hello, just switched to debian anmd run into some problems... - first of all i want my favourite mailreader back: pine. the problem is, that the version for thesrc and diffs is 3.96 and i want to sue as before 4.03...
now when i try to build pine by hand i get the following message: 05:34:36 yoda:~/tmp/pine4.03$ build slx Cannot stat debian/rules i am quite clueless about this message..... what shall i do to get a working copy? How hard is it to make a debian package out of it? - then i use dselect to install or remove packages, i use a nearby mirror and wanted to include the non-US part, but: getting: dists/stable/non-US/binary-i386/pgp-us_2.6.3a-4.deb (283332) dists/stable/non-US/binary-i386/pgp-i_2.6.3a-4.deb: No such file or directory. the path is wrong.... i have set the path to dists/stable/main dists/stable/non-free dists/stable/contrib /pub/mirror/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/hamm the last one since the stable link in non-US pointed on bo and not hamm (which i have...) and BTW when retrieving the Package listings, dselect get's it right: Login as anonymous... Setting transfer mode to binary... Cd to `/debian'... Checking dists/stable/main/binary-i386... Checking dists/stable/non-free/binary-i386... Checking dists/stable/contrib/binary-i386... Checking /pub/mirror/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/hamm/binary-i386... Closing ftp connection... Getting Packages files...(stop with ^C) etc. without a prob... so how get it right? - when the bandwith on our ethernet sinks due mainly to a very slick M$-proggy, my brand new debian system looses its system name (at least i noticed this every time the network was out for several minutes...) the name beeing replaced by a '-f'.... that's quite annoying since it also affects my rights to the display (after that impossible to open a new X-app...), what can i do against it? (su'ing and resetting the system name isn't very interesting...) - i just got from Conrad Electronics a DCF-77 module that can be attached to serial port of my computer, there even was a software delivered for it but for DOS... serail number on it is WT-102S Radio controlled clock.... is there any software for GNU/Linux debian to make a ntp-server with such a thingy? thanks for any help ciao bboett ============================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://erm6.u-strasbg.fr/~bboett =============================================================== the total amount of intelligence on earth is constant. human population is growing....
