 Asunto: make bzImage. Error al final
 
 
   Tras varios intentos con el mismo resultado os mando 
 esto a ver si me podeis ayudar.
 
   Tras configurar el kernel 2.2.12 y hacer make dep, make 
 clean hago make bzImage y me sale al final lo siguiente:
 
 make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
 gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -E -D__BIG_KERNEL__ 
 -traditional -DSVGA_MODE=NORMAL_VGA  bootsect.S -o bbootsect.s
 as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
 make[1]: as86: Command not found
 make[1]: *** [bbootsect.o] Error 127
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
 make: *** [bzImage] Error 2
 
   Ese comando as86 no esta en mi equipo y no lo veo como 
 paquete para instalarlo. Ahora tengo Linux 2.0.36.
 
   Gracias por la ayuda.

RE: fallo al llamar a pppd con RDSI

A mi me da al ojo que lo que tienes es una conexión en la que se tiene que
autenticar el servidor remoto. Vamos que parece que le estas prestando
servicios a él y no al reves.
De todas formas pasanos los archivos de configuración a ver que dicen.

Otra cosa que podrías mirar es si la conexión es síncrona o asíncrona. Estas
optando por la asíncrona (demonio pppd). Para ello preguntales a los del
servidor a ver que te dicen. Cuidadín porque no suelentener mucha idea y
responden lo primero que se les ocurre (a mí me ha pasado y me pegué un mes

tenía, gracias a aquello de de tab a : que pregunté en la lista.
Luego he hecho otras dos, una solo con las palabras básicas, que tengo

traducciones. La interesante de momento es la del vocabulario
fundamental, pero tengo un problema. Para introducir sinónimos
rápidamente cree un macro en el vim, pero con la pega de que dejaba uno
o dos espacios al final de la línea que copiaba. El caso es que me
gustaría quitarlos, para seguir los criterios de Alfredo, de terminar
las líneas con un carácter de nueva línea ^M si no me equivoco. La
cosa es que ni en el vim, ni con perl -pe, ni con sed 's/ ^M/^M/g' ni de
ningún modo. Supongo que habrá que indicarle los espacios de algún modo
especial. Pero sin embargo me funciono que cambiara el tabulador por / :

imagen de disco duro ¿cómo?

2000-05-23 Thread Juanma
Ante todos saludos amigos:

Me plantean un problema en un lugar que tienen bastantes ordenadores
accedidos por críos.
El problema es que no paran de enredar en ese sistema operativo y cada
poco tiempo tienen que reinstalar todo.
Siendo unas 22 máquinas la faena resulta larga y aburrida.

Se me ha ocurrido el hacer una imagen de un disco duro con una instalación
reciente. Como todas las máquinas son iguales había pensado en grabar el
fichero de imagen a un CDR.

es decir: dd if=/dev/hda of=fichero

El tamaño del fichero ocupa unops 850 mb (el tamaño del disco duro), por lo
que no me cabe en un CDR.
Si lo comprimo con tar se me queda en 240 mb y este tamaño parece más
apropiado.

¿como puedo volcar el fichero grabado en el cdrom al disco duro del puesto?
porque lo ideal sería hacer un pipe o algo así de manera que mientras va
descomprimiendo va volcando la imagen.

He probado pero no hallo la solución.

Recibid mi gratitud por adelantado

Si las 22 máquinas son iguales puedes plantearte la opción de montar un
servidor de imagenes. Aqui en el curro monté uno hace poco, son 7 maquinas
con guindos y un servidor con Linux. La imagen de un disco ocupado por 3
Gigas me ocupa 10 ficheros de 97 Megas (supongo que debe estar hecho para
meterlos en Zips) es decir, no llega a 1 Giga. Se descarga la imagen al
disco duro y despues la descomprime automaticamente. Necesitas tener
instaladas tarjetas de red con soporte de arranque remoto en los clientes.

