Debian should just install ntp, not ntpdate, rdate, etc.

2008-12-16 Thread jidanni
Debian should just install the (genuine flagship mainline supported) ntp package. $ w3m -dump /usr/share/doc/ntp-doc/html/ntpdate.html Disclaimer: The functionality of this program is now available in the ntpd program. See the -q command line option in the ntpd - Network Time Protocol (NTP)

know wget URL, need git-clone URL

2008-11-26 Thread jidanni
I wish the git beginner documentation would tell one how to translate e.g., http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.gita=blob_plainf=install.sh which is good for wget, to the URL one needs for git-clone to get the same file. ___ Smartphones-userland

Now trying with version qi-s3c2442-andy_8b773038524299aa.udfu . My HDSC card partition 2 is still ext2, though partition 1 is ext3. Partition 2 has /, and mounts partition 1 at /boot, as http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/freerunner/install.sh made. But of course now this will look like /boot/boot

In http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#Power_it_up we see # echo 1 /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on The problem is that once you do that, there is no way to power it back down, until perhaps reboot. # f=/sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-bt.0/power_on #

OK, reading Subject: kernel-package does not install on fat I see http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fso-maint/2008-October/000204.html I'll fix it with the next kernel image, which will be milestone3. So I will look for milestone3 announcements. Thanks.
