Re: It still don't work......
Hi Tony, you have to make these links both in /usr/lib *and* in /lib. Do this and have a look at the output of ldconfig afterwards. Hopefully it won't complain any longer and dselect will start working properly, too. Regards, Andree PS: Besides, I ran over a similar problem when upgrading to 1.3.1. But after updating not only libc but also libc-dev the problem went away. -- | Institute of Geophysics phone: +49 40 4123 4389 ANDREE LEIDENFROST | University of Hamburg fax: +49 40 4123 5441 Geophysicist | Bundesstrasse 55 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | D-20146 Hamburgwww: www.app-geoph.dkrz.de -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: It still don't work......
PAI will be sending the 1.3.1 CD Monday. One of my machines is a 386DX40 PAwith 8 mb and a soundblaster 2x cd drive that is flaky under windows. I PAhave a 540 mb IDE drive in it that I use just for testing and I have good PAresults with it installing from my CD or from my network. PAWhat date were the floppy image files that you used? I can't see that this PAwould be a hardware problem if dpkg -i works. Do you have an active swap PApartition? The free command will tell you. The df command will tell you PAabout filesystem space. Ok Paul, Yes I do have an active swap, its 2 meg. The date on the floppy is 5-28-97 (looking at the rescue disk using dos).

IGDate: Sat, 05 Jul 1997 12:27:57 -0400 IGFrom: Igor Grobman [EMAIL PROTECTED] IGdid you type ldconfig (as root) after that? That might be the problem. IGif that doesn't work, try reinstalling dpkg with dpkg -i (it includes dselec IGHTH. Yes I did. I did find dpkg-dev and installed that one using dpkg -i method. Heres what I get now using dselect...

Re: It still don't work......
PAIf that is 2 meg total you need more. If it's 2 meg used, OK. I usually PAcreate a swap partition of 32mb or more. Often I create them at the max PAusable 128mb because I tend to really hammer the system with a lot of PAtasks. PA The date on the floppy is 5-28-97 (looking at the rescue disk using PA dos). PAThat should be correct if they were all created from the same directory. So your saying that I should acutally have a bigger swap... I remember when partitioning the HD I wondered about how much I should use. I don't recall seeing anything that suggested the swap partition size... Ok So its back to start over. Or can I reduce the /usr partition and add that to my swap partition with out effecting anything. Normally on DOS you can't do that...

Responding to the message of Sat, 5 Jul 1997 10:49:36 -0600 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Well here we go again A little background so some of you remember. I installed debain 1.3 (7) times. Have been having trouble getting dselect to install files using the ftp access method. I keep getting this can't map /lib/libc message. Well someone sugested that I type this I don't know much but I will surely try to help you out. First, where did you get the distribution? Is it on CD? Did you FTP it? Having installed Slackware a number of times before I learned of Debian, I know this can be a frustrating experience. Personally, this is my take on the situation: I would ftp the rescue, drivers, and base disks from one of the debian sites... I always use ftp.caldera.com in /pub/mirrors/debian. Having installed Debian three days ago using that method, completely without flaw (except X, but that's a whole new ball of wax), I can only say that I think it should work for you, too. Give it a try, and let us know how it goes!

Re: It still don't work......
to make an 8 meg swap file called swap1 in the current directory: dd if=/dev/zero of=swap1 bs=1024 count=8192 mkswap swap1 8192 sync swapon swap1 But swap files are slower and can potentially cause problems, so swap partitions are prefered. Just make the swap partition large enough that you don't need a swap file for normal use (only experience and a lot of free commands can tell you how big this is). Then only add the swap files when the system under higher than normal load. I think there is a program that adds swap when needed automatically, but this just adds more load to a system, and if I was ever in need of squeezing every bit out of this harddrive, I'd delete the .75 gig mirror I have sitting around :-) HTH, Brandon - Brandon Mitchell E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/7877/home.html We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds. --Linus Torvalds On Sat, 5 Jul 1997 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So your saying that I should acutally have a bigger swap...
