dpkg hosed after crash
A while back, my system crashed, but I was able to bring up a crippled system that I can limp along with. I lost mostly just data, and what programs I lost, I have been able to replace by reinstalling them. One that is becoming a sore spot, though, is dpkg. Whie it is able, mostly, to install other programs, when I try to upgrade it, it gives me this error: mschmitz:~# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.4.1.3_i386.deb (Reading database ... 42321 files and directories currently installed.)

Run getty on the serial port. There is an example in /etc/inittab. Uncomment it and modify serial port etc. Hook up cable. Run any terminal program on the windows box and upload the files.

You need to recompile the kernel, with module support for the Zip. You'll find it in the SCSI section. Alternatively, there is a kernel patch that will allow you to use the pass-thru feature.

A while back I had a LaserJet (no numbers or plus) working with ghostscript. I no longer have the configs, but IIRC all I changed was the resolution.

IP masq, Token Ring and dhcp
I have a client that I am setting up with IP masquerading. I've done this countless times with ethernet networks. In fact with this machine, I have it running in the office, working well. I take it to the customer's site, set the networking to Token Ring (the networking works, Telnet, Ping etc), but it won't masquerade. Another piece in the mix that I have not dealt with before is dhcp. They have a dhcp server, but the Debian box has a fixed IP. Any other info that would be helpful, just ask.

It has been brought up on the users list, therefore I will speak up on the matter. I have felt, and do consider myself in alignment with David Cinege and Paul Wade.

Limiting bandwidth on ftp server
My ISP is considering allowing me to setup a debian mirror, but he is concerned that it may use excessive bandwidth, because of the possibility of someone with a fast data connection might use it. We thought about using a machine with a slip connection, but were hoping to do it with a virtual domain and a hard drive rather than dedicating a whole machine.
