HD Install :: no-ip

Yes, this worked fine from a hdinstall....
but libc6 still gave me some lines about UTC being 7 hours ahead of me,
(not 5, as it should be)
and CEST was 9 hours ahead of me...
Go figure...

Ever since mydsl-load was created, i never seem to run from HDInstall...
Simply pop the cd in the drive, and reboot...
My HD has been a repository of .dsl's, .tar.gz's, mp3's, mpg's, and stuff...
I've got 5-6 different DSL cdr's, each made for a different computer in
the house, with different themes, files, and uses for everyone here..

Thanks,

The process should work from liveCD if you have enough memory. But you will need to first install the gnu-utils.dsl. That would be like the "enhanced" hard drive install option except for liveCD.

i advise you to try it this way:

echo 'deb http://ftp.cprm.net/pub/debian experimental main' > /etc/apt/sources.list
echo 'deb http://ftp.cprm.net/pub/debian unstable main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install gcc-3.4 g++-3.4 make
cd /usr/bin; ln -sf gcc-3.4 gcc; ln -sf g++-3.4 g++

that way you will get the latest release of gcc

Hi all!
Has any of you ever had any luck installing no-ip's updater? The readme says to run Make, but Make doesn't seem to be included in DSL :/
Thanks for all the help

You don't need make to install no-ip, use the pre-built binary noip2-Linux found in the binaries directory of the expanded tarball. If you would have read a little farther, it tells you what to do if you don't have make on your system:

Quote

If you do not have 'make' installed and you have an i686 Linux machine with libc6, a binary for i686 systems is located in the binaries directory called noip2-Linux. Copy that binary to the build directory

Code Sample

cp binaries/noip2-Linux noip2

But since you don't have make to begin with, change the above to

Code Sample

cp binaries/noip2-Linux /usr/local/bin/noip2

HOW TO USE THE CLIENT WITHOUT READING THE REST OF THIS TEXT

Usual operation?
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -C configure a client <==Do this after you've copied the binary to /usr/local/bin
/usr/local/bin/noip2 run a client
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -S display info about running clients
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -D pid toggle the debug state for client pid
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -K pid terminate client pid

Have more than one internet access device?
/usr/local/bin/noip2 -M -c file start additional instances

Before you try kid's advice, I recommend you read the Sid FAQ first. There is almost never a good reason to run experimental. Ever.
