Installing problems on X22
Hi, I've just tried to install Debian onto my X22 laptop. I booted the CD but the kernel hangs on "md driver...". Does anyone know how to get around this? I could install RH72 which LinuxCare say installs fine, but I'd rather stick with Debian. Thanks for any help, Ross -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

alt-get update via ADSL from command line?
Gee, Linux has a way to make me feel real dumb ... I am stuck at the command line due to an X conflict. I need to run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade for Debian Unstable to see if that resolves things on my OmniBook 4100. (Or should I grab a newer version of Linux instead?) Can someone suggest what generic Linux utility included with 2.4.14 and/or Debian Unstable will cause my laptop to recognize the Verizon-Westell ADSL modem?

If that's the case, you might try the command-line web browsers "links" or "lynx." apt-get install should get you either one. I think "links" is a little more flexible.

Installing programs from a none-debian CD or from the Harddisk
Hello Debian runners!
I hav some problems installing programs to my
Debian 2.2r4. (Accept the ones on the 3 installation CDs, which -as the only
method succeded for me. But the programs I want are not there!). I have tried
EVERYTHING I can think of, but nothing seems to work. (I even have used a "APT
HOWTO" by some N. Silva, and some FAQ about it). Perhaps some of you know whats
wrong. Here is what I did:
1. -I made the directory "debs" in root/, and
copied every .deb file into it.
-Then I (with touch) made a
override file, simply naming it "override". (and with nothing in it, the HOWTO
said this should be OK)
-Then i tipped:
dpkg-scanpackages debs override | gzip > debs/packages.gz
-So far so well, the machine
gave me the right number of files being read, so I suppose it did what its
supposed to. In the sources.list I added: deb file:/root debs/ And I commented
out the installation CDs path. Ï even tried with, and tried without the
"debs" in the beginning. No matter, everything gave:
- Then I tipped: apt-get update.
And it did not and did not help! (I have tired many times, reading this HOWTO
over and over again. It just wont work.
2. Second method: I tried the apt-cdrom add
command. (I have to download everythinh through an outbound connection because
my is far to slow, then save it on a CD). This wont do, it tells me "this is no
Debian CD". (This was with dselect). By the way: How do I prevent the maschine
from listing the 4000 packages I have on my CDs, so that I dont have to choose
from them again? Or, can I save the choises I have made, so I dont have to
go through it agaib?
3. My last unsuccsessfull methos: Installing from
sourch code. I did this (as said in the magazine "Linuxformat", that I purchased
with a CD and the program I want):
-tar xjf
/cdrom/Desktop/KDE22/packagename.tar.gz (I typed the packagename were this is
written). This point only partially worked; my machine wouldnt execute the "j"
command, but I managed without it. (tar xf ).
-having untared and unarchived
the saying files, I changed to the directory where they was (on my harddisk, I
even tried beeing on the CD, but nomatter; the same result).("cd
packagename")
-Then i typed ./configure (The
CD has a program wich then is to execute). The machine prompted me "QT is
missing" and stopped. Perhaps this is the problem. Butr also when I tried the
KOffice, and then it missed nothing. I tried the next command:
-make There everything stopped.
"Cant find target it said". And there it is...
Should I write to the magazine, or am I doing
something wrong? Or perhaps my downloaded Debian files are to use? Any help wuld
be appreciated!
Hope someone could think of something!

Re: Installing programs from a none-debian CD or from the Harddisk
Hi, apt will only work if the source media is correctly fomatted (ie., just putting some .deb files on a CD will *not* mean that apt can make sense of the files.) However, have you tried using 'dpkg --install /path/filename'? This allows you to bypass apt and install packages directly. Keep in mind, though, that like rpm, dpkg cannot automatically track dependencies for you; you'll have to do that manually as well.

Re: Installing programs from a none-debian CD or from the Harddisk
Axel, You have potato which consists of fairly old files as base and only updated for security updates. "tat -I" used to be for bz2 in upstream (used for potato). "tar -j" is for bz2 in new upstream (used for woody and recent RH). Besides, even if you try to compile from source, these fast moving packages tend to depend on new files. These behave better on woody system. Problem is woody may even comes with KDE2 softwares of even newer versions. If you have access to high bandwidth access, think about upgrading to woody :) :) On Mon, Dec 17, 2001 at 01:27:01AM +0100, Axel Bojer wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: "Axel Bojer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Mike Alborn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 1:23 AM > Subject: Re: Installing programs from a none-debian CD or from the Harddisk > > > >Mike Alborn answeared me this: > > "Hi, > apt will only work if the source media is correctly fomatted > (ie., just putting some .deb files on a CD will *not* mean that apt can > make sense of the files.)

Re: Installing programs from a none-debian CD or from the Harddisk
Axel, You have potato which consists of fairly old files as base and only updated for security updates. "tat -I" used to be for bz2 in upstream (used for potato). "tar -j" is for bz2 in new upstream (used for woody and recent RH). Besides, even if you try to compile from source, these fast moving packages tend to depend on new files. These behave better on woody system. Problem is woody may even comes with KDE2 softwares of even newer versions. If you have access to high bandwidth access, think about upgrading to woody :) :) On Mon, Dec 17, 2001 at 01:27:01AM +0100, Axel Bojer wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: "Axel Bojer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Mike Alborn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 1:23 AM > Subject: Re: Installing programs from a none-debian CD or from the Harddisk > > > >Mike Alborn answeared me this: > > "Hi, > apt will only work if the source media is correctly fomatted > (ie., just putting some .deb files on a CD will *not* mean that apt can > make sense of the files.)
