Unfortunately: NO. from the installation manual: http://www.de.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apcs03.html.en The base installation for i386 using the default 2.4 kernel, including all standard packages, requires 573MB of disk space. It might be possible to deselect some standard packages to reduce that size, but that is definitely not recommended for first time Linux users. I also wouldn't recommend an removable hard drive as a medium to install linux to. In principle it is possible to install debian to an external usb-disk (and I have managed to do it), but I certainly wouldn't recommend trying it for a first time linux user. To have a 'full' installation usable for newbees, ie. one including a graphical desktop environment, one requires about 2GB of disk space. If you want to use kde and try some extra packages, 5GB is even better. I would guess that such an installation contains more applications and more features than a 'comparable' WinXP installation that requires about 5 times that size. (My 'minimal' Xp installation (office, cd-burner, adobe reader, mozilla, little else) consumes about 9GB and has orders of magnitude less usability than my plentyful 5GB of debian). If you would like to just have a look at linux, try one of the distributions that boot of a cd without requireing an installation. I would recommend knoppix (www.knopper.net). If you definitely want to install it to your computer, you would want to give it some disk space on your hard disk. If you have some free disk space on your windows partitions, it is quite straightforeward to resize one of those and create the required space for debian during installation.

(Some) received packets are not reaching a listening application (UDP?)
Hello everybody, I have an issue with an application not receiving all traffic that it should be getting. The current system is a non-Debian GNU/Linux, but since I had a similar issue using Debian and I am not following any other Linux-related list, I hope not to be off topic. I have taken the liberty to CC debian-kernel because I feel that the kernel is getting the packets but not forwarding them. The first experience--using the Debian system--was some months ago, so accuracy is not guaranteed. At that time I had decided to try configuring network autodetection (on a laptop using a 10/100 Broadcom Ethernet chipset, and a 2.6.x packaged kernel) using one of Debian's packages, laptop-net, I think. Under ordinary circumstances I did not manage to make it work. However, when capturing traffic with Ethereal, I found that the IP was correctly configured from the previous arbitrary state. The situation was weired, I wasn't really moving around much and time was scarce, so I let the issue drop. Now I have seen a similar situation with syslog running under a RedHat system with a 2.6.9 kernel. This time, capturing traffic on the wire shows no packet loss, and a tcpdump capture on the interface shows all messages arriving, but syslog does not log all of them. However, when running nc -l -u -p 514 /dev/null, without stopping the syslog daemon, all messages are written down. As a matter of fact, it seems that nc -l -u -p 514 /dev/null is just as good, but since the process is stopped automatically not even I quite believe my eyes. I hope that somebody can offer some insight as to what might be happening or how to look deeper into the problem. I might not be able to readily work on the affected system, but it would anyway be good to get some tips as to how to further look into the problem. Hints about the reason and, why not, how to mend the situation would also work wonders. Thanks. -- Gonzalo HIGUERA DÍAZ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, you can do that by using a virtual machine (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines for some ideas about what to use), but I recomend that if you just want to give linux a little try and not use it seriously then you use a LiveCD, like Knoppix, to see if you can get the feel of using linux and if you like it then repartition your hard drive and set it up to dual boot windows and linux (or just wipe out windows :-) ). Also, the website is slightly confusing (I'm a first time Linux user). Now you need to be more specific.

