I think it's a much better idea to download the distribution package by
package, rather than a big image. Especially if you don't have a *very*
fast internet connection. You will have the big advantage that you can
keep your mirror up to date without downloading another huge image. All
this is automated in Debian and not tedious at all.
Debian has tools which allow you to download the distribution on an "as
needed" basis, and organise the packages in a local partial mirror of the
Debian site. You can keep extending and updating your mirror as you
download and install more packages.
To start with, all you need is the installation boot ("rescue"), root and
driver floppuy images; if you choose the "compact" dist. that's just three
floppies. During installation, tell the installer to install the kernel
and drivers from floppy, and use the floppies you made. Then choose to
install the base system from the network and the installer will download
the base system for you, which is only a dozen megs or so. You can then
put this on a local webserver so that any further machines you build
will download it from your local net instead of the Internet.
After that, tell the installer to download the core packages from the net.
They will be cached on disk and you can use apt-move to move these to a
directory which will become your local partial Debian mirror.
If you try this and need more help, post again in this thread and I'll do
my best.

The first thing to try is to change firewalled_machine to localhost or another name that resolves to a local address that would be allowed by a firewall that blocks all but loopback traffic to sshd. Probably that's not the case; people generally allow sshd to accept connections. From here, I'd try a couple of different things: use telnet or netcat to connect and see what you see. You should get something like SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9p2 (the sshd's version string). If it doesn't even get that far, try it locally -- instead of connecting through the tunnel, just try telnet localhost 22 on the firewalled machine. Is it really accepting connections? If so, maybe you should try your tunnel setup on different ports using netcat: firewalled_host$ nc -l -p firewalled_host$ ssh -g -R 3001:localhost: outside_host outside_host$ nc -p localhost basically, my advice is to simplify and test incrementally until you can find out exactly how far it works. If the above tests work. try connecting from another outside host to outside_host instead of from localhost. IF that fails, you know it's a gatewayports problem. It seems like you're saying that part works, but you get the idea. The next test would be to see if it works to your listening netcat but not to sshd. Sorry, this advice is very general and is not the answer you may have been looking for, but I hope it helps you track down the problem and solve it. good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M' pgpqzk7QCfoAF.pgp Description: PGP signature

This is not new I'm afraid. And warning people _on_ the list is not well thought through. I imagine the minority of the list readers are _not_ subscribed.

Exactly. People say it's "obvious" but other people are getting caught out so it's obviously not "obvious". And what harm does it do to say in the subscription email that a) you may get spam, and b) these posts go to usenet?

Spam on the Internet is like weeds in a garden. You can avoid both but
only if you don't do much on the Net or in the garden.
A more sensible approach is to assume you will be bombarded with offers
of Viagra, of bouncing Asian teen babes and spy software. Altruistic
souls troubled by your poverty will offer chances to make billions. You
know they really are altruists because otherwise they would make the
money themselves instead of taking the time and care to share the secret
of infinite dollars with you.
Now armed with this assumption, set up a .procmailrc or .forward to block
them. To get you started, my .forward which has a way of scoring mail
to filter spam is attached. I get a certain malign pleasure out of
checking my junlmail inbox from time to time just to have the
satisfaction of having the filter work the way I want.

oberon in linux?
Hi!
I would like to know if there is any way of using oberon on linux? Since
the faculty which I am a student of has a class called Programing 1,
which teaches the use of Oberon as a object programming language. I
would like to pass the class without the need to install windows on any
of my computers, so I would really like to find an alternative in linux.
For now I have found oo2c, which has built a binary from my code, but
that binary just did nothing when executed, and I found an oberon
program for linux, which has a gui, but does seem to not create any
binaries, it compiles the program and tells you if there were any errors
during the compilation, but the output of the program is not shown.
(Since the classes havent started yet officially, I am just testing the
environment, and I don't know how to code in oberon yet, but I have
written a simple helo world type of app, the source is appended, could
someone check if it is even written correctly?)
Can anyone enlighten me about this? Can I learn oberon under linux also?
THX in advance!

