Another useful software for your toolbox could be etherboot.
A few years ago, I used a floppy image generated by their rom-o-matic to boot
KNOPPIX over the network on an old machine without PXE support.
The servers in KNOPPIX supporting network boot (DHCP, TFTP, ...) are called
"terminal server", which is somewhat misleading.



I'm not sure if it is possible at all to run a full-featured Linux live
CD on a machine with 16 MB of RAM, even in console mode without X.
You might want to try an older or cut-down live CD distribution with a
smaller RAM footprint.


Do you need help?X

Mirko

This will be some interesting fun and games, this part as already said
will be most interesting as windows will overwrite your MBR, non the
less it is not impossible.

My suggestion is that you back up everything as you go on the current
installation of Debian then later nuke everything then start over with
XP first.

Very possible indeed, but a nice mind boggle.

Even so if you want to dual boot these two or windows and any non
Microsoft OS you have to start with the Linux one so it will be the
one to overwrite the MBR as it does it intelligently and leaves you
with your windows installation still accessible.



All in all, good luck whatever you decide... actually maybe you might
not mind updating us later as to what you end up doing and if you are
brave and do try to recover your boot loader you can let us know how
you did that exactly... just a thought :)

I am not sure if this helps as I do the opposite, i.e. change all
www.domain.com requests to domain.com.  I do it two ways.  On my own
Apache server I do it this way:

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/domain.com
ServerName domain.com
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *>
DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/domain.com
ServerName www.domain.com
Redirect / http://domain.com/
</VirtualHost>

and on a paid for hosting account using Rewrite (in a .htaccess file)
this also works, but, again, to do the opposite of what you want:

RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^www\.domain\.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

I have an NVidia GEforce 6800 with two monitors attached.  One is a 
widescreen, hooked up with a DVI cable, at 1680x1050, and the other is 
hooked up with a VGA cable and set at 1280x1024.  They are working, but 
there are two issues I'd like to resolve.

According to KDE, the CRT is #1 and the DVI is #2 (or 0 and 1 in 
xorg.conf).  I've swapped the connections on the card and tried to 
specify the monitors differently in the MetaMode option in xorg.conf, 
but it makes no difference.  I've seen a few issues with this.  For 
instance, when I'm in Konqueror and click on a folder of bookmarks, the 
drop down menu from that always appears on display 0, which is the 
older monitor.  I can understand there are some glitches and if I'm 
going to deal with them, I'd rather have the widescreen, my main 
monitor, recognized as the first screen.

The other issue is one I don't think there's a resolution for.  Using a 
vertical resolution of 1050 on the widescreen and 1024 for the vertical 
resolution of 1024 for the "regular" monitor leaves a deadspace of 26 
pixels on the regular monitor.  I know I can pan on that, but seeing 
anything on that screen move up and down as I move the cursor is very 
distracting.  Ideally, I'd like to set the resolution on that monitor 
at 1312x1050 instead of 1280x1024.  I've tried it and the monitor 
doesn't display a thing.

1) Is there a way to tell my NVidia card or xorg.conf to recognize the 
widescreen as my first screen?

2) Is there anything I can do to get an LCD monitor to work with a 
non-standard resolution like 1312x1050?

Thanks for any help!

Hal

Hey Florian,

Thanks very much for your assistance! I do appreciate it!

Yes, I go ahead and upgrade the linux-image to 2.6.18 and reload udev.
Now it seems the mouse problem is gone but I still not be able to
startx. Because the system tells me:

$-----------------------snap begin------------------------------------
$
(EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
    xkb_keycodes             { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
    xkb_types                { include "complete" };
    xkb_compatibility        { include "complete" };
    xkb_symbols              { include "pc(pc105)+us" };
    xkb_geometry             { include "pc(pc104)" };

Fatal server error:

XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Can you give me some further help please?

Thanks a lot in advance!

To install an new kernel you need package linux-image-2.6.21*. I cannot find
this for Etch at backports.org or anywhere else. (You have probably seen
linux-headers-2.6.21*).

I think that you will have to build the kernel yourself [1]. It's not too
difficult and you can always boot your original kernel from the grub menu if
things go wrong.

