Matthew, Thanks for your help. I have tried that and as far as I can see it is not mounting the drive properly. Is there a boot log I can look at to see what it does (it just flashes past at boot)? When booting I get the message: Network package loading was enabled PKGSRC: Network I assume it is both Network and Fixed enabled and not just network? If I mount the drive manually mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /fixed I can access it fine (read only anyway). I am assuming the packages are not being added because all I see in /usr/bin is sendip (would expect to see all the packages available here). Does the pkglist file need to contain only the packages I have on my hard disk, or will it skip ones it can't find? Also, one last thing, the first time I booted it asked if I would like to load packages from a floppy, I said no, now it does not ask me anymore. Can I enable this option again?

Hello The computer is under NT 4.0 with NTFS filesystem on C: A secondary drive is in FAT32 on D: I want to copy a file from D: to C: but NT doesn't recognize FAT32 partition (that sucks) Is there a way with trinux to copy the file from the FAT32 partition to the NTFS partition ? Thanks |

Hello, I created on C: a directory "trinux" Loaded "ide.tgz" on the boot floppy On the boot floppy in /tux/config/ there are 3 files 1.. netpkg with "prompt" 2.. fixedpkg empty 3.. gateway 192.068.0.1 can I create a file "pkglist" and what format do I use to enter the = package names? Thanks in advance. Emiel wellekens=20 |

I'm not sure if I've updated the documentation yet (this and getting samba
working are about the only thing holding up the final 0.80 release)

create a /trinux folder on the root of the hard drive (preferably your
first drive/partition, although it should matter) -- you should see
trinux going through all filesystems it finds (and can mount) looking for
a trinux directory and a specific package
from linuxrc:
for i in `cat /etc/tux/config/fstab`
do
cd /
part=`echo $i | cut -d: -f1`
fstype=`echo $i | cut -d: -f2`
echo "Checking $part ($fstype) for Trinux packages"
if mount -o ro -t $fstype /dev/$part $part
then
cd $part
if [ -f trinux/baselib.tgz ]
then
echo "Packages found on $part: loading..."

I have just started using Trinux and am having trouble controlling which packages it loads. When using version 0.80 I am unable to load any packages from either fixed disk or floppy. I have the IDE and NTFS drivers (Its an NTFS hard drive) but cannot find out how to force Trinux to look on the drives for packages. I have added the packages to pkglist but this does not seem to help. When using versionb 0.70 I can load packages from floppy OK, but again not from the hard disk. I have tried adding fixed to the tux/options directory, but this does not seem to work. This version does not have a pkglist at all (but loads packages from floppy fine). Do both versions work the same way? I assume it is best to use version 0.80 if possible. Thanks, Ian |

Hello, I dedicated a PC 486DX as Trinux platform, 16Mb ram and a 40Mb IDE disk. The disk mounted as # mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt 1) # ethereal -w /mnt/record device eth0 entered promiscuous mode Capturing on eth0 VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for kswapd (or "syslogd" or = "ethereal" or "init") What can be the reason ?? 2) The following command # ethereal -r /mnt/record (size of record =3D 14563) only displays the first two records. For a file size of 78428 I got an error : Segmentation fault ?? 3) How can I check the available memory ? Thanks in advance, Emiel=20 |

You will need to specify the io and irq that are passed to the kernel in the syslinux.cfg file on the boot floppy. There are some sample cfgs there, such as: display license prompt 1 default network timeout 30 label floppy kernel bzimage append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 pkg=floppy label 486 kernel bzimage append ether=3,0x220,eth1 ether=11,0x1000,eth0 initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 pkg=network label gxa kernel bzimage append ether=10,0,eth0 ether=5,0x300,eth1 initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 pkg=network label cdrom kernel bzimage append initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 pkg=cdrom label network kernel bzimage append vga=4 initrd=initrd.gz root=/dev/ram0 pkg=network The "network" label boots by default so add ethere=irq,io,eth0 with whatever parameters are set on the jumper or NIC BIOS.

Try the e100.o module at http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/kernel/net/ There is also a README (e100.txt) that talks about which parameters to use when you insmod it.

