Oh yeah, instead, you can edit /etc/network/options and change:
ip_forward=no
to
ip_foward=yes
Then, either run "/etc/init.d/networking restart", or reboot the system.

I know you said you wanted a GUI email program, but you should really try
mutt. It takes a few hours to learn, and you'll probably need to get some
sort of fetchmail setup working (although I hear mutt can get POP3 mail on its
own).

Currently, I am in potato. If I want to upgrade the whole system
to woody or r3, WHat should i put in my sources.list file?
and what options should I give to apt-get?
Also, is woody and 2.2r3 both same? Or, if different, please briefly
explain.

I am a dialup user. Sometimes, even after connecting to my ISP,
exim doesn't deliver the queued mails. I even tried runq, but still
the messages are deferred, saying retry time not reached. I had
to manually remove those mails under /var/spool/exim/. Why is this
happening? When I am connected,
I am not able to use apt-get. If i run apt-get check or apt-get update,
it exits with error
Unable to parse /var/lib/dpkg/status (1)
The status file could not be opened or parsed.
Help.

Hi
Thanx to all the guys that replied to my post! I had to move over to
unstable so that I could get some reasonable sound output from my debian
machine.
Thanx so much again.

I have decided to try out gnus again. In some way or another I got so
far that I can read my old mail files and I am composing this mail
using gnus.
The documentation is not always very clear to me. I have a
dialup-connection and in the past I used pine and mutt, fetchmail,
procmail and exim to

G'day All,
Just a quick question, how do i configure my Debian testing box so that
the "poweroff" command actualy powers down my computer ? I'm using the standard
2.2.18pre21 kernel that come with debian.
Thanks

Never mind, folks. Figured it out myself.

Hello there :) I'm looking to set up a local Debian mirror(for private
LAN only, until we get more bandwidth), but only of the Sid/i386
distribution. Now, anonftpsync seems pretty good, but I can't get it to
work properly. I've gotten it to --exclude the proper things, but,
unfortunatly, dists/sid/

I was trying to read one of my cdrom archives on a 2.4.3 machine with a
cheap-ass generic ide/ATAPI cdrom drive, but all it could read was the
lost+found directory...
I could read the cd with other drives, so it wasn't a coaster.
On a whim, I tried loading the scsi emulation drivers scsi_mod.o,
