Upgrading from slink to potato is a breeze. Besides potato is rumored to become stable in August. I've been running and updating potato regularly for about a year without any major trouble. I guess the biggest hickup was caused by updating to emacs20-20.7. It screwed my gnus setup, but installing the seperately packaged gnus package fixed everything. Note, these ripples were caused by changes within potato and had nothing to do with upgrading from slink. Has he ever tried a RedHat x.0 release? From what I heard these are as buggy as, likely even buggier than, Debian's frozen releases. It is just what an organization is prepared to call an official release. > So that leaves him with RedHat, since he understands it.

It'd be helpful to know which version of Debian (Slink, Potato, ...). If you're missing Xaw3d then you probably haven't grabbed all the necessary X packages (like xaw3d).

Re: 128 bit encryption netscape?
Actually I kinda went with 2.

As opposed to what? An unstable 2.3.x release? A 2.4.x with known problems? That's a silly argument to not use a distribution (and always has been). Kernel sources are *always* available at www.kernel.org. They are, but he's not advanced enough yet to compile his own kernel. He's a very bright guy, and he'll figure it out eventually, but it's a very minor hobby for him right now, and he just hasn't gotten there yet. But, because of the slow updates, and because it is now 2 releases behind, it's difficult to argue the change from RedHat to Debian. The only stable Debian release is Slink, which is 2.0.36. He has that already with RedHat 5.2 (I think that's what he's got, it's definitely 2.0.36). If he were to upgrade to RedHat 6, which has been out for quite a long time, he'd get (I believe) 2.2. The 2.2 kernel has made some great leaps from the 2.0 series of kernels that he'd like to use (diald upgrades, to mention just one), but the upgrade from 2.0 to 2.2 for RedHat is, AFAIK, rather strange, and unadvised by RedHat themselves (last I checked). So, for him to go to 2.2, and get the upgrades that he wants, he needs to reinstall. He has no problem with this, and I've recommend Debian, but no matter how "stable" the frozen version is, it IS STILL frozen, and not the officially released version, so he's not comfortable switching to it. So that leaves him with RedHat, since he understands it. Also, as you mentioned, kernel 2.4 is out now, however many "known problems" it has, it is out. 2.2 has "known problems" as well, it just has less of them. Which means that Debian, for all it's good things (and I am using it, and I will continue to use it, because I like it), is SLOW in it's release schedule, and this IS a deterrent for some intelligent people, who are LEARNING Linux. I don't find the argument of a slow distribution schedule silly in the least, and to be perfectly honest, I find the attitude rather condescending. Linux is a wonderful tool. We all know it. But it IS just that, a tool. If a distribution, no matter how good it's intentions, can't keep up, then it will be relegated to the footers of history, and the world will turn around it. I don't want to see this happen with Debian. I apologize for the rant, and I hope I didn't offend anyone too much, but this attitude is one of the things that's personally stopping me from learning more about Linux. Some of us learn slower, or just differently. Seeing all the pluses of Debian, including the philosophy behind it (which I happen to agree with), I get frustrated having to tell people, who are less than comfortable with Linux, to use an (IMHO) inferior distribution, merely to get the options that they need.

RE: newbie help
Try tar zxvf kernel-source 2.2.12.tar.gz (which u have mentioned is already in /usr/src). tar will "un-tar" and "gunzip" the kernel sources into the directory kernel-source- (or something like that). cd into the said directory and do a make config ( ro make menuconfig or make xconfig if you want meu-driven and X versions of the config, respectively), make modules, make modules-install, make bzImage. cp the resulting bzImage in /usr/src/arch/i386/boot (for i386 architecture) into /boot and remember to modify your lilo.conf to i nclude your new kernel and run lilo at the command prompt.

How to change I/O address
Hi, Debians: I have a question about network card. When I move my computer to another place, I need reconfigure my network. The situation is when I reboot my system with my rescue disk and go to install, then configure network and then I did all apropriate changes. However It still doesn't work. After running ifconfig, I find the base I/O address is strange, so does anybody know how to change this I/O address or is there another way to make it work? Any information is appreciated !

Don't know about damaging or messing anything up, but certain modules may have to loaded during the boot. That is before modprobe can run. These modules you will have to `install' during installation. On one of my machines I had to configure the eepro100 module.

