Samba problem

2001-02-26 Thread Jason N. Price
I'm trying to get Samba up and running on my debian box (2.4.2 kernel), but am having a bit of a problem. I've got everything installed and SWAT working properly. The debian box shows up in Network Neighborhood. When I try to connect to the debian box, I get the error: \\boxname not available

2001-02-26 Thread Jason N. Price

did something stupid - removed gzip

2001-02-26 Thread Jason N. Price
Okay, I just did something that, in hindsight, was very stupid. :) I have been getting a lot of errors from gzip, so I decided to apt-get remove it and then re-install it. I removed it, but I now seem unable to reinstall it because gzip is not there. Ooops. Is there any way I can fix this?

Problems getting debian to run SMP...

2001-02-25 Thread Jason N. Price
I just compiled a custom 2.4.2 kernel so I could trim it down and add SMP support. I selected SMP along the way, recompiled, changed my lilo.conf and rebooted. Upon reboot, 'uname -a' gives the following: Linux debian 2.4.2 #1 SMP Sun Feb 25 18:54:43 CST i686 unknown This line leads m

Netscape setup

2001-02-25 Thread Jason N. Price
How exactly do I get netscape working? I did an apt-get of netscape, but don't really know what to do after that. I tried running netscape from an xterm, but it complained that the Display was incorrect. I tried exporting the Display variable, but that didn't seem to do it. The Netscape menu

cannot apt-get libc6-dev

2001-02-24 Thread Jason N. Price
I am trying to install Debian (this has been pure hell so far) for about the 10th time and am suddenly having a problem apt-getting lib6c-dev. I don't know what this program is, but it seems to be a system-vital thing, as there are a lot of dependencies on it. Without it installed, I can't in

Crashed during kernel compile - now get only crc errors

2001-02-24 Thread Jason N. Price
I was attempting to recompile my kernel to add SMP support (and trim it down a bit), when the pc froze. I was running the debian method of compiling. I was forced to do a hard reboot. When it booted back up, while in the "Uncompressing Linux" stage, I got a "crc error" message and the system

Kernel upgrade

2001-02-24 Thread Jason N. Price
I am going to try and upgrade my kernel so I can get my lame NIC to work (Linksys LNE100TX) and add SMP support. I have a couple of questions, though: 1) How do I install the source for my current kernel? I'm running 2.2.18pre21, but there is nothing residing in /usr/src. I think I forgot
