Installing Potato CD's
Hi All, I've got the Test Cycle 2 CD's but when I get to the step of "Install the Base System" it seems to get stuck in going back to that same step. It asks me for a path and I choose the default of "/instmnt" it goes out and finds the archive. Then it returns to the same choice. Help? TIA -- Greg.

One quick way is if you have a primary system, lets say potato, set the other one to NOT delete messages on the server. Most mail clients let you configure that somewhere near creating a mail server connection. It is usually on a per server basiss. HTH -- Greg.

Re: Debian DSELECT
You going to hear that most of the things you've suggested are being address or 'in the works.' The reason for this is that Debian & Linux are from the Unix background. 1) Supported by volunteers. The volunteers are usually building stuff they find useful and donate it back to the public. 2) These volunteers have been in a highly technical environment. You'll see solutions there first. Unix was used for 'big' machines. Now that it is being used more on a desktop level, you'll see more 'hold your hand' or 'management' type software come available. First priority is a solid secure machine. Many Linux boxes are servers or otherwise publicly available machines. Joris Lambrecht wrote: > > 1.

In my experiance Debian is far superior to anything Micro$oft has put out. We had version checking long before they did. On any Win32 platform, try installing ODBC 16-bit and 32-bit then install Access 2.0 and 7.0(97) now add drivers for Oracle & Sybase (Why? try supporting several platforms as a dev in M$-land.) Try installing two different versions of VB on that system. > Geez, sometimes i start thinking of winDOWs as a better platform just > because one can up a system > doing simple installation procedures. HELP i'm no Sure, I've seen many people loose stuff installing on a M$ machine too. If you really want help, ask the question. If all you want to do is rant, you'll probably get very few responses. We didn't force you to use this OS. (We're not getting compensated for helping either). BTW, don't even think about mentioning upgrades from Win95 to Win98.

If you want one, you've got to pay for it. Now if you want a text editor, Debian comes with several. Infact, we have spelling checkers for several languages. Do they? If you want suite software, you have a choice of at least three for Linux.

Re: PON on REQUEST
Me too. What I considered is using CallerID(ANI). However, if you call from inside a PBX, anybody calling the house could do it. If you've got a cell phone, this could work. I've also got ISDN, therefore, I get DNIS (which line was being called). Using the 'unlisted' nubmer would also give a level of selectivity. ANI and DNIS are sent before the call is answered...

RE: Internal ISDN
Are you saying that any ISDN device will work as a modem just not a {Efficient
| Fast} as it should?
Is it missing the dynamic badwidth and other features?
Has anyone used the Diamond SupraNetCommander ISDN? It appears to be one of
the cheeper ones that might work with Linux.

Internal ISDN
I just got to the part of the mini HOWTO "PPP-over-ISDN" and it says that there are few if any _internal_ ISDN devices that are able to be used by Linux.

I've found in the M$ world that scores on a multiple-guess test that has been heavly coached is a _poor_ indicator real-world results. It seems that the portfolio of recient projects usually out-weighs the certification. Its the same reason that fresh grads have fewing fun options. Most advertisments are looking for experiance and really want results. However, maybe the commercial software world should consider a POSIX certification instead. The reasoning I'd provide for this instead of more specific is that those specifics are fairly easly found by individuals with enough initiative to RTFM (my def: Read The _Fine_ Manual).

It might be nice to have some notice on the install disks ie a script called vi that directs you to ae. This could be removed by the package containing vi. Maybe I've missed that _war_ too.

The minimum Linux requirement is a 386. If you have some kind of upgrade chip/package to allow the XT to use a 386, then yes. Else, no. I believe one reason is its a 32-bit "PROTECTED" mode OS. I don't believe that the 286 chip has that feature available. Debian is just an install tool for getting Linux and applications installed and configured. (Of course we'll all tell you its great.)

But the $2 charge gives us control over the use of the term "Official Debian." This control is needed. Witness the historical reason for a lack of 1.0 version. This control then can give the assuance needed to the management types. Management doesn't want to dive into the "Bleeding Edge" of Linux and this would ensure a 'tested' version with the Debian organization's blessing. Everything else appears as a work in progress. As long as its also available free on the net. The $2 plus fluff is only the suit. The full brains & brawn of Debian are still available to the public without distribution charges. I'm not currently on a consulting assignment where this is necessary but some sites have gone with a commercial distribution and then wondered if they should have used Linux at all. Obviously, they were even more skeptical about 'giving Debian a try.' -- Greg. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
