Re: Replicating setup
Hi, dpkg --get-selections file and dpkg --set-selections file will only _install_ packages installed on source machine, it will not purge any packages on the target machine which are not installed on the source. Thus the packages on target might be a superset of those on source. I use to use: dpkg --get-selections \* file Regards, Chris
debian CDs
Hi, Is there anybody out there who managed to create slink CDs using slink_cd-1.13 scripts and is willing to give me some assistance? I used to burn bo and hamm disks for me and my friends now, I'm having problems with slink. I must be getting old :-( Please contact me using privat mail, the list is noisy enough, I will summarize afterwards. Maybe a mini-mini-HOWTO :-) Regards, Chris
Re: Using a Sun keyboard to a PC?
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 18 19:47:48 1997 I was wondering if anyone has been able to connect a Sun keyboard to a PC? Yes, I know of few people. They used a self made converter. It ought to be possible since Linux can run on Sparc. But maybe the hardware is completely different? That's right. AFAIK PC keyboard interface is synchron (uses one bidirectional data wire) and Sun's one is asynchron (two wires, transmit and receive). Any hint? Check this one: http://www.it.kth.se/~pme/sunkbd.html You will find there a rather sparse description of a converter which should do the job. Although the circuit might look easy it requires from you some amount of electronic skill. If you don't have it do what I did: find a friend who has some :-) Seriously speeking, few days ago I built the converter and yesterday evening managed to program the eeprom in the microcontroller. This morning I gave it to a professional for debugging because it doesn't work :-( I will let you know as soon as there is some progress. -- /Jörgen Hägg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Chris Chris Osicki ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) GfAI - Group for Applied Informatics Ltd.

Debian 1.2 and XFree86 X-Server 3.2
Hi, Please forgive me if this question has been answered before. Is there anybody out there running XFree86 server with Debian 1.2 on a ThinkPad 760E in 800x600 mode?

RE: Latest rescue disk locks up Thinkpad
Hi Debian friends, I have just manage to boot and load the base system (debian 1.2) on a ThinkPad 760E, which doesn't boot from standard rescue floppy. I build a zImage (2.0.27) and replace the linux on the rescue floppy with it. Then I mounted /dev/fd0 on /mnt and did rdev /mnt/linux /dev/ram The thinkpad booted fine, however, during the device drivers installation several messages about unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.0.27 have been reported. Anyway, it an improvement :-) I am going to try to get PCMCIA Ethernet card to work and see if I can install the whole thing. I put the rescue image, kernel config file and the kernel I used to boot the thinkpad on my ftp-server ftp.gfai.ch/pub/thinkpad.
