Where are the log files
Hi,
I was wondering where the logs such as syslog or messages are stored while running from CD. I was trying to check /var/log/.... files but they don't seem to be updated ever.
The second question is: how can one update the whole distro with a single command. I want to update all of the installed packages to their most recent versions while being chrooted with apt-get update. Unfortunatelly, I do something wrong...
Thanks

I dunno bout the logs, but updating is easy.
but you can't update an distro running from cd (i guess you know), it must be h-disk-installed.
But after installation, you should check (and edit) the sources.list in /etc/apt (as root) to match the best sites for you (localize them, I mean, and you might want to add stuff. You can find the official, local Debian mirrors on debian.org, and you can find additional sites offering (unofficial) deb's using www.apt-get.org)
After you finished working on sources.list, you should check the file 'preferences', in the same directory. It contains your preferences regardig what branch you want to use, like "stable", "testing" or "unstable". And if there is none/or it is empty, the most up-to-date packages will be used. Most probably, that will be unstable, or even (if you have added its repository in sources.list) experimental.
Remember that unstable isnt that unstable, its good enough for normal use, and its very up-to-date. I even run experimental, and I dont have much trouble...
Then the last step: you should update the list of available software on the web which apt-get knows about, using:
Now apt-get knows what is available. then upgrade your system, either using
or
Code:
apt-get dist-upgrade
If you want to go from one branch to another (like, I guess, yo want to?) then use the dist-upgrade command. that allows apt-get to remove packages, or add packages, if the dependency's have changed. With normal upgrade, apt doesnt allow this, cuz it *might* break something (carefull watch the changes... apt-get sometimes wants to remove whole kde from my system, cuz some update requires so, strangely... I whouldn't allow that )
You might first run apt-get (dist-)upgrade with the -s option, so you can first see what will happen:
Code:
apt-get -s dist-upgrade
well, I guess that's it... Good luck!

Maybe you could help me with one more thing? I want my KNOPPIX to connect to the Internet. Unfortunatelly my laptop (HP ZE4125) has some strange network card that is not supported (I guess). I have plenty of PCMCIA cards, however I don't know what is the procedure to make them work.
Should the PCMCIA card be inserted before I run KNOPPIX CD or after?
What is the next step? What are the commands to make it work?
For example I have a 3Com589 PCMCIA card. What should I do to make it work?
Any help would be really appreciated.
THNX

I just have found another PCMCIA card (in case the previous one is not supported).
The new one is : LINKSYS Combo PCMCIA Model EC2T
-
One more thing:
I have a cable modem (COX). Its output is connected to a LINKSYS router.

well, I don't know anything about PCMCIA, I have no cards, but maybe someone else does. You might also use google to find info about this.
for example google on the name of the pcmcia-card to find out whether it is supported by any linuxdistro (if one supports it, it is likely most others, including knoppix, support it too). You might also try other fora (like local linux tech fora).
Is the PCMCIA card detected? If so, can't you use the normal (a)dsl/cable modem tool (in the knoppix-menu, or under "internet") to set it up? You might read the doc's, or the wiki on this site, for info about PCMCIA-network-cards.
Good luck... And remember, it might be difficult to set this all up, but if you succeed, it will be very satisfying
ow, and IF you find out how it works, considder helping others find out how-to by telling your story in the wiki on this site!!! (under "Docs", on the top of this page, you can find alot documentation in wiki-form -> you can edit and enhance it to help others out)
