I set this myself the other day, for some reason or other. Nice to know that it's nothing to do with hardware at all :-).

Strangeness at boot
Recently, I have started getting messages like this at boot and shutdown: trap: illegal number SIGHUP trap: illegal number SIGINT Has anyone any idea what may be causing them? I am worried that it may be related to a bad case of overheating I had the other day when my CPU fan started to die (and that is _not_ a good thing on a Cyrix 6x86...).

Not that I've tried it, but I'm running a bo system with several packages built from hamm source; it's mostly a case of watching out for things like -lresolv -lcrypt and deleting them from debian/rules. The only problems I can envisage are includes of the type where foo.h is a libc6 header; I do not know how easy this can be resolved. -djd -- I told her I was a hacker.

Most already use ISO-8895-1 for news/mail. This is liable to be replaced by UTF-? (I'm not up to scratch on Unicode things).

I was checking regularly for the results of the poll. They didn't have the results of the poll up after it finished, so who knows what the final results were... apart from those @slashdot.org.

If this poll represents the majority, it would seem that Debian has a large following that is not prone to advocacy as the Red Hat crowd while Slackware is a rather noisy minority. > BTW: Congrats Ian, and Kudos to Bruce, for a job well done.

Re: Basic networking setup
Well. It seems that the problem with my network is hardware rather than software related. I initialised the cards from DOS, and there were some diagnostic utils too. According to the diagnostics, the 'Media Connector' or somesuch is a dud. The cables, t pieces and terminators are fine, so suffice to say the card is being returned tomorrow. Thanks for everyones suggestions, and sorry for wasting your time :) Dom -- Dominic Davidson "cogito ergo sum tendicula" -- anon -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Basic networking setup
I've been trying to set up a *very* simple network with two peers
recently. This is my first exploration into ethernet related issues
under Linux.
Before I get started properly, the FM's I have read are the NAG,
NET-3-HOWTO and the Ethernet-HOWTO.
The cards I am using are two NE2000 clones, manufactured by Trust and
with a RealTek chipset (according to Win95). They are PNP, but isapnp
seems to work, as does modprobe ne. We are connecting via 10Base2 (the
cable has been checked and is fine, and the fact that isapnp and
modprobe don't fail suggests that the cards are OK. The ne2k diagnostic
program finds the card too. The T pieces and terminators were brand new
with the card).
On boot, the cards are assigned addresses by /etc/init.d/network (both
are Debian 1.3 machines). This is what mine looks like, the other
machine has one exactly the same save for the ip address being
192.168.0.2.
#! /bin/sh
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
route add -net 127.0.0.0
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
GATEWAY=
ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} netmask ${NETMASK} broadcast ${BROADCAST}
route add -net ${NETWORK}
[ "${GATEWAY}" ] && route add default gw ${GATEWAY} metric 1
However, pinging 192.168.0.2 gives *no* error messages (such as 'no
route to host), it just fails quietly.
I've tried playing around with arp stuff, routes and many other things,
but still it fails. This list is my last resort before I take the cards
back and resign myself to a net quake free life :).
Thanks in advance,
Dom