Re: installing sarge from hard drive on libretto110ct
Hi Liudmila, I have Debian (amoungst other things) running on a Libretto 110CT. It is a nice little machine once you get it installed, but as you have discovered, one of the more challenging install targets... The PCMCIA floppy is of limitted use for installation, because it is PCMCIA and only the BIOS knows how to read it. Once you have booted, if a second or more floppies are required by the installer (as is often the case to load extra modules), you are stuck. The 800x480 screen was hard to get going other than at 640x480 originally, but I think the X server on Sarge worked ok out of the box. The way I got my system installed (which probably won't help you directly) was.. 1. Red Hat Install - could not use any PCMCIA device (floppy, CD, ethernet) due to modules needed from a second floppy, so configured a desktop machine as a CD server and used a laplink cable and PLIP. 2. Replaced RedHat with SuSE, bootstrapping from the RedHad installation. 3. Installed Debian Sarge using had disk install from SuSE. I have since installed on a number of Libretto's by 'cheating' and just installing the hard drive in a desktop machine using a 2.5 cable adapter, and dd'ing a copy of my current system onto the partition. I have also upgraded the hard drive several times, and am now at 100GB. Be careful not to create any partitions that overlap with the hibernation area on the disk. If your disk is larger than 4GB it will be in the middle of the disk somewhere. (Cylinder 1018-1042 on mine). The hard disk install from Windows that you are trying is probably the easiest option for you. I havn't tried it myself, especially with such an old version of Windows (my Libretto came with W95 installed). The diagnostic seems to indicate a problem mounting your ramdisk, so I would check the integrity of the image and the arguments to loadlin. If nobody more familiar with Windows offers any insights there, I could give it a go on my machine and see if it boots from my W95 partition. Also, you didn't mention how large you hard disk is, and what you have in the way of network connectivity. Those items will probably effect the choice of install strategy. If all else fails, I could probably get you a bootable Linux partition image which we would just need to get coppied into a partition on your hard drive.

I gravely need someone to take me through it, as I feel that I've tried everything and can't think of anything else to do. The laptop had an empty hard drive and external PCMCIA floppy and cd drives. It cannot boot from cd drive, only from floppy or hard drive. I installed dos on it and formatted the hard drive. At first, I tried to do an install using only floppies. I made attempts to install both potato and sarge that way, with the same result: after booting with a linux boot floppy, the machine demands a root floppy but never releases the floppy drive (it continues to spin). When, ignoring that, I pull the boot floppy and replace it with the root floppy, it responds with a bunch of queer messages and unable to mount root floppy etc. Somewhere I read that initial linux boot floppy does not have the pcmcia drivers on it, so the machine may not be able to communicate with its floppy in such an install. Correct me if I am wrong. So, after a lot of messing around I installed windows 3.1 and pcmcia cdrom drivers for dos which allowed me to copy the whole debian disk 1 onto the harddrive. I followed the instructions in the installation manual for a hard drive install. I copied loadlin, vmlinuz, initrd.gz and the .iso file for the 1st of the sarge install cds onto c:\ and tried installing linux by invoking loadlin c:\vmlinuz root=/dev/ram rw initrd=c:\initrd.gz. This results in scanning of vmlinuz and initrd, with a bunch of boot messages and finally cramfs: wrong magic kernel panic: VFS: unable to mount root fs on 01:00. I tried changing the root= parameter, I downloaded vmlinuz and initrd.gs from sarge's hd-media subfolder, but all that results in kernel panic and inability to mount root fs. I copied root.img onto c:\ with no results. I tried using sbm to tell the laptop to boot from the cd, but sbm cannot see the device. I guess it is not an ide. I know I am pretty clueless when it comes to linux, but I have installed debian on a few machines before, and I am able to follow the instructions.. What am I missing? I am stumped. Please help.