You have to compile fuse too - see my previous post. I think that you will need
to load it as a module in your new kernel.

If you have spare HDD space you could install a second Debian Etch system. Then
either build and experiment with your new kernel there or upgrade it to Sid
(Unstable) where everything you want is available from Apt.

Good luck!

Even easier, you can right click on the clock in Gnome and select Adjust

It might be best to uninstall that, it could just be interfering with 
time-admin.

I'm afraid I can't reproduce that in the 64 Studio testing branch, it 
works fine for me. It's got a very cool interactive world map for 
selecting time zones.

I would suggest (but I have not tested) this approach.

1. Create hda1 as primary fat for later use by windows (ie the first partition
on the first disc), then install Debian in the remaining space eg hda2. If you
use hda2 as primary, I believe that windows ignores it and will not try to
remove it, but things may have changed. It looks as though you will be using
hdb1 for Debian, so that should be straightforward.

2. Once Debian is installed, create and test a Grub boot disc [2]. This will
enable you to boot back into Debian after windows has overwritten your MBR on
hda. Back up the MBR [2].

3. Install windows and test it.

4. Boot into Debian from the Grub boot disc. Modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst file
to include windows in the grub boot menu. Google for the details, but add
something like this:

	# This entry for a non-linux OS on /dev/hda1
	title           Windows NT/2000/XP (loader)
	root            (hd0,0)
	savedefault
	makeactive
	chainloader     +1

You may find the update-grub manpage useful.

5. Restore the MBR so that the boot loader runs Grub again.

It is certainly possible to proceed that way. There is one problem: as so=

ugh your Debian is missing. Of course, it you have installed Debian on a =
seperate disk it is still there, only not bootable.

There are several solutions! If your computer has a floppy disk you can p=
repare a floppy with GRUB on it to start your Debian. Or you can use a CD=
 prepared to start Debian. Or you can use e.g. a Knoppix CD to boot your =
computer and the re-install GRUB.

It is important to choose a method that works in your situation and testi=
ng it before installing XP.

Hi,

today i tried to use "subcommander" for a subversion project. I'm very 
frustrated:  After an hour i was still unable to see the content of a 
working copy folder.

Somebody out there who can help me?

What i did:
1. In a shell I checked out a local working copy manually: > svn co 
https://svn.mysvdom.org/project/trunk/
2. In the subcommander i added a new project.
3. In the new project i added a new working copy. For the working copy i 
selected the local folder from above (1.)

The right part in the subcommander window only shows a dot '.' and 
that's it. Double click didn't do anything. Non idea what to change in 
the project settings to make it work :(

Any help would be much appreciated!

Do you mean bad ram? Or is it a timing issue from bios that need twiddling? 
The machine's been flakey like this since I got it.

Try XINE, I have had trouble with totem not in crashing but in ability 
to play video.  Thankfully there are alternates in linux should one 
product fail you.  However should xine kill Xorg then look to fixing 
that.  Also, vnc may work for you.

I have an Back-UPS LS 500 that works like a charm.
What is especially good about it is the support you get for the software 
from the developers, in particular Adam Kropelin. You write to the list 
with a problem and instantaneously get an answer.

Interesting.
I ran first kqemu with a modified Debian 2.6.21-1-k7. The EXACT changes 
I made were:
1. Turned off PARAVIRT
2. Applied patch 2.6.21-ck2
3. Applied Debian LOGO patch + turned on logos
4. Turned on kernel timing.

That got me the hard stop on executing qemu

Then I ran with the unmodified Debian 2.6.21-1-k7 and the problem went away.

I *presumed* that it was PARAVIRT, but maybe not, I never did a full 
regression of the 4 changes: too much work because each compile takes 
1:20 hr.

Hi,

I have a samba question.

I run qemu with an XP client. It all works out_of_the_box: sound, 
internet connection with tun and file sharing via samba.

But I wanted to share a directory that I indicated with -smb /hdb7

And that is not what I get: after setting up samba users with smbpasswd 
I get the user's home directory that is shared, not /hdb7.

If I run qemu from a different user, I still get the home directory of 
the first user that is shared.

Any samba experts out there?
