AW: low memory installation 4mb 386sx
Hi, I guess you need at least more than 8MB for Debian >2.0. Maybe you could try 2.0. Also as far as I know is an odd version (ie 2.1) unstable. I did it 2 years ago with lowmem.bin (Minix) to install Debian 2.0. per floppydisk installation method (486/25/4/90). I had to trick a lot - finally I had success with: * make 4 partitions: - native linux (66MB) - linux swap (8MB) - 2nd native linux for Minix (8MB) - 2nd linux swap partition (8MB) * start lowmem (Minix) and specify 2ndSwap as swap * install debian 2.0 (defining first native linux and first native swap) * repartition last small partitions to a (useful) DOS drive Hope this helps Dieter > Von: Rick Dawson [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > 386SX-25 > 4mb ram > I have Debian 2.1 (2_1_11.1-1) on cd.

Setting Port and Baud_Rate/Base
Hi, connecting my HP48gx to my PC works fine with DO$ (kermit). All I have to do is "set port 1" and "set baud 9600". "Receive" receives all files I send from my HP. Unfortunately this procedure doesn't work so simple from linux (or I'm to dumb) - using gkermit (or lrzsz). Gkermit doesn't support "portsetting and baudsetting". I assume this has to be done from the linux command line (with setserial). * How do I set the port (/dev/ttyS0) and the speed (9600)? * How can I tell gkermit to use this serial port? TIA Dieter
Gkermit/Baudrate (WAS: Connecting to a HP48gx)
Thanks for all hints - gkermit seems to be suitable. Unfortunately the Linux-box and the HP don't seem to 'understand' each other - this could be a different baudrate. * How can I change the baudrate of gkermit (or Debian?) to 9600 baud (= HP48-rate)? * How can I change other parameters (ie CRC, parity xlat)?

Connecting to a HP48gx
Hi! Does anyone have an idea (or a source) how to connect a LinuxBox to a HP48gx calculator in a simple (maybe with modemu, pppd, minicom), slim (C-Kermit is too big) and foolproof (I am not a 'Connection-Specialist') way. The HP48 supports Kermit or Xmodem and a so called 'Server Mode' - it works fine with Window$ and DO$ (Cable-Connectivity-Kit). TIA and greetings Dieter

Hi - thanks for all comments and hints * I heard of Emacs in ascii-art mode, but I don't want/use Emacs (nano is my favorite editor) * As I am a new (textbased) user of Linux (and don't have the knowledge of dman, Karsten & Co.) I am not familiar with programming, libraries, converters - I can handle .deb-packages or binaries only (sorry for my DOS-orientation) * To give you a feeling what kind of utility I am searching for I can send you the DOS-program 'textdraw' (I don't want to post it to the whole list) Greetings Dieter
Need Help to Program Text Draw Utility
Hi all! I searched the web and asked in some lists. But it seems that there is no Linux-utility to draw simple ascii-figures (lines, text, rectangles, circles) with cut/copy/paste-capacity in textmode. Such a program would perfect my 'Textbased-M$-Office-on-a-Linuxbox-World' to easily draw (more or less) simple ascii-pictures for presentations and sketches. But I am neither firm in programming C/C++ on Debian-Linux nor able to organize a programming project efficiently. * Is there any programmer interested to program such an utility? All I can contribute is a vision and a Turbo-Pascal-DOS-Program I wrote years before. Thanks Dieter
Text Draw Utility
Hi all! I wonder, if there is a simple Ascii-Text-Draw-Utility for drawing (more or less) simple ascii-pictures. As improvement to an editor it should support drawing rectangles, circles, lines and text *with* cut/copy/paste-capacity. Years before (my linux-times) I wrote a small (10k) utility for DOS (with Turbo-Pascal) called textdraw. Can you recommend anything similar? Thanks Dieter

mutt/ssmtp From:
Hi! I'm running ssmtp (MTA) and mutt (MUA) which works fine for a 'single user dial up'. Unfortunately the one who receives mail from me is seeing in the 'From:-line' my <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and not a 'replyable' email address like <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (which is 'reserved' for/at my ISP. Dealing with an explicit From:-line (ESC+f) or the my_hdr-statement (.muttrc) shows again <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at the receiver or gives me following messages: * Error sending message, child exited1 (). * ssmtp: didn't get initial OK message from smtp server. Does the ISP refuse 'his reserved' email address? What can I do/try? Thanks for any help. Dieter

fetchmail, mutt, masqmail
This sounds smart, small and fast - since Heather told me to use a lot of customized fetchmail-scripts.

As MUA I use mutt. 1k-thanks Dieter > Hi all, > > Get rid of fetchmail and use masqmail to fetch your mails as well as to > que and deliver them.

fetchmail, mutt, masqmail
Hi, due to your hints to a similar question (thanks) two weeks ago I am now able to send myself (root) a mail - but fetching mails form my ISP does not work. I am using fetchmail, mutt as MUA and finally as MTA (I tried many) masqmail. My data: * hostname: boneless * local mailaddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * command: fetchmail -v -S boneless * error message after "... reading message 1 of 2 (25915 octets)": - SMTP connect to boneless failed - This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand. Due to a similar problem in another mailing-list the answer should be "the MTA is not listening while fetchmail tries to contact it" - but masqmail is running (and hopefully listening) on my PC. Thanks in advance for any help Dieter
