Re: which latest kernel to use ?
Binutils on Sid compiled 2.4.17 fine, might be different for Woody. Peter.

Btw, Debian Woody/Sid users who want to compile recent 2.4 kernels will probably find that they have to downgrade binutils to 2.11.92.0.10-4 to avoid weird build failures. I couldn't build 2.4.17 with the newest binutils. There are some existing bugs on these problems which appear to have been assigned to the kernel-source maintainer (not, as one might expect, the binutils maintainer, though the bugs were originally filed against binutils). This old version of binutils may be obtained from my archive site at http://crdic.ath.cx/debian (use a web browser, not dpkg -- it's not a proper package repository, just a directory with a bunch of packages in it).

For film-source DVDs you want 72Hz or 96Hz refresh so you need a RAMDAC of 82MHz or 110MHz respectively. The other consideration for video cards is that it really must have an implementation of Xvideo for XFree86, hardware color space conversion, hardware scaling, and it must have enough video memory bandwidth to convert/scale at 1024x768/16.

I read somewhere that the time is counted in jiffies where one second is 100 jiffies. With a 32 bit unsigned integer to count with that gives 497 days. This question comes up quite often. IMO someone interested in measuring uptime should beef up the counter with an extra 32 bits so we get a total of 64 bits. Then we could measure uptime in thousands of billions of years.

Re: coexistence with Windows 2000
Just to throw a spanner clean into the works on this issue, I have Windows 2000 pro and linux dual booting here on my machine. I had debian set up, did the 2000 install, and it never even touched the bootloader. Even to the point of when the install was finished, I even had lilo still intact and functioning. Don't ask me why, and a lot of people seem to have problems dual booting these 2, but, for me, it was a very basic process, as I didn't even need a boot disk to get lilo back. Peter Good. Joris Lambrecht wrote: There is no particular order for installing any windows / linux config. BUT ... (taratatata) If you install Linux first and have installed LILO into the MBR (i believe any) windows installation later on will simply clear the MBR so you'll be unable to boot into Linux but you system will default boot into Windows. --- Keep a Boot diskette handy (AND working) at all time to resolve this : remove LiLo and reinstall LiLo With windows 2000 (NT is friendlier) things get more complicated since these versions use their own bootloader and it's a pest. I had to install windows 2000 and configure a third-party bootmanager to be able to still boot into Linux (powerquest to the rescue). Lilo and the win2k bootloader decided to bit each others tails and there was no easy way to solve this (i mean a 30 second solution). I KNOW there are ways to multi-boot win2k and linux easily but it's a mess to set this up since win2k is a bootloader fascist by nature and yes this evolution (hint win98 was quite 'natural'). I guess that if you use the win2k bootloader to boot the linux /boot or / partition (depends on your setup) you'll be happy ever after but i'm not very confident it will be an easy thing to do.

The machines on the external network can see the names of the masq'd network, but can't access them. Anyone know how to? short of getting more ip's or bunging the whole lot on a masq'd connection?

Re: Samba across a highly weird network setup.
Couple of reasons for the world visables. Firstly, I got the ip's with my connection. may as well use them. Secondly it's fun to try and tie the router box, the one controlling the connection down tight enough that they can't get to the external ip boxes. And if you spend a bit of time on irc, or quake, the advantage of having a separate ip for each box works wonders. I do host the odd webpage and my own mail server, but nothing major, and that all runs off the router box. Peter. C. Falconer wrote: God thats one weird network set up. Can I ask why the world visable IPs? I mean - do you host web pages or something? If so then those boxes should be either outside the firewall and not used as workstations, or put them inside the firewall and use port forwarding on the firewall to permit external people to access them. Other than that - you need to decide why it is like it is, and decide what tasks are most important. More IPs would help, but then they'd all be outside the masq firewall and naked and vulnerable.

You need to change /dev/cdrom to point to /dev/scd0 not /dev/hdc That's what i have here /dev/hdc (ide DVDROM) is now /dev/scd0 /dev/hdd (ide Burner) is now /dev/scd1 This is if you've enabled scsi emulation like i have in the kernel Peter. -Original Message- From: Francois Fayard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org debian-user@lists.debian.org Date: Sunday, October 08, 2000 2:16 PM Subject: Re: apt-cdrom add trouble On Sat, Oct 07, 2000 at 09:39:50PM -0400, Antonio Rodriguez wrote: My apt-cdrom add is not working.

You just have to add the modules you need with modconf (modules ide-scsi and scsi-generic-support), and change Lilo. then it couldn't read the cd in hdc, which had been able to so far, since I made the installation from the 3 binaries (intel). I assume something got screwed up when the cd drives were changed to scsi (?), but have no idea how to fix it.

Slow X on a MII 300
Heya's, I've got a machine here with a Cyrix MII 300 processor, SiS 6326 video card, 6.4GB IDE drive, 64mb of ram and Debian 2.2. The thing runs as slow as hell on X, with any window manager. Should there be something i have to look for in XF86Config? I've attached a copy if anyone wants to have a look, quite frankly it has me beat. I used xf86config to generate this file btw, and I've never had this trouble on any other machine of mine, even my p200 with 32mb ram runs faster than this thing does. Thanks in advance.