Puedes encontrar mas información sobre esto en:
http://cuiwww.unige.ch/info/pc/remote-boot/howto.html
Los programas los puedes bajar de:
http://www.bpbatch.org/downloads
Y ademas hay un forum por si no te acaban de salir las cosas.
http://www.bpbatch.org/forum

Creo que es una buena opción, lo de meter la imagen en un CDR seguro que hay
algun programa parecido a este que permite hacerlo sin demasiada
complicación, si lo encuentras avisas que me interesa bastante.

Espero que te sirva, si decides montarlo te puedo pasar información de como
lo hicimos aqui.

Los servidores Microsoft se pueden configurar para usar Internet Mail en lugar
de Microsoft Mail que emplea un formato de adjuntos extraño. Ademas conozco
varios casos en los que no se aclaran con el NT y me llegan mensajes con
adjuntos no-MIME (llegan ilegibles), y conozco otra empresa a la que de cuando

cuerpo del correo (según ellos).

¿Tiene sentido utilizar un formato de adjuntos diferente dentro de la empresa
que con la gente de fuera? Yo creo que no y ademas introduce riesgos de
incompatibilidad.


EN RESUMEN CON SERVICIOS ESTANDAR:
Utilizas los mismos formatos y servicios que en internet, no tendras problemas
 con nadie.
No te atas a una empresa concreta, y a sus caprichos.
Tienes la posibilidad de cambiar de S.O. de forma transparente a los usuarios.


CON SERVICIOS PROPIETARIOS:
Aparecen problemas raros con otras empresas que usan clientes Netscape y otros
 softwares: afortunadamente *NO* todo el mundo usa Microsoft
No tienes ninguna opción de cambio de S.O. (que es lo que ellos quieren)
Fuerzas a tus clientes/proveedores a usar lo mismo que tu para no tener
 problemas o les complicas la vida con problemas de compatibilidad


Espero haberte servido de ayuda...

Saludos,

 Un Toshiba Satellite 4010CDS; pero como ya he dicho en otro mensaje, el
 núcleo 2.2 ya funciona perfectamente como bzimage

ya me parecía a mi  ;)

  NPI. Y ya que hablamos de portatiles, ¿te funciona bien el tema de APM?. A
  mi me cuelga la máquina
 Me funciona perfectamente. Tanto para apagar como para entrar en modo
 suspend (realmente ya nunca apago el portátil). ¿Has intentado con las
 varias opciones que hay en la configuración del núcleo? me acuerdo por
 ahí de unas 3 opciones que dicen que se deben activar para algunos casos
 en que el APM da problemas.

ahora mismo lo he estado probando con todas las opciones y he tenido un
cuelgue, pero parece que despues de quitar el apmd todo va bien. ¿tu lo
tienes instalado?

segment fault en passwd

2000-05-23 Thread Tito Sam

hola, me gustaria comentar algo que realmente me a sorprendido.
cuando un usuario en mi sistema intenta cambiar su password, todo trascurre 
normalmente, a menos que este usuario NO tuviera anteriormente un password, lo 
que provoca un pedazo de segment fault; sin embargo con el root no me pasa...

la version de packete password es 19990827-19


alguien sabe por donde pueden ir los tiros?

Gracias de mi parte también. Tenía el mismo problema y de momento va,
es un viejo 486 que tengo para experimentos y se toma su tiempo en
compilar. Pero tiene que funcionar.

Agradecido.

Re: imagen de disco duro ¿cómo?

2000-05-23 Thread Jorge Garcia Roca

Buenas ante todo... he estado trabajando en una tienda informatica y
todas las instalaciones que haciamos en equipos nuevos las haciamos con una
utilidad llamada ghost (de la casa Norton) que hace una copia exacta de una
particion (ya sea Ms-Dos o Linux) a otra o en nuestro caso a un fichero.

Con respecto al tamaño el propio programa puede comprimir los datos con
lo que es facil no superar las 650 Mbs de un CD-R, si ademas haces que el cd-R
sea de arraque la faena se hace sencilla... Pones el Cd, arrancas (y si lo
tienes configurado como toca) y se instala todo solo, bueno Yo lo he usado en
concreto con particiones Ms-Dos...

