Copy the Debian packages onto formatted floppy disks. Either a DOS, the native Linux "ext2", or the "minix" format will do; one just has to use a mount command appropriate to the floppy that's being used. Short MS-DOS filenames: If you are trying to place Debian package files onto MS-DOS formatted disks, you will find that their names are generally too long, and do not conform to the MS-DOS 8.3 filename limitation.

First of all, a warning: whole Debian GNU/Linux is way too large to be installed from media as small as a standard 1.44MB floppy disk - you may not find installing from floppies a very pleasant experience. Copy the Debian packages onto formatted floppy disks. Either a DOS, the native Linux "ext2", or the "minix" format will do; one just has to use a mount command appropriate to the floppy being used.

You can get the installation disks by downloading the appropriate files from one of the Debian mirrors. The installation system files are separated in subdirectories of dists/stable/main directory, and the names of these subdirectories correspond to your architecture like this: disks-arch (arch is "i386", "sparc", etc, check the site for an exact list).

present, installing packages directly from tape is not supported. One can however, use tar, cpio, or afio to copy Debian archive files onto a tape, then copy them onto your local disk for installation. In the same vein, floppy disks containing "tar" files would have to be copied onto a local disk before they could be managed with the Debian package tools.

The Debian packages can be installed from a hard disk on your system, either IDE, EIDE, SCSI (including Jaz drives), or a drive connected through a parallel port. Kernel support must of course be available for the type of drive you have. The appropriate drivers are: CONFIG_SCSI for SCSI drives (including Jaz drives), along with one of the (many) drivers for your particular SCSI interface.

Linux supports the ISO 9660 (CD-ROM) file system with Rock Ridge extensions (formerly known as "High Sierra"). Several vendors provide the Debian distribution in this format; these vendors have directly supported the Debian project: I-Connect Co.: I-Connect provides the master FTP system used by Debian developers, and its network connection and system administration.

The following instructions assume that you created the backup using WinZip software as mentioned above. Insert the last floppy disk of the set in your floppy disk drive and open the zip file on this floppy disk corresponding to TaalMala installation using WinZip software. After you have unzipped the installation package, use the original serial number and registration code provided to you for installation. If you have any problems, contact us.

Linux supports the ISO 9660 (CD-ROM) file system with Rock Ridge extensions (formerly known as "High Sierra". Several vendors provide Debian GNU/Linux in this format. Warning: When installing from CD-ROM, it is usually not a good idea to choose dselect's cdrom access method. This method is usually very slow.

Files under the directory /usr/local/ are not under the control of the Debian package management system. Therefore, it is good practice to place the source code for your program in /usr/local/src/. For example, you might extract the files for a package named "foo.tar" into the directory /usr/local/src/foo. After you compile them, place the binaries in /usr/local/bin/, the libraries in /usr/local/lib/, and the configuration files in /usr/local/etc/.

Debian packages on remote hosts can be installed via the Network File System using a SLIP, PPP, PLIP or Ethernet connection. SLIP and PPP require that the the netbase and netstd packages be installed first. These packages are not part of the Debian base system, and must be obtained by one of the other methods described in this section.

Install the Debian tool dpkg-ftp. This package is currently installed in the directory project/experimental at ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ and its mirrors. To do install a package, see notes on dpkg. Then invoke the program dselect, which will call dpkg-ftp for you, guide you through the selection of packages, then install the packages, without every downloading the packages themselves to your machine. This method is designed to save the user both disk space and time.

You will need the Winzip software and three 1.44 MB floppy disks for this. If your computer does not have Winzip installed, you can download an evaluation copy of the software from www.winzip.com. It is also assumed that you have downloaded the software from the internet and saved the exe installation file on your hard disk. Add the TaalMala installation exe file (the installation package you downloaded from the internet) to this new archive.

Make sure you do all steps as root. Download and install Tomcat x@y:/$ cd /usr/local x@y:/usr/local/$ wget http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-5/v5.0.28/bin/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.tar.gz x@y:/usr/local/$ tar -zxf jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28.tar.gz x@y:/usr/local/$ mv jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 tomcat Make script so you can start-stop-restart Tomcat (make sure that java path is correct!). x@y:/$ cd /etc/init.d x@y:/etc/init.

