| 02:44.25 | stoned | hi, I've had this problem for a long time. I just found my laptop in my closet again. The problem is that I have a laptop running sarge/testing. On it, when I enable dhcp, it gives a kernel panick and freezes. When I enable static ip, it boots up just fine, however the network does not work, no traffic. I don't even know how to boot this with another OS. I don't have the orignal installation CDs for this OS 8. Its a powerbook 3400c |
| 02:44.37 | stoned | what can I do to salvage this machine |
| 02:47.07 | stoned | last time I used some obscure app in the mac os 8 control panel, I can't recall its name. The thing is, it won't boot from any cd. I don't have the orignal cds, but I've been told that the original cds will make it boot. The cdrom drive works fine. Is there any way I can install the stable sarge on it. |
| 02:47.31 | stoned | how would I burn cd, so that apt can search for the packages on the cd? |

| 02:49.19 | stoned | packages are spread across multiple cds. I don't have em. is there anyone to download just the packages that apt will need, but get it from the cd? |
| 02:49.26 | stoned | please advise? |
| 02:49.30 | stoned | -? |
| 02:51.15 | stoned | like a package repository on the cd, with only the packages apt needs (first i need to figure out which packages it does need to update, so how would I go about updating the packages list, the network does not work.) |
| 03:00.03 | pahartik | stoned: your question is good |
| 03:00.29 | dondelelcaro | stoned: you want apt-zip |
| 03:01.04 | pahartik | stoned: maybe you could just use "dpkg --install" on package files until dependencies are satisfied...? |
| 03:12.52 | stoned | dondelelcaro, I don't quite understand the functionality of apt-zip, and not quite sure if its going to work for me |
| 03:14.17 | stoned | the machine has absolutely NO network capability right now. say I download/burn apt-zip packages/depends on the cd, and install them on the laptop. Then I run it, and how will it update the package list? "apt-get update" and the scripts it generates, I read the manpage twice yet I am still a bit confused |
| 03:29.36 | pahartik | stoned: install more recent kernel-image package... it probably depends on more recent other packages... get them as well |
| 03:30.44 | pahartik | stoned: nowadays they are actually called linux-image packages |
| 03:33.00 | pahartik | stoned: but make sure that current mostly functional kernel remains installed and as option on "quik"... |
| 03:34.44 | pahartik | stoned: getting kernel that does not crash on ethernet activity helps much |

| 03:50.15 | dondelelcaro | stoned: you'll have to get the Package lists to the machine somehow; but once you do that, apt-zip will create a set of commands that you can use to create a cdrom or zip disk to burn the packages. |