Supongo no sera tan sencillo con particiones Linux por el tema de
arranque... pero de eso ya no puedo decir =)

 ...
   En realidad no tengo una lista, sino tres o cuatro, cada una sacada de
 un sitio diferente. La primera la traje de un archivo de excel que
 tenía, gracias a aquello de de tab a : que pregunté en la lista.
 Luego he hecho otras dos, una solo con las palabras básicas, que tengo
 casi terminada. Y otra con las palabras que voy buscando en mis
 traducciones. La interesante de momento es la del vocabulario
 fundamental, pero tengo un problema. Para introducir sinónimos
 rápidamente cree un macro en el vim, pero con la pega de que dejaba uno
 o dos espacios al final de la línea que copiaba. El caso es que me
 gustaría quitarlos, para seguir los criterios de Alfredo, de terminar
 las líneas con un carácter de nueva línea ^M si no me equivoco. La

No hace falta ^M (ASCII 13), basta con el caracter nueva linea (ASCII 10)
que introducen los editores de texto en linux al pulsar la tecla INTRO

 cosa es que ni en el vim, ni con perl -pe, ni con sed 's/ ^M/^M/g' ni de
 ningún modo. Supongo que habrá que indicarle los espacios de algún modo
 especial. Pero sin embargo me funciono que cambiara el tabulador por / :
 /s. Alguna idea. Gracias. 

Desde el vim en modo comando:
:%s/\s*$//
deberia quitar cualquier numero de blancos al final de linea en todo
el fichero

 
   El diccionario lo enviaré a todos los que me lo habéis pedido en está

El Tue, May 23, 2000 at 05:21:52PM +0200, Juanma dijo:
 Ante todos saludos amigos:

 ¿como puedo volcar el fichero grabado en el cdrom al disco duro del puesto?
 porque lo ideal sería hacer un pipe o algo así de manera que mientras va
 descomprimiendo va volcando la imagen.

En teoría nombrando el fichero de dispositivo como destino deberias poder 
hacerlo.
( Por ejemplo /dev/hda el primer disco duro )
O estas diciendo que el descompresor se niega a volcar sobre un dispositivo.
En ese caso obligalo a que descomprima por la salida estandar, y lo 
redireccionas
al fichero.

cat /dev/cdrom | gzip -dc -  /dev/hda

( hda es el primer disco ide, como ya sabras )
 
Eso descomprimiría el disco a lo basto, es decir machacando tablas de 
particiones
y demas.

salvar...
dd if=/dev/hda | gzip -  imagen.backup.gz
restaurar...
dd if=/dev/cdrom | gzip -dc -  /dev/hda

Por otro lado te advierto de lo siguiente, alguno supuestos S.O ( W* ) 
guardan
la geometria lógica del disco en su partición ( creo que estupido, cuando
puede preguntarsela al bios ). Bueno pues que si haces una sola copia para
todas las maquinas, solo funcionará en las maquinas exactamente con la
misma geo de disco, con exactamente el mismo disco duro y en el mismo
modo ( LBA ), deberian funcionarte perfectamente.

Repasa lo anteriores comandos probandolos sobre un disco ram ( /dev/ram )
y con pequeños gz, como comprenderas no los he probado :), Esto esta bajo
la GPL 2.0 ¿ vale ?  ;D

PD: La tabla de particiones ocupa 16*4 bytes ( + 2 byte de firma ) y empieza 
en el byte 446, por si quieres experimentar...

Un saludo.

XF86Setup is the program you want to run to set up 'X' which creates

'xbase' installed?  Have you verified XF86Setup exists on your system?

XF86Config isn't a command; it's a data file. The command is xf86config. I
imagine it is in xserver-common.

XF86Setup is a command, but it's from a supplemental package ... xf86setup,
I believe ... and it requires that you have the VGA16 X server installed
(package xf86-vga16).