Yes. You can boot the Debian installation system from a set of files you can download from our FTP site and its mirrors. You can download a small CD image file, create a bootable CD from it, install the basic system from it and the rest over the network. For more information please see http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/. You can also download even smaller floppy disk image files, create bootable diskettes from them, start the installation procedure and get the rest of Debian over the network.

Using www.RecycleWorks.org, I looked up your inquiry using the "Recycling Center Search" link. Please refer to www.RecycleWorks.org or contact these organizations to find details.

Open an existing IMA file, or create a new IMA file. Browse into the IMA file inside an Explorer Window and use the "Run Tool" link or submenu. If you cannot create/open IMA files, re-install CompreXX and make sure you select the "WinImage Archives " plugin.

Open the menu with available drives (Alt+F1/F2) and open the context menu for the desired floppy disk drive (click the right mouse button or use Shift+F10 key). You can choose "Format..." or "Copy Disk..." from this menu.

Floppy Disks are extremely unreliable! Many students have lost essays and class projects as a result of a failing floppy disk. Don't let this happen to you! If you must use a floppy disk, make at least two back-up disks. Always create more than one copy of your files, and save them in multiple locations (or e-mail the file to yourself) Print out a hard copy of your document. In the event of floppy disk damage, you will still have the printed copy to work from. Beware of viruses.

Our software is too big to fit onto a floppy disk. Arrangements can be made on a case by case basis for a CD to be sent via post.

Go to address http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp and download packet that contains java JDK and JRE with extension .bin Download it in directory /usr/java (do all steps as root). x@y:/$ mkdir /usr/java x@y:/$ cd /usr/java x@y:/usr/java/$ chmod 755 jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-i586-rpm.bin x@y:/usr/java/$ ./jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-i586-rpm.bin After installation, make and run this script. x@y:/usr/java$ pico skripta.sh #!/bin/sh for i in 'find /usr/java | grep ^.*\.

O: At first, check if you have set "Display dialog with extended options before packing" checkbox in menu Plugins / Plugins / ZIP / Configure. Then run Pack command (Alt+F5), choose ZIP packer and archive name on floppy disk (if you want to pack directly to floppy disks - e.g. "A:\archive.zip") or on disk (if you want to create multi-volume archive on disk). When you click on OK button in Pack dialog, you'll see Create New Archive dialog.

In the simplest case where you have a standard 1.44MB floppy and you want to put a basic DOS filesystem on it (so you can read the disk on a windows machine) just put the disk in the drive and type: If you only put tar files on floppy diskettes then the “high level” format described below is irrelevant. It neither helps nor hurts to create it. You must, however, be sure that your diskette has a low-level format. Instructions for creating a low-level format are given below.

Floppy diskettes are not indestructible. Just throwing them into your backpack with your college text books will damage them. Any bending of the disk or damage to the sliding protector can make a disk unreadable. When you are working with applications such as Word, Excel, Power Point, Glencoe Keyboarding, etc., the program is constantly saving a temporary file to your floppy disk. If you remove the disk before closing the program, it will make the disk unreadable. Please read # 2 again.

Select the files you want to archive in an Explorer window, and right click the selection. Choose "Compress...". Check the archive types you want to create, then click "Settings". In the "Settings" window(s) that appear, specify that you want to enable spanning onto floppy disks. All future archives you create will be spanned, until you disable this setting. Click "Details".

A-68) No. However, we provide FREE technical support by telephone. We can walk you through the steps over the phone.

Because Biblioscape database tables have fixed length records, the database files are very large. But if you compress the files, a 10 MB database can easily fit onto a single floppy disk. For this you need zip software; we recommend using WinZip (www.winzip.com). Run WinZip, click on the "New" button. Select the floppy drive and give a zip file name. Click on the "Add" button and go to the directory where your Biblioscape database files are located.

No. Due to the success of the annual Experience Pakistan competition and the amount of entries we are now receiving every year, we can now only accept entries on CD's. Any entries recieved by email or on floppy disks will be disqualified.

Because it doesn't work yet. RedSquirrel is a Win32 application and as such is restricted to using the Win32 API. Windows doesn't support anything other than 512byte blocks on floppy/hard disks and Acorn disks use 1024 byte blocks. There are two ways around this, neither are pretty and neither work under Windows 2000. I had a half hearted attempt at writing a VXD to give me bios access but it hasn't been entirely successful. I will try again soon.
