Where is the FTP site for Sarge, please?
Dear friends: After much consideration, I've decided to go with Sarge and add the apt-get.org and backports.org sources to /etc/apt/sources.list This seems to me the wisest course of action. I will have the benefit of Debian's reputation for perfection and reliability plus updates of my favorite applications as needed through apt-get.org and backports.org. I assume that I will be able to do this more or less seemlessly since these updated packages will be specifically custom made for Sarge and only Sarge. My only problem is downloading the CD image. I've tried for the past four hours with Bittorrent. The download has finally ended with "Done" but I can't find it anywhere on my system. I did a search in Windows on ".iso". This brought up my existing iso images but nothing for Debian. So, I am willing to download the CD image by FTP. But I have tried several times to find the iso image and have failed. I tried ftp.debian.org and cdimages.debian.org and I just can't find the iso image. My SmartFTP client has resume and a progress bar for these things. Once I get the address I should have no problem. Would really appreciate your help. And please be precise. Thank you so much. Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FTP site for educational software on Linux
Here is a piece of information that could be of interest to some Debian users and developers. It has not been widely advertised and may thus have remained unnoticed until now. A project entitled "Compil'Edux" has been started around October 1999 in Grenoble University by a group of people from the (rather big) local LUG. Here is a copy of the Freshmeat announcement: > The goal of Compil'Edux is to provide a centralized place where open > source educational software can be found, either in the form of links > to other sites, or as an FTP site containing source tarballs. The > initiative started at Grenoble University in October 1999 and is still > at its early stage. However, the site already contains more than 100 > links and packages.

A number of these packages are not yet in the Debian distribution, or when they are, the Compil'Edux packages might be in a more "polished" form than those present in the current Debian distribution (the site makes clear which are those packages). Debian might possibly consider them for inclusion in future releases. Also, there is currently a French government initiative in cooperation with a few commercial Linux distributors (RedHat-France, Mandrake, SuSE) to produce pre-compiled CD-Roms for French educational institutions, and that initiative is partly based on the work made by the Compil'Edux team. Demo CD-Roms combining this with R.Di Cosmo's DemoLinux distribution should be available in the next months. (Essentially nothing of this is French specific, though).

I think you might have missed the installation guide in
debian/dists/slink/main/disks-m68k/current/mac/install.txt which
tells you which files you need to get started, viz.
* mac/install.sit.hqx (StuffIt archive of the installation files),
or
* mac/Debian-m68k-2.1-Mac.img.hqx (DiskCopy 4.2 image of the 'rescue'
floppy), and
* mac/resc1440.bin ('rescue' floppy image)
* mac/drv1440.bin ('drivers' floppy image)
* common/base2_1.tgz
base is in the common/ directory because all the other m68k machines
use it too.

If you look in common/, you will see that people who are installing
from floppies have to download 7 (or 13) more floppies. Were the
man pages included, this number would increase dramatically.
The installation uses a bootstrap principle, where the first
rescue disk contains enough to run a linux system on a file system
in memory, which builds the small linux system on disk, which can
then download the packages (by ftp, CD etc.) you need to build the
type of system you want.
The multiple pages, or directories, are designed to keep the huge
number of package files organised into manageably-sized directories,
by distributions, licence categories, chip architectures, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by the X windows page or the "Debian" package
or the X folder. The X packages are in
debian/dists/slink/main/binary-m68k/x11/ but using dselect (which the
installation process automatically starts) avoids your having to type
all that.

If the installation dialogues are the same for macs as x86, you
will be asked for a machine "profile" just before entering dselect,
though it's not obligatory to choose one.

See above. What appears to be a "corner" is "the right place" for
dselect to find it, according to your chosen distribution, architecture,
etc.

The "labelling" is via the Packages files which are designed for
programs like dselect to read and present to the user.

