Xwindows core dumps.

Where is make-kpkg

1997-06-27 Thread Paul Rightley
I have finally decided to try to compile my kernel 'the Debian way.' Until now, I have always done it 'manually.' In /usr/dos/kernel-source-###/ debian.README it says to use make-kpkg. I cannot find this command on my system or by a search under dselect. I am 'up-to-date' with stable and have d

dosemu comes w/o conf file

1997-06-27 Thread Paul Rightley
I just install dosemu 0.66.3-1 (the version in stable). It manages to install perfectly, but 'dos' gives the error 'can't open /etc/dosemu/conf' or something similar. When I look in /etc/dosemu, I find conf link to a file that is not present - 'dist'. Also, no /etc/dosemu.conf file is provided.