It's been a since I've announced new packages, although I've been adding them slowly over the last few months nasl.tgz - the Network Attack Scripting Language for Nessus 1.0.6. The plugins from the Nessus (http://www.nessus.org) work if you strip off the description crap used by the GUI interface. No I probably won't be including them, for obvious reasons. Nothing like a trinux box with 500+ exploits ;) BTW, for an amusing (yet highly inaccurate article on Trinux, see http://www.pigdog.org/auto/weird_linux/link/790.html ) Here's an excerpt: The deal is that this Trinux is a single-floppy Linux distribution. It's got a whole bunch of tools for network monitoring and probing a computer. It's billed as a "security tool," but e all know that that just means it's for BAD HACKERS! Anyways, all you have to do is walk up to a computer, drop in the Trinux floppy, boot up, and you've got a complete tool for [deleted] UP a computer network. It's got all this software on the SINGLE FLOPPY to go mucking around all over a network, doing all kinds of bad things! I don't know what those things are, but they're bad! Of that I am SURE! [ The rest was so obscene I couldn't print it ;) ] -- netsys.tgz - this will be on the boot disk and contains a CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) client and a smail SMTP client that can be used to send logfiles, alerts or whatever. The next release has the optional features of sending email notification when a Trinux box comes up with the IP address so you can SSH. I also have a primitive web monitoring capability (useful when you have a dozen or so trinux boxes running at once) ipgrab.tgz - ipgrab 0.8.2 another pcap sniffer sendip.tgz - a packet generator (v 1.3 I believe) gnupg.tgz - Gnu Privacy Guard 1.0.4 - contains a setup script (gpgcfg) for generating an initial keyring, etc. for the trinux host and adding public keys and well as a cool mail script (gpgmail) for emailing ecrypting log files (or nmap scan output, or tcpdump files, etc) Imagine the possibilities. Hourly nmap scans show up from trinux boxes all over the world all encrypted (of course) gnupgloc.tgz - gpg localization stuff (I don't use this, but you might have to) The following packages work if manually configured/started, but are not integrated into the boot/startup/configuation process: bind.tgz - ISC named 8.2.2-P7 dhcpcd.tgz - ISC dhcpd 2.0pl5 serial.tgz - modules for 2.2.17 and PPP binaries, minicom, and agetty (I actually got Trinux working through a console server) *** Don't ask me why I built these ;) These have not been tested sufficiently enough, but probably work (libgmp.tgz is required) fswanbin.tgz - FreeS/WAN 1.8 binaries fswanmod.tgz - ipsec.o kernel module (for kernel 2.2.17) httptunl.tgz - tunnels TCP connections over HTTP (useful for bypassing proxies) I created perl 5.6.0 modules (libdb.tgz is required), you probably don't need all of them. Any perl gurus want to write some documentation for me?? perlbin.tgz - perl interpreter, you can probably get by with this for minimal scripts perlauto.tgz 0 2000-12-10 14:48:28 ./ 0 2000-12-06 22:25:38 usr/ 0 2000-12-06 22:25:38 usr/local/ 0 2000-12-06 22:25:38 usr/local/lib/ 0 2000-12-06 22:25:47 usr/local/lib/perl5/ 0 2000-12-06 22:25:55 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ 0 2000-12-06 22:26:07 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/ 0 2000-08-22 03:28:31 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/auto/ 0 2000-08-22 03:28:31 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/auto/re/ 109502 2000-08-22 03:28:31 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/auto/re/re.so perlmods.tgz - Perl modules ;) 0 2000-12-10 14:48:32 ./ 0 2000-12-06 20:27:21 usr/ 0 2000-12-06 20:27:21 usr/local/ 0 2000-12-06 20:27:21 usr/local/lib/ 0 2000-12-06 20:27:31 usr/local/lib/perl5/ 0 2000-12-06 20:30:28 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ 2570 2000-08-22 03:28:30 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/AnyDBM_File.pm 10167 2000-08-22 03:28:30 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/AutoLoader.pm 14640 2000-08-22 03:28:30 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/AutoSplit.pm 22111 2000-08-22 03:28:30 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/Benchmark.pm ... perlcore.tgz 0 2000-12-10 14:48:30 ./ 0 2000-12-06 22:20:55 usr/ 0 2000-12-06 22:20:55 usr/local/ 0 2000-12-06 22:21:14 usr/local/lib/ 0 2000-12-06 22:21:14 usr/local/lib/perl5/ 0 2000-12-06 22:21:24 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ 0 2000-12-06 22:21:35 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/ 0 2000-08-22 03:28:32 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/CORE/ 1707 2000-08-22 03:28:32 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/CORE/EXTERN.h 1367 2000-08-22 03:28:32 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/CORE/INTERN.h ... perli686.tgz 0 2000-12-10 14:48:31 ./ 0 2000-12-06 20:31:28 usr/ 0 2000-12-06 20:31:28 usr/local/ 0 2000-12-06 20:31:28 usr/local/lib/ 0 2000-12-06 22:15:32 usr/local/lib/perl5/ 0 2000-12-06 22:15:32 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ 0 2000-12-06 22:26:07 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/ 3780 2000-08-22 03:28:31 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/re.pm 179500 2000-08-22 03:28:31 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/Config.pm 3554 2000-08-22 03:28:31 usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i686-linux/XSLoader.pm .... perlsite.tgz 0 2000-12-10 14:48:33 ./ 0 2000-12-06 20:24:56 usr/ 0 2000-12-06 20:24:56 usr/local/ 0 2000-12-06 20:24:56 usr/local/lib/ 0 2000-12-06 20:25:05 usr/local/lib/perl5/ 0 2000-08-22 03:28:30 usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/ 0 2000-12-06 20:25:48 usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/ 0 2000-12-06 20:22:58 usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/ 0 2000-12-06 20:26:09 usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/auto/ 0 2000-12-06 20:20:03 usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i686-linux/auto/Net/ .... perluni.tgz -- Unicode stuff As soon as I sanitize the config stuff on the current boot floppy (SSH keys, URLs, etc.) I'll burn an new boot image... It uses the latest version of busybox and provides all sorts of "Enterprise" features for running dozens of trinux boxes like I do. :P These are definitely available on the IO (http://www.io.com/~mdfranz/trinux/ ) site, but have been uploaded to SourceForge FTP as well, but I haven't been able to access them. Hopefully they'll start showing up on mirror sites. (http://trinux.sourceforge.net/mirrors.html) which I also updated. Let me know if you want to be added if you are mirroring trinux. -mdf |