So the intention is not that you peruse the directories (though you can
do that if you're familiar with them), but to get the disks-m68k files
you need, and then use the tools as they present themselves.
Good luck.

help with ftp site please
I am trying to download a basic package for the 68K Mac from the Debian ftp site and could use some help please. Files seem to be spread all over with no rhyme or reason. As a result I can't be sure what I need or where to find it (and I've installed Debian once before and BSD once too). There seems to be a basic package that is not clearly labeled as such (just "Debian") and is, to my way of thinking, way too small to be a full basic install. (About 14 megs stuffed, including the Base2.1gz file which of course was somewhere else on the ftp site. WHY?WHY?WHY?). The minimalist information on the web site also seems to suggest very strongly that there are no man pages included with the above "package", but that the man pages must be downloaded separately, also difficult to make sense of, from a separate page. The packages page took me a couple of hours to find at all, then when I did, it made little sense. I opened the X windows page and found everything in there EXCEPT X windows!!! Unless the Debian folks have performed a Guiness class miracle in compact software design, Xwindows is certainly not contained in the "Debian" package, it also isn't in the X folder of the ftp site, so can anyone give me a clue as to where it might be?

He shouldn't need to do that. Desktop workstations rarely need bind. Most
likely he needs to fix his /etc/hosts. Put your nameservers ("DNS

Installing Sybase server from RH ftp site
Yesterday on http://www.redhat.com/ they were offering a free download of RPM package of the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise and of its docs. You are asked to register but can access the ftp site directly (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/sybase/) if you prefer not to do that. Has anyone tried to install these on a Debian system either with rpm or with alien calling rpm? Since it will be a big install and I need to clean up the root partition to do it, I would appreciate hearing if others have been successful with these. Please respond to me as well as to the list. I usually don't have time to read the entire mail list and would prefer not to miss a response.

Anonymous ftp (i.e. you respond "anonymous" when asked for user name) DOES typically ask for a password, but entering any syntactically correct email address at this point is usually sufficient (though some sites may check that this matches what they know you are connecting from). Some sites may have their anonymous ftp configured so as not to require a password, but these are exceptional. Of course if you give anything other than "anonymous" as username, then you will only get in if (a) the username you give exists as an account on the remote machine, (b) the password that you give is the correct password for that account, (c) the remote site is configured to allow ftp access from your local machine But it is quite normal for ftp to ask for a password!

If your ISP can't or won't fix it your only salvation is to get a new ISP. That is what I had to do. In the meantime, there is a good mirror at llug.sep.bnl.gov, which does not do a reverse-dns-lookup (or at least didn't a couple of months ago before I changes ISPs). Bob -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D.

I am not alone with this : problem, there are many people that use dial-up connections experiencing : the same thing. : : -Matt Call your ISP and tell them to fix their inverse mapping. This is what happens: You connect to a server. That server has your IP address (from the packets) so in does a reverse lookup. If your IP was, for example, 208.150.221.24, that would resolve to "pc-24.pix-pool1.midco.net" (reverse lookups are where the "in-addr.arpa" domains come into play. All ISPs should know how to do this. Some don't) However, the server is a bit paranoid, as it should be, so it attempts to resolve the name it just received and see if that resolves back to the IP. "pc-24.pix-pool1.midco.net" does indeed resolve to 208.150.221.24. However, if you had connected from 208.146.80.88 (which is impossible, btw - hence the current DNS mappings :) a reverse lookup would yield "nobody.midco.net". However, "nobody.midco.net" does not resolve! The server would note this and refuse service. However, in the case of a dialup ISP, all dialup lines should have successful forward and reverse resolution.

