reading linux from MacOs
two things: any mac os can´t see by now your linux disk/partitions. maybe never. you should update for os 9.1, because earlier version are lightly buggy. if you want to see/work on/change files of any type between os 9.x and linux, make a drive/partition pc dos compatible (be warned not too big, it depends on what os you use, range from 256 mb up to 1,5 gb) a good value is 512 mb and is big enough for file transfer. put the driver for dos/fat file system into your kernel, or load it if you need it. thats it. both system can write on this drive/partition without any risk of your data, and both system can see it. thanks frank escher

Re: [OT] Network file sharing
with netatalk and apple talk installed, every mac can see a linux and a windows machine, because in the standard settings of tcp/ip under mac os (regardles which version you use after 7.1) you have to go and switch the usermode to advanced or admin then you have the option button, hit it and you see tcp on demand (i think) is marked, remove it and you will never connect with apple talk. tschau frank escher Andrew Sharp schrieb: > Ethan Benson wrote: > > > > On Fri, Jul 13, 2001 at 08:59:05PM +1000, Steven Hanley wrote: > > > > > > admittedly I and you both avoid macos to the extent of not having it > > > installed > > > or never booting into it, however I am pretty sure apple had to bow into > > > the > > > pressure annd make their desktop support the msot common network file > > > system > > > setup found in the corporate world a few years ago.

Re: Ibook
hi, this is ok, because the new os creates a hfs + (extended) format. you have to create a hfs with the drive utility from apple. tschau frank escher Martijn van de Streek schrieb: > On Thu, 19 Jul 2001, fistro wrote: > > > /dev/hda2 Apple_HFS bootstrap 65536 @ 64 ( 32.0M) HFS > > This should be > > /dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 65536 @ 64 ( 32.0M) HFS > > or something, but it's way too large (800kb is the recommended size) > > Martijn > -- > diatonic: low-calorie Schweppes > > >Part 1.2Type: application/pgp-signature
starting x
i had first the same problems, i tried some things, so i think i found the problem. i have changed the following lines: # # Pointer Section # Section "Pointer" Protocol"BusMouse" Device"/dev/adbmouse" and please if you want to contact me don´t forget this, i´m a beginner of linux ( with different other problems ) and not a developer. thank you. have fun frank escher helping people is better than wasting time with ms-products, nagnag.
problems starting X
i had the same problems before, so i looked in the XF86Config file and there are two lines for me i could found in section pointer for the mouse: default was busmouse and /dev/mouse and i changed to busmouse and /dev/adbmouse and the xserver was running. thanks frank escher

I see only a chance, if you take out your drive.

That being said, after getting it >back from Apple (after the logic board replacement), my data was >undamaged. ^^ This is gambling, because you can not surely say what they do. I know this for sure: Out of ten damaged i- or powerbooks there where 8 with a blank new system on it but there where nothing with the drives, just different problems. I was working in an apple center in germany and you do the best if you copy your files, if you can. tschau Frank Escher -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln!

The CD-booting and the booting after creating the disks brought the same failure But, i found a way to install from CD, to do this needs a little work for you. If you interested i can mail you pictures what to do and everthing is fine (< 5 minutes under MacOS).

Re: Starting X in Debian on a Performa 6360
Hi, on APUS 3000 Clone (PPC/ Performa 6400) it work fine. I do not know about your Installation, but with Debian 3.x for PPC you have to choose the fbdev-server, this is described well in the "howto installation" for PPC. Also the problem with the single button on your mouse. bye Frank Escher -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Jetzt ein- oder umsteigen und USB-Speicheruhr als Prämie sichern!

Do not believe on that test. Again, i´m working with MacTestPro and that program is not much usefull, But the memory test work very good. if there is a defective ram it would be located, If you use the long term memory test, And this will take severall hours depending on your machine and ram. That program is used from AASP Dealers, that means you can´t buy it. tschau frank escher
Re: HFS Plus on Linux ?
Hi, i had the same problem like you, but i wouldn´t have hfs or hfs+ under all costs, included their restrictions. I helped myself out with this: Depending on your MacOS you can create a 256MB - 1.500MB (? not sure about bigger than 1.200MB) DOS formatted Partition. Both systems can read and write, and nothing happens bad to your datas.

Re: Bootable offical Debian-CD
Hi, i had the same problems with booting, but they work. Otto Wyss wrote: I've downloaded the CD images with rsync on a PC(Linux) and burnt it with cdrecord. I'm fairly sure they are correct, under MacOS I can read them without any problem. I downloaded GNU/Darwin on a PC(Windows) and burnt it with nero. I burned the cd´s with toast. it is an image, that means, i didn´t change anything. But i´m not sure to made anything right with the boot procedure (with "of" i didn´t tried it), there is a system folder on the cd, but is unusable for booting with the "c" key pressed. tschau Frank Escher