Re: Building case for Debian in server room at a University
Hi, I agree that Debian rocks. I've spent a few years with different distros to figure that out. However this is a decision made by committee of people, and so business logic must govern the decision making process. The big difference between commercial and non-commercial is obviously support and the perception that the commercial products are professionally developed and more commonly used. For other things we could start the process with an RFP sent to various vendors, but who could answer that for Debian? So in place of that, we are looking for feedback from users of Debian in busy server rooms that see things such as 1 million emails a day (most rejected by spam assassin), and DHCP handling a MAC lookup of about 8000 entries. Has anyone ever written a book like The complete Debian handbook? The official Debian documentation has issues and doesn't match something like an O'Reilly text or even a Gentoo Guide. Is there a company that offers paid support contracts for Debian? I'm thinking of these things to fill in where Redhat and Suse offer resources to my co-workers. --DonaldOn 5/25/06, lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wed, May 24, 2006 at 10:15:00PM -0300, Donald Teed wrote: It would be helpful if I could learn of other academic institutions using Debian in core Internet service roles, such as email and spam filtering, DNS, DHCP, web, etc. Hm, much could be said, but it all comes down to that Debian justrocks.What problems do you see with it?GH--To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Which is the most stable of Debian releases?
Tshepang Lekhonkhobe wrote: Hi, It's well-known that Debian releases are rock-solid. But I've been wondering if there's been a comparison between various releases as regards stability. It would be nice if there's some commentary from long-time Debian users (say those who experienced it pre-Woody), and another way is by judging by the number security fixes to a particular release. Any stats out there? By definition and well supported by experience, debian stable is the most stable debian. It's useless to compare current stable, debian sarge, to any debian stable in past or future. By the way is there a distro out there considered as stable as Debian's Stable. This is not a question of which is a better distro (too many variables involved there), but just a question of, which distro breaks less? I used to use suse and found that it breaks much more than debian. That's why I moved all my workstations and servers to debian. In general, this is a difficult question to answer generally. If one is familiar with the details of an OS it's usually more 'stable' for that person to stick with it than switching to a new system. In the long run it might pay off to switch to a more stable, but less familiar distro. Despite the fact that debian has more software packaged than other distributions, its security and stability are legendary. If you don't require all that packages (and don't bother to remove the packages not necessary for your tasks) other distributions with less packages available, but taylored to your taste may appear more stable. That's just my personal, maybe biased view. YMMV. Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To me it seemed, that it's enough, untill I have run also OpenVPN client on this firewall that connected to other network, so that our local network could easily acces this other network. I noticed that running OpenVPN client on firewall made slover connection as if I have run OpenVPN client directly on PC.

x11-common: I fiddled with the X11 symbolic links
Trying to fullfill x11-common's postinst requests, I'm pretty certain I messed up my X11 lib / bin / include directories and symlinks. Where can I find a description of what the standard X11 directory setup is (for sid), with details about the /usr/lib/X11 /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/include/X11 symbolic links, so I can fix my box ? Here's the detail of what happened : first, x11-common.postinst claimed that /usr/bin/X11 points to wrong location. (It was pointing to .) I then tried various other destinations, read the postinst script for insight, and no luck. At some point I typed apt-get -f install x11-common instead of just apt-get -f install, and then got a dialog information about the symlink issue. from then on I managed to rework various symlinks : /usr/bin/X11 /usr/lib/X11 /usr/include/X11 in a way that satisfied x11-common.postinst. but now a few X programs exhibit issues. for instance xdtv : open(/usr/lib/X11/locale/common/xlcDef.so.2, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) write(2, Warning: Unable to load any usab..., 43) = 43 and I had to alter symlinks again so it could find the X11 locale directory... I wasnt paying enough attention in the process so I can't say for sure what the precise steps where in that faulty update.

debian kernel package for ubuntu
Hi all ... I'm trying to help someone rebuilding its kernel from sources. Since I do not have physical access to the machine, I planned to build a custom debian package linux-image using make-kpkg on my own debian box and let her install the package with dpkg on her ubuntu box. So my question is simply to know if installing a debian kernel package on ubuntu is feasible or if it will lead to problems ? TIA for any help...

Yes, you can do that by using a virtual machine (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines for some ideas about what to use), but I recomend that if you just want to give linux a little try and not use it seriously then you use a LiveCD, like Knoppix, to see if you can get the feel of using linux and if you like it then repartition your hard drive and set it up to dual boot windows and linux (or just wipe out windows :-) ).

is it a bad idea to use unstable on a server ?
Hi, I've been using unstable on my desktop for several years now, and I'm very happy with it. I don't mind the occasional breakage, and actually think fixing bugs can be fun ;-).

