Since I'm going to change my $USERNAME, I'm thinking of rewriting my

I'm playing around with the "bootcd" package's initrd
option. And I can't seem to get it to work. There's
always some complaint about the root file system not
being recognized. I suspect the problem is with some
kernel drivers that I compiled as modules when they
shouldn't.

Hi, I'm a long time user of RPM-based distributions (Redhat, Suse, Demo Linux
and especially Mandrake). My only experience with Debian is with Linuxcare's
Bootable Business Card.

What's the Debian equivalent of a Redhat ? This command

Hi world:
I have actually succeeded in loading two different distros on my pure Linux box
(read no M$): Linux-Mandrake and Storm (a debian-based system). The
arrangement seems fine. X/KDE and Gnome all work! The only problem is that I
can't or in Storm.
The reason: can't find the modules.

"unlike rpm which you need to compile rpm to access a .rpm."
I think not. I managed to open an .rpm using the Gnome file manager in a
debian-based installation. An .rpm appears to be a cpio archive. Correct me,
folks, if this is misinformation.
Besides, you can always "alien"-ate an .rpm

Thru trial-and-error I (partially) solved my problem with my unmountable
LS-120 drive. I had been trying to mount it as /dev/hdd, which is how the

Now how did you manage to install FOUR different distros? I tried installing
two (Mandrake + Storm, a debian derivative). While I was able to run stuff like
Gnome (practically the whole bunch I guess), I ran into module loading problems.
My Storm installation kept looking for the Mandrake modules.

Is there a quick and dirty way, say a script or utiltiy, to convert
an rpm .spec file into the ../debian (sub)directory needed by

I see far more redhat sources floating around than their debianiazed

I don't think so. Loop works fine on my 2.4.1. I made a hasty
downgrade from 2.4.2 after reading your original post and seeing the
problem for myself (need loop for my daily cdr burnings).
Interestingly I used my kernel config for 2.4.2 to recompile my 2.4.1.

Well I guess I may have shared a partition or two. I'm not sure what exactly you

Daunting installation? I totally disagree. Debian is the easiest console mode
installation I have ever seen (Win 3.1, Redhat 5.something, etc.).
The difficult part for me was creating the bootable CD. Once I figured out the

I had tried ftp'ing from /debian/dists/potato/main/binary-i386/. It contains
far too many files to fit on a CD. And it doesn't contain the boot images and
other non-.deb stuff.
So how did I finally get my bootable CD? I (ahem)

install CD). No crashes thus far here.

Maybe it's because you're using woody. Potatoes should be more edible :)

I've installed multiple Linuses in combinations like Mandrake + Debian,
Mandrake + Storm, Redhat + Debian. The biggest problem for me was the module
loading. modprobe produces error messages about not finding the module to be
loaded.
But this may be because in LILO I installed Debian as just anoth

I read somewhere about somebody's problems with xcdroast. My problem is even
simpler (stupider?) I can't get cdrecord to work under debian.
Here is some of the info I have been able to gather about my current setup.

But doesn't Package.gz contain the md5sum of all the .debs under the directory

Doesn't apt-get check this line before installing stuff?

I have a bunch of files I want to rename from .html to .htm. Is there I way to
rename them all at once?
I remember from my DOS days a command like "ren" (or is it "rename"?) that
would do the trick. Something like:
ren *.html *.htm
What's the Linux equivalent of this trick? mv only renames files

I finally found out the answer to my question (I'm the original poster in
this very thin thread).
To get things going, install the latest smpeg (smpeg-0.4.1 +) on top of the
latest SDL (SDL-1.1.6 +). I don't know about the .deb's or whether a kernel
patch is necessary. I compiled the *src.rpm's