RE: Cheetah PCI NIC
I replied to this before, but must have got lost in the ether... On the accton website (somewhere) you can download the kernel module. It is listed as a linux driver, and comes as a zip file 1207dlinux.zip. Within that zip archive are three files: en1207d.c Source code for the kernel module en1207d.o The kernel module Linux.txt Instructions for installing the module. I followed the basic instructions in the Linux.txt file for installing the kernel module, and was then able to ping the internal network... (I'm running the bog standard Slink kernel, YMMV) NB: The method described of inserting the module will only work until the next reboot. To make more permanent arrangements, you will need to look into update-modules (I didn't get around to that step, myself, I was just happy to see the card finally working) PS: If you want me to send you the zip file, let me know ..

Changes in ext2
Hello, I do remember something about changes being made in ext2. (Would that be from the 2.0 to the 2.2 kernel series?) So, I'm running a woody system that was originally slink... I had slink installed, and then, instead of upgrading, I copied /, /usr, /var and /etc files from a friend's woody installation, and reconfigured all I needed. It's been perfect! But I suppose that the filesystem I'm using is the old ext2 (am I wrong?), even though I've been running only 2.2/2.3/2.4 kernels. So, my questions are: - How can I really know if this is the case? (Is there a wy to inspect the filesystem format being used?) - Are there big or important differences between these two? (Is it worth trying to change it?) - And what woudl be the best wy to change?

Re: 128 bit encryption netscape?
128 bit encryption is not available directly from installing Debian packages. There's a few options as far as getting the 128 bit encryption: 1) Install normally using the Debian package(s). This will install the 56 bit version. Then use the fortify packages (fortify and fortify-linux-x86) to install the 128 bit encryption. The fortify packages are in the non-US distribution, but it only works with versions up to and including 4.72. The Debian packages will install to /usr/lib/netscape. OR 2) Install by downloading the 128 bit version directly from Netscape. This will be in the form of a tar.gz file and after extracting the file to a setup directory, the included 'ns-install' script is run to install the program to /usr/local/netscape (by default). OR 3) If you want to install version 4.73 using Debian packages AND want 128 bit encryption, the fortify packages will not work for that version. What you do can in that case (or with any version) is to also install (temporarily) the 'direct from Netscape' tar.gz version just to get the 128 bit binary. You can then copy that binary over the 56 bit version installed by the Debian package. I just did this today on my potato box with Communicator 4.73. The binary copy was like this: cp /usr/local/netscape/netscape /usr/lib/netscape/473/communicator/communicator-smotif.real Tom Mathew Johnston wrote: > > is there a 128 bit encryption netscape package floating around?

A DosEmu problem
Debian Potato (Frozen) with Slink KDE I have installed the DosEmu package and set it up as per included instructions by creating a boot directory in /var/lib/dosemu with soft links to the appropriate Dos files. As Root I can run the emulator and the Dos application, that I want to run, with no problems. As a user the Dos application displays an error because it tries to create a log file on the Dos disc and fails because I don't have root permissions. I know that I can 'su' first and then run it but I want to set the process up as a script that starts the application without user intervention i.e. having to enter a password. Is there a way round this? Also as I'm running the xdos version if I do 'su' I get an x server error: xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server xlib: Client is not authorised to connect to server Another slight problem is in setting up the emulator this way it cannot be closed down using exitemu because exitemu doesn't exist in the boot directory. Is there also a way round that. Barry Samuels

I have posted this or a similar message a couple of times, it hasn't shown up on my mail system and I'm having problems with sending mail so if it appears I'm flooding the list, it's not intentional.