Re: installing sarge from hard drive on libretto110ct
Hello Luda, So far the agreement between you guys and my other linux-friends seems to be that I should pull the hard drive and install on another system. I will do that as a last resort, because I will probably have a nightmare of a time configuring it on the libretto with all the devices. I also prefer to do the initial install on the actual target if at all possible, although in general you can get a running system using a hard drive from an installation done on another machine. So, before I do that, I'd like to explore other options. Digby, you said that you installed Debian from SuSE using a hard drive install. What did you do? I am trying a hard drive install, but I am failing, as I described above. Will the difference be that I do it with loadlin and you did it with lilo? Can I get lilo going from dos? It was quite different, - didn't require lilo or grub to start the initial install system. The procedure involved copying the installation system into a sub-directory on the SuSE system, and then chrooting into it, From there I was able to do a net-install using my PCMCIA ethernet card. Essentially it was the Debian net-install the SuSE kernel and drivers, but Debian filesystem and commands. This was back in January - I think the installation instructions may have changed since then.. and I have just finished an install on quite a different laptop, so my memory of what I did on the Libretto is now a bit hazy :-/ I have a 4G hard drive. Dos can only see 2 G of it, so I partitioned the other 2 G into ext2. I left 8M at the end of the disk for sleep/wake cycles (I read somewhere that's where libreto wants them on 4G drives...). That doesn't sound right. If you partition the disk while it is in the Libretto, the BIOS knows about about the hibernation area and will reserve it automatically (it has to be big enough to store your entire memory - which is potentially 64MB). You only have to worry about about reserving it yourself if you use a HDD larger than 4GB, or do the partitioning in another machine. I used root=/dev/ram, root=/dev/hda2, root=/dev/hdb2 and many other permutations of /dev/hd** with the same result. The only difference from trying to mount it in ram, is that for RAM-mount it complains cramfs: wrong magic and for /dev/hd** mount that message does not appear. I have 32 M of RAM, and during RAMDISK driver initialization (loadlin-boot method) it allocates 16 RAM disks with 8192 K size, 1024 blocksize. Is that a little much? Maybe my memory is corrupted somewhere, I'll check it out. I havn't tried loadlin. If you give me the URL corresponding to the images you downloaded, I'll try them on the Windows partition on my system to see if they work for me. I have pcmcia network cards and internet access though a modem on another machine, but I have no faith in being able to get pcmcia to work at such early stage of install. You'll definately need to get the initial install system booted first before you have any chance to use the network card. I could install windows95 from hard drive, install pcmcia ethernet card, and try to do a network install from my linux desktop at home. But, I have no idea how to configure things on the desktop to do that. Besides, I would only be able to do that if I could boot from hard drive, which I can't! I don't want to install over a modem from debian websites, because I do not trust security of my isp. In that case a netinstall is probably not very practical. If your desktop machine has a CD or DVD, you would probably be better off just using the network to do a remote CD/DVD based install. If all else fails, I could probably get you a bootable Linux partition image which we would just need to get coppied into a partition on your hard drive. How would that work? If you create a partition of corresponding size, then you would just need to copy the image into it. I'm not a Windows person, so I don't know the easiest way to do it from windows. I would probably download a hosted inferno system (Inferno is an operating system that can run on top of windows, and gives you access to Unix style commands like dd), but it might be a bit of a diversion if you are not familiar with it. You could also try booting from a linux rescue floppy, mount the DOS partition, and use 'dd' to write the image to the linux partition. Then use lilo on the floppy to boot to it, and if that works install lilo or grub onto your HDD MBR. Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.

Re: ALSA, AWE32, kernel 2.6 issues?
On Fri, 26 May 2006 the mental interface of Mark Tilford told: I recently upgraded my kernel from 2.2 to 2.6; various other problems eventually required a complete OS reinstall. I can't get my sound card (Creative SB AWE 32) to work with ALSA; it worked fine under OSS. Is there anything special about Debian that may require me to configure things differently from the ALSA documentation? snd-sbawe is part of the kernel drivers. The card is supported and you must have installed alsa-utils libasound2 etc. To build your card as a module try alsa-source and prepare the modules build to choose snd-sbawe while in debconf.

Debian Etch with 2 Internet Connections Load Balanced
HiSo I'm trying to configure a Debian Etch box that is connected to 2 internet connections (WAN) both have static IP configurations and work fine if a default route points to only 1 of them and 1 LAN connection. I've followed the directions at: http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html many times and am at a loss.
