Deberás montar la/s partición/es correspondientes al NoTepares en el Linux. Si usas algún kernel de los últimos, no tendrás problemas, ya que tienes el driver para leer los filesystems NTFS. Si la partición la tienes como FAT, no problemo, ya que la puedes montar como vfat y andando...

Por otra parte, consigo navegar por los distintos directorios dentro del directorio raiz de linux, pero, ¿cómo puedo acceder al contenido de la disketera o del cdrom y copiar archivos a otras ubicaciones? Pues deberás montarlos de la forma: (cdrom) mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom (disquetera) mount -t ext2/vfat/msdos/(etc) /dev/fd0 /floppy Si quieres, puedes añadir las entradas al fichero /etc/fstab y no tendrás mayor problema que decir desde el prompt: mount /cdrom o mount /win2 (para el NoTepares) y listos. Si te miras el fichero que te comento verás que no tiene ningún secreto, pero bueno, si te confunde o tienes cualquier problema, nos lo dices y yatá... ;-) Sobretodo, acuérdate que, una vez tengas que sacar el disco o cdrom de la unidad lectora, debes desmontarlo antes de la siguiente manera. umount /floppy o umount /cdrom.

Lo único que conlleva es que todos los binarios se han de recompilar para glibc2.1, pero esto está ya completado. Como dices, los boot-floppies están teniendo problemas porque se está intentando hacer algo bueno con ellos. Si no he seguido mal las otras listas, una de las nuevas features para los floppies es la detección de harware y supongo que esto es delicado. A parte, con el tema de que el kernel es el 2.2, supongo que los floppies se hacen más grandes, y creo que hace falta uno más que para Slink.

Si no me equivoco, la rama 2.3 ya está congelada, pero por lo que se lee también hay muchas cosas por hacer todavía. Yo no se que pensar, pero por una parte nos convendría que el kernel 2.4 saliese alguna semana antes que Debian Potato, lo suficiente para que se pudiese adaptar en ese tiempo los paquetes necesarios en potato para usar el 2.4. Por otro lado, a mi personalmente no me importaría que Potato se basase en 2.2 y a las 2 semanas de salir estable, sacaran el 2.4. Actualizar los pocos paquetes que haría falta para usar el 2.4 no sería tan difícil y así también se minimizan riesgos en bugs actualizados a última hora. Supongo que prefiero la última opción. En los posts de Slashdot al respecto del freeze, había muchísimo flaming sobre esto, que Slink salió justo antes de 2.2 y ahora pasará lo mismo... a mi realmente no me importa. Jordi

Re: Pine
On Mon, 8 Nov 1999, John wrote: I'm inexperienced with Debian, but had no problem getting Pine from this web page. However, I've been unable to install and configure it. Pine depends on libc-client4.6 and I can't find it - in another posting you indicated it was for the time being under /Incoming, but the only deb I found there seems to be an alpha one. Also, Pine depends on libc6 =2.1 (my slink has 2.0.7) and libncurses 4 =4.2-3.1 (I only have 4.2-3). Neither of these am I unable to find. I'm puzzled, because I went to ftp.uk.debian.org and got Pine 3.96, thinking I would upgrade later when I located the dependencies, and that says I need the same files. I guess I should have made it clearer but the .debs I made were for potato not slink. All the packages you need to fulfill the dependencies can be found in the unstable branch of the archive. It's a little tedious but fairly straightforward to get the source (available from the same page) and rebuild it yourself if you cannot upgrade to potato at this time. 3.96 was the last version of pine which was distributed by Debian. Owing to licensing problems, later versions cannot be. Although I am a Debian developer, the pine 4.20 .debs are unoffical and neither the Debian Project, The University of Washington nor anyone apart from myself has any responsibility for them. -- Jaldhar H.

X screen resolutions.
Greetings from Japan. I have a DEC 200i with a Cirrus Logic GD5430 graphics card. According to SuperProbe, I only have 512 bytes of graphic memory. This supposedly means that I can only display 800x600 in 8 bpp, which I am doing now. When I set the memory in XF86Config to 2048, X indeed displays 1280x1024, but the image is terribly broken. I am sure my machine was displaying 1280x1024 when I was using Windows, but in X I can't get it to work. Can anyone please help me. I have read all the HOW-TOs and all the documentation I could find, but I still can't get it to work!