After my linux upgrade I booted up Windows and never got ADSL to work on it at all. I didn't associate the two problems since Linux had just run successfully. Since then I ran `winipcfg' on Windows and it also showed IP 192.168.1.2 from DHCP server 192.168.1.1, same as on Linux. The weird it that I disconnected the phone line from the ADSL modem, clicked on `reset', and got the same answer back! So perhaps the ADSL modem is storing it somehow. Leaving everything unplugged all night didn't help this morning (I thought perhaps something would get reset). Peter

My attitude is usually to send a reply to at least the list and sometimes to the person themselves. If the mail to the actual person bounces, then at least it's on the list where they'll likely see it. I see what you mean though.

Instalation on a laptop advise...
Hi there! I have a lapotp I want to install debian in, it has a nic that needs a modifyed version of tulip To be able to use it I need to copy the modifyed version and recompile the kernel to recompile the module... The instalation cd I have for debian doesn't have any packages, It get's them from the net... Is there a way to interupt the instalation and add the file and recompile and then install the packages? Or do I have to download the full cds from debian? Thanks!

I just got a reply from my provider's help desk and they say that 192.168.1.1 is assigned by the modem when it can't reach the network DHCP server. So at least I know I'm not going insane. It doesn't look like it's a Linux problem. Peter

Just a quick 2sec search, but this might point you in the right direction: init uses getty (or some variant - check /etc/inittab) to spawn a terminal, and getty spawns /bin/login to produce the prompt and handle user logins. getty can be instructed to spawn a different program with the -l option. Perhaps if you put an entry like this in /etc/inittab: 8:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -l /usr/bin/ssh hostname 38400 tty8 where hostname is the remote host. According to the manpages, getty will pass the name from the login: prompt on to ssh (since /bin/login works in much the same way ssh does - for this purpose). I've not tried this myself - perhaps there is someone out there who has that may be of more help.

It is possible by editing the inittab (/etc/inittab) but it will set a pb if you need a password to set the connection, 2 solutions: * set up the away box so as it doesn't ask for a password * use the right command line option to hardcode the password in the inittab *** ATTENTION *** the second way is *very* piggy. Your inittab is usually world readable. So every one can read your password.

Durring the instalation process it should ask you which packages(acctualy tasts which are sets of packages) you want to install.

If just having those packages doesn't start esound under gnome automatically for you, check gnome's sound configuration, and ensure that the "start sound server" checkbox is selected. If it's still not working, ask again and I'll dig through my config files to try to find out where it's started from.

A simple question about wildcards with tar
Greetings, I'm trying to make a backup with tar, but there are certain files that I don't want to include in the backup. Reading the info documentation about tar, it says that I can use the --exclude=PATTERN option. So if I type tar -cvf backup.tar --exclude='*.fig' * then it excludes all files that end with .fig. However, if I also want to exclude files that end with .fig.bak, then it seems that tar -cvf backup.tar --exclude='*.fig*' * should work. But it doesn't. Typing tar -cvf backup.tar --exclude='*.fig*' --exclude='*.fig' * does work. But it won't work for me in the general case, where I won't know how many characters follow the pattern that I'm matching. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If there is such a file dpkg --get-selections | ssh newbox dpkg --set-selections > what is it and if this is possible is there anything I need to watch > out for? make sure the new box has updated its available packages list before doing that (with dselect update). Also, dpkg --set-selections requires root, so my spiffy pipe will only work if the newbox permits root logins via ssh or if you stick a 'sudo' in there or something. good times, -- Vineet http://www.anti-dmca.org Unauthorized use of this .sig may constitute violation of US law. echo Qba\'g gernq ba zr\! |tr 'a-zA-Z' 'n-za-mN-ZA-M' pgp05vO6erin7.pgp Description: PGP signature
