Debian tries to keep all configuration info under /etc/. I find this makes life easy. For your reference, if you want to find all the files associated with a package, do dpkg -L leafnode If you want to find the package a particular file is in dpkg -S filepattern And for every package there will be docs under, e.g., /usr/share/doc/leafnode In particular README.Debian will talk about Debian tweaks to the package (for example, the one for leafnode gives the location of the config file in the first line). Have fun. P.S. I've been using leafnode and have noticed it's sometimes quite slow; that is, the througput of message retrieval is way under even my modem's abilities. I'm curious if anyone else sees this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