Scsi id 0 is my burner, so it appears to be having some kind of

to reset?  Any help would be appreciated since I can't burn CDs until
this is figured out.  TIA.

hi

I've installed X 3.3.6-6 on my Toshiba Sat Pro 4270 (laptop). The machine
has an S3 Savage card, and I've installed the latest drivers from the s3
site. The server is identifying my machine's video card correctly, and is
not producing any errors on start up ... BUT ... all I get is a blank screen
when I 'startx' ... the output from my X session is as follows:

RE: SCSI bus reset when burning

Does your SCSI drive work if you try to mount it like a CDROM ?  Do you have 
any other SCSI devices (hard drive/another CD etc)  

Have you considered setting the scsi ID to something like 2 through 5?  the 
card is often ID6.

Can you please post the dmesg lines from boot that show what scsi devices are 
detected?

Scsi id 0 is my burner, so it appears to be having some kind of

you have to make sure you have your firewall set to accept ICMP traffic.

to have ipchains handle ICMP traffic you must use something like:

Try XMail :

it's a SMTP server ( like sendmail, qmail, etc .. ) as long as a POP3 server
and has a lot of other features.

 Is sendmail a POP3 server?

No, if You use sendmail, qmail, ... that are SMTP servers You must install

Here's what dmesg says about my scsi chain.  I have 2 hds, 1 dvd drive,

same ID as another device on the chain.  None of the other devices have
any problems, just the burner causes the SCSI bus to reset.

Re: SCSI bus reset when burning

2000-05-23 Thread Armin Wegner
Have you added your burner to the SCSI bus, later? Then check, wether your 
SCSI bus is terminated correctly. The device at the end of the cable must be 
terminated, only. For some burners you have to set the jumper to disable 
termination. That is revers to normal harddrive setting.



Re: SCSI bus reset when burning

2000-05-23 Thread Rob Rati
What do you mean added the burner to the SCSI bus later?  You can't do
that, can you?  I mean, it has to be connected and on in order to be
detected and used, doesn't it?  The SCSI bus should be terminated
correctly.  the 50-pin connector is terminated by the DVD drive, and the
UW chain (the HDs) has an active termintor on the end of the chain as
the HDs do not terminate.  I think I might have turned off the
autotermination in the SCSI bios though.  I suppose the external
connector could not be terminated correctly (there's nothing connected
externally) and that could be causing problems?  I have disabled
termination on the burner and use the dvd drive to terminate the chain.

Salut,

 After I installed arpwatch the syslog grows and grows and

The basic idea here is that normally you shouldn't see any
bogons.  Having -b the default is much like closing your eyes to
make yourself believe that the problem doesn't exist in the first
place.  If you get a lot of bogons, something is broken with your
network (in some cases is intentional, like in a test lab), but I
guess it's not the majority of the cases.

The way of implementing your idea is correct, but last time I

such way.

Re: scsi disk question: u2w vs. uw

2000-05-23 Thread John Gould
Sorry, but this is rubbish! The SCSI controller will have no effect on the
disk rotational velocity. However this is not what the poster asked! If
you put an Ultra 2 wide on a non wide channel the transfers will be eight
bits at a time instead of 16, i.e. half the speed, but it will work
fine. Some cards like the AHA2940UW have a wide and a narrow channel, if
the Ultra wide disk is put on the UW channel and the Ultra disk is on the
standard channel there will be no effect on performance.

If you install x on a system where you don't have anything x on already, I
would suggest you use dselect for it.

RFC - corel installation

2000-05-23 Thread Dominic Blythe
Any body else ever had problems with corel installation?
mine worked fine, my friend using the same cd has the 
hang problem that loads of people here have reported.

As I can't find any commonality in whose works and whose
doesn't, I'd like your story! Corel is nice, easy and 
mostly Debian - it'd be a shame if the answer to the 
problem was just the installer is crap - forget it.

Obvious things like scsi controller, cpu, and board
manufacturer are already ruled out. If we can find out, 
tell Corel and get it fixed, in a couple of years 
there'll be loads more debian users.

cheers.