Re: Is Debian the last OS ?
When my friends at school freshmen year all bagered me for using windows, I agreed to let them install linux on my machine. The first go was slackware, but because my computer was all brand new hardware, there wasn't any support in linux for it. So that didn't go very far. We then tried "andrew-linux" the CMU hacked up redhat, but ran into similar problems on that front. After waiting a little bit, a different friend decided to help me with debian. Basically, everyone was pushing on me the distro that they themselves used, and in the end, the friend who had the ambition to go build a working kernel for my system in the clusters won out. I found the interface to dselect very difficult to deal with, I would get caught in these dependancy loops and not know how to get out of them, but this subject has been beaten to death on this list. Eventually I learned all I needed to know, and am VERY glad that I ended up with debain. I have since installed a few red hat systems and caldera once, but (and it may be because of my knowledge of debian) I found those to be a pain. So, I don't know if that counts as debian-last, because although it was, it had nothing to do with trying others and not liking them. I would like to say tough, caldera's installer was so nice compared to debians. I've done over 50 debian installs, and I still found the caldera one better. PLUS it lets you play tetris while it copies files over. Too bad the out of the box networking was screwed up. -Aaron Solochek [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mark Suter wrote: > Folks, > > How common is the "Debian last" practice, that is, try other > distributions (including non-GNU/Linux) and then come to Debian > to stay? While the "Debian last" practice is probably the most common way that users become "Debian" users, it's in my opinion the poorest. When I decided that I had had enough of "Gates garbage", I gathered as much information as I could about the different distributions and found that the GNU concept was being followed most closely by Debian - that was enough for me. So I placed an order at CheapBytes - Hamm had just been released. Meanwhile I bought a linux book that contained a copy of Caldera and tried to get that running. A week later my Debian disks arrived (Caldera was still not running). I stuck the Debian 2.0 CD in my drive, loaded Hamm (it ran right out of the box - so much for the "hard to install" myth), and I haven't looked back since. Since that time I've loaded Red Hat, Caldera, Mandrake and Slakeware on spare hard drives just to see how well they perform. I found that none are really any easier than Debian, they just have fewer choices and packages. I've also watched co-workers pay good money for RedHat and Mandrake and never get them to run correctly on their system. Try convincing them that they're easy for first time users. I guess what I'm saying is that anyone that's advising newbys to start with other distributions and then switch to Debian are actually doing them a disservice. If you don't think so just scan the archives of this list and see how many questions there are like "on my (RedHat, Mandrake, SuSe etc.) box worked perfectly. Why doesn't Debian work right". The answer in virtually every case is that Debian does *work right*, but the user is trying to use a non-debian non-GNU method, configuration, or tool. IMHO if it's not GNU and/or it's not Debian dump it. *Debian First* John -- Powered by the Penguin

Moreover, the version with ships with Corel is probably old ( I don't know : on the network edition CD I have, wine is not present ). If you want to run a single application or a few ones, you may be lucky. Before installing wine, I suggest to check their web site: they keep a list of all the programs which have successfully run under Wine. Ciao -- FB

Re: Is Debian the last OS ?
Most newcomers to Linux will (understandably) start with a commercial distribution that they can find shrink wrapped on the shelves. That pretty much rules Debian out for them, but those who discover it later on tend to stick with it. Completely new to Linux/Unix, I started with Redhat 4.1, and then later Caldera, and didn't get too far with either one. I got them installed but was pretty much lost after that when it came to configuring them, installing software etc.. Finally I stumbled across a couple of posts about Debian that stirred my interest. I just went to the web site, started reading, downloaded a few files, and soon had the base system installed - this was the bo distribution. Contrary to most, I found Debian to be easier to learn. With the others, the whole system got installed right up front from the CD. But with Debian, I installed it piece by piece, package by package because I was downloading it over a modem. Dealing with it in smaller chunks I found myself leaning how to configure it, catching on to the package system etc., and soon was hooked for good.

My experience can't be the most usual, but well, it's my experience :) My first GNU/L installation was Debian Hamm in 1998. I had no trouble in the installation, but I got somewhat confused in dselect and when Debian ended loading I got much more confused with the prompt. I colud not distinguish between files and directories and this annoyed me a lot. Apart, I had some strange problems with W95 A, the excrement I was using by that times, and everytime I loaded Debian with the floppy, then, W95 did not loaded. The ext2 partition kept sleeping for months... Then I used RedHat (not bad, but I had some hardware problems related to power and I ruined a HDD) and Corel (quite disappointing). I used more recently Slackware but I remembered Debian, and with more knowledge of the theme, I started using Debian, which is the OS I want to run and running now in two machines of my home. As the only "Linux experts" (lots of laugh) that are in my circle of friends and relatives are a friend and me, and we are debianists, we always recommend Debian as the only GNU/L distribution to use and start with. The main points that I use in defending Debian is: -Transparency (that overrides "ease of use"). -Honesty. -Robustness. -Versatility (no 1Gb installations). -High-tech. -Non-commercial and progressive. -Technical support (we! :) ) The only problem I can find it's if the potential user does not have fluent English.

RE: Is Debian the last OS ?
I could not get Debian installed beyond the base system three years ago because it was confusing, so Debian could not be my first Linux.

Is Debian the last OS ?
Folks, How common is the "Debian last" practice, that is, try other distributions (including non-GNU/Linux) and then come to Debian to stay? Within Humbug[1], approximately 2/5 of the membership are now Debian users; however, only a few went straight to Debian. For me, Debian is the high point in most respects on a long road. In my work as a Systems Administrator I have used Solaris, Irix, Digital Unix, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and GNU/Linux. Within GNU/Linux, I've used MCC Interim Release, Yggdrasil, Slakware, Redhat and Debian. I still use all the non-GNU/Linux systems at work and they *do* have advantages, e.g. OpenBSD for security and crypto or Solaris for some serious 64 processor hardware; however, I believe that "Debian last" has allowed me to appreciate how good Debian GNU/Linux really is. Debian is improving all the time. Given the nature of the Debian distribution, I think that it is inevitable that Debian attract more first-time users. I believe that Debian will get there without needing to force it in that direction. For example, we Debian does auto-detection, it will be done *right* and this will be one step towards the "first distro" status. In any system that novices can use, the challenge is to scale to expert users. By aiming at the expert/developer end of the spectrum, Debian has avoided this very difficult problem.