Re: Is Debian the last OS ?
Being relatively new to Linux (only year and 1/2), my first go at Debian was slink. Recommended to me by a friend (an ISP), it seemed the way to go. I'd just started Uni, and had a brand new laptop, that for the life of me, I couldn't configure X on, so Debian got dumped in favour of Redhat, which I stayed with for about 6 months. Then I managed to get a P200, and I immediately switched back to Debian and have been using it ever since, much easier to use in my opinion.

Slackware has 'netconfig', is there a similar tool in Debian? Also does anyone know how the machine knows it's domain name, not the FQDN, just the domain name. i.e. if hostname returns 'skeletor' where does the 'powinv.co.uk' come from? Is it from resolv.conf via the DNS or is the domain name stored somewhere on the box? Finally is there a script that you can run like the install script to allow you to change the installed network card to a different manufacturer or do you just hack /etc/modules. I am running both 'slink' and 'potato' boxes. I believe the modules config changed from 'slink' to 'potato'. Sorry about such a long post...

Unable to log in via console
Ok, here's an interesting one, Installed potato recently and added KDE into the equation, Start the machine, everything works perfectly, you can log in via kdm etc, su in a console to do superuser etc. Yesterday tho, i decided i wanted to do something in console, pressed ctrl-alt-f1 to drop to a console, and I can't log in. Any suggestions? I can still do everything in KDE, log in, su etc, but just flat out can't log in on console, even as root. Peter Good.
Re: newbie has graphics card problem
Quickest way is to upgrade your xserver. Ron Rademaker wrote: I have a Diamond Viper 770 but Slink (XF86Setup) doesn't have a profile for this. Has anyone been able to get X running on these if so could you drop me a copy of the chip, ramdac and driver used for these. One other problem how do you tell which port your mouse is attached to ie. tty0, tty2 etc. I can't seem to find the right one. Is there a command in bash that can autodetect this ? Thanks in advance. Douglas Hunter I also have the Diamond Viper 770, I couldn't get it to work under Slink either (but there are drivers for NVidia RIVA TNT2 card that you can download from www.nvidia.com, perhaps they work), if you install Potato however and run xf86config it works (at least with me). Just as soon as you get the question if you want to take a look at the cards database answer no, don't select any Clockchip and don't let xf86config probe your clocksetting. That way all X works fine with me. To find out where your mouse is at you could run gpmconfig, that should find it (at least, as long as you don't own a usb mouse... that won't work with any stable kernel, perhaps you can get it to work with a 2.3.xx kernel they should have usb support).

Re: 2 computers, 2 modems, 2 O/S's
All versions of Win98SE can do it, not only those with it preinstalled, Its simply a matter of add/remove programs, Internet tools, and add Internet connection sharing, Very similar to ipmasq in setting up the client machine, and it uses dhcp.

Hi At home my wife and I have two computers (win95 and Debian) and until recently had one modem. Connectng to the internet was simple, it all went through the Debian (potato) box. However, I have acquired at no cost another faster modem, unfortunately it is a WinModem (A US Robotics 56k Voice Win) If it's based on the Lucent chipset (rather than the Rockwell) there's a very remote chance that it'll work with Linux. What I was wondering is there anyone out there that can point me to a piece of Windows (Yes! I know this is the debian mailing list) software that can forward all my outgoing IP connections through the Winmodem (in the Windows machine) in as transparent a manner as possible. I've heard that certain versions of Win98 SE can do it, but only on computers where Win98 SE was pre-installed. I got the winmodem for free, I would like to benefit from having it.

Re: xcdroast
Thats the only way I could get my burner HP7100i to work as well, load both with scsi emulation On Tue, 02 Nov 1999, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hans Gubitz said xcdroast (0.96e) starts with the messages: ERROR at listbox.tcl line 179: bad event type or keysym MouseWheel ERROR at text.tcl line 455: bad event type or keysym MouseWheel In the Setup-menu Defaults has no entries. Thes are two separate issues. The first is because your (probablly) using a Microsoft IntelliMouse - one with the wheel as the third button. This does not appear to affect the functionality of the application. Whats wrong? Are your CD-ROM and CD-Writer devices IDE? If so, have you loaded the SCSI-IDE emulation module? The only way I could get XCDROAST to work on a box at work was to use that module. My CDROM device now shows up in the application's setup screen as an IDE device *and* a SCSI device.

Robert Boyd's Email and Ipfwadm
Be aware all ppl on this list, One of the emails from Robert Boyd in the emails from the last 24 hrs, contained the Happy99 virus. And with regards to Ipfwadm and dcc send on the slave machine, I find it works perfectly now if i connect to port 6667 of the irc server, and no other. I think you can add the ports, ie 7000, 6669, but i haven't looked into it yet