Memoria reconocida por el sistema vs. memoria instalada

2000-05-23 Thread Ximo Nadal
Hola:

Tenemos un servidor con Debian que es un PC clonico, tiene instaladas
128 Mb de memoria RAM y la BIOS cuando arranca cuenta las 128 Mb.
Sin embargo cuando hacemos un free -kt lo que obtenemos es:

total   used free sharedbufferscached
Mem:   63528  62332  1196 49252 5736  34080
-/+ buffers/cache: 22516  41012
Swap:  66524   60  66364
Tota:   130052   6249267560

Suponemos que la memoria de swap se refiere a la partición de swap,
con lo que parece que el sistema solo está reconociendo 64 Mb de las
128 Mb instaladas.

En el libro The Debian Linux User's Guide en el Appendix 7 apartado
Arguments leí lo siguiente (que reproduzco, con perdón):
[...]
mem=
Since the BIOS of most PCs can only report 64 Megabytes there are
times when the kernel needs to be told that there is more memory than
this. This argument should be used with great care, since, if you lie
to the kernel and tell it that it has more address space than it
actually has, the system will crash miserably as some time in the
near future. Also make sure that your system does not use the highest
memory for caching the bios code, as use of this memory by the kernel
will ultimately crash the system as well. The value given after the
equal sign should be the highest ram address available to the kernel,
so a 96 Megabyte system would get an argument like
mem=0x600.
[...]

Por lo que entendí estos parametros se podian poner en el lilo.conf y
tomarian efecto despues de ejecutar liloconfig y rearrancar el
sistema, pero cuando pongo en lilo.conf mem=0x800 (valor
hexadecimal de 128 Mb) y ejecuto liloconfig me aparece el error:
Syntax error near line 7 in file /etc/lilo.conf
Que es la linea donde he puesto lo de mem=...

¿Alguien sabe como puedo hacer que el sistema reconozca las 128 Mb?.
Una posibilidad seria actualizar la BIOS del equipo pero me da miedo
porque la placa es marca la guitarra y no se si la encontaré (si es
que existe) asi que preferiria hacerlo con Debian (si se puede).

Disculparme por este cacho mail.

Espero vuestra ayuda.
Saludos.

Anyway the permissions on /dev/tty were incorrect. On the non-working

changed the device to crw-rw-rw- root:tty and things are working
correctly now.

On a somewhat related note.. I have a 2940UW.  Can I use a 50 pin Ultra2

Re: RFC - corel installation

2000-05-23 Thread Jean G. Turner
Hi,

Want to report I had a computer built to dual boot NT and Corel Linux. We
gave each OS its own drive. In selecting components we reviewed Corel's
list of supported hardware and selected only those listed, with the
exception of a Matrox G400. We are both basically Windows folks. The
install went extremely well.

We have had some minor issues subsequently, which had already surfaced on
Corel and OneList newsgroups, so we have had most of the solutions readily
available. I will be having some networking issues, but hopefully these too
can be solved.

My guess is that for starters a complete, maintained ... up to date,
hardware compatibility list would be invaluable.

From there, I suspect that  assuming the target group for the distro
are currently primarily windows users and total newbies ... that having the
OS and applications preinstalled would go a long way. Further, there is
probably a need for information as a part of ads (to point out the improved
stability, the built in enhanced security and the reduced risk of attack by
computer virus's) in addition to the beneficial pricing. There is also a
need for identifiable sources of training (courses, books, videos) and
local support.

IMHO Linux is a far better OS and the motivations of the people developing
and offering it are sterling, particularly as compared to the currently
pervasive alternative.

Jean

OT. Debian w/s in schools - info needed.

2000-05-23 Thread Lindsay Allen

I'm a very inexpert sysadmin who assists at a local school.  We have a
Debian box now for mail, squid, modem server and so on and they are very
receptive to the idea of running Linux workstations and eventually
breaking away from you-know-who.

Possibilities:
  Booting Debian from the server.
  Home DIRs on a Debian/Samba box.
  Home DIRs on a straight Debian box.
  Using NFS mounted applications.  (Star Office etc.)
  Using X in lieu of NFS and running things on the server.

All this is way outside my experience so I really could use some help.

Can anyone give me some URLs for information on how to set things up, or
people to talk to?

