硬盘安装 Debian

Sunday, June 14, 2009.

1. 下载安装文件

从 Debian 镜像列表 中选择镜像，下载以下三个文件，存放到 C:/debian/ 目录下：

  • debian-31r4-i386-netinst.iso (112M)
  • vmlinuz (798K)
  • initrd.gz (2.9M)

第一个文件在镜像的 /debian-cd/3.1_r4/ 目录中；

后两个文件在 /debian/dists/Debian3.1r4/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/ 目录中。

2. 安装 Grub4DOS

下载 Grub for DOS，按提示安装到 Windows 的 C: 盘。实际上只需把二进制文件 grldr 拷贝到 C: 盘根目录。

编辑 C:/boot.ini ，添加：

C:\GRLDR="Start GRUB"

3. 安装基本系统

重启，进入 Grub 启动菜单，选择 Boot Grub，在 Grub 命令行依次输入以下三行：

grub> kernel (hd0,0)/debian/vmlinux root=/dev/ram \
> ramdisk_size=512000 devfs=mount,all
grub> initrd (hd0,0)/debian/initrd.gz
grub> boot

即开始安装基本系统。

注：

A. 分区基本原则：

  • 必须有主分区 / 和 swap，用户目录 /home 最好单独分区，如果用来做数据库或服务器，分区应当更细；
  • swap 分区的大小：当内存小于 256M 时，swap 分区大小为内存大小的二倍；当内存大于 512M 时，分给 swap 分区约 512M。

B. 桌面环境及其它软件包

在安装基本系统时，按提示设置好网络和 sources.list ，安装好基本系统以后，用 APT 安装桌面系统及其它软件包。

ThinkPad T61 安装 Windows XP 的必要设置

Saturday, June 13, 2009.

ThinkVantage 帮助文档中有一个方法 (Access Help --> Advanced configuration --> Installing a new OS --> Installing Windows XP)。 把 CMOS 设置成 AHCI 模式，先安装南桥芯片组驱动，再安装 Windows XP 操作系 统，因为 Windows XP 安装 CD 中没有 SATA 硬盘接口驱动。帮助文档建议从 SCSI 控制器或 RAID 卡安装，否则安装过程中会出现蓝屏。实际上，在 BIOS 中把 SATA 设置成Compatibility 模式，可以绕过缺 SATA 驱动的限制。

关键步骤：

  1. 进 BIOS --> Config，把 Serial ATA(SATA) 设置为 Compatibility 模式 （默认为 AHCI 模式）；
  2. 依次安装：
  3. 开机，进 BIOS --> Config，把 Serial ATA(SATA) 改回 AHCI 模式；
  4. 安装其他驱动……

How to install font symbols' packages (like ifsym) in teTeX?

Friday, August 29, 2008.

It's so easy to generate and set up a new .sty file.

But how can we install a font/symbol package like ifsym ?

Is this a general method ?

  1. create a directory $TEXMF/fonts/sources/public/ifsym
  2. copy all the *.mf *.gen to this directory
  3. create a directory $TEXMF/tex/latex/ifsym
  4. copy all the *sty *.fd to this directory
  5. Add the following lines to the file: $TEXMF/fontname/special.map 
    ifsym public ifsym
ifgeo public ifsym
ifwea public ifsym
ifclk public ifsym
  6. update the TeX file database by running texhash or whatever your Tex imprementation provides.
  7. create a document: 
    \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[geometry]{ifsym}
\begin{document}
\Circle
\SquareShadowA
\end{document}
  8. Run LaTeX, if everything is fine, you should see a dvi that has a big circle and a big square shaded with a simple line at bottom and right of the square.
