DocBook User Documentation
Greetings, I would like to use DocBook to create the documentation for a project I'm working on (see signature) but have been unable to find instructions for generating various formats of output. An exception to that complaint is the set of instructions in docbook2x-doc for translating DocBook documents into (nroff) man or texinfo documents. These simply present a means for converting documents. I guess what I'm really loooking for is a cookbook that says "This is how to make HTML out of DocBook. This is how to generate PostScript." I have not been able to find anything like that. Most of the documentation I have found seems intent on teaching me the inner workings of DSSSL, which I really don't care about. Something Debian-specific would be ideal (e.g. "Install this package, do this to create a PDF."), but I'll take something less specific if that's all that is out there. Any suggestions? I have been able to find documentation for marking up a document with the DocBook DTD, so that is not a problem. Thanks, David -- David H.

Package installation error -- What is going on?
When I recently tried out aptitude, apt-get replaced apt 0.3.19 with apt 0.5.3. On the very next install (docbook-doc), I had problems. I don't know if it was a problem with the docbook-doc package or of the new apt package. In the meanwhile, I'm afraid of installing more packages lest I compound some problem with the package maintenance system. I'm using unstable, as somewhere alone the line I needed something that was unavailable in stable or testing. Should I ignore this error and proceed as normal, or are there steps I need to take to correct a problem? (Please CC: me with any responses, as I no longer monitor the debian-user list. Thank you.)

The current version of potato *is* unstable by definition. (In fact, if you FTP to ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/ and enter the command `ls -l`, you will see that ``stable'' is a symbolic link to slink and ``unstable'' is a symbolic link to potato.) I suggest that you install slink. Slink's only failing is that it might not have the latest version of some software available for it. Some of the sotware that you might otherwise only be able for potato might be available via http://www.freshmeat.org/, compiled for slink. (Potato uses a newer set of libraries.)

Pressing tells the shell to attempt to complete a partial word. If it can not tell without ambiguity what word to complete, the shell will beep. If you then press a second time, it will list the possible completions. If there are a large number of possible completions, the shell will ask you before displaying them. The word that the shell tries to complete depends upon the cursor's current position within a command line. When the cursor is over the first word, the shell is trying to match against a command name. With the cursor on a subsequent word, the shell tries to match against a filename. Bash supports this feature. Other shells might, but I am not sure of that. Interestingly enough, since the code library which contains this functionality is GPL'd, other programs, such as ftp clients, also support filename completion. As for your particular use, the first time you press , your shell attempts to match to a command. Since you have not yet started to type a command name, the complete list of commands is a potential match. When you press a second time, your are offered a chance to see the list of possible matches. Try typing a partial command name, followed by a or two and you will see more completely what I mean. Try typing while in the middle of a program's argument, for filename completion.

I didn't like that my previous solution, because it only dealt reasonably
with one physical interface at a time. By making a virtual variable to
track the virtual interface for each physical interface, the virtualif()
function no longer requires that the administrator set up all of the
virtual interfaces for a given physical interface before setting up the
next physical interface. This allows the administrator who maintains
separate domains over the the same network to group entries in the
/etc/init.d/network file in a more logical manner. There is also no
longer a need to reset the counter manually.

This is something that has been bothering me for a while. I want to
thank Doctor What for mentioning the problem and Mirek Kwasniak for the
solution.
Since I have a large number of virtual addresses, I wrote a little
function to perform the ifconfig & route operations together. As a
bonus side benefit, I no longer have to manually number the virtual
interfaces. I'm posting the function so that other people can make
use of this refinement.
# IFCOUNTER counts the virtual interfaces.
IFCOUNTER=0
# Set up a virtual interface.
#
# Usage:
#virtualif [reset]
#
# Example:
#virtualif eth0 192.168.246.1 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.127
#virtualif eth0 192.168.246.2 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.127
#virtualif eth0 192.168.246.3 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.127
#virtualif eth1 192.168.246.129 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.255 reset
#virtualif eth1 192.168.246.130 255.255.255.128 192.168.246.255
#
# The use of the reset flag starts the virtual interface counter from zero.
#
virtualif() {
INTERFACE=$1
IP=$2
NETMASK=$3
BROADCAST=$4
RESET=$5
# When specified, reset the counter so that a second interface can
# have its own series of virtual interfaces.
if [ ${RESET} ]
then
IFCOUNTER=0
fi
# Build the virtual interface name string.
VIRTUAL=${INTERFACE}:${IFCOUNTER}
# The point of all of this is to:
/sbin/ifconfig ${VIRTUAL} ${IP} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
/sbin/route add -host ${IP} ${VIRTUAL}
# Increment the virtual interface counter.
IFCOUNTER=`/usr/bin/expr ${IFCOUNTER} + 1`
}
Despite the examples mentioned, I set shell variables for the netmask(s)
and broadcast address(es) to enhance readability and to avoid mistakes
in typing. I also use shell variables to give names to the IP addresses,
so the calls tend to look like:
WWWORBITSCOM=207.199.167.12
WWWSILBERSOFTCOM=207.199.167.14
virtualif eth0 ${WWWORBITSCOM} ${NETMASK} ${BROADCAST}
virtualif eth0 ${WWWSILBERSOFTCOM} ${NETMASK} ${BROADCAST}
I hope this helps someone,

But I don't need to do address translation. All I need is IP forwarding. I don't think that IP forwarding depends upon IP masquerading. (Quite the contrary, in fact.) Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think a 40 mb install should be doable. I have such a system, so yes, it is doable. But after setting aside swap space, plus that 26 MB from the base installation, there isn't a whole lot of room left. Regards, David H.

There is a seperate package for make in the rex/binary-i386/devel/
subdirectory.

Install apsfilter or magicfilter. I use apsfilter and print to
an HP laser printer without postscript. (You will also want the
lpr and gs (ghostscript) packages.)

Lost X on upgrade to 1.1
I just upgraded my laptop to 1.1 and now X is broken. I keep getting the messages: apm_bios: set display standby: Unrecognized device ID apm_bios: set display ready: Unrecognized device ID when I try to run X. I thought that maybe I just needed to change some of the configuration, but nothing seems to help. (I still have what used to work, just in case.) Also, the Control-Alt-PlusSign and Control-Alt-BackSpace keystrokes do not seem to provide their advertized functions (switch screens and exit X). Any suggestions? More information provided as needed. Thanks, David -- David H. Silber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project: Vacation! <http://www.access.digex.net/~dhs/> Project: lockstep Programmer for hire.
