As I posted here more than once, I had a new install of Debian (rex) and I was trying to get to the 'dselect-ftp' portion of the install. My PPP now works!! After a marathon session of tweaking my options files, all appears fine. It is too late tonight to try and install any packages (maybe just a teensy _little_ one :) but the modem logs in to my ISP, ifconfig reports all is well, and pinging various sites reports everything is smooth. Here's what I 'tweaked' /etc/ppp/options: The _only_ options I left enabled were crtscts lock modem passive I know these vary according to your needs, but many other options were 'on' by default and one by one I turned things off until it worked. One confusing thing (to this newcomer) was the PAP authentication: should it be on or off? I know my ISP requires it (I check that box on Trumpett :) so I kept trying in my options file to have it enabled. Not needed, apparently. I do have a /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file with my_username, *, and my_password. I don't know if it mattered in the end. One thing I read in the HOWTO was to check /etc/resolv.conf Mine had garbage in it, so I replaced that with my domain and nameserver numbers. I just had to share that the ppp now appears to be working well. On to better things!!

If you have >problems, come back to the list. > He's back... I followed the suggestions of 1) base install 2) extra modules (ppp, perl, cpp, etc. as in my last message) After configuring ppp to my ISP parameters, I ran pon and was given: this kernel does not support ppp. I guess I get to build a new kernel? Or am I making this whole thing more difficult than it should be? to recap: I'm installing 'rex' to a Debian partition on my hard drive. I boot from a floppy, since the majority of what I do (including the ability to send this message) resides in Dos/Windows on the primary partition. Install was smooth, except the install program never figured out my CD rom drive. That is not important right now. I'd like to be able to finish my install (translation: add packages) using the FTP method, so I could hopefully avoid the back and forth nature of realizing I'm missing a package, rebooting to dos, accessing a FTP site, reboot to Linux, realize there's another package missing, etc... The main reason I really want this to work is I have a pile of parts that hopefully will become a new Linux box, w/o the dos partition. The main function of this box is to access my e-mail and web work on the internet, through my local ISP. I'd prefer to use Debian. If that is going to work I _must_ have a way to quickly get the modem working. If anyone has been down this road before and would like to offer suggestions, I'm open to them. Again, Debian is working fine, I think, but to add packages it is a pain unless I can grab them straight into Debian w/o going through the DOS / Windows first. Thanks everyone for the advice so far, and for creating a really neat package. Bri -- "the talkin' is over (the walkin' has begun)" - J.

1.2 and dpkg-ftp (was: upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2?)

Since it was a new system, I thought it better to go ahead and install from the beginning. My last (messed up) attempt was from disks I retrieved last week from 'stable'. 2) install went good, except debian seems confused by my cd rom drive. I can live with this a while, since I'd rather have a working system first. The CD can come later. 3) After creating a boot floppy and rebooting, I'm automatically logged in as root. I think I saw this in a message earlier this week, so I'll check the archives and see what's up with that. 4) Just for grins, I ran dselect and chose ftp as the access method. It was suggested by one user that all the required files should be on the base disks. This is what I received: dpkg(subprocess): failed to exec C compiler 'gcc': no such file or directory dpkg: subprocess gcc -- print-libgcc-file-name returned error exit status 2 The program then asked for the name of an FTP site, password, etc. If I go along with these requests, it finally says FTP ERROR and returns me to a prompt. 5) I downloaded (from rex) these packages to my MSDOS partition: cpp netstd netbase ppp dpkg dpk-ftp io libwww perl Running dselect, and asking it to install all of the above, went well except for dpkg-ftp. On this, when configuring it asked for 'libnet', which I apparently did not have. I just downloaded it and will now return to Debian to try to finish my install.

I set the ftp site, and told it to update the list of I'm a new user, with a new Debian install. the 'ftp' access method doesn't work yet, at least not on my system. (the base install went fine, first time. Cool system, that Debian!) Is there a FAQ I could read about how to get 'over the hump' - _from_ a base installation _to_ where the dpkg-ftp is working and I'm able to download by modem? >and it did the job for me. If you are a modem user it could take days. It would still probably be faster than: shutdown and reboot Start Windows Login to internet find a FTP site that's not busy find the files I want, save them to my DOS hard drive reboot, start Debian, start Dselect, load packages find out the package I just downloaded depends on another I don't have yet start over etc. Thanks, Bri -- "the talkin' is over (the walkin' has begun)" - J.