Integrating main, "non-us" ftp site
If I attempt to do a dselect install via ftp from a local mirror which has both the main debian distribution as well as the "non-US" stuff, it doesn't work. Not without jumping through some serious hoops, at any rate. The problem is that the Packages file on the non-US site do not follow the same conventions as the packages file on the main ftp site. For bo, the "main" Packages file contains entries like "Filename: stable/binary-i386/x11/9fonts_1-4.deb" ^^ "Filename: bo/binary-i386/bzip_0.21-3.deb" ^^ For hamm, the "main" Packages file contains entries like "Filename: dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/text/2utf_1.01.deb", ^^^ but the non-US site's Packages file contains entries like "Filename: hamm/binary-i386/apache-ssl_1.2.4+1.11-2.deb" I understand (I think) why this is the way it is, but it makes it impossible to use a symlink to get at the non-US stuff via ftp (using dselect). I don't have any great ideas for the bo links, but if the non-US site kept its files in "dists/unstable/non-us" life would be a lot easier. Any chance there will be a solution forthcoming, or do I need to shut up and hack the Packages files on my mirror? (Easy to do but mirror will be pissed). If no one else has any interest in doing anything like this then it's not worth implementing, I suppose. -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 phone: (605) 334-4454 fax: (605) 335-1173 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net PGP Key ID: 0xA33B86E9 - Public key available at keyservers PGP Key fingerprint: CE03 10AF 3281 1858 9D32 C2AB 936D C472 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Misconfigured ftp site?
Didn't know where to report this, so here I am. I tried to use dselect to download and install pgp from os.inf.tu-dresden.de. Everything went fine; I could download the list of packages and selected both pgp-i and pgp-us (I also tried just selecting pgp-i, with the same results). When I gave it the option to install the selected packages, this is what happened: Constructing list of files to get... want: debian-non-US/stable/binary-i386/pgp-us_2.6.3a-1.deb (269k) want: debian-non-US/stable/binary-i386/pgp-i_2.6.3a-1.deb (271k) Approximate total space required: 540k Available space in debian: 147244k Do you want to select the files to get [n]: Do you want to download the required files [y]: Downloading files... use ^C to stop Connecting to os.inf.tu-dresden.de...

Then I do: - dselect upgrade - from ftp.debian - dselect install - from local mirror or from another Now I have many configurations files in /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp: vars.ftp.debian.org vars.sunsite.icm.edu.pl vars.ftp.funet.fi and vars.dresden.nousa. When I want work with some debian site, I make link: ln -sf vars.dresden.nousa vars in this directory. First three configs are for standard distributions, but vars.dresden.nousa is for international packages. I have in vars.dresden.nousa settings: $ftpsite='os.inf.tu-dresden.de'; $passive='1'; $username='anonymous'; $password='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $ftpdir='/pub'; $distribs='debian-non-US'; $dldir='debian'; I haven't any problems with this config.

Non-US Debian FTP Site?
I wanted to install PGP on my system so I searched out ftp://os.inf.tu-dresden.de This site has US and international versions of PGP, as well as some other neat crypto-stuff (encrypted filesystem, a mail client, etc.). I tried to point dselect at it though, and couldn't get it to work. It doesn't share the same directory structure as, say, ftp.debian.org. Specifically, it doesn't have (stable|non-free|contrib) directories. I tried using a '.' for the distributions to get and this worked to get the Packages file, but when I tried to install a package it couldn't find it on the site. The solution was easy: I just downloaded it myself and ran dpkg on it, but I was wondering if this site was supported, and whether it's supposed to work with dselect? It looks like it's _almost_ there, so I suspect that I just don't know enough about dselect to get it to work properly. Any comments?

There are lots of books on Linux now, that can provide a good overview for a newbie. I found 16 of them when I searched: http://www.bookpool.com The Linux Journal (also available in print form) provides a table of contents and some articles online at: http://www.ssc.com/lj/index.html The Linux Gazette is 100% available electronically at: http://www.ssc.com/lg/lg_frontpage.html The Debian project has an FAQ at: http://www.debian.org/FAQ/. To find out about specific packages, you might try the Linux Software Map at: http://www.boutell.com/lsm/ (I suppose I should add that I have no commercial interest in any of the above organizations -- but I wish I did!)