Standard CMOS Setup - {Date, Time}
Thats what the poster wanted you to change.
However, I myself would do the following:
1. With computer booted, edit /etc/default/rcS and sent GMT as required:
Here is the relevant setting from my /etc/default/rcS:
# Set GMT=-u if your system clock is set to GMT, and GMT= if not.
GMT=
(I think this has changed for potato).
2. Now updated you CMOS clock by typing in:
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh stop
Here's why I won't do that in this way :
this script relies on the command hwclock --systohc (with --utc if needed).
This command set the CMOS clock to the same value that the kernel clock wich
is the desired effect. *But* there's a side effect : the drift value in
/etc/adjtime is recomputed and as your CMOS clock would have change of a few
hours in a few minutes (if you do theses manipulations shortly after
booting) it would be a huge value. On next reboot, if this value is left
untouched, you'll get a time-travel machine : each time you reboot your
computer, the clock goes backward in the past.
Oh cool : no more Y2k problem ;-)
(really dumb idiotic off-topic question - is it possible to setup
Windoze so that it will work when the CMOS clock is GMT? My guess: Of

The author wrote that these are the areas that Linux needs to catch up to Windows NT and UNIX in before it will be accepted by corporations. The rest of the article went on to cite testimony from various networking experts as to Linux's shortcomings, showing a lack of knowledge in network systems and a willingness to defame it without such basic knowledge. There you have it--ignorance (and fear on the part of many MS experts is our worst enemy in some corporate circles. I've seen it firsthand while working contracts for businesses in the Denver Technology Center, i.e., new, complete images being reinstalled on NT servers at least once per week, other network operating systems of only 2 or 3 hundred workstations going down, on average, once per week... BTW, the same article cited another expert (Dr. Subo Guha) as saying that ISPs are looking at using Linux for Web hosting,... Well, ain't that some leading edge (or Computer Edge) news?

I am running various 2.3.x kernels with various patches, but atd isn't working even if I reboot with an old kernel (2.3.21/devfs/int-patch) where it used to work... (SMP, but that shouldn't affect atd?). Any ideas? -- More Important Drivel from: Scott Henry [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\/\/\ http://reality.sgi.com/scotth/
meta key for xemacs
Hi, How can I define new Meta keys for Xemacs? I have two slink/i386 installations, on one I can use the windows key as Meta key, on the other I can't, most of the time. I had the impression it worked for a short time while editing a shell script, but then, I couldn't... My .emacs and .xemacs-options files are identical on both machines, so I guess its somewhere hidden in /etc/xemacs, or maybe the X-keyboard setting? How can I make both machines use the windows keys as meta key and where can I find this in the docs? I'd prefer a setting for .emacs, then I can never loose it again... Ciao, Christian.

Disk partiotioning advice
I am about to recive a new computer with a 9 Gb disk. i was wondering whats the larjest partition size that linux can deel with (and if there is still limitation on the size of the root (boot) partition (I know that there was a 1 Gb limitation) Also I need about hals the disk for windows (regratably i need to submit some excersizes with visual studio) That leaves abot 5 GB for linux. I am looking for advice on how to best partition the disk to allow for flexability when I need to change configurations/add programs. I have a 1 GB disk now so i don't have experiance with large disks. Also, is the a way to give windows access (rw) to a linux partition, so i can share the user partition betwin systems (I prefer to make it a linux partition with access to windows and not the other way around). If not, how do I mount a windows partiton with write permision to regular users? (or a specific user), and is it posible to use a windows partition as the home directory for a user?

Re: upgrading libraries
My suggestion is that you install apt which is in slink and use that to install the packages you want. Apt will resolve dependancies and tell what additional packages it has to install to install the package that you have specified. Example: apt-get install procps Check the apt-get man page. Fethi A.

time and again
Well, there have been a lot of posting regarding resetting time. It must be... a sign of the times :). My own problems are with my potato laptop. It will not keep GMT time in the cmos and localtime on the system. It always gets reset. I have compiled apm in and out; changed the apm config option for RTC as UTC and changed the switch in /etc/default/rcS to no avail. My desktop runs this way no problems (slink system). I installed the deb ntptime package (I think) but it slows the boot process down when I am not connected to our network. I see something about a burst switch though that maybe I should try. I do travel about 50% with my laptop unconnected to a network. I gather overall that hardware clocks are not that terribly accurate and that people are more concerned with setting system clocks accurately. A colleague has a potato laptop; same brand. IT works fine with cmos set to UTC. Since I cannot seem to master the UTC in cmos issue, is there a way to make ntptime a little more forgiving when there is no network connection? I live in California so its nice to have the system manage PST/PDT changes. -- Michael Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] --

