Re: How does one activate sound on Slink

1999-08-08 Thread Bill Leach
This is a case where you most definitely want to read the HOW-TOs! The normal distribution kernels are compiled without sound support. The reasons are probably multiple, such as smaller size but in addition sound hardware is so "non-standard" that it is probably counter productive to even try to di

I have NOT used dpkg-split but looking at the man page (man dpkg-split)... You probably want to create a directory (as root): mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/parts Copy the part files from the floppies to this location. If there are MSDOS floppies and you already have mtools then "cd /var/lib/dpkg/parts" fol

New Gateway computer.. can I install Debian on it?

1999-08-08 Thread Colin McMillen
An acquaintance of mine has a new Gateway P3-450 computer with a 12 GB hard drive. She wants to use about half that space for Linux, and I recommended to her that she get slink, because I use it myself and am fairly familiar with it. However, when I tried to install from the slink CD's, I got an er

CRC Checksum on Rescue boot

1999-08-08 Thread Jayson Baird
When using the rescue disk to install Debian from floppies I get a CRC error when it begins to decompress the kernel. I have put new memory in it, new hdd, and still the same error. It does use an older I/o card (it's a suped up 486, motherboard had no I/O channels) so could it be that the error is

Popping Sound problem

1999-08-08 Thread Eric G . Miller
I get an annoying popping sound initially when sound files start playing. I have an Intel SE440BX motherboard with the Crystal CS4232 chip built in. I've compiled the kernel with sound as CS4232, io=530, irq=5, and dma=0,1. I generally run esd, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. An

Lost directories.

In the past three weeks I have lost three directories. Just disappeared. I lost /usr/local/bin and had to start recompiling years's of work. Sure, it's my own fault, but in the several years I have been using Debian GNU/Linux, I have never had this happen. I can't believe I was doing anything

xfs/xfstt

1999-08-08 Thread Bek Oberin
I'm a bit confused about xfs and xfstt. I understand that xfstt is for truetype fonts, and I have it working. But as far as I can tell, xfs doesn't offer any advantage (for a regular user) over just putting directories in the FontPath bits of the X configs. Is this true? bekj -- : --Hacker-
