Hi, I installed Debian with kernel 2.6.18-4 on my PC, but I could not find linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-4_i386.deb, I can only find a linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-7_i386.deb which caused error when I install it.Where can I find linux-kernel-headers_2.6.18-4_i386.deb? Thank you. Kind Regards, Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: source code installation
Thanks Florian and Andrei. The installation of OpenOffice works indeed after installing the second CD. With aptitude you can do searches like this: aptitude search '~i(~sgames|~Ggame)' This will list all installed (~i) packages which belong to the games section (~sgames) or (|) which have the string game in one of their debtags (~Ggame). You can uninstall all these packages with one fell blow by replacing search with remove in the command above. If you want to have a bit more control over what is going on then you can use aptitude in interactive mode, look at Installed Packages games and decide yourself which ones you want to remove. I've also tried to run aptitude search '~i(~sgames|~Ggame)' and got following list: i A gnome-about - The GNOME about box i A gnome-applets - Various applets for GNOME 2 panel - binary i A gnome-games - games for the GNOME desktop i A gnome-games-data- data files for the GNOME games i A wodim - command line CD/DVD writing tool i A xbase-clients - miscellaneous X clients I guess the next command I should run to remove all games are following. Are they correct? aptitude purge $(gnome-about) aptitude purge $(gnome-applets) aptitude purge $(gnome-games) aptitude purge $(gnome-games-data) aptitude purge $(wodim) aptitude purge $(xbase-clients) Thank you.

Re: change partitions
Douglas A. Tutty wrote: The 'partitions' are only numbers in a table that OS's refer to to see what block starts the next partition and where it ends. I'm assuming that your problem with the partition is actually with the filesystem on that partition. With it unmounted, run e2fsck -cc on it. The -cc means that a non-distructive read/write badblocks test will run on it. With modern drives you should not actually find any bad blocks unless the drive is at end-of-life and has used up its remapping space. However, if it completes fine you'll know that writing beyond the 70% range worked for the drive. Which partition has the problem? hda8 (12 G), it does not have any OS installed to it. It is an independent partition with /work on it. Also, I have only one window OS, but I don't k now why both hda1 and hda2 are for window partitions, can I delete both of them? I haven't run an MS product since windows 3.1 so I don't know. But since you don't need windows and you know that neither partition is needed, you should be able to remove them. This may end up changing the numbering of the extended partition from hda3 to either 1 or 2. However, the partitions in it should still start at hda5. Please see following partition information and the debian boot is in Master section. sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 32.0 GB, 32003112960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3890 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 255 20482567 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 2561275 8193150b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda31276389021004987+ 5 Extended /dev/hda512761504 1839411 83 Linux /dev/hda622962298 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda722992364 530113+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda82365389012257563+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 *15051863 2883636 83 Linux /dev/hda10 18642295 3470008+ 83 Linux Since hda3 goes from cylinder 1276 to 3890 yet hda10 ends at 2295, there should also be some free space at the end. Good luck, Doug. How can I use fdisk or other partition tools to display free space? What command should I call to remove window partition and to re-partition to ext3? Are following correct? fdisk -s /dev/hda1 ? fdisk -s /dev/hda2 ? Thank you. Jim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

change partitions
Hi, I installed Debian on a machine with several other pations (window, RH9.1, etc). During the installation, it indicated one of my linux partition had some problems (it is formated by ext3, but can only write to the disk with used space only higher than 70%). Now I am going to fix that partition before I am going to mount it to Debian. Also, I am no longer need to use MS window and I am going to remove all window partitions. I know it is risk operation and I need to take advice here before I delete or alter the partitions. Should I use fdisk to remove the window partition or if there is a better partition tool I can use in Debian? Can I remove the window partition from Linux? Is there a partition tool in Debian which can detect the ext3 partition problem and to fix it without re-format or re-partition? Also, I have only one window OS, but I don't k now why both hda1 and hda2 are for window partitions, can I delete both of them? Please see following partition information and the debian boot is in Master section. sudo fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 32.0 GB, 32003112960 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3890 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 255 20482567 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 2561275 8193150b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda31276389021004987+ 5 Extended /dev/hda512761504 1839411 83 Linux /dev/hda622962298 24066 83 Linux /dev/hda722992364 530113+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda82365389012257563+ 83 Linux /dev/hda9 *15051863 2883636 83 Linux /dev/hda10 18642295 3470008+ 83 Linux Thank you.

source code installation
Hi, I've installed Debian 4.0 from a CD, just found that the installation does not let me to select applications. Mow I have to install an application from the CD (I don't have a network connection, a win modem has not worked yet ...) 1. Which openoffice in the CD I should install? Is the command like: apt-get install openoffice from /mnt/cdrom/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org? 2. I need to install some lib source code to build win modem code Now I have to remove all games (as I've got limited space), how can I do it? 3. Due to limited space, I need to remove some packages I don't need such as games, how do I know which package I installed are for games? Thank you.
