[Watford] Installiang Debian

Tue Apr 4 22:16:30 BST 2006

 Hi Matt,

Yep, that did the trick.  Output log is attached.  

I am getting quite imaginative with this stuff now.  I managed to adapt the
apt-get command and told it to install ftp which it duly did. I was then
able to upload the above file to one of my windows servers and subsequently
attach it to this email.

I am will try and install X next so I can use the gui email. That will have
to do till I understand the command line alternative.

Thanks and buonas noches, Walter

When you do: command > log.txt, that takes output printed to, as you say,
stdout, and put's that into the log file. However, errors are often not
printed to stdout, instead they are usually printed to stderr and so you
have to do a bit of magic to ensure that both output to stdout and to stderr
go to your log file. The syntax for that is the following: command >log.txt
2>&1

That magic "2>&1" means "redirect anything going to file descriptor 2
(stderr) to the same place as file descriptor
1 (stdout), and hence because you've redirected stdout to log.txt, it will
now also get the output directed at stderr.

Hope that I've explained that well enough! So the command you'll want to use
is:

     # make-kpkg kernel_image kernel_header >log.txt 2>&1

I suspect that it will be complaining about you not having some tool that it
needs to build the kernel. If you post some of the output once you've
captured it then hopefully I can tell you which tool packages to install.

Matt