The latest version (available off the Beta Links) fails when the HTTP fails. This is probably a bit better, but still not perfect. Ideally one will load packages off your *own* server vs. relying on a packages across the internet. In a yet to be released version, Trinux has the ability to download packages become a package server (or use packages on a fixed filesystem, CD-ROM, etc.) -mdf |

The Trinux configuration seems to stops loading when a ping to the package server fails. This is IMHO a bad desition. My PC is behind a router which blocks ICMP traffic. Gisle V. |

Let me look into this. I believe there is a loadkeys executable including in busybox. What I will most likely do is allow a user to put the keymap on the boot floppy and whatever keymap file will be loaded. -mdf > Hello > > I have just discovered Trinux and it looks really interesting. > Now, as a non american user, I would like to configure my keyboard with the > spanish settings.

Hello I have just discovered Trinux and it looks really interesting. Now, as a non american user, I would like to configure my keyboard with the spanish settings. I got a fully functional es.map file, but I cannot find any trinux package with the loadkeys program for the version 0.70. Any suggestion ?

> It never gives me the chance to configure the NIC. > > Any ideas....thanks again for your time. I really want to use this tool and > sure hope we can work through this. > Oops, sorry. I still have some work to do :) You've got a few options, basically all this stuff is stored on /tux/config on the boot floppy which is a DOS filesytem so you can either change the network config using a windows text editor or mount the floppy within trinux using mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt So in /mnt/tux/config you'll probably see the following network-related config values: gateway - your default router/gateway eth0 - contains IP and netmask (separated by a space) dns - your dns server You can either edit these files, replacing them with your correct values or if you delete the gateway file the netcfg script will prompt you like its supposed to. In that case if you issue a savecfg command it should prompt you for your boot floppy so the settings get permantently saved. Thanks for you patience, although my guess is we still may run into hardware problems with the NIC. You might want to research it on deja.com/usenet/ or RedHat's intel hardware compatbility list to find out if is a fully-supported card or not. -mdf |

Hi, I see from some past posts that some pcmcia network cards are working now. Is anyone using a laptop that has the network card on the motherboard? I am using a Compaq Presario 1825 with a Intel PRO/100 s Mobile LAN. When I run netcfg with Trinux, it allows me to enter the IP address, subnet, gateway and DNS and then gives me this error: eepro100: wait_for_cmd_done timeout! Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this problem. Thanks, Mark |
