Re: Problems installing apsell-pt
Try using aptitude, by running aptitude. After press the / key, and type in the package name. press enter, then the + key, then g twice, then after download finishes, press enter. Read the docs for more info.

What about dpkg --get-selections dpkg --set-selections RTFM, dpkg(1) Or you can use (which is my preferred way): aptitude search '~i !~M' | tr -s ' ' | cut -f 2 -d ' ' > installed.txt Then simple editing of installed.txt will make you script to install the same packages on new computer.

Request for Cardbus Firewire adaptor recommendations
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 List, I have a need to use numerous Firewire peripherals that I had used with my Apple Titanium Powerbook on my new IBM Thinkpad T42. As Firewire obviously does not come built in with most x86-based laptops, I was looking for recommendations or endorsements of any of the available Cardbus Firewire/IEEE1394a adaptors available. Obviously, native Linux support using the drivers freely available in Debian is a primary criterion. The frustrating thing in my search has been that the cards mentioned on sites like TuxMobil[0] generally don't match up with what I find offered on sites I usually buy from like newegg.com or buy.com. So, any firsthand endorsements would be welcome.

Yes, and you don't have to rebuild anything. Forget all that discussion about dpkg --get-selections and --set-selections. Totally unnecessary. If you copy everything then there won't be any packages to reinstall. Just make sure you copy everything, and do it properly (either with tar, "cp -a", etc.). I would recommend booting into knoppix or a rescue disc so you're not trying to copy a live system. Then make sure you edit the appropriate files in the new /etc (lilo.conf, fstab, etc.) so the new system can boot. I do this everytime I get a new hard drive or new laptop. As a result all of my i386 machines are running more or less from the same debian install from 1998. I love it. brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
