[OFF-TOPIC] RC5 challenge and linux
Hi, I'd like to encourage all readers on the list with a reasonably regular connection to the internet to download and run the rc5v2 client from http://rc5.distributed.net/ (download the client at ftp://ftp.distributed.net/pub/rc5/v2.004/rc5v2b4-linux-x86.tar.gz) The client runs with a nicelevel of 19, so it shouldn't disrupt the normal operation of your machine.

domain name resolution
I've just done my first Debian installation, after having used Slackware for a couple of years, and I've got my ppp connection working. My next challenge is to get domain name resolution working properly so I can navigate by something other than IP number. My IP number is assigned dynamically by my ISP. In Slackware, configuring domain name resolution is a matter of having my ISP's machine listed in etc/hosts, and having the IP number of my ISP's name server listed as a name server in /etc/resolv.conf. In Debian, however, the resolv.conf file does not appear to be present, and adding it does not appear to help. Where does Debian look for a name server for a dynamically assigned PPP connection?

Help with install: WD7000 Controller and NE2000 card
Package: kernel-image Version: 1.3.1 distribution The kernal in version 1.3.1 has problems with the WD7000 driver. Upon probing for the WD7000, which I do NOT have in the system, in the initial boot sequence (for installation) it drops the link light on the hub for the ne2000 card. Later, when given the option to install an ethernet card it finds the card at the set IRQ and IO address but still will not bring back up the link. To rule out problems with the BUSLOGIC card I removed it and booted without it in and had the same problems when it probed for the WD7000 card.

Here, no problems with a 3C509B. I disabled pnp and set the irq to 5
(for arbitrary reasons.)
IIRC it worked fine already with the default kernel, but I built a
leaner one with 3C509 support rolled in.
Again, no problems at all.

Doesn't the "mca" in these messages refer to the IBM MCA bus "standard"?
Wouldn't that interfere with the VLB bus tou say you have?
Before I found out that my 3C509 went into a genuine PCI pentium, I
thought for a while that the IBM Personal Computer 330 does MCA too -
which it doesn't. Anyway, while reading about MCA I understood that it
does some autodetecting on your busses. Maybe that would be the reason
why your card is not seen by the kernel. Did you compile some kind of
MCA support/compatibility in? Just a wild guess, I hope it helps you.

I guess you probed with irq and io parameters and without (to
autodetect)?

The 16650 is an UART chip, it drives the serial port hardware (it is the serial port in a sense.) "gpm -m /dev/ttySO -t bare" would be wrong in any case. ^ If it is a ttyS0 instead of ttySO then that means that gpm is listening to the first serial port. If you use a PS/2 mouse then it will probably hear not much there. Set it to listen to /dev/psaux and it will listen to the PS/2 port. The script you would have to edit is /etc/init.d/gpm, but running `gpmconfig` would be just fine as well. `man gpm` is your friend and /usr/doc/gpm has the general documentation to gpm.

That is unfortunate, because for the Word user, there's rarely any need to turn it off, which means the Applix user needs to keep Word around just to convert it. How does it handle equations written in MS Equation Editor? Can it export equations back to equation editor too? That would be a great feature, but a big ask perhaps; right now I use Lotus WordPro 97 on WinNT and even it can't export its equations to Word/Equation Editor, it just exports them as pictures (which is no good for editing). hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, StudIEAust [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student, computer science & computer systems engineering.3rd year, RMIT. http://hamish.home.ml.org/ (PGP key here) CPOM: [* ] 53% Your train has been cancelled due to defective government at Spring Street.. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Fast save is not a good way to save anyway ... it just appends data to the file. The file inturn is bigger than it needs to be and is fragmented .. I always do a save as once and a while to clean up the files.

I wrote update-menus, and I've seen quite a few error messages from update-menus. But I've never seen this one (nor do I ever expect this). the place at which it comes makes it actually rather unlikely that it's from update-menus: update-menus only continues working _after_ dpkg finished, which is usually after you have your prompt back. This message seems to have come before any command prompt, so I suspect it's from the netscape postinst. I cannot check now, cause I've got a very old netscape package installed here, and that one doesn't to update-menus at all. > Is this of any importance? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

installing into /usr/local ??
Maybe a stupid question, but how do I install packages into /usr/local if I want to install the package for more than one computer into a NFS mounted directory (like /usr/local). for example the Ghostscript/Ghostview packages should go into /usr/local, so I can NFS mount /usr/local on all machines in our network.

smc 9332 and debian.
I haven't been able to find any documentation on the SMC 9332 network card being supported for linux. I tried using the SMC 9000 series module from the boot disks with no luck, so I am assuming it is not supported by that driver, seeing that I have had a fair amount of experience and success with linux/networking. Does anyone know if there is an alpha/beta driver for this card. 10 mb or 100mb either way is fine, we aren't picky at this point. I'm hoping I can prove to my working cohorts that we will get far better support and success with Debian Linux over other i386 unix variants... So any help is appreciated.

Umm, one would never need install both these packages, since kernel-source is a superset of the kernel-headers package. I mean, if you have kenel-source, you already have kernle-headers. Also, you can just get the pristine upstream sources (you do loose any bug fixes to the kernel put in by the debian maintainer), and get the kernel-package package to help with the compilation.

2 CPU servers
Hi, Our group is considering ordering some Debian servers running kernel 2.0.30 either with 2 Pentium Pro CPUs or 2 Pentium II CPUs. I've read somewhere, however, that, in the dual CPU configuration, lock-ups are occasionally experienced which may cut down on productivity. Does anyone have a Debian box with 2 processors and, if so, are you pretty happy with it?

Printing html Debian documentation?
I would welcome suggestions for printing fairly large collections of html files. My immediate application is to try to make some reasonably attractive printed copies of the contents of /usr/doc/dpkg/packaging.html/ so I can read the collection conveniently some evening. (No, I don't regard borrowing my wife's laptop, transferring all the .html files over, and sitting in bed reading by the glow of the screen as "convenient".) I can always open each page in Netscape or some other browser then click on print, etc. but I find the printed copies from Netscape are not very attractive (fonts too large, line length too long, etc.) and besides, that is a lot of pointing-and-clicking. Is there any program, say "html2ps", that I could configure once to my liking then simply go into the directory and type html2ps *.html | lpr Alternatively, am I completely missing the boat and trying to retrofit a printed copy from the html version of the documentation when there is another, more easily printed, version. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
