Re: Kermit: Where is it???
You can always compile it. A while back I did this. As I recall it compiled on the first go. Although to make it 'debian complient' you might want to edit the location of some files. Actually, would the source code distributed with debian have the changes already made to the source? If this is the case you could grab the source for ckermit from hamm and compile it for bo (libc5). -- Stephen Gregory I was almost ready to swear that ckermit was in bo but that seems NOT to be the case. I show ckermit as: debian/hamm/non-free/binary-i386/comm/ckermit_192-5.deb debian/hamm/non-free/binary-m68k/comm/ckermit_192-5.deb So it looks as though it is only available under hamm. best, -bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] from a 1996 Micro$loth ad campaign: The less you know about computers the more you want Micro$oft!

Re: [OFF-TOPIC] Pentium II performance?
SGI workstations aren't that fast cpu wise. Where they run circles around other computers is due to SGI's fantastic graphics and rendering. This dosen't mean that they are slow. I was useing an SGI INDY2 with 180Mhz(hmm, that seems to fast) R5000 mips processor to crack RC5 under the Bovine project.

RE: X Windows
I have been told that X was developed for programmers. When I program I have three windows open. A big one with emacs to edit my source code, a small one to compile and see my errors in, and a third medium sized to test my program and read documentation. I find that the X fonts are much nicer on the eyes then the standard vga fonts. The simple answer is this: install X and find out for yourself. Some people like it, some don't. -- Stephen Gregory Does anyone think X windows is something I should have for my linux system? All I do is program. Would it help me in any way?

re: cable modem (was question)

Re: Linux and ADSL
Do a bit a research before you take the plunge. I almost went with MTT (in nova scotia) and their ADSL service. However, I found out that they are using some nasty proprietary Novell gunk. I went with a cable modem instead. The install was very sweet. Before the tech came I installed and tested an ethernet card. I installed Dhcpcd (?? what ever the client prog is). When the tech came I plugged in the modem to my card and I started /etc/init.d/dhcpcd. 3 seconds later I was surfing the net :-) The tech's comment: Wow, that was easier then a Mac install with built in ethernet. :-) I edited the /etc/init.d/dhcpcd script. I added the option -- eth0 as I have multiple cards. (The -- tells start-stop-daemon that the rest of the line is cmd args to the daemon.) -- Stephen Gregory In my area ( Pacific Bell ) the connection to ADSL is ethernet.

Re: debian learning curve
2) It was also noted that: Newbies also tend to install too much in the initial dselect menu causing a lot of time in conflict resolution. The first time I installed debian I installed way to much. I am hardly a Linux newbie. I found that it was a problem with the individual packages. There are a bunch of packages (in 1.2) that were listed as required but weren't really. There are also some dependecies that bug me. Some of the mime stuff complains if you don't install a newsserver and newsreader. I don't want news on my local machine right now, but I do want mime for email. Now I have not done a clean install of Debian so I don't know if this is still the case. But before Debian 2.0 is released I hope that some of the developers go through a complete install once or twice to insure that the default install is a fairly minimal install. I think it would be far easier for a newbie to run dselect several times to install all the packages they need. Then to run dselect several times to remove all the packages they don't need. For some of us HD space is a premium. -- Stephen Gregory -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Problems with 80386 and 4 MB of RAM
--snip-- boot=/dev/hda3 I can't rember what your exact setup was, but you might want to change this to boot=/dev/hda That is how I have it set. ( I have a dual booting linux + dos/win95 machine) IIRC this will set the boot information for the whole drive (mater boot record). The above line( boot...hda3) will set the boot information on the third partition (partition boot record). You might want to boot to dos and run 'fdisk /mbr' to insure that the changes made by previous instances of lilo are erased.

Re: Hamm upgrade troubles. Help!
Can you say boot disk? For a boot disk I use the Debian install boot disk. From dos you can edit the syslinux.cfg file to mount the correct disk as root. (and you can disable the ramdisk if you need to.) Useing the boot disk will not fix things but you should be able to log on and get a look things. You might even be able to run the filesystem check program (can't remember the name off hand). I have done lots of gnasty things includeing pressing reset mutiple times but I have never had a crash that I could not recover from. (well actually I did delete everything once. I was going to repartition two of my drives to give linux a large disk to work with. I backed up Linux using tar and placed the tar file on an empty dos partition. I then typed something along the lines of: cd /;rm -Rf *. Note how I forgot to unmount the dos drive. ) -- Stephen Gregory of those times, and the machine locked up (that is not the problem). The only solution that I have found to this is to press reset.
