough, there is high resolution timer device you can compile into the
kernel. If you look for it in the kernel configuration (make xconfig or
equivalent) you should be able to find it.

Re: when must I reboot?
Regarding the thread about ps2 connectors. We have a computer here that has ps2 style mouse and kb connectors, and someone tried to use it with an older kb with an AT connector and an adaptator. The adapator must have be nfg-afu because the computer wouldn't boot (not even any video!) with the combo pluged in. Switching to a real ps2 kb fixed the problem. The KB was NOT bad, it still worked on another computer (without the adapator). === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or . __ Do You Yahoo!?

Thanks, but the real problem is that I need to know when the serial data
reaches the port, not when my process receives them :-(.
My process may be suspended and other process may be running, when the data
arrives. The delay may be as long as a few seconds (especially in Debian,
when shortly after switching on, it performs the system scans, updatedb and
similar tasks :-) ).
What I really need is an information when the serial interrupt occured.
Probably it could be done by serious modification of the kernel's serial
driver so, that it would buffer not only the arriving chars, but their
arrival time too. (Or writing the own driver...).
I'd like to have a function like this:
int get_char_with_time(timeval * t);
returning the received char, and writing it's arrival time to the structure
t.