I personally use: append=mem=128M

  [...]
  mem=
  Since the BIOS of most PCs can only report 64 Megabytes there are 
  times when the kernel needs to be told that there is more memory than 
  this. This argument should be used with great care, since, if you lie 
  to the kernel and tell it that it has more address space than it 
  actually has, the system will crash miserably as some time in the 
  near future. Also make sure that your system does not use the highest 
  memory for caching the bios code, as use of this memory by the kernel 
  will ultimately crash the system as well. The value given after the 
  equal sign should be the highest ram address available to the kernel, 
  so a 96 Megabyte system would get an argument like
  mem=0x600.

Hi,

I have a Cisco1600 router connecting to an ISP.
I would like to count the network traffic of this router, but not like the
way of mrtg does, because I want to know all downloaded or uploaded MBs on
all IP addresses in my C class using this router in a time period (for

Has anyone a great idea about coping with this problem?

 Here's what dmesg says about my scsi chain.  I have 2 hds, 1 dvd drive,

 same ID as another device on the chain.  None of the other devices have
 any problems, just the burner causes the SCSI bus to reset.

Adaptec SCSI controller

I just picked up a cheap Adaptec AHA-1520B ISA SCSI controller. Do I stand
a chance of getting it working with my system (currently upgraded to
'frozen')? If so, which SCSI driver (kernel module, whatever) should I be

know that I'm attempting something that's possible.

Vim.  I've not seen a problem with its highlighting that didn't also
improve the readability of my code when I got in the habit of getting it to
colorize right.  The /only/ perl construct I know of that doesn't work is
something like this:

if ($foo =~ /bar\/blam/){
}

Vim would see the \/, see a / and mess up the colorization right there.
However, this fixes it:

if ($foo =~ m/bar\/blam/){
}

Adding the m works fine.  To me, explicitly stating a match is no big deal
for me.  If course, I also use parens like a zealot but bouncing on the % key
is so much fun.

foreach $file (sort(keys(%files))){
}

:)

One downside of vim that I just remembered, be careful the need for
slamming the ESC key.  Windows likes to think it means shut this window NOW!
and if you have the confirmation turned off you lose messages in your Windows
email client.  Normally I don't wack the ESC key unless I am doing code.  See
above.  ;)

Re: dhcp

2000-05-23 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
dhcp-client is indeed the package you want. Post the error messages you get 
during
install.

In order to run a gateway for your external interface you'll want to set up IP
Masquerading and then have all your other boxes point to your linux box as their
default gateway. In order to get IP Masq. going you'll need to get your kernel 
loading
the masq. modules and then configure the masquerading using ipfwadm or ipchains
depending on your kernel. Please look at the IP Masquerading HOWTO for details:

 e.g. dhcp, dhcp-client, dhcp-beta, dhcpd, etc.  But both apt-get
 install dhcp-client and using dselect (probably incorrectly) erred
 out.  Can anyone point me to some docs on doing this?
 The second needed HOWTO would be setting up the
 gateway for the LAN through the 3Com.  At this point, even
 being pointed to the appropriate info, man or HOWTO would
 be appreciated.
 First brush with OS has been impressive.  Brings back the
 feeling of potential felt when discovering Sun's OS with
 Openwindows years ago.  Except this time the pieces are
 there and affordable.

Text editor with good Perl syntax highlighting (was Re: Re[2]: Simple Text Editor with Synatx highlighting?)

 Not to mention I fail to see how Emacs got into the discussion of Simple

Go back and read the text you snipped. The question got changed to text
editor with best Perl syntax highlighting, without a concomitant change in
subject line. (X)Emacs certainly qualifies, despite it's editing functions
being only a subset of it's full functionality.

That said, could we pretty please with sugared bits on it not have this
flame fest again?

Perl syntax highlighting in (X)Emacs (was Re: Simple Text Editor with Synatx highlighting?)

2000-05-23 Thread John S Jacobs Anderson
 (X)Emacs with CPerl mode.
 
 Even that's not, hmmm, what it should be.  Cases that come to mind are
 certain regular expressions and here documents.  Unless I've been
 using a different Perl mode in Emacs.

