Re: changing partition size
Create the extra space as a separate partition the use RAID LINEAR to join the two partitions into one, or simply move some of your current directories to the new space and symlink to them from /.

touching file dates
I pulled most of the HAMM binaries via ftp under Win95. Now that I have installed HAMM and moved the files to a proper set of directories under my ext2fs the file dates are the dates I pulled them down, NOT the dates from the ftp site where I got them (ftp.de.debian.org). Now that I'm trying to mirror the binaries with fmirror, it wants to get EVERYTHING because the file dayes are so mismatched. I've set up my config files to ignore the file time/date if its within at least roughly seconds ;-) but I'd rather correct the dates on my system without downloading the whole 800+meg (at 33.6) again. Any way to touch file dates to match those on a remote (ftp -- no login) system? Gerald V. Livingston II '69 Bug -- AirBall -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Re: touching file dates
I'm punching this back out in case it was somehow missed in the flood. Any answers other than pulling a file list from the FTP site, printing it out, then manually touching the dates of hundreds of files one at a time?

bo or hamm?
I have bo on CD. I'm about to install a new system. Destroying the system and rebuilding from scratch doesn't bother me as it's my home system. In the lists opinion, should I go ahead and re-install bo now, or wait for a hamm CD? Gerald V.

serving a win95 box
Can a linux box be used to serve a Win95 box the same way two Win95 boxes can be hooked up together? Eg. -- can linux be set up in such a way that an ethernet connected Win95 box can 'see' some of the linux drives in its "Network Neighborhood" box, map them with drive letters, and run to programs in those directories as if they were on the Win95 box itself? I'm setting up a second system for the family but have quite a bit of 'extra' HD space on my own box. Would like to use some of my space to store programs for the second box. Gerald V.

Shouldn't that have been 'cp -dpRv /usr/* /extra'?? If you really did use just 'cp * /extra' then you should know that mounted filesystems show up under '/' --- it copied everything in '/boot, /home, /"whatever"' until it reached '/extra'. Then it copied it all over again in '/extra/extra'. Since both were 1gig, I'll bet the new /sur (old /extra) really IS full. PLUS! -- your new /usr insn't JUST /usr. it's really all of '/', which isn't what you wanted. I'd suggest getting logged in as root, umount the new /usr and re-mount it as /extra, and rename /usr1 back to /usr. Then try again. First cd /extra and 'rm -rf' or umount it and mkext2fs /dev/hda3 (safer than rm -rf if you're sure you want a whole partition empty -- no way for a link to send you back into the '/' filesystem). Then mount it and use 'cp -dpRv /usr/* /extra' EVEN IF YOU ARE SITTING IN '/usr' WHEN YOU START THE COPY! Then again try renaming /usr to /usr1 and umount /extra -- mount /dev/hda3 /usr > 1. xdm won't let me log in as anything but root > 2. hda1 partition now shows 0 MB available and >100 percent usage. du shows the same amount >of space being used in /usr and the copied >partition. As the other responder said, you probably DID fill up the new /usr with the 'cp' command, and your first drive hit its limit at about the same time. You may have to operate as root until you are certain everything (/usr) is in the right place, then delete the contents of '/usr1' to get back to normal. You might also want to temporarily kill xdm and do all of this file system swapping from the command line with all but absolutely necessary processes killed to be sure no files are being accessed when you do the actual name change from /usr to /usr1. There will be a period with no /usr at all while you mount /dev/hda3. Gerald V. Livingston II '69 Bug -- AirBall -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
Re: HTML in e-mail
This is old, but I've just gotten down to about 5000 unread messages in debian-user from 9000+, reading threaded by subject . Have one of your people send YOU an email with OutLook or NetScape that contains HTML. Chop the headers out of that and use your script to prepend the headers to your text/html files. Here are the relevant parts from an html message I found in the list. Note that it sends plain text as the first part of the message then html as the second part. Your mail should decide which is appropriate to view. You should need only the 'Content-Type: text/html;' part to send only html. Mail readers may also look for the META tags in the html source so you may want to include that. >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: multipart/alternative; > boundary="=_NextPart_000_0009_01BD7858.393260E0" >X-Priority: 3 >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 >X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 >Resent-Message-ID: <"tpNBYD.A.uxG.BC1T1"@murphy> >Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org >X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/5168 >X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org Precedence: list Resent-Sender: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] Status: OR > >Dit is een meerdelig bericht in MIME-indeling. > >--=_NextPart_000_0009_01BD7858.393260E0 >Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > >Hello, > >I bought the linux debian distribution on cd,(workgroup solutions >inc)= but i have problems installing it. > [--SNIP--] > >--=_NextPart_000_0009_01BD7858.393260E0 >Content-Type: text/html; > charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > > > > >http-equiv=Content-Type> > > > > >Hello, >I bought the linux debian >distribution on = > > On 2 May 98 at 14:08, debian-user@lists.debian.org wrote: > > First off, no "flame-mail" please > > I've got a Linux system here at work that's used for diald/ipmasq > access to the Internet for our LAN.

Gateway/Router for WIN machines
I have some freinds who want to be able to connect their several Win95 machines together for gaming purposes, without going through the internet. There are 8 machines at one location and 2 at another. I opened my big mouth and suggested setting up some "outdated" hardware they have (P-166 setups -- old news for hardcore game fans) as linux routers (one at each location) to create a mini intranet. They already have the machines at each location set up in a win95 peer-to-peer network, but only two machines can game against each other at a time. I believe this is because the poor Win networking is not routing all of the protocols. My questions since I'll have to hel. Will I need a router at BOTH ends of the link? Can I set up the linux boxes to route for the whole network (at each location) to the internet if desired? And last, what, other than the NAG, should I get my hands on as far as documentation is concerned to set up a linux box to be nothing other than a network gateway/router for a bunch of WinDoze boxes. I've never done it so I need as much of a "step-by-step as is available. Please reply to me and CC: the list as I am roughly 3000 messages behind in reading the list due to a new job with rather odd hours. Gerald V.

Re: How to share files with Win95 or NT
This was suggested in another message --- but not clearly. You say you have a shared WIN95 box with a CD available. I assume it is on the same side of the firewall as you -- meaning you would not have to go through your proxy server to *FTP* to that WIN95 machine. So, get a FTP daemon for WIN95 (I suggest WAR-FTPD -- 100%free software) and set that up. Make sure you set yourself up a user account on the new FTP server that has access to the CD-ROM as one of its directories. Now use dselect in FTP mode (in house, direct -- not through the proxy server). On 21 Jan 98 at 13:48, debian-user@lists.debian.org wrote: > See, the problem is I have a computer with no CD.

There is probably MAJOR financial uhh -- 'support' -- from a certain Mr. Gates which assists these hardware manufacturere in maintaing their eat attitude toward other platforms. I personally, however, suggest that anyone stuck with a winmodem as part of a system purchase threaten to return the whole system unless you are given a real modem. If you bought it yourself, try to return it and pay the difference for a real modem. I still don't understand the reasoning behind moving hardware functions into software. Maybe I'm paranoid (-; but it all seems like a plot to force consumers to purchase upgraded machines. It really looks like the reasoning goes this way: "Well, it looks like processors are finally fast enough to do whatever the consumer wants at an acceptable speed So, what can we do to slow them down so they'll need faster CPU's next year?" Maybe 3Com will be more forthcoming with the info now that they have eaten USR? Gerald V.
