setenv

1996-11-18 Thread Joe Feenin
 Can someone kindly point me in the right direction
 to solve a niggling problem, 
 When I do a `su' command bash comes up with
 an error message,
  
 bash: setenv : command not found

the setenv command is built into the csh shell to set environment
variables, in bash the corresponding command is export.  I do not have such
a problem running the su command on my system is su linked to some sort of
script on your system?

No CD Now what?

1996-11-18 Thread Joe Feenin
OK so I installed (or tried to install) Debian 1.1.4 from the CD set I
picked up at the computer show today.  One problem and it's a HUGE one.  It
doesn't see my CDROM.  No matter what I try, no dice.  Why is this?  I have
a Sony CDU-33a which should use the cdu31a driver and it works as such in
all other installations, including Redhat, Caldera, and Slakware but Debian
refuses to initialize it.  At the boot prompt I included (as instructed)
the proper parameters as my drive is addressed at 0x320 not the default
0x340.  The command I included at the prompt was linux cdu31a=0x320,0 and
when installing the driver module after you click install it asks for
parameters and I also tried the following parameters there:
cdu31a=0x320,0, 0x320,0, 0x320 you name it I tried it nothing worked.
 It continually returned something like 'cdu31a' symbol not found or
nothing then said installation failed.  How can I get his thing installed? 
I do not have enough HD to try it from there.  I tried to install Slakware
96 and as I heard it's buggy, Xprobeonly won't even work and therefor no X.
 Someone please help!

kernel version

1996-11-17 Thread Joe Feenin
Hello,
   I have been told that the Debian distribution is based on the 2.x kernel
version.  Is this true?  If so if I buy a recent release of a CDROM set say
Informagics will it include this release?  I desparately need an actual
distribution based on the 2.x kernel versions, Ive been told Debian is it. 
Perhaps you all could tell me if I heard correctly.
