Intel Pro 100S driver
I want to install woody on a IBM xseries 200 server. The integrated nic is a Intel Pro/100 S. I don't see a driver listed for it so I was wondering if there was a generic driver listed on the install cd that would work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I'm new to Debian, and I don't understand the package system, or installing the kernel the 'Debian Way' The computer I'm using does not have Internet access yet either. I can't get the NIC to work. Although I've been told that the newer kernel supports that card. SO, which files do I need to download(kernel image, package, etc) that I can put on a CD and copy to the Debian machine. And then what do I do with those files? Thanks for the help on my previous questions, and thanks for the help with this one... You have everything you need if you have the first install cd. While you could d/l the 2.4.x kernel pkg, compile it and install it, I think that reinstalling with the 2.4.18 kernel would be easier for you. Just boot to the cd and at the prompt type bf24 without the quotes and that will start the 2.4 kernel install. As for your NIC, what brand is it? hth Jay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
kernel compile problem
I was going to re-compile my kernel today to get rid of some of the things I don't need but when I got to the network card driver modules, mine was greyed out (Realtec 8139). This is on the 2.2.19pre17 kernel. I then went to the 2.2.19 kernel which offered two drivers (rtl8139 and 8139too), but again both were greyed out. What do I need to activate in an earlier screen to make these drivers available to me. Networking support is activated as is module support. Both kernels came from debian. I haven't tried one from www.kernel.org yet. Also which one of these kernels is the latest version? I'm not at my debian workstation or I would look at the readme.

Sendmail newbie question
I have three computers in my home. I use one as a router to masq the other two to the internet. I would also like to use this one as the mail hub. There is only one user for the three boxes. What I would like to do is to be able to read my mail from any box but still save it on the hub. So that if I want to refer to a saved msg from a different box I can get to it. The router is running debian 2.2r3 using fetchmail-sendmail-procmail-mutt to deal with mail. The way it is currently set up I have to read and send all mail from this box. The other 2 boxes are using progeny-debian. I went this route primarily because of the ease of X configuration with progeny. They also have the same mail pkgs installed. So, my question is, how can I set the network up to be able to send/read mail from any box but store all mail on the hub? Thanks, Jay Latham Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy!

On the other machines, tell them to send all local mail to the mail hub for delivery and to use it as a smart host also. A quick example is in order, me thinks. I have three Linux machines here along with various flavors of Windows. hurricane is the (internal) mail server (i.e. no direct Internet connection). The two other Linux machines, kerberos and earthquake are set to send all local mail to hurricane, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ grep ^DH /etc/mail/sendmail.cf DHhurricane.home.lan The three Linux machines pass off any mail to hurricane, where it is stored. hurricane uses kerberos as a smart host, since it's the only machine directly connected to the Internet, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ grep ^DS /etc/mail/sendmail.cf DSkerberos.home.lan kerberos then uses my ISP's mail server as it's smart host, and lets it deal with the task of getting the mail to its final destination, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ grep ^DS /etc/mail/sendmail.cf DSmoseisley.blueriver.net To illustrate this a bit, all my e-mail is stored on my ISP's mail server. When I dialup (on kerberos, the machine with the modem), fetchmail is started and grabs my mail roughly every 300 seconds. fetchmail hands it off to sendmail on kerberos which has been told to send all local e-mail to hurricane for delivery. kerberos then contacts hurricane and gives it the message, which is then passed to procmail which filters it and puts it into its appropriate place under /home/jeremy/Mail/. When I'm done typing this message and hit Send, the machine I'm sitting at tremor will send it to hurricane (my internal mail server, remember?) which will see that it's a non-local email and pass it off to kerberos, who in turn, will give it to my ISP. (Take a look at the mail headers.) See, easy? :) Easy if you know what your doing ;-) Thanks for replying Jeremy, but I'm still confused. You've told me what I need to do but not how to do it. At least not in a way that a complete newbie can understand. I tried to set this up the way you described it (I think) using Outlook but I keep getting a message saying it can't find the host mybox.mydomain.org. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to set up the server to send the mail to the client. Or allow the client to access the mail on the server. Again thanks for the help and please forgive the lack of knowledge on my part. I've tried reading the files in sendmail-doc and man pages but I just became even more confused. It seems to me that those help files are written for ppl who already know what they are doing. Are there any Newbie help files available? -- Jay Latham Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy! Benjamin Franklin
Sound Card Woes
Some history on the card. The card is a SB Live value edition that originally came in a Gateway 2000 computer that I bought 2 years ago. I have since turned this box into my server/router running Debian. But before I did that I had installed a number of distros on it (RedHat, Suse, Mandrake...) and could never get this card to work in any of them. It always worked great in windows. When I built my current workstation, (asus K7V mb athlon800 voodoo3 384mb RAM) I moved the card to it. Again, it works great in windows but I still can't get it to work in Debian or any other distro for that matter. The module loads without errors, sndconfig detects the correct card, basically everything that is supposed to happen happens except there is no sound. I'm beginning to wonder if this is one of those crippled cards that some manufacturers supply to computer venders at a discount price. Could they have turned this into a win only card? Any ideas welcome - Jay Latham
Dial in to dsl server
OK here's the specs. I have an account with telocity dsl with static ip. My server is running potato. I have another box duel booting mandrake 8.0 and win. My laptop is duel booting progeny and win. Unlike another dsl (bellsouth) telocity does not offer a dial in service for when your on the road, so my question is this: Is it possible to set up either the server or the win box to accept dial-up log-in from my laptop and then access the internet through my telocity account? -- Jay Latham Linux newbie extradinare.

Perl upgrade
Is it possible to upgrade my stock potato version of perl to the 5.6 version supplied in woody without completely crashing my system. The reason I ask is, I tried this with sendmail and had a hell of time getting my e-mail back even after I went back to the potato version. The only good thing that came out of that was that I'm now fairly proficient in setting up email using sendmail, procmail, fetchmail, and Mutt. ;-) Thanks, -- Jay Latham Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy!

(OT) Perl books
I hope I don't get flamed for asking this on this list but here goes. I've decided that it's time I learned a little about programming and I've decided that, for various reasons, Perl would be a good place to start. But I'm confused on which book would be best for a total newbie. I've been leaning towards the oreilly books Learning Perl 3rd edition, and/or Programming Perl but thought I'd ask for opinons before making the purchase. Any suggestions? -- Jay Latham Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy! Benjamin Franklin