My first guess is that it's either the difference in the kernel or how the kernel was compiled. One way to tell would be to do a quick compile of the 2.2.14 kernel with the same options you had selected with SuSE and see if that cures the problem. I know that currently on my box the 2.2.14 gives me better ppp performance then the 2.2.16. After compiling 2.2.16 yesterday my ppp became very erratic - sometimes connecting with either a crummy baud rate or a good baud rate with no transfer of data. When I boot with my 2.2.14 boot floppy, wvdial and pppd work flawlessly. Since in my experience most of these problems are caused by the user (me :-)) I'm going to recompile the 2.2.16 with exactly the same selections as the 2.2.14 and see if the problem goes away. If I find any definitive answer, I'll post the results. If not.. I'll keep searching. John -- Powered by the Penguin

sendmail error 553
hello
i got two strange problems with sendmail on my potato (i386, kernel
2.2.16, procmail 3.13.1-3) box. the problems are not exactly the same,
but they produce the same error message, and so they might have the same
cause.
i'm using sendmail 8.9.3-23, added the virtusertable
("FEATURE(virtusertable)") in sendmail.mc and configured it using webmin
0.80
i asked about this problem in irc channel #debian on irc.debian.org,
checked the bug reports and sendmail.org, but i didn't find anything
usable.
first problem:
trying to send mail to any address on that system using mutt will result
in a "Returned mail: see transcript for details". i get the following
information (my local user name is cockroach, from: address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and to: is [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(reason: 553 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... >cockroach<@desire.ch.)
- Transcript of session follows -
... while talking to mail.desire.ch.:
>>> MAIL From:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=513
<<< 553 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... >cockroach<@desire.ch.
501 5.6.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Data format er
if i use a different mail program (tested with netscape messenger) it
works.
second problem:
i can't send mail directly to a user (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]), but
only to entries in the virtual usertable. i get exactly the same error
message as mentioned above.
this problem occurs from _EVERY_ client which is not run in a local
shell.
as i'm not on this mailinglist, please send a CC of your replies to

hi, debians; I forget my root password and check the FAQs, somebody said that after reboot the system and mount filesystem and then edit the file /etc/passwd, it will work. so i reboot my computer with my rescue disk and at the boot prompt, type rescue mount=/dev/hdc1, when the screen shows the following message; kernel panic vfs; unable to mount root fs on 01;00. it stopped. Does anybody know how to handle this problem? also, when I reboot with my boot disk, it goes to same point and stop. Any information is appreciated! nianwei __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Compiling mc-4.5.44 [no:command not found]
Hi Fracesco, Thanks for your reply. No you are not wrong, according to another source of email message posted on : http://www.gnome.org:65348/mc/maillist/100-07/ 14175.964261019.332231733.html It also mentions about gettext. Then I checked my system, there is no gettext installed. So I installed gettext-0.10.35 and re-configured mc-4.5.44, make yields no error this time and finally installed mc. Thanks for your help. BTW, the old config.log do not mention about msgfmt but an error to xpm.h which is concerning X windows. I havn't installed that package yet. Cheers.

[Updated] PPP Rx errors...
Well... I have continued to play with this...switching between suse and debian...and have been able to partially fix the problem. By setting my wvdial baud rate down to 57600 from 115200 i get only 1 error in 1000 packets... which is respectable... However, I would still like to know why 115200 works without a single error on the SuSE setup...but with the same settings debian gives me errors... I am using an external USR v.everything modem on a 16550A serial port... The SuSE box was 6.4 with a 2.2.14 kernel..and the debian box is potato with the 2.2.15 kernel... all the versions seem to be the same (wvdial, pppd, etc...) any ideas? anyone? thanks again On Sat, Jul 29, 2000 at 12:12:50AM -0500, Sean Richardson wrote: > Hello, > > I recently migrated from SuSE 6.4 to Debian potato...and I am having some > problems with my PPP connection. > > Under SuSE my connection worked flawlessly and I was able to use SuSE > firewall to share it among my home network with little effort.
