I see you had an answer on linux-apus m/l, I agree with this, update the apt, dselect and dpkg packages apt-get install apt dselect dpkg -f Then try the dist-upgrade again, should work better now.

You have to decide for yourself; XFree86 4 offers nice features like better hardware acceleration, anti-aliased text, ... but if you're satisfied with version 3, the effort may indeed outweigh the benefits for you. > I have used an apt-get install xserver -Xfree86 command and been told I > need to download 31mb of stuff and 57mb will subsequently be removed from > my installation.

I suspect your version of apt can't handle the upgrade, one should always upgrade apt firs= t as a rule of thumb. So try just apt-get install apt before trying again. If it still wants to remove a lot of packages, please provide some output. > I don't want to go ahead and find I need to start again. > I pay for my online time per minute so I would like an alternative > method if possible, is there one. (downloading seems alot slower that > using my miggy, any way of speeding this up) Linux has higher latencies than AmigaOS, which is very bad for serial transmission because the internal serial port doesn't have a buffer. Has anyone tried if one of the low latency patches floating around helps? > apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade both take ages, is there an > easier way of upgrading to an up todate setup? I doubt there's an easier way, but you might e.g. be able to (ab)use the apt-zip package to download packages in AmigaOS. --=20 Earthling Michel D=E4nzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast |

Hi again, I also wanted to try to test Rene's 53c770 driver i picked of the developers list, so i got the kernel sources, compiled it (the debian way: make-kpkg) and i think it's working fine, except for Rene's part. Is there anything i should do to activate it, besides setting the CONFIG_CYBERSTORMIII_SCSI=y in the options? Thanks, Pieter! -- Pas op de muonen! |

The tail of the XFree log is below, i boot with the following options:
root=3D/dev/hda4 video=3Damifb:vga 60nsram
The problems Dion seems to be having look alot like mine, the screen
blanks for a second, then dropping back to the console. The two
XF86Cofig-4 files i have used are from the APUS site, both with the
same result. Should these work directly on AGA, or only on BVisions?
Many thanks, Pieter!

Hello all, Ehrm, i seem to be having some stupid problems getting X to work lately. It is saying that it cannot find any screens, and despite anything i do to the configuration file, i cant get it to stop saying that. I'm trying to use X 4.1.0.1 on plain AGA with, by the time, all the XF86Config-4 files i could get my hands on. The strange thing is that i can't remember having such problems in the past, so i was hoping that someone who is also running AGA would be so kind to send me his config file so i can give it just another try. Any other suggestions about my stupidity are welcome aswell btw... Thanks in advance, Pieter Ennes. -- Pas op de muonen! |

Normally I used to boot from either of them hdc2 had linuxppc2000 q4, now completely busted (unknown reason), it was running a server, and now everything is lost :( Ok, so now I'm giving Debian a chance and trying to install it under hde3, after skipping some installation options, it installed the base system. The thing is when I tried to call the / partition with a minimal system, it refused to open the kernel file 'linux'. and it aborted. So again I'm completely stucked, and don't know what to do. BTW I am using stable version. Regards, Rick |

Hi
After trying kernel 2.4.17, I've encountered some things I didn't with kernel
2.4.9. (Using boot-floppies 3.0.19)
1. First thing is, that it is not possible to execute the point "Initialize a
Linux Partition" with an already valid / partition (valid, not mounted!!) (means: I
once came as far as after the reboot with the 2.4.9 kernel, and from then I
have a valid / partition). After selecting this point in the menu, the screen goes
white, and the installer system restarts!
On console 3 I could read:
Mar 3 ... (none) user.info init: Process '/sbin/udbootstrap' (pid 140)
exited. Scheduling it for restart
Mar 3 ... (none) user.info init: Starting pid 146, console /dev/console:
'/sbin/udbootstrap'
Well, if it would work with a clean drive, only partitioned by hdtoolbox and
without any ext2 formatted partitions on it, I don't know. But I definitely
hope so, otherwise I would again be stuck in installing Debian :(
To come a bit furthter in the installation process I then fearlessly mounted the
old root partition. But before the download of the base system started, the
installer warned me not to do an installation on a partition which already
contains an installed system, and I should restart from the scratch. Well, how
could I, if am not able to reformat the / partition..
And oh, btw. it really seems to be a kernel 2.4.17 issue, as with kernel
2.4.9 I can initialize the partition problemfree!
Should I report a bug against the boot-floppies concerning this problem? y /
n:
2. When the installer restarts, it starts in the current console the user is
in. For example, when I change to console 3 shortly after selecting this ominous
"Initialize a Linux Partition" menu point, it will start in console 3 (quite
practical to see the kernel output on console 1 [I am using -v ;) ]).
Otherwise, if I change to console 2 and the installer systems starts there,
this is quite a bad idea, because on console 2 no keyboard entry can be done
(console 2 is the one in which a shell could be started by pressing enter
during the installation). Well, now is this a bug or a feature?
Should I report a bug against the boot-floppies concerning this problem? y /

3. I've encountered a minor translation mistake in the german installation welcome
message (the requester "Version-Info"). I could hunt it down in
http://cvs.debian.org/boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/messages/de/release_notes.
Obviously, there haven't been any changes to this docuement since 14 months,
and I don't think it's nice to already have an orthographic mistake right on
the first requester you see of an installation. So,
Should I report a bug against the boot-floppies concerning this problem? y /

Well, that's it for this time! Concerning the dhcp config of the network: it
worked like a charm! Thanks again to Michel!! Although I then got (repeatedly)
stuck with a corrupt bsdmainutils during the download of the base system.. :(

All the best,
