ACPI: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface - Emma Jane Hogbin (adult books to read txt) 📗

class="calibre1">There is very little difference between The Debian Way and the generic way.

In fact it's probably only 10 or so lines of difference.

B.1. Compile the kernel

The "normal" way of compiling a kernel does not use make-kpkg. Instead, it

uses the following steps:

*  cd /usr/src/linux which should point to the 2.4.20 kernel (unzipped)

files

*  make dep

*  make clean

*  make bzImage

*  make modules (remember to unpack your modules first)

B.2. Install the new kernel

In The Debian Way, you create a deb file which contains information about

where the kernel is (and makes the kernel and yada-yada). In the "normal"

way, you put things where they need to be right away. You need to install

your modules and then configure lilo to point to the new kernel and then run

lilo. If you are not doing things The Debian Way your "install" will look

like this:

*  cd /usr/src/linux

*  make modules-install

*  cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz.

*  vi /etc/lilo.conf and copy the structure of your existing kernel. Do

NOT delete the reference to your existing kernel! You need to point lilo to the "vmlinuz" file that was created when you compiled the kernel above

* lilo (yup, just exactly like that.) Lilo will let you know if it's going

to have major problems loading the new kernel.

Warning Do NOT forget to run lilo before rebooting. Type lilo. It's that easy

(and that easy to forget).

B.3. Software packages

You can still use all of the software mentioned in this HOWTO even if you're

not using Debian. Unfortunately it will take a little more effort on your

part to download and install everything. Fortunately it's really not that

difficult. Most software packages include a README file when you gunzip them

which will explain what you need to do to get things working on your system.

C. GNU Free Documentation License

Version 1.1, March 2000

Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

C.1. PREAMBLE

The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other written

document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective

freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either

commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the

author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being

considered responsible for modifications made by others.

This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of

the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the

GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free

software.

We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free

software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program

should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does.

But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any

textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a

printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose

is instruction or reference.

C.2. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a notice

placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms

of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work.

Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you".

A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document

or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or

translated into another language.

A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the

Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or

authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related

matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall

subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics,

a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could

be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related

matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political

position regarding them.

The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are

designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says

that the Document is released under this License.

The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as

Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the

Document is released under this License.

A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,

represented in a format whose specification is available to the general

public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and

straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of

pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available

drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for

automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text

formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup

has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers

is not Transparent. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".

Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII

without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a

publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML designed for

human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, proprietary

formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML

or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available,

and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output

purposes only.

The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such

following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License

requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have

any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent

appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the

text.

C.3. VERBATIM COPYING

You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially

or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and

the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced

in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of

this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the

reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you

may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large

enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.

You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may

publicly display copies.

C.4. COPYING IN QUANTITY

If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100, and

the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the

copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts:

Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover.

Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of

these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of

the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the

covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as

they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be

treated as verbatim copying in other respects.

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you

should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual

cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more

than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along

with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a

publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete

Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the general

network-using public has access to download anonymously at no charge using

public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter option, you must

take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies

in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible

at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you

distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of

that edition to the public.

It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the

Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them

a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

C.5. MODIFICATIONS

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the

conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified

Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the

role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the

Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do

these things in the Modified Version:

A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from

that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.

B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities

responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less than five).

C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified

Version, as the publisher.

D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to

the other copyright notices.

F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving

the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.

G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and

required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.

H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to it an

item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.

J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public

access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a