I haven't noticed any issues, but I don't make huge usage of here documents,
and I tend towards non-standard bracketing for regexps, which means I do
explict 'm's for matching. Those two factors might explain why I think it's
satisfactory.

OTOH, IIRC, there is a setting for how 'robust' the syntax parser tries to
be; it's a time/speed tradeoff. I _think_ the default may be less than
completely stringent. If you're really interested, M-x customize RET
cperl-mode should tell all, at least in XEmacs.

Re: Adaptec SCSI controller

2000-05-23 Thread Ron Rademaker
In the kernel is a driver for the aha 152x, so it should work. 
In other words you stand a chance and it is possible!

 Thanks.

Re: scsi disk question: u2w vs. uw

2000-05-23 Thread John Gould
Yes, I believe you can. You can set the transfer speed in the
setup of the AHA2940 card from CNTRL-A at boot up. You can also use SCA
drives with either UW or U2W, if you can obtain these. They have 80 pins
and need external termination and ID setting, but there is an adaptor that
you can buy for around 12 pounds (sterling) that allows connection at
either 50 pin or 68 pin. It also allows you to set the ID. 
Also see 'http://ask.adaptec.com/cgi-bin/tic/faq'

This is what Adaptec say about the different types of drives:-

What's the difference between SCSI-1, SCSI-2, Fast, Wide,Ultra Wide,
and Ultra2? (Article #990426-0019)

   Description:
   What is the difference between SCSI-1, SCSI-2, Fast, Wide,
   Ultra Wide, and Ultra2?


   This information applies to the following product(s):
   - 1505 series, 1510 series, 1515, 1520 series, 1530p, 1540 series,
   2902, 2906 series, 2910 series, 2920 series, 2930 series,
   2940 series, 3940 series, 2940U2W series, 2930U2 series, 3950U2 series

   This information applies to the following Operating System(s):
   - All/PC, Mac OS

   Solution:
   The primary difference is in the command set used in the SCSI
   standard and the bandwidth, or maximum available speed of the devices.

   SCSI-1 5MB/Sec 8 bit SCSI bus 
   SCSI-2 5MB/Sec 8 bit SCSI bus 
   SCSI-2 Fast 10MB/Sec 8 bit SCSI bus 
   SCSI-2 Fast Wide 20MB/Sec 16 bit SCSI bus 
   SCSI Ultra 20MB/Sec 8 bit SCSI bus 
   SCSI Ultra Wide 40MB/Sec 16 bit SCSI bus 
   Ultra2 Wide 80MB/sec 16 bit SCSI bus 

   Ultra2 speeds are available only when a Ultra2 host adapter is
   connected to Low Voltage Differential (LVD) devices on the LVD/SE
   port. If a single-ended (SE) wide or narrow SCSI-2 device is connected
   to the LVD/SE port, the performance for all devices reverts to SCSI
   Ultra.

  Sorry, but this is rubbish! The SCSI controller will have no effect on the

  you put an Ultra 2 wide on a non wide channel the transfers will be eight

  fine. Some cards like the AHA2940UW have a wide and a narrow channel, if
  the Ultra wide disk is put on the UW channel and the Ultra disk is on the
  standard channel there will be no effect on performance.

 On a somewhat related note.. I have a 2940UW.  Can I use a 50 pin Ultra2
 drive on the 50 pin Narrow channel?  I know I wouldn't get U2 speeds, but
 the 50 pin narrow channel is all I have to use.  68 pin UW is too
 expensive and hard to find these days.  I can find 50 pin Ultra2
 18 gig drives for pretty cheap.  Thanks.

dselect error (sorry for the repeat)

2000-05-23 Thread Brent McMillan
I'm sorry for posting this question as I know it has been asked
recently, but I can't find it in the archives or my inbox.  I just tried
to install a few packages using dselect.  dselect is set up to grab the
packages off a cd.  As far as I know I've done nothing differently,
however, I when I hit Install, my CDROM spins up and then dselect gives
me the message:

internal error - no filename at -e line 12, P chunk 15.

installation script returned error exit status 1.
Press RETURN to continue.

Does any one know what my problem would be?
