Hello!
I'm new to the "Linux Wonderfull World", and surfing the Web,
I found the Debian page. I downloaded the Debian Linux, installed
it, and used (+/-) since October, but I've not much experience, and
an energy problem caused the system to display this message when the
computer rebooted:

I recently upgraded a bunch of packages on my Debian box and I had to
go though about 10-15 epsiodes of:
You already have a copy of /etc/foo.bar

Lars,
What you need is a copy of the Adobe Acrobat viewer software.
The viewer software allows you the view the PDF files, and is copyrighted
but provided free of charge by Adobe (i.e., you are legally allowed to
upload and use it without $$ to be exchanged; you will not be able
to create of modi

Neither program RETRIEVES mail. They only accept mail that is directly

TO U
The 1996-12-7 boot floppies have been withdrawn. The 1996-12-8 floppy set
will be in ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/frozen/disks-i386/1996-12-8 as soon
as the mirror runs. These are hopefully the final boot floppies for
Debian 1.2.0, please test them.
Thanks

anyone have some words of wisdom? 1) When I do a reboot or shutdown, my system
will hang. This hangup is intermittant. I've installed the "buzz" release,
would upgrading to "rex" solve this? 2) I'm now seeing messages off of this

Hi all, I am trying to get ppp version 2.2.0f-18 running on my

requests.

I thought Linux had a limit of 128M of swap (on Intel hardware). Is this
no longer true?
Also, are there any known problems with using multiple swap partitions,
each on a different drive?

During bootup from the 1.2 rescue disk, Debian sees my two hard drives
(identical Western Digital 1.2GB units, as primary master and secondary
master, with Sony CDU-311 as secondary slave) differently than the BIOS
does, and different from each other. They're identical, but Linux sees
them as

Your choices are two: 1) xpdf or 2) Adobe acrobat. If you just want to
read single .pdf files, I would go for xpdf. If you have

I am uploading a new boot floppy set 1996-12-8. Fixed are:
The inittab bug. The sysvinit package changed and I didn't notice.
modconf complaints about tset, "*" in ipv4 menu, bad drawing in fs menu.
/dev/MAKEDEV complained about its configuration file.
/root/.bashrc
This problem goes away, after I reboot the system, i.e shutdown now -r
But this time I have the follow error message when I run pppd:
Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support
I can run PPP in 1.1, before I upgrade to 1.2. May be I need to recompile
the kernel again to include PPP support th

Hi,
The heavy duty solution is Adobe's Acrobat Reader. take it from
www.adobe.com
The free solution is xpdf, comes as a debian package already, or
as of recently - Aladdin's gs (ghostscript 4.03) comes also packaged for
your debian installation (you are using one, don't you ;-)
