kernel-image-2.4.2[01].*-k7.deb bootet readonly
Hi, die aktuellen genannten Kernel booten auf meinem nforce2 Chipsatz Board anscheinend nur im readonly Modus. Der init prozess kommt nicht in die Gänge, keine shell oder login möglich, auch bei boot argument 'single'. Erkenne bei den Kernel-Boot-Meldungen zwischen den vielen Ausgaben sowas wie cannot read/write mtab, die fsck's klappen alle nicht, nix wird gemountet, nichtmal / . apt installiert die deb Pakete incl. initrd lilo ohne Fehler. Mein hausgebackener 2.4.20 (ohne initrd) bootet wunderbar. Kai Neahnung, wo/wie ich da ansetzen kann. Wer hat eine Idee. -- Haeufig gestellte Fragen und Antworten (FAQ): http://www.de.debian.org/debian-user-german-FAQ/ Zum AUSTRAGEN schicken Sie eine Mail an [EMAIL PROTECTED] mit dem Subject unsubscribe.

Könnte man es nicht so einstellen, dass das Netzwerk sich auch noch

Re: Help with install: Woody
Lars Jensen wrote: How do I install woody over a ppp connection? Here's what I've done so far: First I downloaded the images and created the three installation floppies, rescue.bin, root.bin, drivers.bin. The installation goes fine until the installer asks where to find the base system. I'm not sure what to do at this point? I have looked around on the debian ftp site, and I don't see any base.tgz or anything like that. Which files are the installer looking for? Where do I find them? if going directly to a woody installation, as described by the other mails, is too dificult you might install a base potato system instead, maybe from an existing cd set, configure ppp and go to dist-upgrade to woody. But if you do not have cd's, it's the same as with potato. gk

Re: NIS question: ypserver=localhost in yp.conf on slave NIS?
Ralf G. R. Bergs wrote: step that is NOT contained in the howto. can't cover all possibilities Whenever my master server was unreachable the slave server couldn't read the passwd map. So I entered ypserver localhost in /etc/yp.conf, et voila, things worked again. so your localhost is the second nis server, isn't it? Is this The Right Thing(TM) to do? Or why didn't the library functions on the slave server machine automatically use the slave NIS instead of the master NIS server after the disappearance of the master server was detected? nis is a service. it gets served by a daemon for who ever calls it. if you set up the daemon to server, you haven't set implicitly any client to call. usually ypbind is used to bind (connect) to the server, and when you actually call any nis-info (let say a passwd entry) your system looks how to get it (nsswitch.conf) and then looks which ypserver serves this info (i.e. the one ypbind is bound to) and makes the call. when the server bound to is gone, then ypbind acts as configured (see man ypbind). debian asks which is your ypserver during installation of nis package. and this gets noted in yp.conf. all you can put in there is documented in man yp.conf. and putting ypserver hostname in there is just right for multiple servers in one nis-domain. when ypbind takes notice of a gone (or bad to reach) ypserver it binds to the recently best one to reach, as configured in yp.conf. (it could be done by broadcasts also, but that's usually no good choice). gerhard

hi, i try to setup automount for linux using solaris-nis+ maps. i need to adopt them to work with linux automounter. but my problem for now is, that auto-maps on sunserver are different than what i can see from linux: linux ypcat auto.master auto_direct auto_home -hosts -nosuid and on master server from solaris i get: solaris niscat auto_master.org_dir /- auto_direct /home auto_home /net -hosts -nosuid what makes me wonder is auto.master shows parts of auto_master. that translation of _ to . should be a bug? and first column of auto_master gets lost! i'm shure ther's no oter nisserver in our local net, where i could fetch wrong maps. and these entries are not present at linuxes auto.master map. any ideas? gerhard -- some infos: Package: nis Version: 3.3.3-1 -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux stardust 2.2.10 #2 Wed Jul 14 15:41:43 CEST 1999 i686 unknown Versions of the packages nis depends on: ii libc6 2.1.1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone ii libgdbmg1 1.7.3-26.2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime version). ii make3.77-7 The GNU version of the make utility. ii netbase 3.15-4 Basic TCP/IP networking binaries

Probably the biggest problem for people used to netscape type browsers is that Lynx with do everything that they do (sans waste bandwidth downloading huge, and usually useless, graphic images) and a whole lot more but things are done in a different way.

One issue: there is already a lot of documentation out there. ( I will
not vouch for its quality or lack thereof, but volume is something that it

documentation.
the most common problem I have encountered when suggesting Linux as an
OS to other people is, that even though there is a wealth of docs out
there, new users don't know where to look for them. Newbies need to be told
where to find the information. I think that in many cases the doc's are
not read simply because the user is not aware of them (I had a user in here
the other day who, after two years of using a UNIX system, did not know
about the man command ...). I think this is a problem which needs to be
addressed.
i agree to this. but, as we are talkin of linux-beginners, the second most
common problem is how to use docus. there should be some help how to use
this helps, too, it is for this kind of usergroup not suficcient to say
read manpage to xyz or look at readme/howto xyz. there should be some
more general hint like debian has it's docu in /usr/doc||/usr/share/doc,
you need an html-browser/pager like abc to read howto/doc at
url.local/url.remote, you should read plain text docu with pager xy
call browser/pager with ... and so on. we must remember, they are doing
first steps in linux and are not familliar with any of these tools. and
probeabely they haven't read any other docu about.
I think the idea of a bug report/debian-user post-checklist is great.
* ) a list of (too) commonly asked questions and answers
I think that a pointer to such a list would be sufficient - provided it
is part of the base system install.
and there is some advise to use it, as i said above.
other linux distributions meanwhile come with some book(let), wich gives a
brief look at common unix commands and tools, which is also present in
every regular book (paper or online) you can find. but regulary books
aren't read. may be we should pick some of the existing books of ldp (or
others) and write some guide around it, (and only extend it therby to the
needs of beginners) wich refers with implicit links to that book where
needed/convenient, instead of doing all once more? this could reduce work a
lot, gets faster results, prevents just a noter guide

problems with distributed-net-pproxy startup script
Package: distributed-net-pproxy
Version: 280-2
Severity: normal
startup script seems to be more confued than i am about it. it starts proxy
as user nobody, with running start-stop-daemon. but, nobody hasn't got
access rights to /var/run/* or /var/log/*. does that make sense? once
startet, it wants to create a pidfile again , wich would overwrite ssd's
pidfile, which wasn't ceated before. once i want to stop this process, it
won't. jut says no such procesee, removes existing pidfile, and that's
it.
i tried to fiddle around with this, but do not realy know what's going on.
any hints? (i looked at manpage for ssd, but it's not enough forme...)

communicator/mailfilter/imapserver
