RE: LILO
Chris, to see your options at the boot prompt, just press the tab key. that will give you a list of available partitions lilo is configured to boot from. if you want to change lilo options, boot into linux, by typing in linux at the boot prompt, and edit your /etc/lilo.conf file. the default=win option is what you want to change if you want the machine to boot into linux by default. If you make a change to the file, you must run /sbin/lilo to write the changes out to your mbr. hope this helps out!! jason > > I could not ask this one more ignorantly :-) > > How do I make LILO work, or what prompt would I see if it were?

apt-get upgrade size mismatch question
hello all, i'm having a small problem with apt-get and was wondering if anyone can help out. i'm running woody by the way. everyday i run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, but i always get these errors when performing the upgrade. Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.twoguys.org/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/admin/devfsd_1.3.1 0-1.deb Size mismatch Failed to fetch ftp://ftp.twoguys.org/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/libs/libgmp2_2.0.2 -8.deb Size mismatch Failed to fetch i usually have to go to /var/cache/apt... to manually install the debs, which is a real pain. anyone know why it fails to install because of a size mismatch?? a workaround for this would be nice. thanks!! Jason
RE: How do I start | stop a daemon under debian
adrian, daemons are located in /etc/init.d to start lpd for example # /etc/init.d/lpd start to stop # /etc/init.d/lpd stop to control which runlevel a daemon is stopped/started automatically, use the command update-rc.d. as an example: # update-rc.d -f lpd add hope this helps you out!

RE: Error compiling kernel
Hi, You need to install binutils, as you are missing the as86 assembler. Also, i would run make bzImage, instead of make zImage, compression on the kernel will be better.

FYI, there is a little program called Bootpart, that will allow you to add linux to the nt boot manager menu. having done that, you would no longer need the floppy. floppies are slow, and die often! you will, of course, need lilo installed, but pointing to the root partition of your linux installation, and NOT the mbr. :) http://www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm jason > > lilo.conf is where you describe what bootable partitions are available. > > To enter information about your cdrom, etc., you need to edit the file > /etc/fstab.

RE: Problems Installing PHP 4.0
Hey, PHP needs the apache source dir to properly compile. Your php configure line should look more like this $./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12 --with-interbase --with-apxs $ make $ make install You then must tell apache to use the php4 module $ cd ../apache_1.3.12 $ ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a You neglected to mention if you are using a package of apache, or if you have the source available.

RE: Installing LILO in MBR or in another partition

Here, you can install LILO at the root of another partition and use another boot manager to "point" to that partition and boot debian. for instance, NT boot manager, or Partition Magic's boot manager, or system commander or anything else. that sounds like what you are doing. > > I can't find an explanation of why Debian users cannot put LILO into > the MBR of the disk.

It is safe to install LILO in the MBR, given a few factors such as the size of your drive. the kernel must exist in the first 1024 cylinders because of limitations in LILO. run /sbin/lilo -U to remove lilo from the root of /dev/hda2, then just change your lilo.conf line to say boot = /dev/hda and rerun /sbin/lilo to install in your MBR. it should safely overwrite grub, but just in case it doesn't, make sure you create a boot disk before attempting this, so you can get back into your system. hope this helps! jason

You can recreate your System.map by running make install in /usr/src/linux,

RE: Oracle bI 2nd request
Hi Stan, you don't need anything extra to install Oracle 8i in Debian. java comes with oracle, you need no extra java packages.

RE: Ok heres my problem
It looks like the vfat partition type is not supported by the kernel your running. Are you using modules??

RE: depmod question
Peter, what modultils version are you using?? the 2.4 series requires at least version 2.3.18 or above. check your /usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/Changes file for other relevant software updates you might need to make. If that is not the problem, imm.o is the driver for an Iomega parallel port scsi adapter. Do you have one of those in your box?? If not, get rid of that in your kernel config and recompile.

It seems the ppa and imm kernel drivers are fairly old. The documentation is a bit out of date, at least for anything above 2.2.x. Have you tried sending a message to the linux kernel list?? I bet someone on there would know if there is a dependency needed, but not documented anywhere for the 2.4 series. Thats what my best guess is. Jason

RE: FrameBuffer and XF86
well, i can tell you that is one of the problems for sure. you need to post the rest of your xfconfig file for us though. maybe somebody will see something else.

incorrect. openssh is NOT licensed at all. it includes ssh v1, ssh v2 and sftp-server.

RE: Woody vs 2.4.0 (+framebuffer)
I have compiled everything from 2.4 test5 on up to 2.4.1 pre8 on my woody box, using gcc 2.95.2 and it has worked fine, without any compiler complications. to disable framebuffer you will need to recompile. Jason -Original Message- From: Joris Lambrecht [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 18, 2001 3:28 AM To: 'debian-user@lists.debian.org' Subject: Woody vs 2.4.0 (+framebuffer) Hi, First, Yesterdaynight (like 4am today :) i've started compiling the 2.4.0 once more and this time i took the time for a read (it happens) Apparently, woody comes with a compiler the 2.4.0 readme advices against ... they advice a version prior to 2.95.2 or something and even warn the current (2.95.2) is not REALLY safe. So, i tried a rollback to the version that was recommended (the also mention egcs) but could not find this anywhere in the packageslists i use. (i have archives active for potato as well as testing (woody)) Does anyone know of any real complications ? Second, I've enabled framebuffer support but this screws my video in textmode when i jump to a console from X. How do i disable this without the need to recompile ? (i'm currently using XFree86 4.0.2 with a Matrox G200 8MB, i've also installed the matrox beta driver) Thanks, J.L