Latest ALSA-source packages don't work
Hello, There was a recent thread in this list called Alsa with audiopci1370 which sort of concludes saying For some reason /etc/init.d/alsa (start) was not loading the drivers properly. I want to add that this also happens with my AW64 sound card. /etc/init.d/alsa simply doesn't work and I get a /dev/audio: no such file or device message every time I run a sound program even though /dev/audio is a valid file in the system. My solution is to take the lines from /etc/modules.conf added by my alsa-modules deb file (created after compiling the ALSA sources using make-kpkg) and copy them into /etc/modules. After reboot everything is ok. So it seems to me that the module-loading instructions in /etc/modules.conf is correct but for some reason /etc/init.d/alsa is buggy. And this happened to me with the last three versions of ALSA-source uploaded to potato. -- Pedro I. Sanchez

ppp problem with 2.2.X kernel; ok with 2.0.36
I had a slink system with 2.0.36 kernel, and wanted to update to 2.2.X kernel. I updated the suggested packages listed on the debian page that discussed known issues, and then updated the kernel. No problems with that. Netscape seemed to work ok, but when I tried to download any packages, it would only download a small amount of data and stall. I thought it might be a problem with packets not clearing. So, since that page said all these problems were cleared up in unstable, I upgraded to potato with apt-get dist-upgrade. Same problem. But, if I use the 2.0.36 kernel, downloads are fine. I recompiled the 2.2.X kernel to make sure I have ppp support, and couldn't see anything else that might cause this in the kernel config menu. I'm doing something wrong, but what? Ideas / suggestions? thanks

were loaded on demand :-).
Now when the system try to load the sound modules appeare the following

The sound card is:
Trust Sound Expert de Luxe Wave 32 3D
with the chipsets: CRYSTAL CS4231A-KL YAMAHA OPL YMF262-M
I wrote a file that configure the sound cardmodules:
ravel:~# grep -v '^#' /etc/modutils/sound

post-install sgalaxy /etc/init.d/gb-mixer start;/sbin/modprobe -k

options ad1848 -k

But the system recognize the followings options:

Where does the sb options come from ? Is the sb line the problem ?
A workaround that I found is to manually load the modules with the
correct options at system startup with the following script:
#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/gb-mixer: initialize mixer.
if ! cat /dev/sndstat /dev/null 21; then

apt-get xbase
I needed to upgrade to this package at some point when I was trying install KDE. (kde required xlib6g and I think after a long list of dependencied I ended up getting xbase) What happened after I installed it? Main problem is my previous window manager (wmaker) does not work, instead xsession fires up twm (even though I have a window-manager file and it contains wmaker in the first line). Problem is I don't know what changes took place in my system this is the worst part of all. Could we have some more documentation in the installation directiories?? and at least some log files instead of having to have them created manually?

Please test pppconfig-2.0
Pppconfig-2.0 has been installed in unstable. New features include support for demand dialing. I also fixed (I hope!) some serious brain-damage in the secrets-file code. I would appreciate some test reports, particulary on the new features and on changing authentication methods. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.

However, I've been unable to install and configure it. Pine depends on libc-client4.6 and I can't find it - in another posting you indicated it was for the time being under /Incoming, but the only deb I found there seems to be an alpha one. Also, Pine depends on libc6 =2.1 (my slink has 2.0.7) and libncurses 4 =4.2-3.1 (I only have 4.2-3). Neither of these am I unable to find. I'm puzzled, because I went to ftp.uk.debian.org and got Pine 3.96, thinking I would upgrade later when I located the dependencies, and that says I need the same files. I guess I should have made it clearer but the .debs I made were for potato not slink. All the packages you need to fulfill the dependencies can be found in the unstable branch of the archive. It's a little tedious but fairly straightforward to get the source (available from the same page) and rebuild it yourself if you cannot upgrade to potato at this time. 3.96 was the last version of pine which was distributed by Debian. Owing to licensing problems, later versions cannot be. Although I am a Debian developer, the pine 4.20 .debs are unoffical and neither the Debian Project, The University of Washington nor anyone apart from myself has any responsibility for them. I'm a little confused here. If 3.96 was the last version distributed by Debian, why cannot I install it without the three files demanded by 4.20 and only found in the unstable branch of the archive. Could my attempt to install 4.20 have left some 'memory or record' so that 3.96 decides it would like them too? Was 3.96 distributed as suitable for distributions before potato? Learning is going to be a long-haul my present rate of progress - but I'll get there somehow!

Write protected mailbox, mutt
Hi all, I did ask this a while ago but never got any real answers so I will try again with some more information. I am using fetchmail, exim, mutt to handle my mailing and I have one .forward file to redirect all my debian list mails to its own mailbox. Lately I have been having problems that this mailbox is write protected and I can not delete any mails. I used to believe this was caused by exim locking the mailbox because I could sometimes delete mails. But now I use fetchmail like this: slayer:# fetchmail -avK So what I am asking is really how I can have write access to my mailbox. . My .forward looks like this # Exim filter if $h_Resent-From: matches debian-user* then seen save /home/jocke1s/Mail/debian-user endif if $h_From: matches Nvi then seen save /dev/null endif It is located in my home dir -rwxr-xr-x 1 jocke1s jocke1s 200 Sep 8 2001 .forward . My Mail dir looks like this: drwxrwsr-x 4 jocke1s jocke1s 1024 Jun 21 05:24 Mail and my mailbox like this: -rw--- 1 jocke1s jocke1s 1290654 Jun 21 05:24 debian-user That is how the file is created by the .forward file.
